I think, meditating about pictures, paintings is a great way to relax, let your thoughts free and release the stress gathered during the day. You can do this in many ways. For me the best is simply to stop for a few minutes whenever I see a great picture, and let the rainbow flood my mind. Let the colors be my thoughts. It's a great feeling to do it, it stimulates creativity and in the mean time you can watch beautiful colors which make you happier and more optimistic. So here I will present a meditation of mine about a great painting of Cézanne about apples. I was just staring at it, and when I realized there were really interesting thoughts that flooded my mind, I just took a piece of paper an wrote them down. So here it is:
"Apples. Just a painting of them. Symbolic of still life - what we see, and what it is... it is NOT. Unpainted. Different and the same is the same. Unwriting language. Colors talk? Colors ARE. As green apples seem to talk in this stillness... rainbow of darkness. Shadows move as they are painted. Death surpasses us as we say it's holy name and life kisses apples to make them green. Colored shadows... move on. Let it dark. Feel it. Unfeel singularity risen by thoughts. Reach the peak as you dream away. Apples. Forget yourself."
I hope you enjoyed this. I encourage you to try it out yourself. You are welcomed to share any interesting thoughts, idea, really anything....
