My artwork and my photography is held in a number of private collections throughout the world. I am an amateur radio operator, I play several musical instruments, my favorite being the piano, and finally, my wife and I own two gorgeous convertibles that are more than ready for participation in all the local car shows. I write and have published poetry, articles, essays and novels. That said, my interests are rather wide-ranging. I have been interested in photography all my life, but I didn't really discover the art world and become an avid participant until about ten or twelve years ago. Some would likely call me a late bloomer because both of my degrees didn't come along until I was well into my forties and fifties. Most of those years were spent in the petroleum and banking industries. By profession, for over forty years I was at one time or another, an accountant, a CFO, and a financial analyst prior to my early retirement in 2009. I previously also completed graduate work in Ethics and Conflict Resolution at Southern Methodist University. I hold two degrees from a New York University one of them a Masters degree. I was born and raised in the Dallas, Texas area and I live in Mesquite, Texas, a large suburb of the Dallas/Ft. I have been on this planet for quite awhile some seventy-odd years, in fact.
Those are also two sides of us, two parts that allow us to be romantic and realistic at the same time.My artwork, I believe, is just part of an endless learning process that moves me one more step toward successfully rendering my own unique and personal vision of the world. But there is no reason to regret the time when you loved. Well something’s lost, but something’s gainedĪfter all, this is the real meaning of the lyrics inside Both Sides Now: love can be a vast illusion, and when things get real, you may discover the bitter side of it. They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed People will look at us differently when things change, and there is nothing we can do about it. She’s not regretting that part of her: her romantic side leads her sometimes, entrusting herself to love, and that’s ok.
In the last part of the song, Joni thinks again about when she was expressing love proudly. What if you cared about the person you loved? Well, keep it for yourself. Like fans leave the concerts after the show is over. The show’s metaphor relates to her life as a music artist, of course, but it’s about love relationships: you spend a certain amount of time with a person, then you break up, and each part goes in its direction. The disillusionment comes when you realize that people leave.
She looked at love that way, as she says.
#Feather canyons everywhere full
Joni mentions, “Moons, Junes, and Ferris wheels,” implying the first, innocent vision of love we all have, which can be full of chichés. The second part of the song refers to love explicitly. I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now The chorus expresses a sharp thought about how often Joni has watched clouds from all perspectives nevertheless, she’s unable to understand them fully. Then you grow up, you gain more experience, and you can see clouds in another way, as dark presences that block the sunlight, representing an obstacle to your life, to your joy. Clouds can provide optical illusions, and we may tend to see something inside them and project what’s inside us, precisely as it can happen with love. She uses the clouds as a metaphor for how things can look different while you get more mature about them. With these lines, Joni Mitchell immediately presents the two sides, the two ways you can see everything in life. The first lines of the song are elegant and full of poetry: The singer uses poetic lines to describe the romantic way of seeing things and the realistic way that comes after, when you realize that everything has a darker side. Both Sides Now: inside the lyrics and their meaningīoth Sides Now by Joni Mitchell is about the disillusionment of love.
