Understanding
This is part of my clendar Virtues
Understanding
Understanding is using your mind to think clearly, paying careful attention to see the meaning of things. An understanding mind gives you insights and wonderful ideas. An understanding heart gives you empathy and compassion for others. Understanding is the power to think and learn and also to care.
I wondered thru this Garden.
Upon a chance, next to the entrance,
I found a creature so different,
a creature so small and strange.
I thought it must be, unlike me, insignificant.
Then I saw it rising into the air,
Like my shadow I began to chase.
As it passed through the garden it
touched each face bringing a radiance.
Then I understood I too shared this gift
and we were not so different.

Just wonderful- your painting (beautiful- love the expression on the puppy’s face), your poem and your great commentary on “understandiong.” Your work is not only excellent, but really inspiring to me.
Hal Smith replied
Linda to inspire someone that when I see their work I am inspired is the greatest of compliments, thank you
