Soar

The Gesture Of The Figure And The Bird Communicates Forward Movement… Being Uplifted, Moving Onward; A Release Of Hopes, Dreams And Spirit; Of New Beginnings And Of Endings; In Celebration Of A Life… Or In Anticipation Of A Life Together. This Piece Could Be A Way To Express Best Wishes To Someone Who Is Taking A New Path In Life; On A Road To Recovery From Illness Or Toward Self-Improvement… A Hopeful Symbol Of Peace For Military Families Awaiting The Return Of Their Solders… An Expression Of Sympathy To Someone Who Has Lost A Loved One. The Sentiment Refers To The Song Turn, Turn, Turn, Written By Pete Seeger In 1959, Adapted From The Book Of Ecclesiastes. In The Song, There’S A Contrast In Each Example…‘A Time To Be Born/Die, Plant/Reap, Laugh/Weep’ And So On. I Like The Lyrical, Repetitive Nature Of The Phrasing. At Significant Milestones, We Often Pause And Reflect Before Moving Forward, So ‘A Time To Reflect, A Time To Soar’ Seemed Like A Nice Expression For This Piece. —Susan Lordi
