hard first step

Titled "Out of Reach," this installation really spoke to me. 

It's part of this year's campus-centric Art Prize and the student creators indicate that it's a representation of accessibility issues in our world. 

How many things are impossible because that first step is so insurmountable...

And then looks like procrastination, intractability, or delinquency...

It's a good reminder that I am an elder in this world and can reach out when people don't show up. (Just in case it's because they can't show up.)

Also it seemed so faraway when we postponed the visit in August, but now SD is here! SD is here! SD is here!

Enjoy your time together!!!
The first step is always so hard. I'm finding that in my own life!

That reminds me of the brief period during summer 2020 when North was in a wheelchair and that first step was often an obstacle.

And, of course, it makes a good metaphor in other situations.
