How I noticed an Artist: I was strolling in the Peace Garden, enjoying its natural beauty at my home city Surrey, near Vancouver, the beautiful city in Canada, while also deliberating about my studies in USA.
My aim, as lifetime dream came true as I finished my doctorate last year, in education. I did it with specialization in role and need of counseling in personal life for self-study and learning after leaving formal education.
I always enjoy the results of the research work that some students leave school after grade 10 and very few go to do post graduation and doctorate.
It happens to be a golden chance doing the practical research work on different people without age consideration and their educational and social background. While I was walking and indulged in my self-absorption enriched with these thoughts making me feel proud of what I have done, my eyes started to follow the rows of beautiful flowers; it seemed a very beautiful sight spreading the mixed fragrance.
It was not allowing my eyes to blink as looking both the flowers and the rows were so refreshing while going along and doing so.
All of a sudden my eyes noticed the back of a person who was facing the flowers, I moved ahead and saw a young man sitting alone on the grass and looking at the plants and flowers; at times he was also gazing at grass and trees. He was absorbed to such an extent that he was not aware at all about the surroundings. His gazing made me feel that he was enjoying nature in unusual way.
I left the place without any thought about his unusual attitude towards nature, though I wondered if I could do that way. I love nature, but his way was different and unusual.
How I Learned about Artistic Life Style: Next day, I saw him again, he was writing something; while sitting near the rows of flowers in the garden. He was sitting alone, though in the solitude, yet very peacefully. I also enjoyed this humanly feelings of joy in the solitude.
I could grasp the theme and concept of what he was writing, as it seemed clear that he was writing something about nature and its beauty, as he was looking flowers, plants and trees.
I usually saw him sitting there enjoying the little things as if these are of great importance.
How I Learn to Observe Beauty of Garden: Slowly, I began to appreciate him. I liked the way he would look at everything in the garden. I saw him enjoying even the colorful honeybees, butterflies and flying birds in the garden.
He would watch the butterfly arriving at the flowers on the plants, sitting on different flowers as if one swims on the sea of beauty.
The way he would view made me feel as if birds were chirping and singing songs to the butterflies, plants, trees and everybody present in the garden.
It gave me a great lesson about how to enjoy natural beauty.
Thanks for your reading it!
