Bloom and The Bees Appear

This piece started as a realistic freeze-frame from The Notebook - Noah and Allie dancing in the street - with the quote:

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever."

It was a cute idea, but it wasn't what this piece was meant to be.

This piece is the expression of choosing to step into love and the fullness of life - now, right where you're at. Not waiting for your Noah or Allie or dream or permission or recognition. Every moment is a gift - but we have to be HERE to receive it.

Stop waiting for life to happen to live it. Bloom right here, right now.
