SOAR
A TIME TO REFLECT A TIME TO 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
A GIFT FOR GRADUATES OR TO CELEBRATE SPECIAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS…TO ENCOURAGE SUPPORT AND ACKNOWLEDGE INDIVIDUAL STRENGTH.
HEIGHT: 13CM MATERIAL: RESIN (DUST WITH SOFT CLOTH OR SOFT BRUSH. AVOID WATER OR CLEANING SOLVENTS)
