Love and Life quotations - Kahlil Gibran

"When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you."
Kahlil Gibran

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Kahlil Gibran

"A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
Kahlil Gibran



Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
Kahlil Gibran






Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Kahlil Gibran

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.
Kahlil Gibran

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Kahlil Gibran
I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Kahlil Gibran

Weekend with Rumi

On my other blog Spiritual Connections i started to discuss about inspiration. The quote above suggests inspiration as being a must, a necessity for one's grow and spiritual evolution.
Thus, inspiration is in fact a response given by the soul's voice, which we are able to listen sometimes, but especially during meditation.

Bellow i am offering you some inspiration tools in images, quotations and poetry by Rumi.

All through eternity
Beauty unveils His exquisite form
in the solitude of nothingness;
He holds a mirror to His Face
and beholds His own beauty.
he is the knower and the known,
the seer and the seen;
No eye but His own
has ever looked upon this Universe.


His every quality finds an expression:
Eternity becomes the verdant field of Time and Space;
Love, the life-giving garden of this world.
Every branch and leaf and fruit
Reveals an aspect of His perfection-
They cypress give hint of His majesty,
The rose gives tidings of His beauty.


Whenever Beauty looks,
Love is also there;
Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek
Love lights Her fire from that flame.
When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night
Love comes and finds a heart
entangled in tresses.
Beauty and Love are as body and soul.
Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.


They have together
since the beginning of time-
Side by side, step by step.





Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.



Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

The Prophet of Love

Kahlil Gibran on Love

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.







When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.





But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the season less world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.



When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Rainbow Flower

The rainbow flower from image bellow, seemed to be a good image to check the other tools from Adobe Photoshop, and the same time to find out how my imagination is working.









This second picture is what i got using twirl tool.
I really like what i got! It is an abstract picture but might have many significances.




Still the black background was not fulfilling, so i tried to change the background color, and next images have been created.
In this images i also used gradient tool.




Now swirl time for this new image bellow. It looks like to be a real rainbow swirl. Colors are beautiful.





Finally using other tool, rainbow flower lost it's petals, spreading only it's colors.



Rediscovering colors is a necessary thing. I was planning time a go to write an article on the significance and importance of colors in our lives, but it seems to be on delay. Words are not coming so easy yet...

From daily life i observed people are somehow afraid to wear some colors, they prefer to wear black, grey, brown, color cloths and avoid to wear orange, red, purple.

We can make our lives more happier and be more optimistic using colors in our lives.

You needed me...video on you tube

Listening some music, one song You Needed Me - Anne Murray, inspired me to create a video/slide which i uploaded on my account on youtube. I hope you will enjoy it!

Meditation in...Photoshop

Meditation and Photoshop seems to have some common things: focus on something, relaxing and bringing out to surface some things form subconscious. Interesting, isn't it?
Inspired by this idea i added the meditating woman from the 2nd picture to meditate in another place, the first picture. (i hope she enjoys that one more :)

















In below images you can see the transformation. The pictures seems to be similar, still see the differences .
It is amazing what one can create and how many tools there are waiting to be used!
















To create there new images, i followed the explanation from the tutorial given in a previous post.
Please check it and why not try to apply it too?

When a rose becomes a black hole...

Today i continued my Photoshop work/play. It is amazing how much this work relaxes my mind.

I found a colored rose picture which inspired me to my next "testing tools" in Photoshop.
I used liquify filter and stretching colors and from first image,





















i got the second one. It is interesting to notice that in this creative work, it seems some things from subconscious, come out. This thing i realized, after finishing the second picture and contemplating my work.



Actually, the first image has kinda of a signification to me and to someone else...

Working on that imagine and letting my imagination to flow, i created the second one, but see how it changed.
In the middle of the second image is a black-hole...something missing from there...then the shape of the white color has a meaning also, and it is in first plane! Perhaps the growth of the soul?!

Anyway i like playing like this in Photoshop, and let's see what else my subconscious will bring out.

How to become creative and use Photoshop...

It seems i am feeling creative and i decided to learn to use AdobePhotoshop.
I never used this before, but i had it on my laptop, so i started...

First i was checking the pictures stored and i found few:







What i did, i typed on the pictures above "Namaste" and the meaning of "Namaste".

Now the pictures are like this:







Nice :)

I know it is not a big deal for advanced to create such stuff, but for beginners it is a nice start!

Why creating these images helped me: well i started to focus on something new and focusing your attention is a good thing, doing something new and funny, and not at least it is a way to express creativity.

I found also a nice tutorial on how to create other stuffs more complicated.
Hmmm, let's see how it will work.

Anyway, on next posts i will share my newest creations! Wish me luck and enjoy!
