metaphorically speaking

metaphorically speaking

i keep staring at this photo. it feels significant–symbolic somehow.  i keep trying to decide: is this a metaphor for marriage–two people standing close together, supporting one another through life and creating a loose scaffolding of entanglements in the process? or is it a metaphor for raising children–tender young charges reaching skyward on their own path of self-actualization while using the love and strength of their parents as support? i’m curious, what was your first thought on seeing this photo?

over-wintered cattails with vine

    Hello – It is not the cattails that first caught my attention – it is the vine. My first thought was always rising. No matter how good or how bad circumstances get in our individual lives – we are Always Rising.

      Always rising! I love it.
