The Nature of Painting

Time is running out
Hastily the paint is applied meticulously
It's like trying to move a mountain
And you believe you have immense powers to do so
But the weight of the task slows you down
You get tired and exhausted
You remember it will take many more days, weeks, months and years
Time is running out
You keep reminding yourself
What you will teach to your student
You keep reminding yourself
What you learned from your teacher
You keep reminding yourself
What you learned on your own
Painting is the act of learning and discovery
the natural laws of the universe
