Contemplating Death

Many years back, a colleague of mine invited me to go camping with her and her husband. I had a tent of my own and I decided to tag along to Bukit Larut, the quaint little hill in the town suburb. We were resting at the foot of the hill when a big woody tree caught our attention. Oh, that could be used to make two Chinese coffins! I quipped. My colleague and her husband were instantly annoyed. Oh! How could you be so pessimistic! He said and his wife didn’t wait long to nod in agreement. After all, coffins are related to death and to talk about death, they said, were negative. But I was just trying to emphasize the size of the tree. I replied. You could always use other metaphor , my colleague then said.

Close your eyes and relax. Think about the crystal in your hand and what you want it to do. Raise your hands, open them and breathe those thoughts over and into your crystal. Repeat until you feel that your crystal is fully energized. Well, if it takes too much time, just dip your crystal into a glass of water overnight. Drink the energized water the next morning. Stones need someone to prod them into action!

Beautiful People: A Blind Man Paints!

I remember watching an episode of Little House in the Prairie long ago , the series starring the late Michael Landon and the freckled Melissa Gilbert. There was an episode that featured a blind artist. That episode, I swallowed with a grain of salt. How can a blind man draw, I wonder but then, last December, I came across an article on Esref Armagan from Turkey. The man has been blind since birth but he paints! In fact, this visual artist paints houses, boats, and even Bill Clinton using vivid colors even though he has never seen any of these things in his life. He also paints in three-point perspective, the most complex form of perspective drawing which gives the effect of looking up or down at a scene! Now, this I say, is a truly Beautiful World!
