Welcome to the Reading Korner

Step into a space where words become paintings. Here, I share my poetry and stories, extensions of my art and life's journey. Discover "word paintings" that reflect my spirit and connect with the heart of creation.

My words, my world

Just as I express myself through paint on canvas, I find another voice in words. This 'Reading Korner' is where my poetry and stories come alive, offering you a glimpse into the narratives that inspire my art and define my path. They are extensions of my painting and my life.

There all Along

 

What does it mean to be free?

Is it aimlessly wandering,

with no responsibility?

 

Perhaps it is the cool wind as it combs through your hair.

Maybe it's giving,

when you have nothing to spare.

 

For me it's the moment, I finally can see,

that the person in charge of my life is me.

Fear

 

That cold, electrifying current 

It freezes my every muscle.

 

Lurking around every corner,

it waits to engulf me into emptiness.

 

Dark, tear-welling sobs

Pleading to be freed from the heavy chains of Fear.

Tacos

 

Tacos, I like them.

Ask me why

Well, I bought my first one from this taco guy,

With olives, lettuce, cheese and cream.

When I took my first bite it was just like a dream!

Then I had 20 tacos, all lined in a row

I ate and ate, how fast they did go

I got really sick

It was quite a big fright.

THEN....I woke up in the middle of the night!

Whew!

Connect through creativity

This space is just for fun, but I truly hope it sparks a connection with other artists. My aim is to share, inspire, and build a community where we can all appreciate the diverse forms of artistic expression. Perhaps my words will resonate with your own creative journey.

A Toast to Eternity

 

From now on...

Until the sun falls from the sky and the Heavens burn in conflagration.

 

California

Land of my re-invention.

Every wisp of my essence transformed.

I burst into the world an untouchable butterfly.

 

 

Fresh narratives, inspired moments

While inspiration guides my updates, I aim to add new stories and poems at least bi-weekly. Check back often to discover fresh perspectives and new "word paintings" that delve deeper into the themes of art and life. You never know what new insight or verse you might find.

Truth about being bored

I found myself feeling very bored after such a full morning. I decided to reflect on Boredom.

By definition:
state of being weary and restless through lack of interest.

There’s a distinction to be made between the STATE and the TRAIT. State boredom refers to feeling bored in a specific situation, while TRAIT boredom refers to how susceptible one is to boredom. Trait boredom is often correlated with self-control, anxiety, depression, and substance use.


Boredom gives you the chance to rediscover who you are. When life is no longer driven by chaos or fleeing, new questions can arise. What do I enjoy now? What feels fulfilling? What do I need?
Boredom is a sign that life is growing more stable. It means less chaos. Your mind and body are no longer constantly reacting. While that may not feel exciting, it is deeply meaningful.
Boredom can feel uncomfortable. There will be moments when the urge to fill the space feels strong. That is okay. Instead of fighting, it can help to notice it. *Remind yourself that not every space needs to be filled immediately.

Sometimes, growth happens during the pauses of our lives.

 

So see and use your boredom as a tool to grow rather than an obstacle.
