You are the artist of your life, don't allow others to steal your color

beauty

great ocean waves easing on the sandy terrain,

something mystical, something enchanting, impatiently vigilant to be discovered.

the imperfections found within us perfectly align with the bewitching elements of nature,

a lesson to one, a lesson to all.

The only words I can find the strength to say to Myself are: "Just don't give up. Everything is really painful right now, this is true. But if You keep pushing and keep going and keep doing good, hopefully it will get better. Just don't give up."

Savonarola: It pleases Him greatly that you have seen your failings.

Lorenzo: Oh, there is much…much that I regret.

Lorenzo: …But much more that I cannot.

Lorenzo: The beauty that flowered here…

Savonarola: You’ve learned nothing. What flowered here was corruption, that spread out like the plague, tainting everything it touched. This is your punishment.

Lorenzo: Maybe.

[…]

Savonarola: The lord has commanded me to destroy it all. Nobody will remember your gardens, the names of Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and the rest, and all they have made will be dust. Blown away by the winds.

Lorenzo: *hushed* I don’t think so. Your brethren once said separating art from God is a lie. Because the heart of man craves beauty as he craves God.

Lorenzo: Because what happened here in Florence…I don’t think it can ever be erased.

I still think about this final episode of Medici, it just hits home for me. I’m not religious, but I’ve worried about not being able to live a ‘good’ life. I’ve worried that my life won’t matter because I won’t be successful or normal conventionally. But this scene is like saying, just because you lived your life with mistakes and regrets doesn’t mean it wasn’t beautiful. There’s beauty in the tale of misadventures and disappointments and small rays of hope. I can understand if other people don’t like this ending because it feels like the writers are whacking us over the head with a theme that wraps up the whole show, but for me it’s like a succinct expression of my way of viewing life. It’s all beautiful, the good and the bad, because it happened, it’s real. No one else is going to live my life and have a story like mine. That’s worth living for.

(Whoever did the subtitles can fight me about not using an Oxford comma, but also I’ll take him out for coffee because transcribing even this took a while, I can’t imagine doing a full episode)

(Also just found out from Savonarola’s wiki that Lorenzo’s son was known as “Piero the Unfortunate”)

Do Good and Good Comes Back To You.

- A short story with a powerful moral.

A woman baked chapatti (roti) for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby.

She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti.

Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way:

“The evil you do, remains with you: the good you do, comes back to you!”

This went on, day after day.

Every day, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and uttered the words:

“The evil you do, remains with you: the good you do, comes back to you!”

The woman felt irritated.

“Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself.

“Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?”

One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him.

“I shall get rid of this hunchback,” she said.

And what did she do?

She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!

As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said.

Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window sill.

As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words:

“The evil you do, remains with you: the good you do, comes back to you!”

The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman. Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.

For many months, she had no news of him. She prayed for his safe return.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He had grown thin and lean, his garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak.

As he saw his mother, he said, “Mother, it’s a miracle I’m here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by.

I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti.

As he gave it to me, he said, “This is what I eat everyday; today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!”

As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale, she leaned against the door for support.

She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning.

Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life!

It was then that she realized the significance of the words:

“The evil you do remains with you: the good you do, comes back to you!”

Moral: Do good and don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.

I love art! I love looking at art, digital art, illustrations, cartoons and comics. I love how the artist use the colours. The way they try to tell a story. The way they’re trying to present their art. The emotions they’ve put in their art. The thought behind it. The muse. The inspiration. I wanna know it all! I love art. I love you!

#सशरीर_सतलोक_गमन

आदरणीय गरीबदास जी महाराज ने परमात्मा कबीर साहेब की मगहर लीला(सशरीर सतलोक गमन) का वर्णन करते हुए कहा है कि,

"देख्या मगहर जहूरा सतगुरु, कांशी मैं कीर्ति कर चाले, झिलमिल देही नूरा हो।"
