THE GIFT PAINTING HAS GIVEN ME

2/15/2014

Thus has been the gift of painting
Which has stopped me short in my tracks time and again
To caress the Universe with my eyes
Before I apply paint to brushes
To travel slowly with my gaze
Over the form of the subject
And I am surprised by what I hadn't seen 
Eventho I had looked at something
A gazillion times times in passing

The nuances and complexities
The intricacies and hidden secrets
All slowly unveiling
As I allow myself 
To drop everything else
To be held ransom for a while
To ponder the realm of beauteous reality
That had not been accessible
When I had just rushed by

Sometimes I end up with my soul aching
Wondering why I had missed so much 
Hurrying about dealing with cares of the world
Now will I ever have enough time  to catch up ....
To rehydrate and renourish my soul again

Not that what I was busy with before
Looking after family and whatnot
Was not important
For all those past experiences
Only make me soak up the new with more gusto...

As I share my paintings with you
Which by the way, I so appreciate when you take time to look
I hope you too catch a glimpse of the world I am in
That you be transported 
Even if it's just for a moment 
From the hub-bub of your day

To a moment of serendipity
A moment of glee and wonder
A moment in the NOW and therefore a reconnection with your own beautiful soul
