Closure

Closure. 20 inches x 10 inches. Acrylic on canvas. 2007.

I had been hesitating about running the marathon for 12 years. 2007 was when I decided to commit. It such a wonderful feeling to have allowed a personally significant undertaking to come to pass. This sense of closure is like a meeting of my different selves - the Fearful One and the Courageous One. Life presents this divide over and over again. In having run the race of my life, I am just that little bit stronger and wiser in choosing the better part.
