A picture that is open to so many interesting interpretations…
Is this a stairway to heaven
The path that sets you free
Steps that lead the way
To the light of eternal truth
Your life is given to you
A knowing is bestowed upon you
In hope that you will seek
And find the truth of your being.
All answers are within you
To sense and understand
Life is both hell and heaven if you wish.
All it needs is a stairway to the within.
In the rigours of life and living
Find those moments that move you beyond simply existing!
Search not the whole world over
In confusion and chaos over the emerging illusions.
For in all the facade of perceptions
The truth is simple and visible
If you choose to actually notice.
Seek if you must
The truth of your own life.
The purpose of your own being.
Choose to be responsible.
To acknowledge the wonder you are
Make friends with your inner self.
Treat it with care and consideration
Align your thoughts and action.
You will soon find within yourself
The stairway to the heaven in you!
Treat yourself well
And treat others equally well!
Be true to your word
For both matter a whole lot
Value your sense of self esteem
But value another’s right to theirs.
True integrity lies in…
Practicing one’s own preaching
Being nice is not a weakness
Worry not a loss of control
For a little consideration
Goes a long long way
Let there be dignity of being
As it makes it easier to reach out
No one is an island
Every one is necessary and important
For who they are and deeply entwined
In the grand plan of life .
Be mindful and conscious
Of what you feel and say.
Be aware of what comes your way
And steer clear of the unnecessary.
Stay true to who you are
For you are best at being you
For Integrity speaks from deeds not words
Make sure your actions justify your words
And sense the calm you feel in your heart
And watch the ease of being when with another
All it needs is a little care and concern
For the world in and around you!
Savvy
Across the distant horizon resplendent in all its radiant hues sun shines on its blessings and bejewels the sky. The leaves unfurl themselves a little bit more, with strength and energy and basking with confidence in its radiance. So glad the bitter cold of the night has moved away, they glide lovingly content in this moment that glows with warmth!
The buds awaken themselves and bloom willingly only to reveal their astoundingly tender beauty. And soulfully they turn seeking the brilliance of the magnificent sun …catch them dancing the dance of beauty and grace that’s shimmering in its rays…Maybe they know well the time they have with the sun is precious and know they must live it with all their might and behold it’s a breath-taking sight !
Who better to seek to understand the preciousness of time …. to understand the wisdom of time than from a tender flower a midst its unabashed beauty!
While embellishments adorn the art in the artistry
The message conveyed well, even in the simplest form
Adds the depth of authenticity to the story telling.
The genius is in the ingenuity
In the portrayal of the abstracts
With an intuitive intellect of insights
All in the astute acumen of innovation.
Art can be both joyful and painstaking in the process…
To cast and carve, chiselling away
Towards the finesse of the elusive perfection.
All is but a masterstroke of the creative touch.
An ode to artistry
I must thank this unknown artist in the clip who created this beautiful depiction of the festival of Pongal celebration in South India.Watching this video clip made me write a few dedicated verses on the art and flair of thecreative touch.
