Getting ready for Spring...

3/17/2020

Whenever we start to write or jot down our thoughts, the first thing we see is the front of our book. Even though we get some really beautiful book-covers, they never seem to exhibit our uniqueness- after all they are mass-produced!!

So, I decided to re-create my book cover by painting it’s cover in my own unique style and colors! A green alternative to the usual store-bought-mass produced books. That is what typically happens- we tend to buy new items to match our varying and developing taste.

But, I wanted to repurpose something I already owned. To modify an existing book to suit my need as well as appeal to my artistic sense. Did not want to buy more items!!

This modified and stylized book cover is made with original art that is painted directly on the existing mass printed boring cover! It is made with mixed media colors and in a throw and drip paint-style.

This art work is titled 'Phoenix' indicating it is time to rise again from the ashes.

Something that says- I am ready for Spring :-)

Our Journey to "Oneness"

It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments.

But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...

What else will you find here??

Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you.

These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism.

It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to a "real life" level!!

Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who have families, careers, material goals & ambitions and so on... the ones who cannot simply extrapolate what typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.

Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time.

Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.
