Talents
Talents are people who can do what we can’t. Poets can put scenes
vividly in words. They describe moods that we can only feel. Painters do
dramatic works of portraits that photographers pale. Dancers present movements
that make us doubt if their bodies are different from ours. Musicians compose
pieces that move our heart and rock our body. Jewellers breathe life into
rocks. Sculptors carve statues with lines that can show both strength and
weakness.
I can go on the list because I have so much admiration for all these
great people past and present that have immortalized beauty! I am not a talent.
When I see a rainbow, I can but say “Oh! So pretty” And then the lyrics of
“Somewhere over the rainbow” would come to my mind. When I watch the harbour
view at night with all the sparkling lights, the famous jewellery pieces would
be right there in front of my eyes. When I see the willow swaying by the brook,
the few ballet performances I have watched would be presented once again just
for me!
I who am not a talent am fortunate enough to live in a world where
all the great masterpieces are only a click away.
Here you go – the most famous woman, Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vince
pained between 1503 – 1506.
