All the chairs on the stage were black, except for one. The pastel colors painted on the child’s white seat had caught my attention before the recital began. I wondered why this one chair was different. Once the cellists came on stage, I had my answer. A young girl, perhaps four-years-old, sat down matter-of-factly in the fancy chair, picked up her instrument and bow, and played as practiced.
“The Young Cellist’s Chair” is my Photo of the Week.
Writer, marketer, columnist, author, photographer, birder, walker, hiker, husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, township trustee, converted Anabaptist, community activist, my life is crammed with all things people and nature and wonder. My late father gave me this penchant for giving and getting the most out of life, my late mother the courtesy, kindness, and creativity to see the joy in life. They both taught me to cherish the people I am with. I try and fail and try again.

No. This was at a recital of cellists and violins. Maren is learning to play the violin. I just was intrigued with this chair since it stood out from all the others. When the young girl took her seat, the setting just hit home with me.
Thanks for asking.
