Better In Two Years

What is the pace of change?

Sometimes change occurs in a single moment. A letter arrives. You meet someone. News is shared.

Change also unfolds in a segment of time, like a season. Spring is different than winter. 

And sometimes change can take years, as little as one or two.

Over the weekend I was able to study two paintings that Mark Rothko rendered. One was in 1948, the other in 1950. In 1948 you could see that Rothko’s style of rectangular color fields was slowly beginning to emerge as there were a few smaller, blurry, rectangular shapes on the canvas. But by 1950 the idea he’d been exploring came forward fully in his mind and brush and the Rothko style we know today was born.

Is there a Rothko idea in your life waiting to come forward? How might your life completely change for the better in two years?
