It’s beautiful to watch how one little 2 year old girl can inspire and thrill and mesmerize and uplift and delight so many people – for me anyway, she endlessly captivates me with who she is. Like all children do when you are with them – they have a beauty inside them that transports you. It’s just them being alive and existing in front of you that does it – not doing anything but being their ‘full of soul‘ selves, their relatively uncorrupted selves (compared to us adults anyway). It’s like watching something incredible and achingly beautiful all at the same time – it takes you to another world – the soul’s world that you suddenly find yourself sitting there watching, – completely fascinated by what’s happening in front of you. But it’s not really incredible or anything out of this world – it’s just them being themselves, with their innocent, truthful, trusting, soul and the purity of that is something truly beautiful.
It’s a world I know for me I have completely lost access to. I have adjusted very nicely to living the superficial/soulless life I live. In fact I crave my superficial life – I’m addicted to it and I don’t want to think too deeply about anything. My world is about arriving at work on Monday and catching up on what we all did on the weekend, where we went, who we caught up with, who we hooked up with, any gossip, any new clothes we bought, admire the new shoes, plan to buy a more next weekend. Then onto coffee and work and emails and work phone calls and text and work and emails and work and text and lunch and work and emails and work and coffee and work and leave work, exercise, exercise, exercise, home, washing, wine, cook, wine, TV, wash-up, wine, shower, tea, teeth, bed. I have become so devoid in myself of any access to the soulful part of life that when I see this little girl I’m almost shocked into this other world that I sort of don’t belong to anymore.
But I was once a little girl too so I must have known about that world once too, but I suppose that is the whole story of growing up – you lose that innocence and it’s trust and generosity and love and your soul does get corrupted – you suffer the human condition to the point were children and adults are like completely different sorts of human beings – one still alive and one dead on their feet and now I’m in this situation where this little girl seems like she’s a different species to me. Imagine if one day children could somehow hang onto all that truth and beauty inside them and stay connected to their soul and all the magic of that innocent world – imagine that.
A person who is a big fan of Van Gogh should not hesitate to invest in Van Gogh reproductions. There are so many people who are art enthusiasts. A lot of these people want to own art pieces, but they are afraid that it will cost them a lot of money. Yes, there are certain artworks that are very expensive. Some are even not for sale. Fortunately, even those individuals who have limited funds can already own their favorite paintings. There are reproductions sold in the market that are as beautiful as the authentic ones. Then again, one has to check the painting itself and make sure that it has excellent quality. It would be a waste to spend so much money on an artwork that does not even come close to the original one.
