Never a Still Life

This is a pear. It appears to be suspended in mid-air. Not on a table or in a fruit bowl. It just is: bathed in light, indifferent to its surroundings yet full of color and aliveness.

It’s very difficult for me to imagine or regard life, let alone to experience it, considering all its infinite and beautiful manifestations, as still.

Needless to say, life is always in motion, ever restless, ever changing and evolving.

It’s never a still life.
