Life is precious
And so are relationships
Remember, gentle is the way
When you walk with another
There is much you do not know
You never know the hidden truths
For some wounds are deep and invisible.
So walk gently, care sincerely live lovingly

There is always a reason
We know not yet
Trust life to deliver
Know life is a puzzle
Every piece fits perfectly eventually
Keep your faith alive
And celebrate the life you have
In this now

One of my favorite quotes:
“Tomorrow I’ll think of some way… after all, tomorrow is another day.
Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind
This post is a dedication to a hopeful spirit.
No matter the calamities
No matter the challenges that come along…
In moments of deep despair
Know there is light around the corner
When the night turns dark
Know the dawn awaits full of light
Keep the faith & trust there is always more
In the infinite abundance
When one door closes
Another opens they say!
Keep the hope alive in your heart
And trust the magic of new beginnings💙

Give life everything you’ve got, and life will give its best back to you.
Trust life to deliver
Everything at the right moment
But most of all
Believe in your life
Believe in yourself!

A little bit of freetime and a mobile phone art app in your hand can make the moments come alive…
I started to paint the screen with all my favorite colors… but then somehow somewhere in between I sensed a face pop and I continued to sketch away at leisure and found a face staring righton .
Now the face was somewhat serious and I just could not gel with that, as the moment was anything but that, so I just had to play with my fingers on the screen just a bit and lo and behold that face was more appealing to me now.
It’s a work in progress…Yes I could have gone on refining this piece,there is a lot of room for it, but somewhere I just stopped adding more to it ,perhaps I might pick it up in posterity and paint some more.
P.s Must mention I used no stylus, just my fingers for this one. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece of art.
How did you like my mobile art ?
Which face resonates with you today?

How intuitive are you?
Do u sense the subtlety
In nature and its mystical ways
Of sending signs and symbols your way?
For you to understand perspectives
Beyond assumptions & notions
To create an insightful vision
Of the unfolding realms
Of the possibilities in the potential.
There is always a reason
Why you are gifted with intuitive intellect.
Consider ways to use it for goodwill
Think larger, widen your perspectives
For the world at large
Can you use this subtlety of knowing
And leave heartprints of Serendipity?

Value of power of peace within you…
Today in this moment
Are you ready
To partner with peace
Do you have the power
Of a grateful heart
That knows to live light
And waltz in harmony with life!

Peace begins in our hearts
In our actions in awareness
Peace spreads its wings
Unfolding its magic
Interspersing the seeds of peace
In the hearts of humans
When we embrace ourselves
With all our conflicts and chaos
With our inexplicable challenges
We embrace the peace
Already deeply embedded within
In between and betwixt
The rest and movement
Peace regenerates itself
In the middle path
Peace finds its balance.
In the path of Equanimity

Sharing thoughts close to my heart…
On Love
“Realizing the many miracles of life is also in knowing love that can move the soul of our being. We can consider ourselves lucky to even have been touched by a love like that!”

Throwback to last week when I recorded a demo and forgot about it
Shown here is one of the riskiest parts of the process — removing myself from the fragile balance without disturbing it.
In order to balance something like this, I usually need to basically wrap my body around it while sitting and building.. using knees to hug / stabilize the lower section(s) like a scaffold. But once I find zero, I need to remove my body without causing the structure to collapse.. on my body.. it’s when I’m most vulnerable.
But as seen here, I keep my gaze firmly on the structure while maneuvering my body away. It’s like a weird hyper focus where I’m spatially entranced on the relative positions of the rocks, and if any data point deviates from the whole, I have maybe a second to react before it becomes dangerous, especially for my left hand here which is planted on the stump I was sitting on, hoisting my body away.. if that top decides to fall on that hand, bones would likely break… not a situation where I can afford to break focus.
Some self removals are easier than others — it really just depends on a firm hold for my right hand behind me, the sensitivity of the structure itself, and what the wind is doing..

This post made me think further on
The Art of Self Removal
In any creation
The creator is inextricably
Interweaved in the tapestry of creation
And yet the Creator detaches the self
To step away from the creation
Distinguishing the completion
Of one phase of the creation
For it to begin it’s own journey of being

This is a must read true incident share…
“I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognise you and thank you once again.”
When Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember made you a happiest man in life?”
Femi said:
“I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realised that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs.
But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot winning.
I felt REAL joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.
I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said:
“I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognise you and thank you once again.”
What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
How about trying to touch lives and make a positive difference in our own individual ways?.
Carry yourself lightly
On the wings of hope
Let go of worries
Stay free of burdens
Care to let go…
Life is simpler in taking oneself lightly 🙂

The Antwerpen Christmas Market is spread out over several streets and squares lighting up the entire historical centre of Antwerp beautifully into a huge and happening zone to stroll around in…
Glowing in the night!
Beating the winters chill
Sitting by warm fire pits…
Sipping hot glühwein!
And the mistletoe?
Well its no small branch
But a giant one indeed!
Fit for all the crowd that gather under
Just to share their love for each other….💞

On beliefs
Irony of cognition
As long as our beliefs are taking us through
We are comfortable
But if our beliefs, blur our vision
We are confounded
We become guarded
And want to protect our opinions
Even if they are erring
In fact we are most hostile
When we are aware deep within
How wrong we actually are !
Rather than allowing ourselves to evolve
We step in our own way of growth
Becoming mental contortionists
Twisting and turning
With the assumptions & notions of truth
Until we find an angle that upholds
Our current views.
Our beliefs can be our strength as much as our weaknesses. In allowing ourselves to accept something new or different to what we are used to or expect, we begin to open up our minds and hearts.
Think about your own beliefs, are there moments where you were challenged by your own beliefs,
Were there times when you feel that some of your own beliefs need a thinkover?
Often we assume we are totally in the know and believe it to be so like a frog in the well.
Yet the truth shows up differently from these illusions we live in, and then we realize how far away from the truth we actually are!
There is always more…
Possibilities in the infinity
So much more to learn
So much more to discover
So much more to explore
So much more to know…

Bruges’ is an absolutely fascinating fairytale kind of town,and at night, under the moonlight, it’s magical atmosphere intensifies.
A canal trip in the Reie named after the river Roya totally worth it.
