A true friend is there to support you if you fall.
Allow space for you to grow
Cheer you along the way
Take interest in your journey
Mean well for you
Stop you from self harm
Believe in you without a doubt
Yet dare to tell the truth to you.
Be with you so you are never alone.
Now think about it…
Are you your own best friend ?

There is great power in words…
To charm another,influence or drive a point home.
Engagement online can turn better on bitter in a split second.
It is all in the choice of words used to convey a message.Crossing the Culture Threshold!
What to one might be just a poetic expression
To another might be a glitch of discretion.
Express if one must
Feel free to feel the way you feel is the way to feel
But only as long as anothers peace you don’t unknowingly steal.
For at times in the surging words of emotion…
Arises unnecessary stress and discomfort.
Better to know the pause in the space between our steps
And value your edges in every move.
For in every positive step in discretion
There is simply the strength of trust without mention.
When I penned these lines they were specifically for driving the message home gently that no one can tread on another’s emotional space without permission especially online using the power and persuasion of words…
True respect for another being can simply be about letting others be.

Here is a beautiful forward that caught my eye.
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.
The beauty of a woman grows over the years ′′
Choose to focus on building than breaking
Choose to generate than disintegrate
Choose to see the hope than hopelessness.
Where and what is your focus on?
Focus on good choices,
As you clarify your intentions
In appreciation than criticism
You begin building bridges
Of hope in possibilities
You create hope than insecurities
Your focused positive approach
Yields you to do more, much much more!

In Laughter is the shedding
Of the spurious
A cleansing of the hearts
A bridging of joys in this now!
In laughter is the clearing
Of the burdens
A lightness of being
A healing of the spirits
For Laughter makes you sense
The happiness of this now!
Laugh a little more everyday!

It doesn’t matter if its the Army Navy or Airforce once in the forces you are always ready with a Salute!
You can take a man out of the army
But can not take the army out of him!
Humour in Uniform indeed!

Sharing a fun forward that came my way!
One day a Colonel from the Army, fell into a well. The soldiers would throw a rope into the well and pull the Colonel out. The moment the Colonel would come up, the soldiers would leave the rope snap to attention and salute. The Colonel would fall back into the well. This happened many times.
Someone suggested that a Brigadier be requested for help-because HE wouldn’t have to salute the Colonel. So one Brigadier arrived. He threw the rope into the well and the Colonel grabbed it. The Brigadier began pulling the rope. As soon as the Colonel reached the top of the well, he spotted the Brigadier. He immediately left the rope and saluted. And he fell back once more, into the well.
There was total silence. Then everyone heard the desperate Colonel’s voice from down below
*”You idiots – get hold of a batch mate !!”*
MORAL OF THE STORY: Batchmates ARE important ! They can save your life!

I particularly liked this quote I came across recently…
“Smile more than you cry, Give more than you take, and Love more than you Hate.”
– Drake

Will simply add…
In Laughter you nourish yourself
In Generosity you replenish your world .
In love you nurture, nature in and around you!

We are connected
In the Infinite tapestry
Of life and living.
As we dance with life in gratitude
We gradually, sense the strength
In the circle of conscious connections.

Life at times can be both wondrous and mundane.
The attitude we choose to wear over our senses decides if we wish to find the joy in the things we do .
And in the world that we sense around us, we create …
We become what we choose to see and be!
Have a wonderful day!

Nature of harmony is healing.
Soothing sounds of the gentle waves
Ease the inner recesses of the mind.
Greenery growing in synchrony
In spite of the abandonment of the wilderness,
Calms the body and mind.
The refreshing smell of the first rain
Is truly invigorating to the spirit.
All of nature when in balance
Is a dance of harmony.
Align to this harmony.
Sense the joy of the interconnection.
Step into your harmonious self.

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.

Every horizon once reached
It reveals another
Beckoning at a distance…
Horizon is born of hope
Of the beyond in this now.
Horizon are meant to hope
To aspire to reach beyond
In the yonder across the horizon
Where the sky converges…
Is a matter of knowing
There is always more
Of natures grace.
Such is the abundance
Of unending hope.

Creativity
Is at its best
In making sense
Of the complexity.
Think simple
To create clarity.
A countless ideas
May arrive at once.
Bounce them off.
Let your thoughts
Streamline itself
In the flow
Allow it to settle
Then make a choice
Pay attention
Pick the ones
That fits in
Work on them
To unclutter somemore
Until it makes perfect sense.
Simplicity is common sense.
Let your creativity
Simplify life.
