“Beauty is present in all creation, but the danger lies in the fact that we allow ourselves to be influenced by what people think.
We deny our own beauty because others can’t or won’t recognize it. We try to imitate what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as ‘pretty’ & little by little, our soul fades.
We forget the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.”
― Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra

Nurturing Thursday- Harmony

Love is loving the essence of all forms and living in harmony with the permanent nature of all forms.~ Eckhart Tolle

Trees/ Bonsai

According to Japanese tradition, the bonsai represents the three virtues or shin-zen-bi, which translates into truth, goodness and beauty.

Bonsai trees symbolize harmony, honor, patience and happiness. They are the perfect addition to a relaxing environment.

Many people associate bonsai trees with inner peace, serenity and contentment, and while its true that most of the people who successfully rear bonsais have these qualities they are earned over time.

Weekly Writing Challenge: Snapshots

Weekly Writing Challenge: Snapshots

Using words only, take a snapshot of the experience. We’re looking forward to reading your imaginative scenes, sans photographs!

Sunrise

I’m very poor with words. I can’t even describe my real problem to my Doctor so how could I describe this lovely sunrise scene but I wanted to take this challenge,  my hands were itching to take out the camera and shoot this bright yellow ball surrounded by orange rim.  Yellow, orange and blue colors are scattered around it. its reflection in the bluish gray water of sea is capable of taking one’s breadth away.  Its beautiful, captivating and, and, okay I give up, I know I failed here miserably . I’m sorry, this post was not suppose to give snaps but  look at the photographs yourself and decide ,  can words describe this beauty.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Let There Be Light!

Weekly Photo Challenge- Let there be Light

Light

Light, my light, the world-filling light,
the eye-kissing light,
heart-sweetening light!

Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the center of my life;
the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love;
the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.

The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light.
Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.

The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling,
and it scatters gems in profusion.

Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling,
and gladness without measure.
The heaven’s river has drowned its banks
and the flood of joy is abroad.

Rabindranath Tagore
