Living

This is an interesting photo and it's kinda true. We never really think about living that much until something drastic happens and we are forced to rethink life. When I was much younger I heard the elders said to live life happily and to give and receive as much as possible for it is really short. Never really understood what they meant. Maybe it's more about to feel the essence of life to really understand how much of a blessing it is to breadth live into all that we think and do. Live to live and leave even when you know you are not done.

Doing with what we have

Going through life a lot of times it felt like may be we need more than we already have just to be like others , to portray what the western society project as perfect but we forget the idea of enough . Most of the time just enough is fine and keeps us happy in the bible it is written " Look at the ravens - they don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for god feeds them"

Today I was preparing food for a large party and I thought of times that I have done the same with very few utensils and little money . The lord have provided me the means to buy more stuff to have expensive kitchen gadgets and necessities but do I really need them. I had prepared the same dishes 5 years back without them and realized may be could have done with them. Over the years I have realized material things doesn't and can never give us peace only a sound peaceful conscious mind can.So the message for today is "We can really do a lot with what we have".

Genuineness is rare

A sane heart

Flowers don't remain same neither does life keep peace in your heart that helps to move forward. If looking back hurts don't look back god didn't bless us the emotion of sorrow and misery we always have a choice choose him above everything and anything and ask for guidance . 

He is kind , loving and compassionate.

Accept the changes that life curves around you and always keep him in prayers he doesn't let one emotion to go waste keep faith and move on.

Botanical Explorations

I have always loved flowers not only they are beautiful but it's just the way they make you feel, instantaneously happy and calm. There is a little exercise that I had been doing for few days , painting flowers sometimes in watercolor other times in mixed media . As a subject I find it to be very very forgiving and diverse. As I had mentioned before I like organic shapes and flowers fall into that same pattern .I don't know being a kid I always thought that botanicals are really hard to paint but later on in college when I had Botany( the study of plant life) as a minor I had to draw diverse type of flowers and leaves and anything and everything in between as a part of my credits and only then I found them to be magical and very satisfying.
