"Ancient Stars" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

I created this using GIMP 2.10.4.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

My working title for this was “Forgettable” but stars are never forgettable. So I changed the title to Ancient Stars, which is what this piece contains. It's not easy accepting the fact that oneself is forgettable, but one needs to face the truth. In most cases, but not all, direct blood relatives love each other no matter what, but that isn't true with strangers who become loved ones with each other as adults. There is no innate bond, to tie them together. Unlike Mute Swans, who mate for life, mankind does not. There are no soulmates. C'est la vie. In 100 years, it won't matter.

C'est La Vie - Emerson Lake and Palmer

Silence - Beethoven
