words shouldn’t ‘say’, they should ‘do’.   paintings too.   this does.

 
 
 
          what kind of flowers?

imagine this woman, she paints.   she paints a sunny Sun, all yellow
and bright.   that’s a lot of appeal, big and yellow and bright.

Sun says Sun’s tale.   she is doing what she was asked to do.
generous, that’s a word we use.   more than a curiosity.

then she paints color.   real color.   no wait, they’re flowers.
I’m not so interested now.   I am something else.
          I am colored Light.   I arrive, who I’m supposed to be.

and now I know, generosity.   these flowers,
these best I render back to you.   like a mirror.     because
 
 
          that’s the kind of flowers these are

 
 
 
 
 
part two of two

if you don’t have to be some certain-flavor-of-smart
then you’re free to see the simplicity of generosity.

                  I love what Bridgette does with paint.   there is more than a brush.
                  used with her kind and generous permission.   mine is gratitude.

                  please click to expand, a couple times.   it’s big!
 
 
as the Dalai Lama might say, so simple and pure you might mistake it for a pebble in your shoe.
