Snowy Bison
Acrylic on Cradled board 6 x 6 x .75 Sold
This symbolism of the majestic Bison heading directly into the storm is very fitting and an interesting reminder of how to confront life’s obstacles. We all know that the worst thing we can do when confronted with a major challenge in life is to run from it.
Don’t run.
Don’t avoid it.
Don’t hope it goes away.
Take it head on.
But as human beings we often don’t do that. We tend to procrastinate and the fear of the big upcoming task gets bigger and more daunting in our heads. To use an old idiom that’s been around since millions of Bison were roaming the Great Plains, we like to “make mountains out of molehills.” We essentially procrastinate our challenge into something much bigger than it needs to be.
But that’s not what the Bison does. Rather than waiting out the storm or running away from the storm, the Bison charges into the storm, taking it head-on and running right through it. This has the effect of reducing the amount of exposure to the storm.
