Everything you see passes through the filter of what you feel about something that makes you think deeply.

I walk in the evening through the Exhibition Park (from Iaşi), a fact so suggestive for a man whose steps are guided by that spiritual content, dense, inherently loaded with a great love of nature. Lazy, eager to admire the views that nature has sprinkled from place to place to feed my soul, I try to distinguish shapes, features, and then create images from which to procure new study material in the field of interpretive art.

Everything that is new and pleasant makes me happy. All that nature gives to personal experience is the natural consequence of what happens when the images that appear before me capture all kinds of expressions, emotions, feelings. Here is what I observe carefully this time. On one of the benches sits a cat whose fur, cream and black, arouses my curiosity. It seems to be the same calm and gentle soul that lets itself be comforted by any passer-by, a form of being whose actions and adventures have a symbolic meaning if you know how to turn something banal into something suggestive.

On another occasion I saw the same cat in the arms of a passer-by, other times I saw her walking leisurely in the middle of people, but most of the time she waits to be stroked on a bench. On the same bench. Everyone likes her. But the cat does not sketch a gesture, no expression of her face can be defined exclusively by accident, it remains only an observance. She is neither sad nor happy, she seems only a little deceived by a feeling of her own importance, as well as by that of weeping for pity. She did not move out of pleasure, pain or alternating transition from one of these states to another.

The cat feels only the delicate caress of good people, because only good people feel the unseen tears of a soul waiting for a comfort, but also the breath of hope that pierces her heart.

Can you convey in positivism what you really feel when you give meaning to all that can be seen which capture what can only be seen through resemblance?

Thus, my mind is called upon to give meaning to what is seen, what is not seen and what is felt in the turn of thoughts that do not fail to capture a special message: everything I see passes through the filter of what I feel towards something that makes me to think deeply.

I simply could not remain indifferent to the little soul that seemed to feel the approach of my steps. As if the image in front of me was perceived in a state of mind, right? With love, full of affection for something so fragile, I sat down for a few minutes next to the little being. Then she carefully rose from her seat and slowly crouched in my arms.

You see, there are certain images in which you find yourself, which reassure you, which make you redefine yourself. You begin to unite with the peace within you. You don’t have to put your feelings into words just to understand that what someone feels for you is what you feel for them. You also realize the feelings of a loved one with the same affinities. When you approach him, he also approaches you, he does not move away from you, and you do not feel distant from him.

You feel when someone has a soul for you… that’s what a cat taught me best.

In principle, what we pass through the filter of emotions is part of the category of those felt, of those seen with the force of magic that expressively cumulates the qualities and requirements of subjective feelings meant to reflect some power over the activity of knowledge. Whereas now, my mind contains meanings of a deep image through something special: do thoughts think what they feel when they give meaning to all that can be seen which capture what can only be seen through resemblance?

Leadership is the consequence of a state of compatibility. It means introducing into the world of your feelings an image whose (predictable) finality is similar to the prolongation of a state of reflection on the self.

When Images Come To The Attention of “The Mind’s Eye”, only then can you more easily discern the importance of life situations that create emotional or behavioral states.

Let us not forget that, from listening to teaching, it is only an image that captures that science of life, without which writing, however perfect it may be, could not reproduce exactly what man thinks in his heart.
