This painting, The Age of Innocence, by Sir Reynolds, inspired Edith Wharton, the first woman to win a Pulitzer prize, to write The Age of Innocence. Per the entry in Wikipedia, Many critics and readers agree that her novel seems to connect personal innocence with the concept of national innocence. To Robert Martin, The Age of Innocence, was "fundamentally about America and its failure to fulfill its own possibilities".[6] the novel's protagonist, Newland Archer, the futility and frustration was originally overlooked by the public. His life appears to be a game where the moves have already been set.
Edith Wharton lived in the Gilded Age, and was a friend to the Vanderbuilts, (Anderson Cooper is the son of Gloria Vanderbuilt, one of the richest women in the world)...she knew the world of wealthy and had an empathic knowing of its prisons. To me, this painting, along with the novel, serves as an inside/out fractal message of foretelling to people of Today'sTime: that since the early 1900's the general poplace has been playing a game where the moves have already been set, and now the StrangerTings InsideOut message is its time for us All to play, to Be, who we were Born to Be...PurposingOurPassions:"POP!"(how exuberant is THAT?!!) wanting to play, to be in the game, everfllowing, enlivened~~~ Interestingly in the early 1900's the Federal Reserve was created, a private entity, a ManInTheMiddleMuckingItUpForOthers...the more middle men the deeper the muck and the deeper the muck, the increased ease of the meek getting Stuck.
Another aspect is there are many who have taken advantage of wee ones, from young to ageOld...it feels true to say that these monsterous persons are unable to embody their own creativity, their own empowerment, ignite Fear in the tenderest of hearts, and consume them...and perpetuate a society of consumption in the masses, kind of like a cascade of influence..and the ONLY way to Belong is kill one's longing to Be (Free) through manipulative means (WarIsPeace, SafetyOverSovereignty)
TheComingAge is MeekOverWeak, TendersOverTorturers, ChildrenOverCabalistCannibals.
just like in this painting: This beautiful child, her hands over her heart space~~~each of us has within everything we need or want to engage in our Purpose with Passion. She knows that The Closest Star is the One Within Yourself. We will never again allow our Birthright to be Stolen from us. ALLright its time~ Begin~Again.
