Gold, Silver and diamonds

So while for most men and women...the terms gold, silver and diamonds literally mean the physical chemical elements that they are made of...for me...they've just been colors....

Yes, this is how we painters see it. So, when I walked across the fields today and saw the sunlight on the leaves that are yet to grow and the branches that are still bare, the light that reflected to me...was pure gold...I looked up and saw the sun...the sun streaming through the clouds..the outline of the clouds was pure gold..and yet we talk about equity and savings in terms of gold...try and fetch this...you can't because it's smiling at you, right in front of you, you can't touch it and you can't put it in a scientific equation and re-produce the same effect...try...it's impossible...

As I looked at the clouds..the clouds glittered in their silver glory because of the sun...try your best SLR..but the moment will never be the same cause I breathed in it and you can't....the silver lining of a cloud is suppose to be the beginning of positive life..but in my life it's almost always just that moment that I can't seem to come out of...another re-creation that can't be justified in just one element..it's the color...

The sun reflecting it's light on the snow that refuses to melt...is always like a thousand diamonds thrown in the ground..the more you try to capture it or hold it in your hand, the more you realize that it's just water and earth and a reflection of colors and your imagination that you can never possess...

And that my friends is the Gold, Silver and Diamonds of life...look at them...live in that moment..because sooner or later..you will realize that it is all just an illusion! Like everything else is....

Cheers!! TGIF!!
