Most of us

Wanting something can make us do things we should never do if we aren't careful.

I took an oil painting class many years ago. My teacher was trained at the Sorbonne and was an excellent artist, but the thing she did for me that I value the most was teaching me to see colors.

Not just blue, green red, but cornflower blue, azure blue, cerulean blue, dusty blue, blue green and on and on and on. Colors, like life, have so many shades.

There is a depth caused by the pigment and the medium, the artist who uses it and the light it is seen by. No two people ever really see it the same way. They may see it close enough to name it, but there is no way for expressing the feelings it brings, the nuances it shivers up our spines, the ecstasy, or despair it brews in our souls.

Most things in life are very similar.

We connect, but we do not merge, at least most of us.
