Those who follow this blog know about two of my friends here, Carla and Valya (follow these links to read my Proust interviews with them). Valya modeled for me in June and helped me follow my art in a new direction. Carla is a long time friend of this blog.
The coincidence - Carla's old alias was UL or Unbearable Lightness which comes from one of her favorite books, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. She used this alias for years at her blog, What We Saw Today. This morning, Valya published a post with the title Unbearable Lightness of Being along with a photo of her posing in an amazing yoga stretch position that communicates strength, flexibility, and grace all in one.
As a part time scientist, I believe in "pure coincidence" as well as the opposite of it. For now though, I like seeing two parts of my life intersect, however briefly and potentially coincidentally.
Beautifully written, Karl. And I am off to see Valya's post!
ReplyDeleteI think that last sentence sums it up perfectly.
