Not a curve in sight London, ON August 2018 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
I found this particularly fetching tone during a walkabout that took me behind an otherwise unassuming strip mall. I was in between appointments, and at the time I thought the clean lines of the drawn-with-a-ruler architecture offset nicely against the late-afternoon blue sky.
Or something. I guess I just liked it.
Come to think of it, I like a lot of things like it. Ordinary things in unassuming places. Everyday moments that never seem to attract our attention.
But part of me thinks they should. That we should maybe spend a little more time looking for them.
Because while everyone’s pursuing the obvious things, the non-obvious things live just as vibrantly in the shadows. And shadows happen every day, not just today.
There won’t be an eclipse tomorrow. But there will be lots of ordinary things and moments.
You know where I’ll be.
