Pictures Are Like Songs

Nope, it's not the greatest picture I've ever taken.  Of course, that depends on the viewer doesn't it?  What's that old saying?  "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

You know how old sayings get to be old?  (They're true. That's how.)

I've touched on this subject a number of times but on the off chance I get to influence some young mind, I'll keep poking at it.  You don't know what this picture means to me.  Just as I don't know what it means to you.  It could anything — from nothing to everything.   It could mark how beautiful the day was.  (I still remember how beautiful it was on the morning of September 11, 2001.  Clear as a bell.  Just like today.)  It could be something as mundane as marking  when the Sun goes behind Golan Heights.  It could be the last sunrise the guy standing beside me ever sees.   It could be the first sunrise a child ever remembers.

Pictures are like songs — you don't know what they mean to someone else.  You just make them, share them and hope they mean something.  To somebody.
