Another in my series of view from windows I’ve known. This one is a loose interpretation of the view from my bedroom window in Grosse Pointe Michigan. It was a small room with a view at the roof of the house next door and and an alley beyond. The house was a busy one, but since I was the only girl, I had my own room and spent a fair amount of time there. Just as I was planning this one, I learned that a lovely woman I knew as a child had passed away. She was always very kind to me and always used to tell me that I didn’t have to try to chase my future or happiness, I could just look out my window and I would see it coming to find me. I think it was a way to reassure a kind of socially timid girl, but I did turn away from the window, leave the room, and chase my future, and it’s turning out great.
