Umbrellas provide some shelter, and a finite area of relative stillness. But yet you are still out in the thick of things. Umbrellas do not negate the heat or prevent the next storm, but provide a small space of peace. Sit, take a breather. Like the wings of a bird over its hatchling.
These umbrella pieces are dedicated to CM & RD, who have provided for me on a countless number of occasions such moments shelter and peace.
