The Act

A Balinese Dancer, from my recent trip to Bali. She was enacting the role of 'Sita' from the Ramanayana and at this point was struggling with the dilemma of obeying Lakshmana who had asked her to stay safe within the confines of the line he drew around their home...or to obey the request of an old man to come across the line and help him...

Color has taken possession of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold of me forever... Color and I are one.

~Paul Klee

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

When Angels Pass

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. 

~George Elliot 

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Albert Einstein

in the light

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast. 

~ Charles Dickens

Age

Do not regret growing older.  It is a privilege denied to many.  

~Author Unknown

Reflections

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

~James Levin

I see a gem

 I look at my myself; and see a stone, I look at my friends and see gold, But I look at you, and see a gem.

~Unknown
