To me…
Painting is an iterative journey
Full of surprises in the flow
Something to stumble upon
To follow on & find meaning.
In letting go of the control
You begin to see the guidance
Forming in the impressions
Sometimes subtle or strong
As the brush moves on canvas
Leaving imprints of colours
Patterning itself in a narrative
Creating a purpose for itself.
Painting is a tool in trusting
In faith, in the discovery
Shaping itself through you
Bridging beyond in the now.

Today I came across this interesting proverb.
If a man fools me once, shame on him. If he fools me twice, shame on me. ~ Chinese Proverb
It makes me think a little more…
How much of experiences does one need to help learn from making mistakes?
Till we use our mistakes as stepping stones to success.
If there is a surefire way to surf through life without issues…
It is in the ability to take the self lightly!
To realise what seems like a big issue today may seem very insignificant in time.
How much does one depend on the armour of God to help in tiding through lifes crisis?
In sensing that faith is all there is…
There is a knowing that there is always hope beyond despair.
How can we learn to see through the facades?
In understanding that there is more to seeing beyond the looking.
How can we protect ourselves from being conned?
In trusting the self before all else!
Does loneliness or loss and the ensuing vulnerability make one a target or a victim?
It depends on ones perspective of life .
For in the loneliness there is a opportunity for self awareness
And our strengths can emanate from our vulnerabilities.
How to keep the spirit calm, collected & contented ?
In witnessing the world while breathing deeply and bringing our awareness to the now…
And how can we learn to take responsibility for our errors of judgment?
In knowing we have the power of choice with us! And remember to think well and choose equally well!.

A state of coexistence
With ourselves and the world
Where we can nurture our best potential
Towards transformations
That envisions beyond compare.

Trust…
There are summers, full of fun
And more spring times, to come.
There is the beauty of mountains to envision
And snow times to chill…
Our days are yet to unravel
Countless sights of beautý to savour
Evenings to dance to some great country music.
And there is the beckonning of starry nights yet to behold …
While there will be days of thunder and lightning.
Till the storms pass on and the sun is shining
It is truly amazing when the simple love for life
And a lttle bit of hope pulls us through …
So its truly a long kiss to goodnight.
Savvy
From my verses…Hope is here to stay!
Patience awaits
In faith and belief.
Patience is understanding
For patience hones itself
For suitable moments.
Patience is non-judgemental.
Patience bears the burden
Of the moments,
Knowing the power of time.
Patience is resilience in action.
Patience is strength of the spirit.
Patience speaks volumes for the soul,
Without a word or a deed.
Such is the wisdom of patience
For much is resolved in patience.
A true companion for wisdom is patience, and a lot of life’s so-called situations that need solutions can be resolved by thinking differently!
Savvy
Love heals like no other
A good measure of love
Is the best antidote
To the grieving heart
True love is accommodating
Without force & compulsion
It’s ever-expansive and inclusive
Love spreads messages of hope
Kindles goodwill in aching hearts
Age no matter love springs forth enthusiasm for life and living
Such is the power of love!
Savvy
In being proved wrong
We learn something new
What if we celebrate the learning
Than criticize making mistakes
For mistakes are an error of judgement.
It is already happened, in the past
What matters is what we make of it
Are we ready to accept our mistakes?
Are we ready to learn from it to move on?
After all instead of fussing over mistakes,
Let’s be receptive to being wrong.
And care to imbibe a new perspective
For then we can be a little less wrong now🙏

Gratitude creates a steady stream of abundance into your life.
When you offer thanks for the many wonderful things that come into your life,
You merge with the limitless power of the cosmos…
GRATITUDE is a GREAT ATTITUDE to have!
Power of one candle to light the darkness
Power of one tree to give shade
Power in one smile to change the mood
Power of one hand to feed the hungry
Power of one kind word to change hearts
Power of one heart to ignite hope in the world
Power of one touch to lift the soul
Just one heartfelt move… makes all the difference!
Creativity flourishes in moving beyond the box stepping out of the emerging collages in the interpretation, time and time again.
Every creative endeavour is rooted in a dance of the energy within and around us … the dynamics of integration embodies the creative output.
Savvy
Life is precious
Hearts sacred
Rhythms divine
Kindness humane
And in these interconnects
All is truly well & miraculous
Savvy
If only we could realize how valuable it is to be appreciated and supported .
If we could only know how important it is to feel inclusive in our diverse ways.
We must understand that love and kindness is the only way besides adopting a non-judgmental approach.
We must realise how vulnerable life is, but beyond feeling victimized and create further suffering due to negative thoughts
We need to respond with empathy, show unity through kindness and compassionate deeds.
The power of kindness is truly infinite.
KINDNESS IS THE PRAYER IN ACTION.

Titled: Interconnectedness
We are unique beings
With our own mind& body
Yet if we are to wonder…
How much of who you are
Is in all authenticity you
And how much is another’s perspective
Just all mixed up with yours?
The truth is that we are deeply influenced
In the interconnections of life and living
Every thing we see and do
We are intersecting and interweaving with others
So much so that what they like or hate
May becomes yours in belief in the influences.
Nothing is yours or others any more
Such is the transparency in living
That we are truly closer to ourselves
In realizing the profoundness of life itself
As it manifests in the mirroring
Of intentions arising in the imagination
Of illusions in the sensing
I am another you…
For after we are reflections in the resonance
