Hustlin' or Being?

It seems that everyone I meet is always “hustling.” I myself was part of this hustle and bustle for many years. Life hasn’t changed much. I had thought that with all the new technological advances, people would have more time to spend on other pursuits. But, much of what I read in books and see in the news and even stories on Medium are about goal setting, working harder and longer hours, productivity, and achieving success.

The three images in this collage with black frames caught my attention while I was waiting in line at my local bakery last week. They had never caught my attention before so I don’t know whether they are new or were always there. The image with the white frame is an acrylic painting that I myself did as a gift for my son many years ago. I had seen a Monet painting called “Garden at Sainte-Adresse” and wanted to try something like it. This is a scaled-down version. Putting the Canadian flag was entirely my idea. I did this because my son was away working in Mexico, and on his return to Canada, this painting was to be his birthday present. He is Canadian.
