Center Stage



In this scene, there is a primary focus to one's attention. Here, the attention is on the two small evergreen trees with the great crescent moon as a backdrop. They appear perfectly shaped -- pointing upward -- almost geometric in form. Yet, apart from the "plain" geometry of shapes in this and other scenes, there appears to be a message. And if these little trees (appearing as one) could speak, they might be saying. "Here we are. Notice us. See how well we fit into the landscape. Doesn't the moon look nice with us here tonight? Don't we look nice with it? This is a very comfortable spot for us. It is very quiet here. The lighting is just right. We feel like we are on stage. Are we?" And as we look out into this scene, we may wonder some things about our own performance in life. Have we been here before? Are we trying to be? Are we not? Is this important? What will our role be if it is? Will we be quiet performers with a presence or will be loud and agressive actors with less of one? These are some things we can think about as we look into nature's amphitheater at center stage. There is a plan for us if we follow our dream well.
