Paradoxical You

On Drawing Lines



Life has turned out to be quite ironic these days. On one hand, one friend says that i am finally doing things i escape from, the other says it's a 'way forward' and still another says that it is the 'is-moment', the reality. And it doesn't stop there, my artist teacher (who saw my art for the first time) says that "There are so many things you want to say,but it shows you are lost, passionately in the process of finding that perfect language. [to escape eh.. (me in my mind) ;) ]

 And so it starts with drawing lines! Ironic. Ironic! Yes, according to her(and as a matter of fact) I really suck at drawing lines,and when i do, they're ultra rigid! Aghh...extremities! hmmm...true that. My art exudes truth and honesty that I dig in my relationships. There are NO boundaries,conditions, rules and regulations or obligations when you love someone. You just love. You don't reason love! It's like 'a small regret,you won't forget!'
Love is complicated (any kind). But if one dares/dreams to love/be loved then why escape/run away from challenging the complications? whatever happens to human feelings, the hurt in love, the truth and all that follows? Why is it a human tendency to elude from the divine truth? Truth that sometimes stares at you as grays in life... Well the truth is, however much you try and draw 'lines', keep safe your 'private space' (even question the phenomenon of private space) those lines will ultimately fade away... or in my teacher's words "You have to learn to give a gradation!" It all fades into the white... The ultimate truth is love! you can hide it, not believe it,run away from it but you cannot erase it!.
The truth is nobody wants their lives to be simple.. "the real truth is nobody wants realitypeople don't want their lives fixed. nobody wants their problems solved. their dramas. their distractions. their stories resolved. their messed cleaned up. because what would they have left? just the big scary unknown."
This is the reason we have an array of human feelings and emotions. This is the reason there are emotions named as fear,anticipation,ecstasy, jealousy, envy, rage,insecurity,  frustration, compassion, sacrifice, admiration, adoration, etc. challenging,contradicting and complimenting you to reach that ultimate reality!

PS: I'm lucky to have all my relations intense and deep...bathed in truth and oozing love-the ultimate truth! The sooner you realize it, the better! =P
