Quote of the moment

When you stumble, make it part of the dance

'Wisdom is knowing i am nothing, Love is knowing i am everything, and between the two my life moves' - Nisargadatta

Xtraordinary!

Its my first visit, so I ask him timidly, "Do you find it strange i want to learn to draw, at this age"
He replies immediately"But you are not like ordinary people, ordinary people think like that. The fact that you have come to me now, to learn means you are extraordinary, isn't it?

It was that simple for him. There was no pause, no doubt in his mind.

Most people mock us for our inclinations. And when we repeatedly listen to such people we begun to believe they may be speaking some truth unknown to us.

Its only when someone looks you in the eye and states as a matter of fact "but you weren't mean to be like all of them" that we realize the struggle to fit in, is a futile one.

He also promised to give me courage and inspiration.

So with these gifts, i move ahead and think, why stay ordinary when i am meant to be...
