'Let us talk about beauty and resilience,' Vincent said, gesturing toward the flower. 'Most people, coming across this one bright bit of color in a garden that can barely be called such, would be relieved and cheered to see something blooming among patches of bare earth and weedy greenery. And that is natural. The human spirit seeks beauty. But beauty takes many forms, and the discerning eye will find it even when it is not obvious.'Vincent was dreadfully serious. I looked at him as he stood there, frowning slightly and staring down at his shoes. He seemed to be searching for his next words, andtaking my arm, Vincent knelt down and pulled me down to the ground with him. He brushed aside stray bits of mutilated plants, exposing tiny growing things.'You see,' he said, 'here are the beginnings of new growth, new life. Forget that they are likely weeds, look at the variety of shape and color hidden behind the sprawling of the obvious.'I stuck my face down almost level with the ground and there I saw them, a legion of little plants pushing their way toward the sun. Upon closer observation I could see tiny stars, tender shoots of greens and yellows.I smiled involuntarily and Vincent said, 'Good! You have discovered something many people never do - behind the bright and showy often lies an entire universe of a different kind of beauty, along with determination... perhaps more elemental, more primitive, but pleasing to the eye and to the soul nonetheless.'He got up and helped me to my feet. 'I must go,' he said. I have many other things yet to do. You must promise me that you will look for beauty everywhere. Do not be trapped in your first judgment of what you see in front of you. Explore, look beyond what glitters. Promise me.'I looked at him and said, 'I promise.''Au 'voir,' Vincent replied. Once you can take those observations and apply them to the intangible, the sun will shine brighter for you.'<
