Three Muses challenge this week is "Say it with Music." Where to start? Who doesn't love music? I'm told there are benighted souls who seldom listen to music; how do they survive??
Well, after some thought I decided to make a tribute to Edith Piaf, the "Little Sparrow." A woman of consuming talent, consumed in turn by her passion for the lives and loves described in her art. Song lyrics of love and loss, recreated as the narrative of her life. Reality impinged on her world in the form of brutal disabilities, alcoholism, drug addiction, grief and pain on a monumental scale. Yet, a true artist, she kept singing--and loving.
She was a phenomena, an incarnate Act of the Goddess. There will never be another like her.
Beautiful art and touching tribute to Edith Piaf. Thanks for sharing. We're glad you joined us this week!
