Colors speak in whisper


This picture looks otherwise on my other blog. Different backgrounds create different impressions. That's natural, but is it not strange that one and the same in essence can leave the different impressions?

There
was a suspicion of sadness in the truth, but your comments refreshed my smile.

world's outlook towards us makes our diaries.
Thank you

lifeblood

Eagles wing high in the sky... our dreams too gain height. That's so simple - just inescapable. It is enough to be alive for to fly. Have a look. The magnificent wings uplift the eagle as tiny fins carry the fish - the move stops never till we are alive.

Yes, sky pictures look otherwise than the background shots, but they reveal the same joy of being alive. The artwork put us in awe everywhere alike. The gratitude as inspires us so enables our responses and thus our feedbacks don't cease adding to the sanctuary of Art Palace - make the eternities present here and now.

How to survive

A saying "Time is money" marks today - this wisdom flowers on the lips of passersby in response to the "Hi!' on a street. It's no wonder the strangers become sick and the number of the people with psychiatric disorders grows rapidly and the reality threatens ... silently. It's not popular to discus art therapy works as the tools for the healing of the modern world. Smell of the flowers obtains the cost just in the bottle of the fragrance.

I would name 'Time is money' the adage that brings us to eye to eye confrontation with the voiceless thunder 'what for do I live?'.

Oops! It can't be thus!!! Do I forget 'Time is money...'? What was my goal for putting on paper all the above?

As we all know well, our words create our reality and we have what we say. Thus lets recall the adage 'Time is money' once again. What does it mean? Does Life is for stocking our pockets? Or what?

It is good to have the positive attitude towards the life. Just look. While browsing through the web yesterday, I was attracted by the picture "Domino". I wanted to tag the author, but didn't know how should I do that (I'm know-nothing in web technicalities). Therefore I addressed myself to the bblogger with the question "how-to...?" and got the reply immediately. It was step by step instruction. Wow, that was so lovely. I was deeply touched. Thank you, dear AngelBaby. However, can I expect the same reaction in current case too? The practice proves that typically the questions like "I am alive, but is that the merit of me?" are followed by "no comments".
It is easy to get information to the inquiry where could I purchase the paints, but that's looks otherwise in case we question why do we paint. We are dealing with the eternities tête-à-tête/one-to-one ... for the sake of all.

There were lots of questions, but I don't want my article look like a mourning. While we encounter lots of various problems, there are people who do all they can to brighten the world of the disabled, to help their neighbor recognize the God's gifted light of life. Good-hearted people inhabit the whole earth. It is even impossible to count then all. That empowers us to not give in but remain the faithful in spite of what we encounter on our road. Thus at a moment, I came to the Art Therapy Blog and my hearty wow came out of itself once again. We aren't alone.

Peace and love, my dear.
God blesses you.

the unexpected fruits

“Fear is the anticipation of PAIN!” - T Harv Eker


Wow, is it possible to say better than it was put by T Harv Eker?! It looks that any musing on that theme would be just the needles wording. Therefore the reality just confuses. There are lots of wise quotes and the great army of the well educated, but the pain doesn't vanish from sight therefore. It is otherwise. The growing numbers of the incurables threatens. While it is good to know how it is easy to live the healthy life , but let's question ourselves, how does such talk would sound to the disabled? Denying of the pain can just increase the abyss between the healthy youth and the elderly who need the care.
In the light of above, lets look at pain once more.

While fear is anticipation of pain, the pain puts us into the readiness to receive the comfort from our fellows. Such way the pain makes the incurables the giants of the gratitude. That's hard to believe but the pain fires the smiles by changing our outlook on other and selves. Pain opens the eyes and awakens the love and it heals us from ourselves.

Let's remind Carl Jung. He has said "one does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious"
Art therapy perfectly illustrates that theory - makes the thoughts the pictures that you see on Modus Vivendi blog.
