MY NEW DAWN

My New Dawn

The past months has been a series of ups and downs for me, and as I'm sure most of you have noticed, my blog  has been completely off-kilter. While the blogging days off...  having to focus on work), I'm so ready to get back to my blog and creating content.

Let me just jump right into it...

Done, done, done is the day

Put with my treasures, safely away
Gone, gone, gone is my past
Buried in deep earth, buried at last

Give me a new song, one with great joy
Give me a new heart, that none can destroy
Wake me with gladness, rock me with love
Shelter me always, beautiful dove

Spirit of new birth, spirit of power
Come, Holy Spirit, enter this hour
Never forsake me, never let go
I am your daughter,
Let your light show.

Returning with ARTFELT THOUGHTS.... with a 3ft by 4ft palletknife painting..with a lot of texture 

of Cadmium Colours. i am enjoying my NEW DAWN...and wishing the same to you...

Angles of Prosperity.

Laxmi is depicted as a beautiful woman of golden complextion, with four hands, sitting
Or standing  on a full bloomed Lotus....and holding a Lotus bud, which stands for beauty, purity and fertility.
Her four hands represent the four ends of human life.
Dharma..or righteousness,
Karma or desires,
Artha...or wealth,
And Moksha...or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

Made this geometric depiction of Godess of prosperity...for a dear friend .on a triangular canvas frame.

Mystic Companion..

 That dark Dweller in brij...

Is my only refuge..

O my companion, 

Worldly comforts is an illusion

As soon as you get It , it goes?..

I have chosen the Indestructible ....

For my refuge,

Him whom the snake of death...will not devour.

My beloved dwells in my heart,

I have actually seen that Abode of joy

Mira's Lord is Hari, the indestructible.

My Lord, I have taken refuge with 

Thee,

Thy slave.

-Mirabai

Made this 5ft×1ft acrylic on canvas....for Meera.

Goatherd's Call

Her magic flute ...it stirs the woods,

The leaves...they trembling fall....

Oh Krishna...Kanhiyya....wont you heed...

A simple Goatherd's call?...!!!

I made this painting  from an old calender  ?..after a long gap..I turned towards Realism....

Acrylics on canvas ...36x24 Inches

Tranquil Light

Neither the pure land...nor hell ...exists outside oneself...

Both lie only within ones own heart....

Awakened to this...one is called ..The Buddha.

Deluded about  it, one is called ...an ordinary person?

One who embraces the Lotus Sutra...will realise...

Hell Itself ...is the land...of...Tranquil Light!!

Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate...

To say that for destruction.... ice ..Is also great

And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

Interestingly, the two possibilities for the world’s destruction ... correspond directly to a common scientific debate during the time Frost wrote the poem.…
 Some scientists believed that the world would be incinerated from its fiery core,
while others were convinced that a coming ice age would destroy all living things on the earth’s surface. Instead of maintaining a strictly scientific perspective on this debate, Frost introduces a more emotional side, associating passionate desire with fire and hatred with ice. Within this metaphorical view of the two elements, the “world” can be recognised as a metaphor for a relationship. Too much fire and passion can quickly consume a relationship, while cold indifference and hate can be equally destructive.

Fragrance of Love

O Beauty....find thyself...in Love....

Not in the flattery of the mirror.---

.----Rabindranath Tagore
