living simply

This has been my  mind set over the months:)-

I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I’ll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I’ve got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to... I want not to be governed by money or clocks or of any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself.I just want to be away ,just float ,just close my eyes and meditate ,wanting to feel the breeze on the face,climb high up in the hills. I just want to be boundless and infinite  or  to just get soaked in the chants of Namahshivaya..the ever relaxing chants to be boundless and infinite.Yes and I Did get soaked !Its become sort of a ritual.loving these rituals..

Searching  for the inner energy is a journey on its own!How amazing is it to get back the energy you have lost somewhere:)-

Follow your Dreams............they know your way!

Its been a while here.The first post of the year 2014...

Life did take its turns and turns last  2013.its all in nostalgia.The year that gave  me all high and lows and ups and downs,made my dreams come true.. 

It made me realize that life is beautiful and indeed i needed to celebrate the beauty of life everyday..

Then finally my images that got translated into a beautiful calendar.I thought all these years and  waited for a perfect moment then i realized  one need to take the moment and make it perfect..There's a turn in everybody's life where dreams go and wait their turn ..dreams are reality in waiting.Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your dreams then reach for the stars to change the world.

I chose December or December chose me No idea...a month of snow and feasts;time to make amends and tie loose ends;finish off what you started and hope your wishes come true.

The month of nostalgic memories...of hopes and dreams of losing and winning.But in a way I love December.I got married in December. While words can never fully express how much someone means to us,but it can still provide comfort, solace, hope and even inspiration. "More and more, when i single out the person who inspired me the most I go back to my grandfather.You know how it is when you lose one of your senses..it was just like that..It was in the month of December that i lost him and then December makes my wishes come true!Yes it did finally!

The images in the calendar are that gave me a life full of beauty and love,the images that sums up all my memories and that gave me happiness beyond definition everytime I look into..

Follow your dreams..they know the way...Kobi Yamada
