Forgotten Statues

Tom Ball

    Perhaps one could envision life as a journey in which no one finishes; at some point everyone stops. All movement along the journey changes one until one can’t change any more.
    If the whole thing were a sculpture everyone would appear as a statue, frozen in time at the point where they stopped trying to adventure. Some people live on many years after they are frozen, but this is just killing time.
    And the journey itself would appear in sculpture as a four dimensional massive matrix. But no matter how deep or far you go from the start, your frozen statue looks much the same as anyone else’s.
    Some of the sculptures though show people in contortions on the ground, others are in glorious poses like the statue of liberty. Still others show no emotion as if their journey had led nowhere.
    Most people pretend that the journey to nowhere doesn’t exist and they tell themselves they are special even though they aren’t.
    But that’s how I see it.
