The Beauty Remains…the Pain Passes October 30, 2009

A Beautiful Story to Share…..Author Unknown

Although Henri Matisse was nearly 28 years younger than Auguste Renoir, the two great artists were dear friends and
frequent companions.

When Renoir was confined to his home during the last decade of his life, Matisse visited him daily.

Renoir, almost paralyzed by arthritis, continued to paint in spite of his infirmities. One day as Matisse watched the
elder painter working in his studio, fighting torturous pain with each brush stroke, he blurted out: “Auguste, why
do you continue to paint when you are in such agony?”

Renoir answered simply: “The beauty remains; the pain passes.” And so, almost to his dying day, Renoir put paint
to canvas. One of his most famous paintings, The Bathers, was completed just two years before his passing, 14 years
after he was stricken by this disabling disease.

How committed are you to creating beauty on your canvas?

The Clock Of Life- A Poem By R.H.Smith October 14, 2009

The clock of life is wound but once,

And no man has the power

To tell just when the hands will stop,

At late or early hour.

 

To lose one’s wealth is sad, indeed,

To lose one’s health is more;

To lose one’s soul is such a loss,

And no man can restore.

 

The present only is our own,

Live, love, toil with a will;

Place no faith in “Tomorrow”

For the clock may then be still.

Think, Believe, Dream and Dare October 12, 2009

This is a beautiful story which I came across today and just had to share…..Enjoy!

An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes and asked:

 “I understand you’re a very wise man. I’d like to know the secret of life.”

The old man looked down at the youngster and replied: “I’ve thought about that a lot in my lifetime, and the
secret can be summed up in four words.

The first is to Think. Think about the values you wish to live your life by.

The second is to Believe. Believe in yourself based on the thinking you’ve done about the values you’re going to live
your life by.

The third is to Dream. Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you’re
going to live by.

The last is to Dare. Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and your values.”

And with that, Walter E. Disney said to the little boy, “Think, Believe, Dream, and Dare.”
