WORKS OF ART
Have you ever watched an artist paint? The canvas is blank at the start…but, eventually, by deftly adding colors…it becomes a work of art.
The artist begins with a pallet of colors…each color in a separate lake…when that artist takes one color and adds it to another we marvel at the new color those colors make.
And we realize when the painting is completed…something the artist is quick to explain…how there is no way two pieces of art can ever be the same.
Even if the artist tried to recreate that same picture…even if the artist painted slow…when the painting is completed…subtle differences would show.
But that is as it should be…from that blank canvas on which the artist starts…every painting completed is meant to be an original work of art.
I imagine the creator who paints our sky would also be quick to explain this is the reason why no two sunrises or sunsets will ever be the same.
And certainly that’s true…if you’ve ever watched them from the start…each sunrise and each sunset is an original work of art.
I imagine, like the sunrise, each human the artist paints is a blend of colors from the start…each one of us with our own subtle differences…each one of us an original work of art.
I can’t imagine the artist when deciding what colors in humans to create…had any inclination one color would dominate.
But that is what has happened over the years…when we humans view each other certain colors cause a fuss…but that is not the artist’s fault…the blame here lies with us…
And will continue to lie with us…and continue to tear us apart
until we view each other as the artist has intended…
as a beautiful blend of colors…
as original works of art.
