Creative expression

Everybody has a story to share is what our mentor in the Art Of Living writer’s group told us. Its funny how a creative person has a unique kind of talent that sets him or her apart from the rest of us. There is also a risk of the bloom shrivelling unless nurtured carefully. Sometimes one needs to evolve as a person, but the ones who have reached a certain stage of maturity as a creative individual, are able to smile so naturally. I think what a creative person is able to do is express him or herself through her art. Each one of us may not have the gift of the gab however self-expression is a need which is important to fulfill like any one of the human needs like the need to be loved or anyone of the physiological needs for a person to be able to live through his or her life. This also vindicates the fact that people are different and diversity is meant to be celebrated rather than abhorred. Being at peace with oneself comes first and then comes having a sociable demeanour. Unfortunately we often see cliques and cabals which are used a means of self preservation often resulting in spewing hatred and breeding mistrust. Discover yourself and then find that time to be who you are, everything else will in place. I find writing to be my way of expressing myself.

The Promise Of The Divine

If I had to promise you something, what would it be?

I can’t promise that you would always be comfortable…
Because comfort brings boredom and discomfort.

I can’t promise that all your desires will be fulfilled…
Because desires whether fulfilled or unfulfilled bring frustration.

I can’t promise that there will always be good times…
Because it is the tough times that make us appreciate joy.

I can’t promise that we will be rich or famous or powerful…
Because they can all be pathways to misery.

I can’t promise that we will always be together…
Because it is separation that makes togetherness so wonderful.

Yet if you are willing to walk with me,
If you are willing to value love over everything else

I promise that this will be the most rich and fulfilling life possible.
I promise your life will be an eternal celebration,

I promise you I will cherish you more than a king cherishes his crown,
And I shall love you more than  a mother loves her newborn.

If you are willing to walk into my arms,
If you are willing to live in my heart,
You will find the one you have waited forever….
You will meet yourself in my arms…
I promise.
