Agriculture and Creativity - View by Paulo Coelho

Some wonderful view on creativity and agriculture by Paulo Coelho...  worth spending few minutes... 

Ploughing the field

The moment the soil is turned, oxygen penetrates places it was unable to previously. This process of interior revolution is very important – because, just as the field’s new look will see sunlight for the first time, a new assessment of our values will allow us to see life innocently, without ingenuity. A good creator must know how to continually turn over his values, and never be content with that which he/she believes he/she understands.

Sowing

All work is the fruit of contact with life. He/she never knows, at the outset, which things will be important to him in the future, so the more intense his life is, the more possibilities he/she will create for an original language. If he/she tries to imitate or control his inspiration, he/she will never obtain that which he/she desires. He/she must allow his life to sow the fertile soil of his unconscious.

Growth

There is a time in which the work writes itself, freely, at the bottom of the author’s soul – before it dares show itself. The creator must respect the time of gestation, although he/she knows – just like the farmer – that he/she is only partially in control of his field; it is subject to drought and floods. But if he/she knows how to wait, the stronger plants, which can resist bad weather, will come to light with great force.

The Harvest

The moment when a person manifests on a conscious plane he/she sowed and allowed to grow. If he/she harvests early, the fruit is green, if he/she harvests late, the fruit is rotten. Every artist recognizes the arrival of this moment; although some aspects may not have matured fully, some ideas not be crystal clear, they reorganize themselves as the work is produced. Without fear and with great discipline, he/she understands that he/she must work from dawn to dusk, until the work is finished.

Sharing

And what to do with the results of the harvest? Again, we look to Mother Nature: she shares everything with everyone. An artist who wishes to keep his work to himself, is not being fair with that which he/she received from the present moment, nor with the inheritance and teachings of his forefathers. If we leave the grain stored in the granary, it will go bad, even though it was harvested at the right time. When the harvest is over, the time comes to share, without fear or shame, your own soul.

સ્મૃતિ - વિસ્મૃતિ

સમય વીત્યો છે ઘણો,

 પણ સ્મૃતિઓ ઝાંખી થઇ નથી, 

 
પાસાં બદલાયા છે જીવનના, 
પણ એ યાદો વિસરાઈ નથી,
 

રસ્તા ફંટાયા છે, 
પણ એ રાહદારી દોસ્તોનું અસ્તિત્વ અડગ છે,
 

અંતર ભલે આવી જાય આ દુનિયાદારી થકી,
પણ દોસ્તો સાથેનું ઋણાનુબંધ અસ્ખલિત છે.

Welcome Back - Blog Weekend 2012

It has been a while I have been away from blogging due to various constrains of life, let it be sad demise of someone close to me or miracle news of uniting of two of my good friends in marriage vows or a small vacation at home full of hectic schedule to fulfill my long pending wishes...


So with wife not around for entire weekend, I decided to ensure pen down all thoughts crippling my mind on the blogs and thus come the idea of Blog Weekend 2012.  So here it goes, a super surge on my online activities n blogs... bear with me... as usual!!!

A Leader and Leadership

Leader and Leadership

I love this wallpaper.  It clearly defines what a leader is and how he should lead.  I sincerely wish all of us can understand this and more importantly implement this in our lives.
