When they asked her to reveal her beauty secrets, Audrey Hepburn wrote this beautiful text that was later read at her funeral.
′′ To have attractive lips, speak kind words.
To have a loving look, look for the good side of people.
To look skinny, share your food with the hungry.
To have beautiful hair, let a child cross it with his own fingers once a day.
To have a beautiful poise, walk knowing you’re never alone, because those who love and loved you accompany you.
People, even more than objects, need to be fixed, spoiled, awakened, wanted and saved: never give up on anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a hand, you’ll find them at the end of both your arms.
When you become old, you will discover that you have two hands, one to help yourself, the second to help others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, in her face or in her way of fixing her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the door open to her heart, the source of her love.
The beauty of a woman doesn’t lie in her makeup, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the tenderness that gives love, the passion that it expresses.

Well its no small branch

Can you rearrange your past?
You cant do that, you can simply let go
Can you change your future?
You can certainly do that!
The future is awaiting for you to steer
Everything you do now alters it…
In detattaching from notions and judgments
You may begin the journey to sense the now
But in the course of time gradually
There is a letting go of immediate conclusions and
In that dimensional awareness increases
Where our imagination is able to receive in acceptance than just
projecting…
In such a state of conscious consideration
Arrives profoundness beyond apparent realities
Association find new unique meanings
Therein beyond the boxes, imagination pirouttes
Beyond repetitions & recapitulations.
Creativity sparks in sensing the miracle of now.
Happy Diwali to all here. Sharing a few musings from my mother.
Tamaso ma Jyothirgamaya.
On this Diwali let us Illuminate our hearts. Ignorance n impediments Vanish in that brilliance.
Let Faith, prayer, compassion And humility fill the place While false beliefs, prejudices Hatred & anger Dissolve without a trace.
Past year has taught us Many lessons. Many have learnt The real values our lives need.
A disciplined lifestyle With resilience will take us far. The core values our ancestors had Are not mere lessons in vain. They are real essence of health With gratitude, embracing all.
Time to rectify our deeds Done in the quest to excel. Mother Nature knows well How to balance & dwell. Let’s co-exist without harming, Valuing all lives, be it in any form.
Let this Festival of Lights Bring harmony & happiness. Together we will protect This precious divine gift Undoing all our wrongs Restoring what truly belongs.
A Very Happy Deepawali To all of you, Be safe and healthy. Stay blessed ever.
As we celebrate this beautiful festival of lights lets all take some time to connect with the cosmic lights and feel its blessed presence within us all 🙂
We are Magical beings in the flow Such is the truth of creation Yet often we are blinded by our own self Clouding our minds with density Of thoughts and doubts For we are so full of ourselves Our illusory pride and prejudices Out assumed notions and convictions. That we forget we are part of the infinite abundance. With immense potential in the possibilities.
If only we can believe In our being and choose to trust In the purpose of our being. Acknowledge with awareness The spirit of life and living Choosing to thrive in the flow. Learning to allow and accept The unfolding cosmic patterns By stepping out of our own way!
We explore it in unique ways Some of us lookup at the sky Admiring the infinite vastness Of spaces above and beyond
Some of us look down at the ground Preferring to dig deep into nature To witness the foundation of living Exploring the very roots of the life
Some choose to dream and envision What might be, in hope for the morrow Some sit in stillness witnessing their breath Knowing all the truths of life is within.
Some prefer to dance with life In this now as it unfolds Accepting nature as it appears Preferring to make best of its moments.
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.
In the spectrum of emotions Love and hate are at opposite ends. Yet often find itself juxtaposed.
Love flows through Hate constricts life. Love is transcendence. In evolved consciousness. While hate scars the soul Love heals and renews the spirit ❤
When love finds its bearings… It takes wings and charts its course Patterning itself in the flow And leaves healing imprints forever In the river of eternal time.
You have this now Make it beautifulYou have it all in you…Love your life Live life lovingly!
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.
