A reminder

Red Disk

The faint stripes one can guess in the back of the above painting can symbolize the promising comfort and balance we all expect to come with money, work, health, happiness, love, success, status. However, can one truly expect life to be as simple as these straight lines?

Needless to say, it is more sinuous. More often than not, it is troublesome, fuzzy, scary, banged up, hazy, but also astonishing.

Yet, we all look forward to enjoying an easy life and we expect it to be as candid as a line. In order to avoid bad surprises, maybe one should be cautioned to regard one's own dreams through the prism of the above blurry disk. The means to our goals may not be as obvious as we pictured, and this painting can be used as a reminder.
