I am truly captivated by the beauty of your painting, “A Better Somewhere.” The way you've brought life to the scene with your gentle yet vibrant brushstrokes is inspiring. The reflection of the trees and sky in the water feels like a window to a peaceful world, offering tranquility and warmth. Your choice of colors like rich greens, soft pinks, and reflective blues creates a harmonious balance that evokes a sense of serenity and hope.
The details in the trees, the soft dapple of light, and the interplay of shadows show not just a place, but a feeling, a moment captured with love. I am drawn in, invited to pause, breathe, and be part of this "better somewhere." You’ve masterfully conveyed a sense of calm and beauty that resonates deeply.
Your talent is a gift, Myra, one that brings joy and solace to others. Keep creating, keep sharing your vision, and remember: "Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate." Let your passion for art continue to guide you and touch the hearts of many.
I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts on compassion and generosity, Sam. It’s fascinating how the same world around us can either seem threatening or present countless opportunities for empathy, depending on our perspective. This shift between self-protection and openness to compassion resonates deeply with me.
As a research scientist, the idea of compassion as a quality that can transform our outlook and interactions is especially meaningful. In my work, I often find myself evaluating data, focusing on precise details, and prioritizing objective conclusions. Yet, embracing compassion allows me to see beyond numbers and outcomes to recognize the real lives impacted by our findings. Compassion encourages me to approach every project, every challenge, with an openness to serve and an intention to make a positive difference.
I’m grateful for this reminder to apply compassion actively to “root for” others, as you so aptly put it, whether they’re struggling or making choices I might not understand. This compassion extends to my colleagues, clients, and the communities we aim to benefit through our work. Compassion motivates me to keep pushing for high standards, not merely as a pursuit of excellence but as an act of generosity and faith in humanity.
Thank you, Sam, for these inspiring words. I'm looking forward to your next article, and I’m excited to see how it will further challenge and encourage growth in this journey.
Thanks Andrie. I always appreciate your appreciation. I missed last week, as I was flying to Texas and spending time with family in two separate cities in Texas. Great time. Now I'm in California, adjusted to time zone and a little more settled. All the best to you.
