A mail to me this morning made me stop and smile and tap into gratitude with all my heart.

It was from my reader and friend now over the years, Robert Mason, who has been extremely supportive of my journey through the visions and verses.

A share of kindness and appreciation can be the spring well of creativity. 

A few lines in dedication to this kind and caring soul…

My dear patron,

Your compliments inspire me on my path

Your words encourage & your belief supports

Recently you asked about my art, vision and verse …

You asked me, where I create from

You asked me how long it takes to form.

You asked me from where warmth and positivity spring forth in my words.

Life they say, is the best teacher guide and mentor

Perhaps in the siftings of life and living

The colours of my art emerge.

Perhaps the sounds of words felt deep within

I sense again, in the verses I write

Perhaps the blow of incessant hot and cold winds of changes

Mellow my words with moderation.

Words are powerful I deeply believe

As I had written somewhere earlier too

In faith hope and trust

I care to send out my thoughts

That they may shift the perspectives

Of another’s thought to turn to the positive.

That they may bring the very same contentment

in the reading and sensing

to awaken the spirit and let their souls shine

With love and gratitude

In the realization of all that is.

That I feel deep within.

Beauty of it all is

That life continues

To be a great impactor

In the winds of changes.

There is much to understand and know

New learnings, new knowings

That teach as they are happening now.

The trick is to be open

And allow it all in the flow

To assimilate and acknowledge

This wealth of wisdom between you & me.

So I thank your questions here to me

As it awakens my spirit now 

To brave new frontiers of creativity

But with deep responsibility.

Thank you for the pause in my thoughts

You invoke with your caring query.

 

Significance of creative endeavors

Arise first from curiosity and care

And that propels new paths and purpose…

In this journey of life and living.
