An adult art class was asked to paint a place where they felt peaceful.
Ruth finished first and handed in a blank canvas.
The teacher asked whether the place was covered in snow.
Ruth said it was her sitting room….
The art teacher asked everyone to paint a peaceful place.
One student painted a beach. Another painted a garden.
Ruth handed over a blank canvas.
The teacher asked whether she’d had trouble choosing.
No. It’s my sitting room.
Shall we start with the furniture?
There isn’t any.
The teacher asked whether Ruth had recently moved.
No. The builders are putting in a new floor.
Then how can it be peaceful?
Ruth pointed at the blank canvas.
No television. No husband’s chair. No grandchildren looking for the remote.
The teacher suggested adding something that captured the feeling.
Ruth picked up a pencil and wrote at the bottom.
She handed it back.
What does that say? the teacher asked.
Please delay delivery.
