A Face

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?

Heartprints of Serendipity

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?

Partner with peace

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!

Path of Equanimity

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

A love like that!

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!”

Art of Self Removal

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

Discount not your self doubt

Many a times
We find doubts
Are getting in the way
Of our reaching for success

We feel stressed & strained
By uncertainty & doubts
We fear our own strengths
We think we will cave in

Discount  not your self doubt

For it helps you grow
It makes you open up to new learnings
It encourages you to seek insights
It keeps you from complacency.

Your self doubt is an internal switch
That ignites intuitively from within
To rebalance  your running mind.
It helps you revise your strategies

When ego threatens, to trip you over
Your self doubt levels the playing field
It implores you to listen more
Learn more and share more.

Your self doubt can be your ally
In moments which need humility
In moments needing a rethinking
Care to give yourself the benefit of doubt.

Live light!

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 🙂

Travel Trails Antwerp

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….💞

Life lessons

Second standard teacher started writing tables on the blackboard.
The whole class started laughing as she started writing because the first line was written wrong.
1×9=7, ❌
2×9=18, ✔
3×9=27, ✔
4×9=36, ✔
5×9=45, ✔
6×9=54 ✔
7×9=63 ✔
8×9=72 ✔
9×9=81 ✔
10×9=90 ✔
The teacher was waiting patiently till their laughter stopped.
I know, I have written the first line wrong. I wanted to teach an important life lesson on how this world will treat you.
I have written 9 lines correct here. None of you noticed that. But you all noticed the one line which was wrong and started laughing at me.
This is how the world will treat you. Even if you do things correctly for a thousand times, none will notice or praise you.
But when you go wrong even for one time they will notice and start criticising to ridicule you.
But you all should never get discouraged. Instead put your full effort to stand tall and firm in front of those who laughed at you, criticised you, or ridiculed you.

Another translation by my mother Anjana from a tamil forward

At ease

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

 

Journey on until you meet yourself

For embedded along the path

Of many echelons of time,

Life leaves imprints on the living.

 

There will be many experiences

That would make your soul cry

Out in pain and pleasure,

Sensing connections

Beyond this lifetime.

 

Journey on, nevertheless,

For in meeting the many

Moments that may seem enmeshed with you,

You will be closer to yourself.

 

In travelling along

Come moments that seem

To speak straight to the heart

Of the truth of your being.

 

All is familiar, there is déjà vu.

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 guide

Then as you partake in the joy

Of this meeting with this being

You know you have found yourself.

Artistry



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…
