We live a series of decisions. By definition. Whether we attend to them, or not. Majestic, perilous, pivotal, and nearly irrelevant. We are the sum of our parts - when we we agonize, and when we decide without a flinch.
I choose to consider the challenging, the fleeting, and the vanilla. A blog to frame decisions - considering, pondering, concluding, rethinking, reveling, living.

...or what's a heaven for?

If I could buy this print, I would, but so far it's only available at the above URL.
i know the title continues a quote from robert browning's "andrea del sarto," but if i look at the title & pic with no reference to the poem, i would assume 2 things almost simultaneously: 1) "heaven" represents the savior/saving of... 2) "heaven" represents hope - which is basically the same. and in that, they say to me: esa eynai...me'ayin yavo ezri. 3) a third reading, coming off of the poem: what's the point of having a reach to begin with if you never get to grasp...as the not-grasping leaves you like the girl in the picture? if there is nothing to reach for, there is no point to anything...i just am never reaching for heaven...
what i like about the pic is that as despondently fallen as she is, she is in the perfect stance to take flight as soon as re-animated/motivated-- you can see exactly how she will rise
