Just Listen

I surrendered myself

to the moment

and then in a flash

felt it injecting

tons of joy boosters

into my veins

each tiny peck

clinging to the other..

tenderly

caressing each other

once they were all inside me...

began to create a beautiful mosaic

incomparable

magical...musical

and I could listen ...

yes I could listen to

the beats of love.. sprouting

from the tiny tree of life

in my heart...

wowness... bringing

a smile to my eyes

...wider than sky

and bliss was all over me!!

and I embraced it all !!

UNSHAKABLE

 Henosis is the amalgamated world of two artists,

 combining their unique styles to bring forth a new dimension of morphed reality.

I love to draw and paint

 the themes that are unusual and off the beat.

Now what do you say 

when you hear from Henosis 

that they are holding an exhibition

 and the theme is 

"22 ways to Kill your Boss"

 I know you already have that smile on your face and tightened fists.

Why 22 ? Because 22 artists were chosen to display their emotions :)

Now since I do not have a conventional boss 

and I am my own boss...

I was in a fix but then

 I immediately realised

 that in the recent past 

certain negative people and 

negative situations have acted quite bossy on me

and I have managed to overcome 

those without harming a soul

 and by managing my anger in a quieter way.

In no time I decided what I wanted to show through my art.

So here is a glimpse 

of the opening night on the 5th of June

for all of you to enjoy !!

I called my painting UNSHAKABLE and here is a short description of what I wanted to show

"I am constantly on a mission to eliminate all sorts of energy vampires around me.

 Now they may be people with negative frame of mind or situations 

but I have taken a pledge to be just me…

a happy, calm, composed, compassionate and peaceful person at heart. 

I would never ever sacrifice my own positive thoughts

 which I treat as my most valuable possession 

and be a slave to such dysfunctional mindsets

 and will keep reflecting the same through my artistic endeavors.

“I will not allow anyone to walk through my mind with their dirty feet”…as is so truly said by Gandhi ji. Through a simple maneuver involving free will and choice, 

I have learnt how to deploy my own thoughts 

to break through limitations,

 turn failure into success,

 and activate my own healing powers.

 The negative, discouraging forces around me continue to show their powers

 but then in spite of these provocative negative forces

 I will continue to stay positive, poised and peaceful."


        ...and here is my piece....

So this is my way of the 22 ...

do let me know

what would you do !!

Dance...Love...Sing...Live !

A lover asked his beloved, 

Do you love yourself more 

than you love me? 

 The beloved replied, 

I have died to myself

and I live for you.

I've disappeared from myself

and my attributes.

I am present only for you.

I have forgotten all my learnings,

but from knowing you

I have become a scholar.

I have lost all my strength,

but from your power

I am able.

If I love myself

I love you.

If I love you
I love myself.

Street Night Art...Cosmic Adventure

Have I brought a smile to your lips ??

Are you feeling all Arty ??

I am sure ...you are feeling all recharged and happy at heart :)

After a few experiences

this week

I have had some great learning

and now

I am investing in my JOYFULNESS  !!!

Yes I am determined now

 to dare...

to dream...

and meet my heart's longing !

I will risk

looking like a fool

for my passion...

for my dream ...

for the adventure of being alive !

I will dance

 with wildness...

and let the joy fill me

to my tips and my toes !!

I will shatter my fears

 and celebrate 

each day 

my little victories!!

Yes I am determined 

to clean out toxic influences 

that diminish my happiness

and will march forward

making each day an absolute best day in my life!!

I designed this zentangled piece for VOSS water lately !

and I just love what I wrote for there...

"Keep wearing that SPARKLE in your eyes !! "

My patterns just kept flowing 

one after the other while I was doing this piece 

simply...

freely...

generously...

and this is how I wish to write the story of my life

without letting anyone else hold the pen !!

Wishing you all a sparkling day ahead :)

Somewhere over the rainbow...

                                                Ooo oooooo oooooo oooo ooo ooo ooo
                                                              Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Ooo ooo ooo

Ooo ooo ooo

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,

And the dreams that you dreamed of,

Once in a lullaby.

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow,

blue birds fly, And the dreams that you dreamed of,

Dreams really do come true.

Someday, I'll wish upon a star,

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where trouble melts like lemon drops,

High above the chimney top,

That's where you'll find me.

Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,

And the dreams that you dare to.

Oh why, oh why can't I?

Someday, I'll wish upon a star,

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where trouble melts like lemon drops,

High above the chimney tops,

That's where you'll find me.

Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,

And the dreams that you dare to,

Oh why, oh why can't I?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Ooo ah, ah, ah... eh ah ah, eh ah ah ah ah...

An awesome song that I recently heard....the more I listen to this ...the more my heart smiles.

Do listen !

Tracy my friend, this is for you :) I salute for who you are !!

A date with graffiti :)

Hi friends

Last few days have been amazingly arty   :)

I had a date with graffiti :)

Yes I grabbed the opportunity to attend

 a workshop held by two graffiti artists 

Ruben Sanchez and eL Seed

 here at The Archive in Al Safa Park.

Enjoyed every bit of it !!

You can very well see this in the photos here :)

 

Now that was absolute fun
 and look at the colors vibrant and
 emitting so much positive energy !!

Hope you all are having fun too....
busy in and out making preparations for
Christmas and New Year !


Now this is what is on my table...

"Some day our souls will be one
And our union will last forever.
I know that everything I give
Comes back to me.
So I give you my life,
Hoping that you will come back to me."
......Rumi

Much love to all of you...may the spirit of the season bring you new joys :)
