This sweet window picture at 38 George Street is not Gene Kelly (though perhaps inspired by the famous film). It's a child enjoying twirling an umbrella in the rain. Its creators believe that life isn't always about waiting for the storm to pass. It's learning to dance in the rain - to enjoy life and see it as a child sees it, full of colour. It's an attitude we could probably all do with adopting a bit more, as the Covid pandemic rumbles on and life seems even further away from 'getting back to normal' than it did a month or two ago.
At 44 Ada Street, there is another movie-inspired window: Miracle on 34th Street. I don't think I've seen that film - maybe I should seek it out? Whatever the film is like, the window is a classic of its genre, beautifully crafted and full of impact. Like the window above, its message seems to be 'Never mind what's going on out there in the big, wide world, let's just enjoy Christmas - and carry that spirit out into life in general.' I agree with that.
And it looks as though we might have plenty of rain to sing in during the next few days.
ReplyDeleteHope that you have an enjoyable Christmas.
How lovely, what a nice thought. I'm certainly among those adapting to circumstances to find the joy it it. Merry Christmas!
