Lets see things as they are!

Four men were playing a round of golf together. A Fairly regular event and the way the conversation went was also fairly standard.

After a few holes, one of the players complained that the golf course had far too many hills, "Can they not do something about them he asked?"

Two holes later another of the players protested. " The bunkers on this course are way far too deep."

Very soon after this, the third of the foursome complained, "The only thing wrong with this course is the holes we have to putt into they are far too small."

The fourth player looked at them and said, "Be grateful we are on the right side of the grass."  Meaning they could be at least six foot under the golf course and playing no golf.

When you admire a painting do not look too closely at the paint.

When you meet an artist do not look too closely at the brushes.

If you really wish to find the meaning and purpose of life you waste time if you spend all your life looking at the small things of life. To fully appreciate the beauty of a painting you do not look at the brushstroke of the paint.

Why seek the genius of an artist by looking at the brushes the artist uses? It is the mind and thinking of the artist where the real beauty lies.

If you are seeking the meaning and the beauty of the universe you have to look beyond the physics, the mechanics and the forces of nature. You have to try and experience the essence of the moment.

Too often we become mesmerised by life's details that we cannot comprehend the whole.

The essence of life will never be known to the human as long as he seeks to observe like somebody outside of it.

The true beauty of nature and the essentials of life can only ever be experienced by fully becoming at one with nature.  Going with the flow and seeing life as more than the moment.

Today's painting was my morning walk, dark ominous clouds that later led to a thunderstorm. But a few moments later the sun and warmth came through and the flowers opened.

To appreciate the artist forget the brushes.

It is never the little niggles that measure your life but the overall beauty of the day.

Have a marvellous day my friends. Behind the storms lies beauty.
