Waltz of lights on the water….
Down the memory lane
A boat, a river, and I.
A canal trip on the River Reie
Beautiful Bruges at night
Shimmering lights
Dancing on water
Ever so gently
Creating a moment
Worth a capture!

A place called Hope
There is a place
That fills you with positivity
Enriches you with expansiveness
Embodies inclusiveness.
Enough to keep your faith going.
Endowed with trustfulness
Believe in possibilities.
A place of potential value
Thats nurturing in itself.
That lights the way forward.
A place that speaks to all of you!
A beautiful place called hope!

The fault in our…
We often complicate things which are actually very simple.
Perhaps the idea of simplicity is embedded in the complexities
Our ways of life and living often weighs us down in density.
The simple life is seen to be difficult to sustain
We are drawn to searching for more ways of entrapment of our senses
That our views have become colored in the distractions.
The simple truths are submerged in the illusory facades.
Our perception changes with our attitude
The way we see things changes the way things are.

Dances of the world : Argentine Tango
Dancing is the ultimate art of expression of the spirit of life. Every part of the world has a unique set of dances that set it apart yet find some similarities somewhere. And that’s what is the strength of the creative art of movements, in the interconnects of community, culture , history, traditions as well as a reflection of the expression of changing times in the Dance Connection, and that is what beautiful about ‘Dance’ itself.
On the occasion of International Tango Day on 11 th December…
As a Celebration of Tango Dancers across the world …Sharing a few verses on Tango with a beautiful Tango Watch “Andrea Vighi y Chiara Benati – Milonga para as Missoes”
Tango
Born in the dark alleys of Argentina
The stark truth emerges of murky beginnings in the 18th century
Frequented mostly by slaves, immigrants in the ports of Buneos Aires and even Uruguay.
There were even bans on many of these tango musical gatherings.
The dance form began with countless influences of European and native culture.
Watch
Argentine Tango is both energetic and enigmatic
It has the strength and soul to show.
Equally exotic and evocative
Intriguing and beguiling
The lead and follow is beyond genders
For connection is beyond the physicality
For beside the passion play plain to see,
There is something quite alluring & attractive in the movements.
Two people apparently moving as one
The footwork entices and enthralls
The feet move with a mind all their own
But articulating a drama through the feet.
Watch
Slow, steady or sharp and staccato movements
Each pair of feet, teasing the other
Challenging into a seemingly deadly duel of the feet.
Hitting all the right notes
Never missing a beat
Never stepping unto another
Except for a flip a dip or a show stopping lift thrown in.
If you want to see the drama of life and living,
Watch the synergy of energy playing
In a soulful yet spirited tango of two dancers.
There is rivetting romance,
Yet strikingly serious and sombre in notion.
Depths of emotion & unbridled passion
Emanating in an artistry of motion.
Today there are so many versions of the Tango
Off shoots and diverse cultural interpretations.
That created new interpretations of the way the dance is danced.
In hold, in form, in stance and in steps. That it’s almost untraceable.
Tango today is alluring as ever with dark days remaining just a history.
Yet retaining the mystery and appeal, Captivating with its intensity.
The connects so rooted in the embrace and hold, that makes the fancy footwork so effortless.
Tango truly speaks eloquently more than ever before…

ARTISTRY OF CREATIVITY …
Sharing one of my musings written way back in time… came across it in my feeds.
To me what is fascinating about the Artistry
in the artist is the path he chooses
to channelizes his Creativity .. ‘
Every artist is unique ….
Working in tandem with his own techinque
Every stroke of the brush guided in the silence of a visual imagery
Marks the stark passion in the heart of divinity
Sculpting and painting the patterns with conviction
With personal care beyond concern or consternation
Blending in the tones and .. while sketching a grass blade
Molding to the hues in every shade ….
Life is a canvas colorful or otherwise
Care to see the value beyond the price…

We are…
We are
Grains of pulsating energy,
Vibrantly dancing and emoting
In the sands of time.
We are
Moving bodies reacting and responding,
Patterning uniquely in every now
To the tunes of the nature of life.
We are
So very fragile in the making,
So very vulnerable in the sensing,
Yet so very strengthened in the living.
We are
Fractal fields of energy transformation,
Designing and redesigning ourselves,
Giving purpose to life and living.

The Creator’s Touch
A dear friend shared this video clip with me yesterday and I immediately penned these words…
The creator flows
Envisioning…
Creating patterns
In the living
Every phase
Deeply connected
In the tapestry of life
Everything has a reason to be…
Every shape, every line
Speaks of life lived
Every shade, every colour
Every tone & every tint
Portrays the truths of living
Every curve depicts
The fullness of life.
In the creators touch
Art becomes artistry
In the state of flow
Where the creator
Merges with his creation
Emanating soul to the art.

Art & Life
Imagine
What if?
A place of stillness
Columns of concrete
Standing silent
Affirming its presence…
An artists work
Of imagination
Creativity is a flow
Imagination transcends
Artists beyond dimensions
Illusions dances & shifts itself
From real to surreal.
Technology enhances imagination
Giving wings to its flight
Here I have simply used it
To sense its effects by thinking
What if?
Which picture strikes you ?
What are your thoughts on it?
Imagination is full of possibilities.
Please share…
I just did.
Here is the original picture I took in France and enhanced it digitally.
The picture is of this uniquely interesting sculpture by Aurelie Nemours one of the emblematic figures of geometric abstract art..
Situated in Rennes France these columns are called….The 21st Century Alignment. It is a monumental work: 72 gray granite columns, four meters and fifty high, arranged on a concrete rectangle and punctuated by the course of the sun.
What looks like simple blocks of stones, is a modern contemporary art,
they pay homage to the Carnac stones of Breton France the largest collection of megalithic stones erected by Pre-celtic people which are also said to have astronomical connections.

On caring…
Life and living can be both beautiful and challenging beyond compare…
Touched by these heartfelt words I came across so much that I just had to share..
“Take me out to the street, son, I still have good legs. If I walk with you, I won’t feel old …
Invite me to your home, son, Sunday morning; to share your good table and feel accompanied …
Talk to me with love, son, don’t challenge me or shake me; we old people are like children we like to be pampered, to smile without discomfort …
Celebrate my birthdays, don’t criticize my follies; I’ll try to be brave, even if bitterness arises …
Don’t push me away from you, don’t talk to me in anger; I still have my mind clear, the memories of the past …
Come visit me at home, my son, I will not ask you for anything; just your presence and contemplate your face …
Don’t leave me sad and alone, don’t put me to bed; the doctors are wrong, the pain is in the soul … ”
On Caring…Care to give of yourself
Someday you may need it too!
Age is no bar
To create a value
For age is just a number.
Experience of living, matters.
Treat life with care
For life comes a full circle.
Life can at times be lonely
Make time to be present
In the life of those who need you.
Just a bit of your time
A kind word or deed
Will make all the difference.
Express kindness
Your near and dear ones
Need to sense it.
Show empathy
Share the love.

Boomerang Effect
Love boomerangs
It is the very nature of love.
For love generates more love
In the sharing is creating
In the creation is the spreading
Of this heartfelt expansion called love.
Love is meant to flow
For life to be sustained.
Love flows its course
In its own time.
Such is the power of love
Love when channeled
In goodwill transforms the world.
In this love, life is lived
In this love writers write
Dancers dance, artists create
Poetry flows, Singers sing
All in the resonance of love.
Love envelopes the whole spirit
Without fear or favor
For love boomerangs
Such is nature of love.
Sweet Love!💙💜💙

Wonder of life!
Life is born
Thoughts arise
Creativity spurts
Dreams envisioned
Passions pursued
In hope of dawn.
Yet night falls
Beween the dawns
Some dreams shatter
In the darkness unknown
While some see
The light of day!
And Life is bettered
Such is the circle of life
Flowing in a rhythm
Of its own making!
Every Life chalks it’s path in time
Arrives its meaning for itself
The journey is unparalleled
And uniquely carved.
Such is the very nature of life
And at every moment
One can’t help
But wonder…
Such is the wonder of life!
