TRAVEL LIGHT

Travel light like a seed

Johnny Cash told you how to do it.

Give your other suit to the salvation army

and leave everything behind that might slow down your journey.

Be as free as a wild goose in winter.

And you might get very far.

THE PERFECT BALANCE

Happiness in life is often about achieving the perfect balance. Thew difficulty is to know what is perfect for oneself. But a decision has to be made.

Like the falling flower, already dead, that has nevertheless decided to stay in a place where it normally does not belong to, with the help of a rain-drop and it's own lightness in death.

And succeeds.

IS THERE COLOR IN THE SEA ?

I was asked by my friend who lives in the Sahara and who has never seen the sea: IS THERE COLOR IN THE SEA ?

You can not know how much I loved his question because I had so much to say to him.

There is not only color but there are pink spaghettis in the sea.

There is a beautiful dead pale crab not anymore in the sea.

There is structure and delicacy in the sea.

What is inside the sea reflects it's color to the outside.

The sea is made from a painters palette.

My perfect, green shimmering, shining wave comes from the sea.

There is change and movement in the sea.

There is sculpture in the sea.

There is an indescribable abundance of good things of all colors in the sea.

 Through the sea you can understand the spirit of water and the way it moves.

 There is shape and light and reflection in the sea helping yourself getting a clearer picture of yourself.

In clear water the mermaid's golden hair flows.

And there is art in the sea.

SO MUCH, MY FRIEND SAID. AND WHAT IS A MERMAID?

TIME IS ON MY SIDE

A couple of years ago my mother said to me : YOU NEED EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE. THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE. THERE IS NO TIME TO BE BORED.

Does time really exist? Or is it another framework developed by man because man simply needs always some sort of structure. Is it an illusion of the human mind because many of us can not imagine more than one live? So there has to be a beginning and an end. Are we creating time ourselves by giving it the right to exist?

And if time exists does, if we have created it, does it serve us or hurt us ?

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Years after my mother said the most fundamental sentence someone has ever said to me since my birth I would still take a step further and say : YOU NEED EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIFE. 

There is absolutely no time to waste, no time to fight, no time for discontent and for complaints. 

By believing this the only consequence is that every day should be spent in creating something positive and valuable.

I do not mean however by that that life should be lived in a hurry and with the pressure and the fear that it will end soon and there will be no more chances. In fact there will be many more opportunities and chances.

But the seconds that you have been given in this life are one of the ingredients amongst others needed to complete your Work of life. The Masterpiece, our own special creation that we should give birth to and that sleeps inside us is created through time. 

I do not believe that we have only one life, I seem to know that we live many more. 

Unfortunate is that we can only remember the other lives when we have reached a higher state of spiritual Development. We remember when we evolve further. 

And then the concept of time becomes clearer and it is possible to understand that time is a continuum that is in fact continued through eternity and our lives.

We will be able to remember all the creative processes in detail in which we have been engaged before but we will also remember the beauty of our creations.

We will have the same knowledge that a tree possesses that has created a sculpture of amber over time- and there is also the knowledge how it is to be inside the amber. To be the amber.

Looking at live from this angle it does not matter anymore how many years it took for one man to finish the Sistine chapel but that it had to be completed up to a certain point...

IN THE LAST DYING LIGHT OF HIS OWN EYES IN ONE LIFE

And when we reach the port of entry to another world nobody stops us or says DO NOT ENTER. The guard  and the waving hand we see is in our mind only.

TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE. SO ENTER

ABLAZE

A couple of days ago I had the chance to watch a dance of clouds and take some good shots.
A sky full ablaze with the power of the sun and amazing cloud formations.

Changing by the seconds

Until ........

The light got brighter and brighter

and my eyes were blinded and aching

And then there was this mystical painting above me.... AMAZING MOMENT
