The Muse…
One must give himself completely
To his art and not hold back.
Throw caution to the
Wind.
Embrace the muse.

Apply Within…
You once told me
You wanted to find
Yourself in the world –
And I told you to
First apply within,
To discover the world
within you.
You once told me
You wanted to save
The world from all its wars –
And I told you to
First save yourself
From the world,
And all the wars
Through.
( words : APPLY WITHIN by Suzy Kassem” )
Grey Visage…
“ There is mystery behind that masked grey visage
, and ancient life force, delicate and mighty,
awesome and enchanted, commanding the silence
ordinarily reserved for mountain peaks,
great fires, and the sea.”
~ ` ~ Peter Matthiessen
Natya…(dance)
There will be no wisdom, no learning,
no art, nor craft, no device,
nor action that is not found within
natya.
~ ` ~ Sage Bharatha, Natya Shastra
Let’s Pause…
Too often in life we pass by
Important things.
Let’s pause, change perspective &
See things more clearly.

In Rhythm…
Find yourself always…
In rhythm…
Even if you go out
Of step…
Come back again
…remember to fall in line again…
Remain with nature…
Move on…
(Words:Osho )
Let go…
When I finally learned to let go of
having to totally control everything
around me and let my life unfold,
I was stunned by the results…
~ ` ~ Geri Larkin
Breathe in…
Breathe in with the deep awareness that you are a
human being.
Then breathe out and touch the earth,
a non-man element, as your mother.
Visualize the streams of water beneath the Earth’s
surface.
See the minerals .See our Mother Earth, the Mother of
us all.
Then bring your arms up and breathe in again, touching the
trees, flowers, fruits, birds, squirrels, air and sky– the
non-elements.
When your head is touching the air, the sun, the moon,
the galaxies, the cosmos–non-man elements that have
come together in order to make man possible–you see
that all of the elements are coming into you to make your
being possible.
Breathing in again, stretch your arms and be aware that you also penetrate other
elements.
Man helps make the other elements possible.
( Words : Thich Nhat Hanh )
Sparkle…
I am pretty sure that
when we sparkle
individually, we
Heal + shine
collectively.

Wishing you all a happy &peaceful

Heart seeks…
From the clamor of crowds I flee,
my heart seeks
The kind of silence that would
mesmerize speech itself.
~ ` ~ An Urdu poem
To heal…
Connect with nature..”silence the mind”
&the soul will know what to do
to heal itself…
The soul always knows what to do
to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.
~ ` ~ Caroline myss
Healing doesn’t mean the damage never
existed.
It means the damage no longer controls
our lives.
~ ` ~ Akshay Dubey
Healing yourself is connected
with healing
others.
~ ` ~ Yoko Ono
Anything covered up
won’t get
healed…
It has been said “time heals “all wounds.
I do not agree.The wounds remain.
In time , the mind , protecting the sanity , covers
them with scar tissue & the pain lessens.
but it is never gone.
~ ` ~ Rose Kennedy
As soon as healing takes place.
go out & heal somebody else.
~ ` ~ Maya Angelou
Mourning is love with
no place to go…
We do not heal the past by dwelling
there; we heal the past by living fully
in the present.
~ ` ~ Marianne Williamson
some days the memories still
knock the wind out of
me…
Not all scars show
not all wounds heal
sometimes you can’t
always see the pain’
someone else feels…
Your own healing is a powerful
contribution to the healing of
everyone…
When you can tell your story &
it doesn’t make you cry, you
know you have healed…
They say time heals all wounds , but
that presumes the source of the
grief is finite.
~ ` ~ Cassandra Clare
Sometimes your heart needs
more time to accept what
your mind already knows…
Soul menders…
The way of these gentle giants..
&
how they heal us are
mysterious…
They are some of the most
accomplished
&
accessible
healers we may
ever
meet…
there is power that resides
in the heart of
a
species…
that..is
exponentially
higher than ..the power of any
individual…
The desire to know your
soul
will end all
other desires.
~ ` ~ Rumi
My soul is my
guide.
~ ` ~ Rumi
( words adapted from; “Animals as healers “.. pictures taken at Kaziranga national park,India )
A Soul’s journey…
Art is the journey of
a
free soul.
~ ` ~ Alev Oguz
take your journey
change your body
find your
soul
U don’t have a soul
you are a soul
You have a body
~ ` ~ C.S Lewis
Quiet the mind
&
the soul will
speak
~ ` ~ Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
In a world where
everyone wears a
mask,
It’s a privilege to see
a soul.
~ ` ~ Anon
You have a
soul…
Art…
Art is both love and friendship and
understanding:
the desire to give.
It is not charity, which is the giving
of things.
It is more than kindness, which is
the giving of self.
It is both taking and giving of beauty, the turning
out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness
of the spirit.
It is the recreation on another plane of
the realities of the world;
The tragic and wonderful realities of earth
and men…
and all the interrelations
of these.
(words: Ansel Adams)
Crossing…
Many rivers to Cross
And it’s only my will that keeps me alive
I ‘ve been licked, washed up for years
And I merely Survive because of my pride
Many rivers to Cross……
~~ Jimmy Cliff
Not the flower but the Fragrance…
You ask me ,
” can you tell us what is the purpose of creation ? ”
The world has never been created.
It has always been here ,
it is eternal.
There is no creator of the world :
God is not the creator of the world …
god is the
very creative energy of existence —
creativity rather than a creator.
He is not the poet but
the poetry…
Not the dancer
but the dance….
not the flower but
the fragrance…
