Another day I was seeing the paintings of Vicent Van Gogh and I wrote the names of two pictures that I liked.
Now, I was looking for inspiration to write and I searched for one of these pictures. Looking at it using the zoom I could see how he painted. Looking with that tool I could see the details and to realize one thing: when I saw the picture with some distance I could understand what he wanted to show, but looking closer I couldn’t understand what he was doing in that canvas.
So, my little epiphany about this thought is that sometimes something doesn’t make much sense looking closer, but if you walk a little bit more and look back you will understand what that person or canvas wanted to say.
This is like when you watch a movie when you’re a child, but when you watch the same movie when you’re older you understand what that scene was talking about.
Maybe the name of this epiphany is patience, wisdom or time. Probably these three things, right?

Fields with Poppies - Vincent Van Gogh, 1888
Interesting! We also have this expression in English, that you can’t see the forest for the trees. One is so focused on the fine details (the trees, or Van Gogh’s brush strokes) that one doesn’t notice what is more important (the entire forest, or the full painting).
@WaterRocks It's a good expression, i really liked it. :) Thank you for your help and comment. By the way, i liked your nickname "WaterRocks".
