Unless you [...] become like little children

Children understand. There am teaching third grade and someone mentions the sunset. The teacher can't hold herself and say: the sunset here is the most beautiful one I have ever seen.

The dialogue follows:

"Yes, the sunset here is pink!"
"No, it's pinkish!"
"No, it's pinkish-orange!"
"Pinkish-orangish."
"Sometimes it's yellow."
"And sometimes it's golden."
"I saw a silver sunset once."

A moment of soul's communion. Everything they said rings true to my eyes.



Do you agree with us?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

You look at a picture like this and might not see much:


I see a magnificent cloudy sky, ready to pour the rain (which I've seen six times only in one year). And this day, I remember, I couldn't reach home, before it started showering. Heavily. A very cold rain, mixed with dust. An experience for a lifetime. 

I don't see the barricades or the wall blocking the traffic, to protect the presidential palace from the people. I don't see the army cannons aimed at the people they should protect. No soldiers lined up as a menace to their own people. 

I see cars coming and going in a Friday morning. Usually a crowded street, I don't see a traffic jam. 

Beautiful!
