Although tulips are not a personal favorite of mine, they were among the most beautiful thing I had ever seen the FIRST TIME I was ever forced to stay indoors, and at last got out.
I took this picture among others on my first day outdoors since February 2017... that year I suffered a major injury and went from being an active young person in my community to weeks spent either in bed or a wheelchair.
But at last I got out, and the picture above was so striking I kept it for a book project I had started before my injury ... it's on the page for the return of Spring in my first fictional publication: Seasons Siblings Timeshare Tiff, which I would complete during all the time I still had to stay indoors in 2017 and have on sale on Amazon by December of that year.
I still have a spot in my heart for tulips, and it came back to mind because of the weeks and weeks that I have been more or less confined in this spring of 2020 ... major injury prepared me to be able to deal with the present distress a little better, including taking what I can and turning it into beauty for others!
Enjoy this video, featuring "Tulip Fields," which I recorded here on my home piano while on shelter in place this spring!
