Two pictures that show patience. (Post 6 of blog marathon)

My soul is happy when I create stuff--be it a picture, a book(a novel) , a poem---anything really which makes my internal world a happier place.

If I don't create stuff, I  feel shriveled up from the inside. I can spend hours and hours by myself, sitting at my desk--listening to music and creating art. I don't much crave company .(unless it is of close friends who have known me for ages)

I am going to show you two things which I made, which i was quite pleased about..


I didn't know what I was making when I started out. I just kept going and this is what emerged. I quite like it :) It was a LOT of work and needed a tremendous amount of patience.




I liked the idea of the cat waiting patient;y, sitting so still, gazing out of the window. I like the idea of waiting for something. In today's 'instant-fix' times, I think sometimes, this stillness is good.

Today I am a happy soul :)
 Hope your day has been pleasant as well.


And till tomorrow, stay safe, peaceful and blessed.

  1. I could see great effort in these pictures. Especially the quilled art. amazing it is. And I could recall the line from karate kid on reading your lines on the 2nd art. 'being still and doing nothing, are two very different things".

  5. I really wonder how do you do that?? It needs a lot of patience and time to create such beautiful and soothing things... Although I am not so great in paintings but I do make cards and I can relate to the pain you suffer from. You are really blessed with superlative skills... Stay blessed!!! :)
