Speaking of opposites at play
Between the expansion and contractions.. Between the conflicts and clarity
The dance of the heart and mind goes on
Only to meet somewhere midway in peace
And adjusts itself in the circle of life.
After all there is a place and space
For every manifestation
Somehow everything aligns in the flow

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

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.

Dancing lights
Shimmering Christmas lights play on water ever so gently creating a moment worth a capture.
Waltz of lights on the water….

Wisdom in the challenges
Is in being the balance
Between action and inaction
Between movement and stillness
Between doing and non doing
And in this state of being
Awakening the truth of life& living
Between the more and the less
Between attachments & detachment
Realize the bliss of fulfiment
Realize the ease
In the letting go…

Journey on until you meet yourself
For embedded along the path
Of many echelons of time
Life leaves imprints in the living.
There will be many experiences
That makes your soul cry
Out in pain and pleasures
Of sensing connections
Beyond this lifetime.
Journey on nevertheless
For in meeting the many
Moments that seem enmeshed with you
You are closer to yourself
In the travelling along
Comes moments that seems
To speak straight to the heart
Of the truth of your being.
All turns familiar, there is deja vu
And you know the scenario only too well
For you know you have been right here.
All else is immaterial and immaculate.
You won’t need any guidance
Then as you partake the joy
Of this meeting with this being
You know you have found your self.

To a true artist
The medium is immaterial
Everything is association
The elements converge
Every thing connects
Subtlety emerges distinctly
Dancing to the winds of change
Inner motivation leads the way
To find meaningful expressions
In the myriad manifestations
Even in the seemingly banal existence
Creativity sparks from everywhere.
Such is state of fractal flow
Of Art & Artistry.
But then is there a true or fake artist?
For beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
And possibilities of creativity infinite
Art is a moment of reckoning
Of acknowledgement and appreciation
Evoking critical responses & feedbacks
In support or diversity of emotions
Forming new patterns in the experiences
Invoking the spirit of creation
Once more…

As the year comes to a close only to begin anew… a special thanks to all the people who send inspirations our way by their profound shares.
Recently my friend Christoph retweeted this post on Twitter commenting…
‘As above so below’
And it drew me to contemplate on the profound truths of reflections in rootedness of life and its myriad expressions.
Of the uncanny resemblance of the roots, branches in a tree to the nerves and vertebrae of mamals including man.
Of how our energy is a flow of potential endless patterns in possibilities.
Of reflections of resounding resonance in nature
Of infinite abundance in its manifestations
Of parallel dimensions & more beyond compare
In the spaces between the synapses
There is a plethora of profound truths
Awaiting our awareness
So much to explore and discover!
As above so is below
As outward so is within
Vast beyond belief
In faith and hope
Everything is envisioned..

Thanking the past for the precious lessons of life and lets emerge as wiser and brighter and stronger than ever before while embracing the present in conscious awareness !🙏

“Your dreams will manifest when your effort is always directed towards the larger good…than just personal success.
Cos then the universe powers your dreams to reality . Think before you act “

Your deepest beliefs
Can make or break you
Understand you come from abundance
You are blessed with uniqueness
Your uniqueness is beyond compare
When you are aware of this truth
You shine from where you are!
This simple truth sets you free
Beyond preconceived notions
Beyond perceptions and prejudices
Liberating you from doubts & assumptions
To be all that you can truly be!
Savvy
If we are ready to explore
Beyond our limited existence
We begin to envision our potential
If we are ready to receive
We learn some more!
Our paths are unique in every now
And limitless are our possibilities
We are meant to evolve along the way
Such is the way of life
And yet …
We are all a work in progress
We cannot know it all
There is always room for more
Change is the only constant
While nature is abundant
Knowing is finite
Yet infinite are the possibilities!
