For Myra Alibrando:

Myra, I am deeply moved by your painting "Unending Faithfulness." The vivid play of colors draws me into a serene landscape that radiates peace and vitality. The delicate blending of soft pastels captures the essence of a bright morning sun rising above the misty mountains, symbolizing hope and renewal. The gradients of blues and greens create a stunning contrast with the vibrant reds and oranges of the field below, portraying a lively meadow teeming with flowers.

I can sense the patience and grace in each stroke, which reflects the title perfectly, a testament to enduring faithfulness, both of nature’s cycles and the human spirit. The way the sunlight gently kisses the fields speaks of warmth and continuity, reminding me that beauty often arises from simplicity and consistency. The composition invites viewers like me to pause and reflect, offering a moment of peace and introspection.

Your art breathes life into the canvas and conveys a sense of unwavering serenity that will undoubtedly inspire many. Please continue to share your gift with the world, as each piece is a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us.

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Edgar Degas. Keep painting the world with your light, Myra.

Hi Doc Andrei! Thank U for your encouraging comments. I started painting after a surgery. I guess my soul and spirit desired it after watching a video of a painter in YouTube. I told to myself that I can do it too and it might help me recover fast. That was December 2021 before Christmas. So I told Sam that I want painting supplies for Christmas which I received. True enough I recovered fast and painted painting after paintings. I gave some away to friends who likes it. I am very encouraged by how U elaborately understand and explain my paintings. Not just to look at it, but to feel what I feel while doing it. Thanks again! 😄😄😄👍👍👍

I agree with the perspective shared in the article Outrageous. Unbelievable. Wonderful Reality. The author beautifully highlights the intricacies of life and the wonders of our existence. It’s awe-inspiring to consider that, despite all of humanity’s scientific advancements, we are still surrounded by a profound mystery that points toward a higher level of intelligence or purpose. The countless complex processes taking place within our bodies, like the cooperation of trillions of cells and the sophisticated design of the natural world, are indeed beyond human replication. Such reflections provoke a deeper appreciation for the intelligence behind life’s origin and development.

As a research scientist, I often focus on analyzing, deciphering, and understanding the mechanics of life at the micro-level. This article serves as a reminder that there is always something greater than the data I gather or the theories I form. My work involves unraveling complex biological systems, yet no matter how much I learn, the full picture often remains elusive. The article encourages me to approach each experiment, each hypothesis, with a spirit of curiosity and humility, acknowledging that there’s a vast ocean of knowledge still unknown.

This realization propels me to be more open-minded in my research, not just looking for answers within conventional frameworks but also considering possibilities that might transcend current scientific paradigms. It also challenges me to recognize the role of faith and wonder in science, a faith that our pursuit of knowledge is meaningful and that each discovery is part of a larger design.

I’m sincerely grateful to Sam for this thought-provoking piece. It reignites my passion to dig deeper and fuels my excitement for the next article. Thank you, Sam, for reminding us that research is not just about uncovering facts but also about appreciating the awe-inspiring reality of life.

Looking forward to more inspiring reflections.
