It's not a strange phenomenon that we spend more time and attention preparing for an evening out than we do getting ready for work.

Any time we spend doing that which gives us pleasure and which we are not obligated to do, is worth savoring.

I send thanks to the buyer from Ohio who purchased a canvas print of

Gathering Thoughts -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/gathering-thoughts-steve-henderson.html?product=canvas-print

May the image take you to a place of magical splendor where the sun is deliciously warm, the surf ever, just ever so slightly cool, and the day filled with wonderful moment after wonderful moment.

Dreams are elusive.

I can't touch them with my hands,

But can with my heart.

Now in the days of seeing is most definitely not believing (nor hearing, nor being "informed") we look both inwards and outwards for truth, meaning, and the determination to do the good things that reside in our hearts.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Travel
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

It's understandable that if we want to go someplace, we want to get there quickly. That's why we have freeways.

But there are days when we want to get someplace and there is no freeway, simply a winding country road that looks intent upon taking its time. And we can either be frustrated, or accept the road for what it is, and enjoy the view along the way.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

"Oh, look! Two cute cats. Let's see if they'll let us pet them."

Two feline friends groom themselves in a quiet Italian courtyard. You can be sure that this is the very best spot they could be in, because cats ALWAYS find the nicest place to be in.

But as for petting them -- they may let you; they may not. That's just how cats are.

When we're little, we jump in puddles without worrying about getting our feet wet. What matters is that splash, and the ripples it creates.

When we're older, we focus so much on not getting our feet wet (which is mature, and understandable) that we risk missing out on that joyous splash, and the ripples it creates.

We need both: reflection and action.

It's been a good day

Traveling slowly with calm

Just where I wanted.

A good day, a splendid day, a perfect day is one in which we use our skills, knowledge and ability to seek, learn, travel, observe and create -- for our own benefit and for the benefit of those we choose. Not for the trillionaires.

The surface of a lake, gently kissed by the breeze, is so peaceful. May the artwork bring you to such a lake, where there is quiet, and sunlight, and and serenity.

Quiet and sleepy,

The farm dozes in the heat:

An afternoon nap.

In the world of air conditioning, where the temperature of summer looks like that of winter in a heated home, it's easy to forget that summer is HOT. And that heat invites us to slow down, stop working all the time, and listen to the insects buzz.

Some of the most miraculous and magical elements of our life we easily overlook because they seem so ordinary: sunlight warming our skin on a spring day, flowers bursting up as if out of nowhere, air with just the right amount nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to sustain the abundant life on earth.

The beauty and exuberant burst of life that we see in nature are mirrored, I believe, in the innocence and joy of childhood -- in their pure forms, both impart truth, goodness, and joy to a world that is otherwise filled with cynicism, a drive for profits, and parking lots.

When I was a kid, our calendars had holidays marked out in red: a red letter day was a special one, worthy of standing out from the rest of the week.

Some days spontaneously turn into red letter days, regardless of what the calendar says. These are days of joy and freedom, enjoyed with family and friends.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Imagine a world in which there were no color, no variety, in which all the people thought and acted the same -- copying the words, actions, lifestyle, beliefs and dress of media and celebrity "Influencers."

That world would be not only dull, but constricting, coercive, conforming and repressive.

Freedom is not a follower.

The world of technocracy demands that we work all the time, for the greater good of, well, the technocrats. Because it certainly isn't for the greater good of humanity that we live a 24/7 existence of either working, looking at a screen, texting, streaming, or perusing the "news."

It's okay to walk away from the online, on-call world.

Rocks and cliffs look pretty permanent. Mist does not. And yet mist, with its ethereal nature, is a reminder that even the rocks and cliffs have a lifespan, and given enough time, they will change and alter, disappear, even as mist does.

Quality of life -- for both humanity and the planet itself -- involves freedom from the credence that it's unreasonable to expect ALL people to treat other people, and the resources of this planet, with respect, dignity, and honor.

As long as there are rulers, neither humanity nor the planet will benefit.

Golden glow on the horizon is not cold hoarded metal, locked away in a vault by a miser.

Rather, it is a gift from nature, a fleeting glimpse of beauty that is set before all eyes to see. You cannot cache it, stockpile it, or steal it from others. Nature's gifts, with which she has filled the earth, are meant for all to enjoy and share.
