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.




love


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.

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?
