My September musings.

| Everything seemed distant |
Zooming into my thoughts which I hold close to my ❤️,I wish to go back in time.....
After having travelled to quite a few countries earlier, and after having led a hectic life,my life had suddenly changed its course.My life track started running at snail speed.It was then that I suddenly saw a spark at the end of the tunnel.That spark gave me a new meaning to continue my journey from where I had left it.This time it was the fantasy that I loved.What can you call it?A new lease of life?Yes,it can be aptly called that without any doubt.
Having said that I thought I should pen my thoughts and celebrate this day for life...had not imagined that this day,an year ago would be the turning point in my life.And "Hello" it was...it was the beginning of my fantasy through the beautiful roads, peaceful valleys,lofty mountains, avenue of trees,lush green fields with my favourite music to keep me company.
There are many turning points in one's life.But I am sure,for me, this one is the last and the most difficult one to traverse.I call it a roller coaster ride with sharp ups and downs and the most difficult one to navigate.It churns the insides and it takes one's emotions for a toss.
Why is it so important for me?It's a different experience,it's unique in its own way.Its not only a learning but a trying experience.But,a very warm one at the same time.
Many high points to think of in respect of my creativity and relationships.
Earlier I would paint still life or some random subjects.But now I feel that my creativity has taken a different course altogether.I have been painting water colour versions of photographs of travel of my awesomely talented photographer friend and also I derive inspiration from my friend to write suitable captions.I still remember an year ago, the encouraging comment of 'absolutely amazing' for my painting of an autumn scenery made me so happy that this encouragement eventually lead to my continuing with my painting of diverse sceneries of travel.I thought I could not do it but I did it to the best of my ability.My flair for painting various other things also continues because each painting is a learning process for an artist,that too for a self taught artist like me.
Writing captions,I had never thought of before but now every painting has a caption or a narration.I find that very interesting.
And also I have noticed that who so ever reads my captions,or narrations, personally appreciates me for having chosen the appropriate words and phrases to convey what I wish to convey.Captions are ofcourse sometimes quotes but the narrations are what I feel that I write.Isn't it a feather in my cap?One requires some ability to translate emotions and thoughts into words and I am told that all cannot do it.If that is true, then I feel good that whatever and whenever I write some narrations it reaches the hearts of people who read it.
My mind is constantly in a creative mood in respect of using my brushes and paints and also in respect of converting my thoughts and emotions into words.This actually compels me to do quite a bit of browsing.
Leading a life with the warmth of reds,yellows,blues and greens,which add colour to my otherwise colourless life and with the words and phrases which add a meaning to my otherwise aimless life is like a gift bestowed upon me.Now,my sunrise begins with a new vigour to create something during the day and my sunset gives me a hope of creating something new the next day.Can I call it the BRIGHT side of my life?
I thank my friend for bringing out the artist in me so that I can now confidently attempt at creating water colour versions of photographs of travel.
Inspite of not being able to travel now,I take great pleasure in visiting places mentally.Does it mean flying in the clouds?When we see photographs and videos,we too go along....the roads,the scenes and the travel songs transports us into a different world.Isn't it?I remember in my school days I used to travel mentally or can I say fantasise when I would flip through pages of books I used to read.The illustrations used to fascinate me.One such book that I remember even now is 'Heidi'.I think that I have always been a dreamer🤪..
Thanks to technology,now we see the world through other people's eyes.I see so much of the beautiful world through my friend's awesome photographs and informative and beautiful ,colourful vlogs.
Just to have a glimpse of the rich photography of my friend I have shared here below,a few pics out of the hundreds.

An artist is also a sensative,and an emotional being.By observing and by intuition I have learnt so many lessons in life too.Even subtle messages reach an artist unmistakably,and quickly.These lessons have been helpful in making my life more meaningful.This experience was a tough one though.Philosophy is easy to read and understand but very difficult to practice.My attitude has always been philosophical because I think some qualities are imbibed by birth.But I feel,only when one goes through a tornado of emotions,one becomes more strong.And for that you need a strong and at the same time, a soft and a forgiving heart. I thank this phase of my life,for all the tough rides that I was subjected to?Anyways,let me live with only the positive and the warm side of the whole experience.This day is a memorable day for me!!! Very special!!!
Spark expresses the core of who a person is and how they want to be.Creativity pumps life into any person,appreciation brings back the enthusiasm and hardwork pays off.
In many ways I feel blessed.
This is my humble tribute and gratitude to the Almighty.
So thanku God for everything and thanku my friend for being a part of my creative journey.
I will always be grateful,will be full of adulation,and will always shower love without doubt!!!
