When To Wait And When To Go?

Abstract Digital Print

A high-quality canvas print, framed in a gold + black floating frame, delivering a timeless and sophisticated look. "Sometimes, you live your day-to-day life and live, and everything seems fine by the look of it. Only some obsessive feeling of thirst haunts you all the time. And then the mirage dissipates, and you find yourself in the middle of the desert. The sun burned out the fertile forests, the animals fled to the river, and people, it seems, have never even come here. There is no time to ponder how it happened, you need to get out before the fiery wind blows out the last drops of moisture from your body. When you are walking through the desert, it seems like time does not exist. You are walking, and the landscape stays the same. You are moving, but nothing changes. You are walking and walking and walking. Everything is the same. You keep walking...suddenly, an oasis. You find several trees of hope and a couple of drops of faith in a tiny puddle of water, miraculously preserved after last year's rain in a hoof print of a camel's calf. You drink the water with reverence. You study trees - they are barren. And it seems you need to be on your way. But there are only days and months of sand and frozen time again and again. You’d better wait. The water was miraculously preserved in a tiny hole. Who knows if miracles are not uncommon here? So, you wait. You wait, and nothing changes. You wait, and wait, and after that you wait some more. Everything is the same. You wait some more. You are still in the desert. The landscape is still not changing, time does not move, and now neither do you.

There is a time when you have to wait: wait for the seeds to sprout, wait for the planted trees to grow stronger, wait for children to be born and for houses to be built. Such waiting is a movement. That's Life. But when you do not know what you are waiting for: for the dead to rise, for the stones to move, for grass to grow on the sand - this is stagnation. Such waiting gains you nothing, but loss. Loss of time, loss of chances, loss of new roads. This is Death. And then it's time to leave. The woman of the desert chose Life, she asked God for help and took a new path: to live, love, create, expanding infinitely, like the Universe itself. And remember now and forever: if you feel thirsty, then you need to get out of the desert."
