Autumn Wreath..

In spring I sing, In Autumn I Wreath.......

Anything circular fascinates me. anaadi and ananth. A glimpse into eternity. There is an instant connect. The first time I ever laid my eyes on a wreath was many many years back. I think it was some politician laying one near the Amar Jawan Jyoti. I had'nt embarked on my creative journey then, so didnt think of creating one, but the concept fascinated me. Why that particular shape? Why not just a bouquet?
Much later, in the post crochet addiction phase of my life, as i was browsing the net, i came across images of crochet wreaths....WOW! It was a gateway to a Whole New World of circles and colours. I decided to make an Autumn Wreath.
Why autumn? Because I simply love the autumn colours!

Birth of Peace..

Life is a caravan of moments.
Hold each moment, love it, live it, and let it go.
That's it.
There is nothing more to it...
or less.
Anything more or less weighs you down
Its only being in the moment,--- with it, that buoys you-- helps you soar.

So unless you are with the moment, you will never soar..
Unless you soar, you will never know freedom..
Unless you know freedom, you will never chose to focus on the moment..
Unless you focus on the moment, you will never hold it, love it, live it..
Unless you are with the moment....

So you see, its a vortex.
As you are drawn into this vortex, you'll find yourself getting energized.
You are now aligned with the right path.
As you align with the right path, your heart starts asking the right questions... and you start looking for the answers..
Each question is nothing but a part of your subconscious struggling to reach the consciousness.
And each answer is the path found and an increase in conscious awareness.
The questions lie within and the answers too lie within..

This is the birth of Peace....
When you realize that what lies without is not important.
Whatever matters, lies within.

When you get a glimpse of the majestic magnificence of eternity, you begin to understand your context and your role. You begin the process of understanding who you are. You have to realize that who you are has nothing to do with your desires. Unless this fact is apparent to you, you cannot wish away your desires.
When this becomes apparent to you, the desires go away on their own...
