It is a known fact that writers and painters have a very keen perception of their surroundings. They have an eye for the details and hardly anything escapes their scrutiny. I always believed that it was one of the best gifts that you can recieve from God. But now I believe that not having this gift might have its charms too.
You sit in your room in the morning, looking out of the window, you see the lush green fields, the trees with their leaves fluttering in the morning wind, kids playing, bird chirping and everything bathed in the serene glow of the morning sun. You are filled a sense of joy and expectation. Sometimes it overwhelms you. You are happy with what you see and feel. Things are simple.
But then if you start analysing the environment around you, you start to trivialise it.
Sometimes its better not to know why you feel something. Better to sit back and enjoy what is offered to us as a gift than to be perceptive and knowledgable and trivialise it.
