n the canvas of life, a flat landscape would be pretty boring. It is the valleys and the mountains that help us to appreciate the flatlands. It is the dark that makes us appreciate the light, and the cold that makes us appreciate the warm. -Anne Copeland Many have expressed this sentiment in similar ways, but her phrasing spoke to me with its simplicity and the visual aspect of a canvas, imagining one's life as a painting.

Oh gosh, what a question! I think it would like like a Rothko, with each rectangle representing a period in life, thought, approach to life... but the GIANT rectangle would (hopefully) be at the bottom and represent evolving into the NOW. I don't know if that makes any sense at all?
