Our purple celebration continues from this violet post with these tulips – one of the emblematic flowers of May. This one come with a song, a song that should run over the end credits of our latest episode, which involves changes and shifts in houses and homes and our steady traipse toward older age. Life advances, no matter how much we may want to slow its irrevocable cadence forward.
It’s a good song for the last full month of spring, and the color of these tulips may be a harbinger for the coming summer (there’s also a golden orange hue that Gloria Swanson wore in a photo shoot that I will be using as another inspiration color for the season of the sun). These trifling concerns distract from the heaviness that has engulfed us for the last few years.
So let us find joy in the little things – the tulips, the purple, the song – and the Saturday at hand.
