Happy Mid Autumn Festival to all celebrating

Posted on by

Happy Mid-Autumn festival to all who are celebrating. Mid Autumn in the Chinese calendar is celebrated when the moon is at its fullest in the year.

This year post covid we finally got to see the beautiful gardens at gardens by the bay again. The lanterns were truly spectacular.

The huge scene is of Chang’e and Hou Yi i believe.

The colourful lanterns are lanna lanterns. They are Thai lanterns.

There are handpainted lanterns by volunteers.

The rabbit shaped lanterns are the chinese zodiac of this year which symbolise peace, longevity and prosperity

I truly hope you enjoy tonight. A whole year of working hard and now the harvest is here. A time for reunions and appreciating the eternal nature and beauty of the moon.

God djing to the angels

Posted on by

Today is a cold and rainy day, i hope you are all doing ok and keeping warm.

God djing to the angels, in one of my visions. Lucidly ethereal and soul piercing music.

We think we know everything,
the way the cosmos should be
A lilting music starts
And we are someplace else
Only we are aware
Of how powerful music is
And God is.

Sitting in meditation-aurora borealis

Hair braided in white,
Sitting in meditation.
Our soul is within
And in front of us
Our chi is collected
Shimmering in the colours
Of the aurora borealis
We disperse.

Incense in the morning

Posted on by

I am lighting sandalwood incense this morning. It very soothing and calm. I am grateful for it. It is good to meditate this morning. I hope you are all enjoying this cool autumn day and are well in all aspects of your being.

This year even though it is seventh month i cannot feel any ghosts, only light.
In my earlier years i could feel a haunted atmosphere and ghosts coming and going and portals to the underworld. All that has closed now.

According to heavenly law i cannot light incense or make offerings to the dead. This year i had completely forgotten it was seventh month till i walked in the park, on the way back i noticed some offerings and it jolted my memory. I can light incense to meditate though. It is strange to feel this much in the light now. The invisible barriers are there. What i am allowed to do and what i am not. I sit here thinking of dead relatives, wishing them well and being at peace. Its the least i can do.

Seventh Month special posting

Seventh month is the month is Singapore where people remember the dead and give offerings. It is said that on the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell open and the ghosts are free to return and roam the earth. Also known as Zhong Yuan Jie 中元节.

This drawing is dedicated to my neighbour that sadly decided to leave this world at a young age.

I paste my artwork on the wall outside my house
But you are not here to share it with me, when you walk down the corridor.
Its the seventh month, but i can’t feel any ghosts, only light.
I almost died
But you actually died
In all my years rooftopping i never fell.
If it is a matter of luck, we could trade places.
Maybe if my artwork had been on the wall sooner, we might have talked and said hello.
I don’t understand, in my life i met so many people to help,
But i didn’t know you.
The Gods gave us different paths, even though we live on the same floor.
Standing above a city of lights,
I have landed.
You have landed as well.
Hopefully somewhere better.
I will pray for you.
This drawing is for us.
You’re dead
I’m alive.
We can look at the lights of the city together
From the floor we live on.

Sitting in a replica of Van Gogh’s room

Sitting in a replica of Van Gogh’s room
I really didn’t want to leave. I could stay in his room forever.

Do all artists end up in the psychiatric hospital ? Thats what i really wondered.
I guess i am about to find out.

What i wanted to say to Van Gogh though, if i only had one chance to speak to him would have been this

‘Take your meds,
It doesn’t matter that your close friend didn’t like you or understand you.
Just paint and be happy.
Don’t cut off your ear.
God gave you two ears for a reason.
So that you could listen to the beauty of nature while you painted it.
It doesn’t matter that they don’t like you now.
People like us will come along much later and love you’ 勺

Wu wei

Wu wei, wu wei
It is whispered to us gently.
We have to let go, in order to kick
We have to release, in order to achieve.
Balance is perfect symmetry with the universe
We are one, but in one-we are many.

A stroke of ink

Posted on by

A stroke of ink,
Hair falling softly,
Is it a mountain pass,
Or a step,
I stumble,
A wave of black ocean,
The road is long
Even for immortals
Only one’s light
Can lead the way.

By the full moon

Posted on by

In the eaves of night,
A full moon illuminates chance,
A scroll unrolled,
The words of life and death tumble and fall.
God shines brighter than the moon,
Walking soundlessly in a garden
That no longer can be found
Am i waiting for you
Or are you waiting for me
