Picture!!

Something about this gets my attention. I can't quite figure out what it means to me.
Its almost like I feel it is saying, "Life on its own" or a quote from Beyonce's song-Single Ladies "...I'm doing my own little thing..."

Look at it though. These plants and other life, are growing on an old pillar, a pillar that once used to be the bridge we used to cross the Dan River. When the new bridge was built, those pillars were retired and never again used. It is kinda like, the pillar is still in use and never died. Why the pillars were not tore down is beyond me, but I love the scene here. Its amazing how its out there in the open with not support yet still living and continuing to grow. It also makes me think back to when I read about Oprah Winfrey's life story. Oprah started out as a girl in streets, poor as dirt, and now the wealthiest woman in the world. Oprah proved that even if have nothing, you can still be whatever you want.

This picture has so many meanings to me.

What does it mean to you?
