In the chaos of mindstorms, rays of hope and guidance come through the forms of Padukas that sway with playful texture, form and colour in the inner eye. A play between light and shadows. Theatre that whisper secrets in silence. An exploration of introspection.

Waves crashing , storms brewing, mist rising… Her gaze remains steady and calm. She is the drop of serenity, the river of grace, the ocean of compassion.
She comes in many forms, named by different tongues- connecting all.

Taking it one step at a time. Lotuses bloomed for Padma Pada. Be it Water, ice, fire… the elements didn’t mind her. She had places to go, things to do… her universe to answer. 👣

Strands and locks of the elusive one. The movement drifts in and out of stillness. Spaces inbetween stay blurred. Things don’t always neatly belong. The messiness sorts itself out. The Smokey haze, the whisper of incense, they all speak the same language. Silence.

Rising to the occasion like… 👐🏾
I wonder what a Phoenix would feel like embracing every flight and fire, fully knowing they burn and will be reduced to ashes. Is there fear? Is it freeing? Is it a dance of release and creation? Do the ashes disperse into the wind as it is reborn? Is it in the movement of rising that it becomes free and new?
This year is nearing an end but every week and every day has felt like a new beginning… The awe and dawning never ends. The Phoenix transforms from its first flight to ashes unseen … no one needs to know. The rising is yours to experience.

Unfinished canvas: open to possibilities …
I wanted to explore the dance of light , colours and hues in space. I learned how there are 9 main types of galaxies, their movement, shapes and sizes were all distinct. The spiral is one of them. I wonder what will emerge from this magical movement at play… shall wait for it to reveal itself

A close-up as she emerges with her gaze gracing the colours. There’s something about the way her eyes look thru… it’s as tho she sees beyond the strokes and layered realities. Where is she? What is she seeing? What am I missing here? Questions unanswered.

I thought of my first post for a while… it gave me the icky feels. Thoughts of curation, perfect beginnings felt so daunting. Procrastination, silently haunting me. So naturally I had to take a plunge to embrace the prickly feels. The nerves, with the pins and needles… showed me a way. What better way to honour this moment than with the rambutan? Odd prickly looking shell … that’s so vibrant with colour… it draws you in with playful curiosity. Makes you work for that soft sweetness that’s hidden inside. It’s a beginning of unravelling … one that takes hold and has you wanting more. Here’s to sweet beginnings… however small… wherever it may lead. 🙏🏾👣🌺Grateful for the play that awaits 💃🏽
