Things to remember always.

1. BE KIND. To yourself first.
2. SET YOUR BOUNDARIES. To make sure that your personal space is safe.
3. CHOOSE YOUR CIRCLE OF TRUST WISELY. To make sure that your future generations will not carry trauma and pain ahead because you did NOT know how to heal.

Meanwhile, adding colours to circle of life with Art, as it dictates. 😊😊

One step ahead, and then the next step.
One day at a time.

So much has to leave. So much has to come. May this day remove unwanted grudges, unexpressed anger and, unhealed traumas. May it make way for more empathy, self confidence and, courage.

Happy Vishu, people. Wishing one and all, a happy Tamil new year! Health and happiness always!

God bless 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Some old patterns are broken.
Some new ones are born.
Some others are tweaked.
Some stick around as relics.

We are all doodles in a way. Aren't we?

Healing is always tougher than the trigger. A completely healed person will rarely acknowledge that (s)he is healed because healing is all about making sure that the trojans of fear and self doubt don't enter. Because, all they need is a small small crevice and, that is all it takes to bring the entire palace of happiness crashing down. The journey of Healing keeps one alert all the time. It can be exhausting at times. But, it is something like a long term investment in life. Returns may be slow but good. And yet, the marathon aspect of it is not easy to keep up. It takes discipline, restraint and perseverance to keep going.

Healing is a work in progress. Always, a work in progress that keeps one grounded. Rooted. Because one needs a place to land softly when it is a fight or flight.

What I love about a circle is the infinite possibilities it offers. It is versatile. It is humbling. And, it is warm and welcoming always.

And, one can do just about anything with it. You begin something with it and, it will give you back something beautiful every single time.

The mind is hungry as ever. The mind also feels tired at times. But, the hunger burns as bright as ever. May the mind never starve. May the soul feel the joy of the wonders, the mind can tap into. And may the buffet of knowledge remain as infinite as ever. Amen.

Patience takes one places. And, I continue to learn from it that every step ahead is one climb done.

May the patience stay persistent. And, may it help me see the wonders in the yonder. Someday, one day.

*****Happiness****

Happiness is either awareness of self within or, absence of consciousness. The latter is perhaps a happy space as long as coping mechanisms work. Essentially, the absence of consciousness is an illusion, a space often sought at every rung in the economical space. And, the NOT so good thing about illusions is, they shatter.

However, The former is a tough road to tread on - awareness of self. Every step towards being aware of self takes more misses and falls. It is never that evident but, encountering too many detours and pitfalls, makes you truly understand the lack of what you desire for. And, when you still keep moving ahead with all you have left, you feel a surge of power gush through you because you are still moving on despite being a pet subject for unfairness in the world. The journey drains you but it also rewards you in ways it does none. You aren't bound by shackles and, you breathe well, think clearly and, act on decisions that aren't dependent on whims of cynicism. You keep moving and as you do, you realize that failures and disillusionments and the general unfairness in the worldly ways albeit outnumbering heir counterparts, help you see hidden doors that are yet to open and, pastures of vast knowledge yet to be grazed on. They give you a perspective, the most important thing when you are dealt with cards that aren't in your favour.

Meanwhile, everyone finds their happy space one way or the other. Some in people, some in books, some in work, some in play. But, none of them are permanent spaces. The only space you will find the happiness quotient, a constant is within you - being aware. The awareness of how far you have come and, how far you will go for the good of your world. And, the bonus would be - NOT who all you lent your favours, to get something in return, but who all you have helped diligently without expecting anything in return.

Onwards and upwards - is NOT easy all the time. But when you have stayed too long on the tougher lanes, you realize you were never meant for easy. Right? Right?

Patience is a tough virtue.

And, a closure to a day comes in unexpected ways.

Sometimes in circles, sometimes in straight lines and sometimes in patterns of black, white and a few shades of grey.....

We must accept life in all its forms and in all its days..rough and smooth, glum and gay!

Black-and-white - this is a retreat. From too many colours of traits.
From too many shades of confusion.
From too many brushes of erratic tongue slips.

The thoughts during the doodle
As above, so below.
As within, so without.

Blessings for all, sufferings for none.
So mote it be.

I have always liked the term - WorkInProgress (WIP) It is a constant reminder to the arrogance that subconsciously breeds within, after every success. However, WIP is not obvious for most time. It's presence is not felt unless one steps out of his or her mind maze and observes his or her actions on a neutral plane.

WIP for self is a conscious effort towards reading oneself before reading the surroundings. Does it take a toll? It does. But the courage to hold fort till the end of the psyche flowchart is perceived, is something that cannot be taught. It develops in every person at some or the other time. For some, it comes in childhood. For others, as adults. For some, it doesn't come or maybe time tricks the mind for few to shun any inputs that expects them to alter their habits. Habits are dangerous Keepers. You cling to the good ones, you rise. The bad ones make the frog in a well seem more educated.

To keep a mind without judgements is tough. And WIP demands that. Unless one opens one's mind into a non judgemental plane, one simply misses out on great life lessons that touch the core of your soul and make you comprehend the life force that guides us all without a form but in all forms! And, that is why I love art works in progress.. (WIP)

The moment we accomplish something, there is another journey to latch, yet another train to catch! And, that is exactly why Art humbles me. It is so wide. It is so vast. It is so giving. There is enough space for all of us. There is no better or worse. There is the term - beautiful! That is it. Just beautiful. And, add to it WIP.

Beautiful Work in Progress!

Aren't we all pieces of art?

None of us are best yet. And yet we are all beautiful from where we bloom. The only question is - when do we all bloom?

Because when we bloom, we would know by then what truly matters more.

Until then and forward, we are all just WIP. Just like the circles on my worksheet that are waiting waiting be filled!

What are your thoughts, peeps?

Do leave your thoughts in the comments.

There is always this physical space we crave for when we need to think, think alone. It could be a 5 minute puff in a closet or in a tapri, or a 5 minute siesta under the shower or, closing eyes for 2 seconds while waiting for the milk to boil over, or those split seconds of epiphanies that gush into your mindspace out of nowhere after years of having forgotten them....

Well...we need the same space in the mind too.. A place off limits for the physical world to visit places we haven't yet, to learn what we have forgotten, to unearth what has been buried for eons.....

That would be the garden of Eden.

Where do you escape to, when your soul is parched and you hunger for the unexplored?

And....... the space where power and peace, arrogance and humility, anger and calmness meet and become one with the Universe...... The sacred space.

Maiden attempt on A2 sheet (this is the first time I have attempted something twice the size of what I normally do). Also today is Tamil New Year.

May this year bring only good tidings.

Blessings for all, sufferings for none.

So mote it be.. so mote it be...so mote it be....

God bless 🤗🤗
