The Reincarnation of Leonard Birdstein

Photo by Ludovic Péron 
























He’d always believed he’d lived another life before this one. But no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t remember what it was.

He was pretty sure it had something to do with music, though. How else to explain how moved he was every time he heard the opening notes of West Side Story?

Much music is conducted on birdish wings. Nice 55, PK!

This is freaking hilarious!

Titanium said...

Awesome. You managed to insert an entire story into these words-on-wings!

Haha - love it! And he really does look like he's conducting!

Doctor FTSE said...

Good one. I agree with Mary. He's conducting Camille Saint-Saens' "The Swan."
Or maybe the Birdy Song

At last a reasonable explanation for a woman who loves to dance, but has no moves. My lives are not integrated :).
