Painting a New Picture
The time for stick figures and finger-painting has ended.
Let go of conscious efforts to depict the world
-they will always fall short.
Erase all preconceptions from the mind;
Put down the brush and dull primary colors.
Put away the crude mental constructs.
Allow the pristine white canvas to be colored
By the vivid reality all around.
See things for what they truly are
And not what we perceive them as.
