Musical Chairs

Two chairs, empty, before the world. The photo does not show, but around them anxious people dance in circles, waiting for the music to stop. When this happens, only two people will sit. Side by side, they will see the sun rise and set, share days and nights and what else the future may bring, leaving behind those who did not find an empty chair when the music stopped…

Such is life. A lucky few sat in good time in fulfilling lives they never wanted to leave. Many remained seated, afraid to take a chance after a wrong choice. Others, finally, stumbling along the world, remain in pursuit of that special someone, to sit and lie down with, and belong to, before the music stops and it is too late.

There are no empty seats for every two lonely people who wander in the quest for love. There are only chairs for those who find it.

Search then, with all the radiant intensity of those determined to yet one day share a life.

    Trop paresseuse pour lire l’anglais ce soir, félicitation pour ton initiative.
    J’aime beaucoup l’image du Parc de Rio qui semble magique, et celle des deux chaises, car j’adorerai me trouver assise dans cette sorte de paysage avec, à mes côté un homme de bonne compagnie !
