Stories Washed Ashore…
Sometimes when I
think of life,
I feel like a
piece of driftwood…
washed up
on a shore…
only to
float away…
across an
ocean…
like a driftwood…
No address, nothing…
just no more
human…
A sea of possibilities…
Beckon…
beyond twilight zones…

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

Journey…
Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s
about un-becoming everything that isn’t
really you, so you can be who you were
meant to be in the
first place.
~ ` ~ Paulo Coelho
The songs of trees…
We are all
Trees…
.
The Green
smoke…
Listen to
it’s songs
…your own soul…
All our wisdom
is stored
in the Trees…
~`~ Santosh Kalwar
..Universe in
ecstatic
motion…
~`~ Rumi
Our most intimate
contact with
Nature…
~`~ George Nakashima
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.
~`~ Sergio de silva

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 )
Gift…
One of the more difficult paradoxes to accept
is that this abundance of gifts is always quietly
present and it is we who drift in
and out of seeing it…
~ ` ~ Mark Nepo
( Niagara Falls…)
Fishing…
Every day is a new day.
It is better to be lucky…
but I would rather be exact.
Then when luck comes
you are ready…
To hell with
luck…
I ‘ll bring the luck
with me…
My big fish must be
somewhere…
As wave is driven by
each wave…
The world breaks everyone..
and afterward…
some are strong at
the broken place…
But man is not made
of defeat …
a man can be destroyed..
but not
defeated…
Men go fishing all their
lives..
without realizing,
its not the fish
they are after
(~ ` ~ Henry David )
Fishing is much more than
fish…
It is the great occasion when we may
return to the fine simplicity
of our forefathers…
( ~ ` ~ Herbert Hoover )
( Words: Ernest Hemingway )
Enduring & Real…
To look for a form or search
for a
sound
is to stumble down the
wrong path .
The wisdom that cannot be thought,
alone reveals that which
is enduring and
real…
~ ` ~ Zen
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.
~ ` ~ Tanya Markul
Wishing you all a happy &peaceful
new year ❤ ❤
Who Am I …?
I am That I am..
I am that which I have created myself to be.
~ ` ~ The Gita
I am the answer you were not
expecting…
I exist
As I am.
That is enough.
~ ` ~ Walt Whitman
Knowing yourself is the beginning of
all
wisdom.
~ ` ~ Aristotle
Many have an Image of me.
Few get the
picture…
I regret opening up to
some people.
They didn’t deserve to
know me like that.
~ ` ~ Gold-Kushkloudz
Wondering on
myself,
by myself,
for myself…
I am a thinker
Not a talker…
I have travelled
through madness
to
find me…
Don’t ask
anyone
but me,
about me…
I am shy at first but…
I do the stupidest random
things when I
get comfortable
with someone…
I
hate being
Shy…
Never have I dealt with
anything more
difficult than my
own soul…
You don’t know me…
I put back my pieces,
differently.
( words: Internet )
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…
True path…
Truth is one
&
the true path is one.
It does not belong to
anybody.
Its nobody’s
property.
it is only one!
there are not many paths really.
Many people walk on the
path,
but the path is one.
And it is so vast
they may not meet
each
other
( words: Osho’s teachings )
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)
Heart Wanders…
Clouds heap upon clouds & it
darkens…
I keep gazing on the far away gloom
of the sky, & my
heart wanders wailing with the
restless mind.
~ ` ~ Rabindranath Tagore (Gitanjali)
The Moment…
The moment in between what you once were,
and who you are becoming
is where the
dance of life
really begins.
~ ` ~ Barbara Deangelis
Silent…
“….so silent & so alive that his
Silence is a song ,
that this song is nothing but
his Silence..…”
~~~ Osho
There are moments in life when
some kind of magic happens..
This is one of them…..
Living with a damaged skull
