Passions And Problems

Each of us are bestowed with gifts. Some sing so melodiously, others dance, write, read, speak, draw, some are proficient in their academics, and turn out to be Engineers, doctors, Professors, Lawyers, Actors, Researchers. And what not. What matters is that you believe in yourself, and do anything and everything to support it. Some people, have multiple talents, and cannot help it, because, whether are not they get to be highly proficient in their field, they still have to do everything that makes thrm hear the call. 

True, there is that particular energy that transcends all and makes them realize what their true self is., however, life is made up of these tiny nano seconds, that add up into minutes, to days to years and a life time, and still the person is searching to realize that truth, that is so elusive.

Occasionally, one may hear their inner calling, and take up the activity, regardless of the obstacles one finds. That could be raising families, going for higher studies, or doing work in a systematic way, anything, that you may name. It is , when the tiny mini seconds are mastered and organized into tasks, that are related, that one can be on the way of accomplishing what one dreams. It may be a long way from where you are, and what you are doing, nevertheless, it is a happyness, that one experiences, despite all that , if they can organize, and go in the direction of their choice..

not surprisingly, ancient saints have said, Arise, Awake, Sleep not till you reach your goal! To be continued...!

January 8, 2021

We do not realize, that we might revisit what we started eons ago, one more time in this very life! This article was started so many years back. After several changes that took place, having several things that changed life, including surviving a pandemic,  so far; as well as witnessing historical changes in the current society, it is still a welcome wonder that I am motivated to continue my write up!

We may not realize our ability or meaning it might hold to others, including us from future, to look back. It is important that we keep the creativity developing, not be lazy, lethargic, enchanted or undermining our own work. It may not be a perfect work in one's opinion. Hey, it does not really matter. It is something that could be a stepping stone for something yet to come.. or a springboard for that matter or a launchpad, who  knows!

Keep working even if ten minutes a day. If you do not like restricted or structured pattern for creativity, feel encouraged to do so at your time and pace.

 You will be surprised, that is for sure, of the outcome of perseverance, persistence and productivity.

Let me share my attempt as I write a minison, that I learnt about recently. It is an effort to create poem in 14 letters or 14 lines of 14 letters etc. for more information, I will update this journal entry of sorts again: 

(https://trishhopkinson.com/2021/01/07/no-fee-submission-call-editor-interview-the-minison-project-deadline-jan-31-2021-rolling/?fbclid=IwAR2-fvWywTWhD_ibNM5yiBLNPP0481jF0VtbY30h6HhOM51SZ1Tfo1x4QKU

For your information) 

Believe it, you'll..

You'll achieve it!

Is it very simple?

Yes, if you believe!

 

Minimalism, The Harvest

"'Take some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
'I've had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended tone, 'so I can't take more.'
'You mean you can't take less,' said the Hatter: 'it's very easy to take more than nothing.'"
Small is beautiful, or less is more, to be minimalistic, as I apply from John Barth's article in NY Times.
What I do not see is more beautiful and waiting to be unveiled, even when I cannot read it... I will know it when others review my work later... if at all.
So, I read this story, in fact began to read it the very next day, after it was posted, in my class offered by Prof. Jeff Sartain.
I went back again earlier.
Read it two more times, today, to know who was hurt, when and where was this.
No wonder, appearances matter, after they count their returns. The lawyers held the value, for the value they can harvest.
Doctors or surgeons, to the organs they could.
And, of course, the author remembered that we are products of the miracle, that progeny is created from.
Some one else may say, we are a miracle from heavenly beings.
Each time I read it, I find a need to go back and find more!
You bet your shirt.
Or whatever.
Carroll, Lewis's characters popped out in my memory!  Unlike Poe's, story telling by Carroll Lewis's although does not appear to be minimalistic, the context above, is a clear example of Minimalism applied by Mad Hatter and the mouse, Alice keeps wondering, why the cups keep accumulating, and no one is offering her any tea. It is because, the clock was their friend and they wanted tea time to last forever!
Amy Hampbell, as a narrator/ protagonist keeps giving information, in piece meals...
Like the beauty of night, beyond the brightness of the Eiffel tower, you go back, again and again to reread!
