“May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.
May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows,
And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder.”
A beautiful American Indian Cherokee Blessing that someone sent across to me. Thank you my friend wherever you are … đ This I share with all my friends here today.
On Black and White Artistry
Black and white may be excluded
From the family of colours.
But the tints, tones & shades
Find a family of their own….
In the enigmatic monochrome
And the elegance they exude
Borders on sheer simplicity
And dares on the utter sophistication.
In a world of colours that we may see
Using tonal contrast creates drama
Using light to capture textures.
Form and shape makes a difference.
Devoid of distractions of colours
Evocative captures, quality of lighting
Shifts focus on the ethereal elements
And accentuates the light and shadows.
Black and white photography
Flatters in a timeless way
At times it elevates, the subjects beauty
Creating an enigmatic dimension.
Presenting my artwork above
Titled : Chakra (Wheel ) above that felt right to me…
Only in monochromatic elegance
Of Black & White shades and tones.

In throwing off the apparition
Removing the mask of illusion.
Fighting off the facades in the making.
Baring open the simple truth of the soul
Lays bare the beauty of transparency,
In spite of the rawness of being.
There is the irrefutable truth of life and living.
Stark reality does not need to conspire
For everything is out in the open
No masking no faking, no facades
All is what it is.
In forging of a bond mutually
A relationship can thrive
In being truly accessible as much, as in accountability.
While barriers need to break through.
Honesty wins when transparency triumphs
Secrets out of the closet reveals a forthcoming forthrightness.
Trust regains its place in the sun.
There is disarming beauty when one speaks in truth and honesty.
Transparency in speech and actions make vulnerability its strength.
That is the triumph of transparency.

My Artwork : Fire on Ice.
Icy crystal crags turn to crimson hues.
Burning bright and fiery red
Lava river gushing forth
Peaked only by the crackling sounds of Ice on Fire
While the blazing river of molten snow
Flows on until it’s time to freeze its own flame.
The final countdown is just the same
Elements behave true to their form
And all is well back to base.
And time and life moves on beyond remorse
For Nature too is in no hurry to race
It takes its own shape and course
To begin to flow again at its own pace.
