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.

Sitting in meditation-aurora borealis

Posted on by

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.

Standing above a city of lights

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

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

Snowy and i

Posted on by

Hi everyone, i hope you are ok. No, i genuinely hope you are ok. I have been working very hard but i thought this photo might bring a smile to your face. My owl’s name is Snowy. I got him while in hospital because i saw him in a shop and really wanted him. I always thought a bird on my shoulder might be helpful. Someone to whisper warm words of advice. My mum brought him to the hospital. I was so happy and grateful.

All my ward mates wanted to play with him. Hence why he is a bit grey, but it was totally worth it. Snowy distracted us from our pain at the hospital.

The message today is this, i know the world can be a harsh place. I know people can be harsh towards you. But see it as their learning experience in life, and disconnect from it. It is their problem to fix, not yours. Whatever it is you can find in your life today, that will give you peace and quiet, and a little happiness. Hold on to that. Whether it is your cup of home brewed tea, your good book or a teddy bear. Peace comes from within, it comes from letting go of the world, and letting go of the people who didn’t treat you right. Wish them well, one day they may be different. But you are the most important person in your life. Be a little happy today, breathe a little. Love yourself a little more. And remember God is there if you need to talk to him.

The God and Goddess uniting under the chalice of life

Posted on by

Resting in each other’s arms, the God and Goddess aspect uniting under the chalice of life. Seated on wings, lifted by a blue aura of protection, concealed in the void.

God comforting me, talking to angels

Posted on by

You know we all have those difficult and hard days, where nothing seems to go right and we just feel so down.

God is on our side, always. Even if you don’t believe in God-he believes in you. Even if he has to wait till the end of time for you to recover and regain your former strength, he has the patience to do so. We are all one and drawing him reminds us so.

God comforting me, and listening to the angels talking. Sometimes i hear a group of angels talking to me in my head. God is saying Hey it’s ok
