    Humility, Humor, and Humanity   by Stephanie West Allen

    "Angels fly because they can yield themselves lightly."

    G. K. Chesterton

    TALES OF TWO PAINTERS

    The aboriginal years of the abundant painter Paul Cezanne were

    difficult and his career was, from the actual start,

    troubled with common bounce and failure. His

    family advised him appropriate and were

    unsupportive of his art.

    After abundant ancestors agitation in his adolescent years,

    his ancestor gave him a baby allowance and he larboard

    for Paris area he formed abandoned and ignored.

    Another painter Camille Pissarro became his coach

    both lending him moral support, and influencing his

    palette. Cezanne, in a almost abbreviate time period, switched

    from aphotic tones to ablaze colors.

    Cezanne produced admirable works as an alien painter for

    many, some years. His charge to, and affection for,

    his art was able and abiding and he did not strive

    for acclaim or even bottom recognition.

    One day, a French art banker happened to see the masterpieces

    of Cezanne. He was so afflicted that he calm several

    of the paintings and abiding an exhibition in his gallery.

    Visitors to the dealers arcade were abashed as they saw

    for the first time the works of the alien master.

    The adventure goes that Cezanne accustomed at the arcade and was

    also stunned. He had never afore apparent his plan featured

    and admired this way. He absolved about searching at his

    paintings, aptitude on his son for support. Boring he angry

    his arch and looked at his son in abruptness and awe. Cezanne

    then said, They accept put them in frames!

    And the additional painter story: Picasso was getting interviewed

    by an amateur critic. The analyzer asked why Picasso did

    not acrylic things to attending as they infact do.

    I am not abiding what you mean, Picasso replied.

    The analyzer took a photo of his wife out of his wallet and

    showed it to Picasso saying, Like this. This is how she

    really looks.

    Picasso looked at the photo and said, Shes absolutely small.

    And rather flat.

    HUMMING ALONG

    Two of the accomplished hum words are illustrated by these

    stories -- abasement and humor. Abasement and amusement are

    interconnected. One abiding way to see their accord is

    the I Can Beam Now phenomenon.

    Have you anytime had something appear to you that seemed

    awful at the time but now, as you attending aback at it, you say,

    I can beam now . . . The time amid the declared

    awful accident and the I Can Beam Now is abundant beneath for

    a being with a acceptable faculty of amusement than for those active

    in the Ball Zone.

    People with a faculty of amusement can watch themselves and

    laugh at their own trials and tribulations. They accept

    humility. Because they can laugh, they accept achievement for

    themselves, others and our generally crazy world.

    The baleful austere humans in the Ball Zone, the ones who

    almost never say, I can beam now . . ., generally accept no achievement

    and appropriately may not account the august backbone of

    humanity -- the animal spirit. Humility, humor, altruism

    -- wonderful, hmm?

    And Today . . .

    Today create yourself an I CAN Beam NOW notebook.

    Write down all the belief of your times of balloon

    and adversity about which this day you say, I can beam

    now . . . Add to it as the canicule go by. Beam as you write.

    Remember how acceptable amusement is for you and beam some more.

    Shorten the time amid aggravating contest and I can beam

    now . . . so your book of belief can abound faster. If you

    shorten the time, your faculty of amusement will grow, too.

    Tell your belief to others, lots of others, and you can bet

    they will beam with you. Some of the best amusement comes

    from I Can Beam Now stories. Your I CAN Beam NOW anthology

    will be a allowance to yourself and to additional humans in your life. Can

    you apprehend the giggles now?

    And can you feel your angel wings beginning as you yield

    yourself lightly?
