Wisdom

Oil on Canvas A2 Unframed   Next time what I’d do is look atthe earth before saying anything. I’d stopjust before going into a houseand be an emperor for a minuteand listen better to the windor to the air being still. When anyone talked to me, whetherblame or praise or just passing time,I’d watch the face, how the mouthhas to work, and see any strain, anysign of what lifted the voice.And for all, I’d know more — the earthbracing itself and soaring, the airfinding every leaf and feather overforest and water, and for every personthe body glowing inside the clotheslike a light.Next time by Mary OliverThere is deep wisdom in the nature that surrounds us, and yes, that includes all humans.

Next time, stop and look at the magnificence, and reflect on your own.   Delivery in and around the Western Cape is free and totally personalised (I love seeing where my creations find a home) Delivery to
