This one is for all my fellow writers & artists. For I believe… The ability to express or create art is a gift. A Gift of Grace. To respect the gift of creativity… is to express gratitude and use it in empowering ways. To be able to express and convey is to be able to let go without doubts of disbelief. To be ready and willing to share helps boost and spread the sense of self confidence and self worth…
Take time to appreciate the grace of your gift, as you make a difference in your own unique way!
A thought is a full circle From synapse to the sensing It travels beyond spaces and back Symbol of life in the buzzing.
In the circle of life and living Arises sparks of thinking in the sensing Many thoughts may come and go, Sometimes structured & logical, At times they disappear in a moment Yet some thoughts leave imprints in time.
As thoughts keep on arising These dots of thoughts shape into patterns Emitting in the strength of momentum To countless circles of thoughts in the propelling.
Imagination begins with thoughts There is great power in imagination Imagination can heal or hurt Stemming from infinite abundance. Imagination draws from nature & nurture.
In thinking out of the box Raw & unstructured or uncontrollable Resulting in unexpected creativity Exploring potential possibilities. Thoughts in a flow, forming patterns Shapes moulding within a structure
Meandering like a river Or bursting like a volcano Uncontrollable & quite unexpectedly Often chaotic and welling up the feelings.
Imagination seeks to find its own path
Much of imagination is forgotten soon Or gets lost in translation.
When imagination is reinforced In strength of inate potential of being There is hope for inspirational creativity When imagination is reigned In fear and ridicule There is chance of darkness of morbidity Creating doubts and uncertainties.
Your Imagination is who you are Imagination manifests through you Yet in steering imagination Creativity is born. The source of thoughts arise from within You have the choice to steer the course In mindfulness the path of imagination Can be witnessed and channeled.
The journey of imagination Take you places you have never been.
Betwixt & beyond the illusions & reality Through dimensions of time & space To the quantum truths of your being In expressing, exchanging imagination.. Innovations are possible. The magic is all in the imagination What matters is where you want to go!
My post The journey of imagination is simply a flow of thoughts from reading your post and a few comments. So a humble dedication of this post back to you.Thank you my friend 🙏
The human genius behind the pen, has an eloquence in expressing thoughts as much as a methodically structured brain to have attempted this.
Yet I wonder about the creativity of writers….
What makes every writer so very unique?
Simply saying the uniqueness of thoughts is just one part of the equation
There is always more than what meets the eye, there are some life experiences, the books that are read, the nature of nurture, the kind that leaves a certain impression, all that perhaps leaves a diversity of imprints, interespersing the imagination with potent possibilities in the musings.
Every writing has a certain uniqueness of manifestation that unfolds the magic of thought patterns in the structuring and presenting.
From simple to compound to complexity of sentence structures, the choice and arrangement of words and phrases penned, can be both, subtle and stark indicators of the spirit and soul behind the words.
Every writing leaves a soul print.
And every writing can be a journey back home unto the self!
Very nice article by Late Khushwant Singh. Preserve this . 😊
How To Live & Die
I’ve often thought about what it is that makes people happy—what one has to do in order to achieve happiness.
1- First and foremost is good health. If you do not enjoy good health, you can never be happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will deduct something from your happiness.
2- Second, a healthy bank balance. It need not run into crores, but it should be enough to provide for comforts, and there should be something to spare for recreation—eating out, going to the movies, travel and holidays in the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be demoralising. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in one’s own eyes.
3- Third, your own home. Rented places can never give you the comfort or security of a home that is yours for keeps. If it has garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom, and cultivate a sense of kinship with them.
4- Fourth, an understanding companion, be it your spouse or a best friend. If you have too many misunderstandings, it robs you of your peace of mind. It is better to accept the differences than to be quarrelling all the time.
5- Fifth, stop envying those who have done better than you in life—risen higher, made more money, or earned more fame. Envy can be corroding; avoid comparing yourself with others.
6- Sixth, do not allow people to descend on you for gossip. By the time you get rid of them, you will feel exhausted and poisoned by their gossip-mongering.
7- Seventh, cultivate a hobby or two that will fulfill you—gardening, reading, writing, painting, playing or listening to music. Going to clubs or parties to get free drinks, or to meet celebrities, is a criminal waste of time. It’s important to concentrate on something that keeps you occupied meaningfully.
8- Eighth, every morning and evening devote 20 minutes to meditation or introspection. In the mornings, 10 minutes should be spent in keeping the mind absolutely still, and for listing the things you have to do that day. In the evenings, five minutes should be set aside to keep the mind still and 10 to go over the tasks you had intended to do.
9- Ninth, don’t lose your temper. Try not to be short-tempered, or vengeful. Even when a friend has been rude, just move on.
10- Above all, when the time comes to go, one should go like a Person without any regret or grievance against anyone.
A Sufi Tale: A merchant from Baghdad entered a Sufi’s shop, which had essence jars on the shelves. Marveling at the beauty of the place, he asked, “Sir, what is sold here?” The Sufi replied, “The gifts of God”.
The merchant was surprised with the answer, & asked, “And how much do they cost?” “Nothing, here all is for free”, said the Sufi, observing carefully, that the traveller could see the labels: “Jugs of Love”; “Jars of Faith”; “Packages of Hope”.
The merchant said, “A big jug of love, all the packages of hope & three jars of faith for me, my friends & my family”.
The Sufi carefully prepared the order & handed him a small box. Surprised, the merchant exclaimed, “But, but…. how can everything I have asked for, be in this tiny box?”
Smiling, the Sufi replied, “In God’s store, we do not sell fruits, only seeds. You have to sow them. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
When what you say And what you do Are congruent The effect of your words & deeds Radiates all around you in resonance.
It’s no wonder then that In a world that seems so dissonant Words and deeds need to synch. In harmony of such synchrony Faith and trust meet belief And that’s what makes all the difference.
