Journey from old to new, 2, Meditation

Meditation

Watching sunsets is a privilege. So many people are surrounded by fog, mists or polluted air. But sitting on a log or boulder,watching the sun in all its glowing colours, casting rays of gold on clouds and rooftops, that is close to paradise.
Here was I on my journey, now stopping in Rotorua. Again I was in the company of a couple whose family I knew for more than twenty years.Days after New Year were for us a time of holiday, of relaxing at the lake shore, walking through bush, enjoying hot pools, and sharing memories of good years of a long time ago.
Surrounded by all the colours of the rainbow, in the whirling clouds, broken rocks,even one with a massive hole, smooth paddocks and gentle hills, all this encompassed by a glowing layer of the evening sun, I couldn't help to be inspired to take my painting brush and start another picture as a gift for my understanding friends.
The week I was there was a time of deep rest and at the end a time of looking for a deeper challenge into the New Year. Therefore I called my painting,"Meditation".
