Wordless Wednesday #105

Creativity has no boundaries, and if man extends his imagination and can dream to touch the Stars and the Mars then decorating the pumpkin in various ways could just be the icing on the cake!

The above picture is a pumpkin decoration contest in our local library.

Mantra for today: “To be creative means to be in love with life."

Art and Meditation

Art is a form of creativity that knocks on our subconscious mind.

Result

The subconscious mind speaks to the conscious mind, and a beautiful piece is created.

This art could be displayed on canvas with colors or be written with beautiful and meaningful words.

This art is a form of meditation, where our inner self is dug into, and an artist or a writer expresses it in either form. His ego is set aside while he is trying to express himself.

When self pride is put on hold. The individual is in a reflective mode. He is in a contemplative state.

This state is a form of meditation.

Mantra for today: Creativity is the gateway to becoming ego-less.

Challenges for this month!

Thanks to my blogging buddies that I got introduced to Nanowriteup month. It is a novel to be written in the month of November, and it should be a minimum of 50,000 words.


Writing a novel makes a writer search within himself and churn out all the creativity. A writer also gets an opportunity to bring out all sorts of incidents that he has faced or feared in his lifetime and bring them out in the form of some character.

Since I am writing about mixed cultures, which is so remarkable about the United States that I have to look back into their history and their names to figure out outline of the character's personality. This takes time for me since I am researching and writing and trying to maintain a steady balance between my household and my kid's classes etc.

I also got myself enrolled in my Master's program for Reiki. I have been practicing Reiki for over 3 years now, and I get a chance to enroll myself for this program. This is something I had always been looking out for. Did not think twice about the overload it may cause esp with 50,000 words that had to come with a distinct flow and as my friend Terrye says that words gotta flow as smooth as a wine.

So, I am unto the challenge with NanowriMo, My Master's Reiki program and a Diwali festival coming up during this month.

Sometimes, I wonder how will I attain it. But, I feel if I stay focused on one day at a time...things will happen.

Mantra for today: Plan each day and it will take you  closer to your goal.
