A grasshopper was found inside the paint of a famous painting. [1] Surely a weird and funny matter. But look again at the painting. There is more than a small grasshopper inside it. There is the Sun. There is the painter. There is Earth. There is happiness and sorrow. There are tears and laughter. Look again… Everything is in that painting… The painter himself. And all those who saw the painting and admired it. The whole universe is inside that painting. The stars and the galaxies. As they were that day when the painting came to be. The Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. They all watched the masterpiece come to life. They all stared in awe. They all approved. And as Cronus ate his children, this painting has devoured all existence in a single moment. It is all there. See beyond the paint. No, not the grasshopper. Look at the painter smiling. Feel him. At that very moment he was not a painter. He was God. Putting himself on the canvas.
PS. Even an onion right after it was cut…
