Spirit, art and life unfolded

I discovered a new flower in the garden and immediately captured its beauty with a close-up photograph. This vibrant hibiscus flower boasts petals with a soft orange hue, subtly gradating to pink towards the center. Its natural beauty is so exquisite that it seems crafted, yet the distinction remains. Is it not all maya?

I watched the sunrise after the sun was up in the sky and now, during my evening walk, I saw the sun setting - a white ball with orange rings, alone in the sky. My thoughts shifted, and I began thinking: what if I just ignore all that happened during the day and focus only on the sun's journey? Its contributions to the world, how the world benefits from its presence, how many people notice, appreciate, or are impacted by it. This reflection leads me to consider my own importance and journey in comparison to the sun's celestial path. How things unfold, how life gets impacted in so many ways. It's an invitation to slow down, appreciate, and look beyond my own experiences, finding meaning and perspective in the sun's enduring presence. It's an invitation to obliterate myself and feel the stillness and emptiness.

Who is this paradoxical force that shapes me? It builds me up, yet tears me down. It crafts a towering personality, yet reduces me to insignificance. It sings my praises, yet whispers criticisms.

My mind is not alone in doing all this. Can the guiding forces that have accompanied me since childhood help me navigate this inner conflict and emerge with clarity?

Nature's rhythms and artistic vision converge in a dynamic dance, giving rise to cycles of transformation. This symbiotic union echoes the eternal themes of growth, renewal, and the intricate interplay between chaos and harmony.

 Friends are the flowers that bloom in our lives, their presence alone a source of delight and warmth.

This leaf once thrived, carrying the message, "I spread like a virus happiness." Over months, it endured, sharing its positivity while gradually transitioning with drying edges. Now, as it nears the end of its journey, it serves as a gentle reminder of life's fleeting nature and the lasting impact of small acts of joy.
