A Joke: A housewife was found one day to have gone berserk in her kitchen. She had smashed up all crockery, and was found setting the worktops on fire.

All the emergency people who came to rescue her from the burning kitchen were mystified. How could an otherwise good sensible lady go such raging mad? When questioned, her
husband said that he too, was equally surprised. "How could my wife have become so mad? After all, she has always been in that kitchen every day for the last thirty years."

Where Can I Find Delighful Artwork?

At the Modern Tate Gallery in London I saw an exhibit which was no more than a soiled and frayed ship's thick fibre rope loosely thrown about on the floor.

A messy work table of a house painter and decorator was another art work displayed.
A stone wall occupied another precious space of the building. A battered old expedition van was
a large useless piece of metal shown off as an incredulous piece of artwork. And so on,
through much of the vast Modern Tate Gallery of London.

It was obvious to me that any thing I happened to look at in my day to day living, if taken out of its context, and isolated by a space all around it, could be regarded as a piece of art, fine enough to be exhibited in the world's best galleries.

It may be that my feelings of happiness that a scene or an event gives me may be in that scene or event, just as delightful art is in that self scene, only if I were to isolate it, and look at it with a different perspective. In that case, my happiness is all around me, in everything I see, and in all that I experience.

Where then, is my theory if I were to cut my finger while chopping up my vegetables?
May be my happiness would be in the sympathy and attention I will get from my family, from being excused from doing the washing up, and in my being more mindful when I next cut vegetables with a sharp knife.

So, perhaps, my theory is correct.

My happiness is, indeed all around me.

Thank you for reading this blog.

I wish you all the best. Shree 1
