“The beginning is like a new life… Awaited with all its glory,
It’s we who make this life go on, so let’s not regret its story.” – Christine D’Rozario Kale
About the painting:
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Painting / Watercolour mode.
My third digital painting …shows the precious
possession we hold and the potential we
have to create it unconditionally … this
effort may have a lot of feedback scope.
Yes, the New Year is like a beginning of new life...
something to look forward to by many, and for some, hopes to fulfill...places
to visit and things to bring.
Eagerly we await the strike of 12 at midnight to welcome the
year next… hoping something amazing would happen and last for the year through,
and more perhaps.
Then when the party is over, it’s just the same as
yesterday…and for the ones’ who slept off this wonderful second of transformation, they wake up to “just another day”.
The wishes of the fresh year just start to flood in when
reality strikes of workloads and school tasks. How obvious !
Life comes back to where it was … in the beginning.
So are we living the full circle of life in just that one
second of the 12 midnight stroke?
Let us not just let the year pass us by, growing us a year
older. We do that every year.
We go places, we buy stuff, we invest, we spend, we get over
with things, we get into new things…. we improve…and then we make resolutions
all for the heck of it...I suppose.
Let us lift up ourselves, our conscious minds and not just
wait for that stroke at 12 midnight….
Let’s reassure ourselves that we will nurture the future
before it even starts.
Give it growth and place it well,
Be its wings to reach new heights,
Hold it steady but give it strength,
Be its cause to humanity and its reason to security.
The Year, the future is in our hands, like a new born and we
its parents, each individual.
Just like parental love, where a child feels most safe, deep
in our hearts if we peek, we all want to be in that place.
We have started to witness eye-openers in the nation, seen
how the lay man can make a difference… our plans ahead promises wellness to
those who need help and support …. We have started going the right way…but just
a handful and only the beginning.
Let our choice and prayer not be just to live the year in
good health alone, but to live with the belief that if we want no harm, let us
cause no harm….And that would make us a better Human that just being a good one.
May we all have the sense and courage to build our New Year
for what it’s worth.
