last day first day
It is a rare sunny morning in Seattle’s winter, and I biked the three blocks to take a picture I’ve been wanting to take for a while now: Chief Seattle illuminated by sunlight. I took two pictures, and I like them both for different reasons. The business in the background on the left image announces “Immigration & Citizenship Law”, the tracks behind are the monorail; the image on the right is with the space needle in the background.
A lot of people are expressing sadness that the month is over. It has indeed been an incredibly exhilarating experience. But I slowly came to realize the following over the last days:
The thing is actually just training wheels for truly living and creating and noticing and sharing. That is why it has to end today!
Thanks everyone!

I really like the Chief Sealth that has the Space Needle behind it, because he looks like he’s actually communicating with something off in the distance behind the viewer/photographer, and because it shows a real Seattle ‘blue’ day (that it has this sort of slate blue quality to it, not quite a clear day).
But I’m really commenting because I love your message about the end of t-a-d. I discovered this some time during the 2nd week of February and have been religiously checking it to catch all of the fascinating updates from everyone. It has provoked me into doing much more than I would have otherwise and to define it as a springboard for more really resonates for me.
The art of ending, I agree. Soon the sakura season comes to our city. To me that is what the beauty of the notion ‘nothing lasts forever.’ Since it doesn’t last long, we see the pink flowers more beautifully. It represents life itself, doesn’t it?
