A parable in my life.
RePainting

I had a beautiful impressionist work; a beautiful lady in lace, with a parasol in a middle of a glowing field. Her fair skin had a beautiful smile with dimples and her graceful hand held a robin that was singing. Just a hint of a gentle wind, blowing a swirl in all of it variegated splendor of colour. I was complimented by everyone but you. The consummate artist you proclaimed to be, she now sat as a hooded robed figure, with the sunken eyes of a decomposing skull. The robin was resting dead in her hand; squeezed, the dried blood turned a dingy brown. It looked like the aftermath of a forest fire, a mud pit of a path with only a rising from it for a pedestal. Five minutes and done. You exclaimed! "That is how it should have been done, dead from the start! Your foolish endeavors that enter into your heart! You're a nice guy where did it get you! I won't be satisfied, until you're like me all the way through. Disgraced, though I am, it turns out you were the only one who enjoys this reworked painting. Broken, I left and sulked, prayed and bulked. Weary, lonely and broke wondering if I should be tying up a rope Only God, is the only one that pushes me, or puts his hand on my shoulder to show me what I should see. I will take this canvas away from you, with my labors not affected by what you do. I will restore it, if I have to crush my own pigments from stone and use the plasma from my blood for a vehicle, for a beautiful new and brighter painting for my home. I should have thought more thoroughly before trusting a man with cataracts. Not in your company, will this more beautiful and sparkling version be created. I never paint my treasures for myself but for someone beautiful so that, the one I fear the most, "God," will receive pleasure out of my undertakings. Your paintings of life are undertakings only for yourself. |
Thank you jdbjd123 for the use of your painting. I am using this to represent a transition of a painting going back into color.
This may be a bit confusing, but it is about a business man. My father was involved in politics and I met two kinds. The first identified that as businessmen and love telling people of the weight they through around. Deals mad, profits gained. My father and myself hosted a fundraiser and one of these men walked around and told everybody that he brought all of these people, the success of this fundraiser was because of him. he received the extra tickets because other businessmen told me they wanted them and decided that they should be given, free of the agreed upon charge. I politely followed him and when he was done patting himself on the back, I introduced myself as a host and explained to everyone that he received those tickets paid for by the hosts. I despise liars and will not let my father suffer an injustice. The people are wholeheartedly disingenuous and enjoy throwing around the weight the perceive they have.
I met another type of business man and I will tell you how I know them, they introduced themselves as Bob, Bill, Joe, etc. I was always amazed that they liked talking to me and had only words of encouragement. I found out who they were by someone else walking up to me and saying, "Oh my God! That was so and so, do you know who he is? They would proceed to tell me and they were multi-millionaires and very successful in their business endeavors. In a way I resented this as these businessmen had the stories that I would have love to have heard. Being in this fine company, maybe they could have had a couple suggestions or a little support to help my endeavors out. I tracked them and found a certain benevolence and character that they had. These are the people that set the example that I try to follow, these people always enjoy life and what they have, as well what it can offer irrespective of wealth. I walked up and asked them what they saw in me and they said that they enjoyed my spirit or I had done things that they always wanted to do, but were either too afraid or it didn't cross their mind when they could have done it. These people are successful because of the uniqueness and also enjoy that various aspects found in other people.
With the former I describe, it is like surrendering to the Nazi's, "Tell them, 'Nuts!'"
