AN ART PIECE
HONEYMOON COUPLE
FRIENDS, I've chosen this art piece to present before you as my entry for this beautiful meme, for a reason. One it was a gift to me by our daughter. She visited Thailand some time back and brought this charmingly sculpted item. Such art pieces are in great demand there, by tourists as mementos of their visit.
Here are some observations on the go:
This love lorn couple in the first flush of love, deeply engrossed in the passionate presence of each other and oblivious of the world around, led me to ink certain assertions. These are cliches no doubt but certainly don't deter me from articulating what stirs my mind at the moment. Why this paradox keeps puzzling us, the sentient beings that the much awaited dream of honeymoon period evaporates so fast confronted with the reality of real living?
Perhaps the idyllic charm of Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived before eating that forbidden fruit,
confirms in a way, the universal truth that two individuals when they become man and wife are besieged with the overwhelming struggle of living itself, after a short period of runway romance. That short time, luckily, becomes a cherished memory to live life by. Looks like, nature willed it that way to perpetuate the human race.
In fact,(I think) lasting romance and value of companionship start as late as in one's fifties!
Friends, welcome here as always!
