It cracks me up to see the stork on the lawn of a funeral home and I assumed it had visited someone who worked at the funeral home. It certainly speaks to the profound truth of our existence and it made me smile whereas I usually look away from dreary things like funeral homes the same way I try to avoid looking at road kill.
The clever juxtaposition of the obvious bookend effect reminded me of the Greek alphabet and the mention of Alpha and Omega when used as a phrase meaning the beginning and the end, because I have another interesting, related photo in that folder which I call "unique".
We encountered this sight in a restaurant and it too, spoke to me of the universal truth that we tend to come full circle and return from whence we came. As I watch someone I know being cared for in her nineties by the daughter that she raised, it of course takes me to thoughts of my own mortality. On the Greek alphabet, I suppose I fall somewhere in the downhill side around Rho or Sigma. I hope I'm not further down that alphabet than I think.
