I was a little kid when I first came across this beautiful word Aurora …and then I read about the Polar Lights and was truly fascinated.
Back then I read as much as I could find in books before the age of the internet.
For many of us so far away from the poles this is often impossible to imagine beyond a blue sky… let alone the dancing lights.
Resharing this poem which is a dedication to Nature’s dance in the sky… all in the depth of my awe & fascination.
Spectre of brilliance
An opera in the sky
A dance of dazzling lights
Of colours flashing through.
Luminescent beyond compare
Magical spectacle of brilliance in the flow
An undulating waltz in the yonder
An unveiling of earth’s myriad wonders.
Such an ethereal vision
Mystical northern lights
Unbelievable, unforgettable
Awesomeness beyond mere words.
We are Magical beings in the flow Such is the truth of creation Yet often we are blinded by our own self Clouding our minds with density Of thoughts and doubts For we are so full of ourselves Our illusory pride and prejudices Out assumed notions and convictions. That we forget we are part of the infinite abundance. With immense potential in the possibilities.
If only we can believe In our being and choose to trust In the purpose of our being. Acknowledge with awareness The spirit of life and living Choosing to thrive in the flow. Learning to allow and accept The unfolding cosmic patterns By stepping out of our own way!
We explore it in unique ways Some of us lookup at the sky Admiring the infinite vastness Of spaces above and beyond
Some of us look down at the ground Preferring to dig deep into nature To witness the foundation of living Exploring the very roots of the life
Some choose to dream and envision What might be, in hope for the morrow Some sit in stillness witnessing their breath Knowing all the truths of life is within.
Some prefer to dance with life In this now as it unfolds Accepting nature as it appears Preferring to make best of its moments.
There are few gifts Of life in the living Like joy of laughter Like the happiness of smiles Like the sharing of loving kindness Like sensing of gratitude
They add to your life They heal your being Body mind and Soul. The more you have it And live expressing it The better the health of your heart.
A good thought A good deed A good laugh And all is well In the lightness of being.
I listened to my heart Every day As it shares from within And I write them out as words Sometimes as verses At times its measured In moderation. Its a zen moment For there is clarity In just a few words shared.
Then there are times
They flow like a river A torrent in a current Patterning itself In its own making Words come through me As if it needs to be spoken Sharing the sensitivity Of the moments at hand. I listen simply with rapt attention For in the slightest flutter In every movement in the moments Or the depth of silence There is wisdom in the stillness.
Why this Prejudice… Of running life down Of praising one gender Of shaming one another
Why these violations… Of human life Of dignity? Of personal freedom
Why these exploitations… Of weak by strong? Of bullying And aggressions.
Life is meant to live To express itself For itself! Its not born to be at mercy! What makes one life Assume superiority And think it has power Over the other?
Let practice respect for one another Then teach children To respect the differences And acknowledge the diversities.
Our pride and prejudices Have only caused war and illwill Let us share empathy & goodwill And let go our hatred and malices
Let us not discriminate Every colour is beautiful to see Every life has a reason to be Just as you and me.
Hello my dear readers, Every day for three consecutive days I have been sharing one of my own paintings from my Artworks Collection.
Here is my Painting share on Day 3:
Please write the first 3 words that come to mind the moment you see it
Every painting has been shared without the title. I would love to understand what your meaning is for the painting. The next day I will reveal my original title and intentions for the painting.
Lets together see if what I have tried depicting through my painting has reached you. Or better still you may have your own interpretation which I would love to read. Pls do share.
My painting share on Day 2 is
Titled : Vortex
Random impressions in the expression.
Signifying the dance of thoughts in the space creating a vortex through the patterns formed in the dynamics of the flow.
Deeply appreciate the amazing creativity that flowed from all of you for this post.
What was quite unique was how many attributed this to flames and fire . I suppose it had much to do with the color red. It was beautiful to acknowledge that every word you used to describe the painting sets off on a serious of trajectories in contemplation showing the vividity of our unique thoughts.
I look forward to reading your words on today’s artwork.
