Back to the Roots - Acrylic On Stretched Canvas 36x24 inches by Artist Lana Radovic

~~With heaven emerged ...its skin touching like gentle leaves...Thoughts laid upon the questions...And all the answers in the roots of the trees...When sun rises on my side...It'll give you warmth through the branches of our souls...When sun fades away...It'll lean on the warm coast of your eyes...When you feel thirsty...It'll cover your lips with moist face of miracles...that walked this long road between down and sunrise...Between yesterday and tomorrow...In the branches of our own galaxy...Your stars converge and blend in a new universe…A forest of dreams...A fortress of what seems to be illusions…That continue to perish into a reality...carried by the winds of delight..In a fairytale that holds its silent love...In those tangled veins...traveling to the epicenter of the Earth ...savoring kisses emerged from a lost moonlit embrace................Writer & Painter - Lana Radovic - painting in progress... to be continued...

Alley of Winds - by Lana Radovic - 36x48in Acrylic On Stretched Canvas

...Light and meek float of the days,
Reflects the beauty of summery shift,
...Passage of sunny & vibrant rays,
Swirling its joy in wanderous drift.
Translucent poise and vibrant view,
...Alley of winds clearing the sight,
Merging of senses, mystic and new,
..Blending of visions, warm and bright

“The very flexibility and ease which make men's friendships so agreeable while they endure, make them the easier to destroy and forget. And a man who has a few friends, or one who has a dozen (if there be any one so wealthy on this earth), cannot forget on how precarious a base his happiness reposes; and how by a stroke or two of fate /a death, a few light words, a piece of stamped paper, a woman's bright eyes /he may be left, in a month, destitute of all.” Robert Louis Stevenson

If anyone tries to complicate your life, turn and walk away from them

If anyone tries to complicate your life, turn and walk away from them. ~Caroline Myss~

“We have to distinguish two classes of instincts, one of which, the sexual instincts or Eros, is by far the more conspicuous and accessible to study.... The second class of instincts was not so easy to point to; in the end we came to recognize sadism as its representative. On the basis of theoretical considerations, supported by biology, we put forward the hypothesis of a death instinct, the task of which is to lead organic life back into the inanimate state; on the other hand, we supposed that Eros ... aims at complicating life and at the same time, of course, at preserving it. Acting in this way, both the instincts ... would be endeavouring to re-establish a state of things that was disturbed by the emergence of life. The emergence of life would thus be the cause of the continuance of life and also at the same time of the striving towards death; and life itself would be a conflict and compromise between these two trends.” Sigmund Freud

Don't be afraid to get run over, if you want to live, Don't be afraid to wear your heart on another sleeve, Don't be afraid to claim your roads, sacrifices and dreams, Don't be afraid to stop the train of recreant extremes.

Don't be afraid to get run over, if you want to live,
Don't be afraid to wear your heart on another sleeve,
Don't be afraid to claim your roads, sacrifices and dreams,
Don't be afraid to stop the train of recreant extremes.

This life is yours more than will ever be,
This heart is yours and not born to flee,
This sky is yours loudly calling you out,
This blood is yours.. and no! it has no doubt...

That all you ever earned is righteously yours,
That all you ever gave up will now stop the trains,
That all you ever lost is behind the cowardly doors,
That all you ever suffered for will unlock the chains.

Don't be afraid to get run over, if you want to live,
Don't be afraid to wear your heart on another sleeve,
Don't be afraid to claim your roads, sacrifices and dreams,
Don't be afraid to stop the train of recreant extremes.

Bon Appetit - From Lana's Kitchen

All have a wonderful weekend and feel free to have an online "bite". Believe it or not, I've made over 400 of these in a sleepless night before morning work shift for my work "family" and colleagues @ a company event.
Reaction? - it's a great story of trust and truth - up in one of my future books. P.S. They taste even better than they look. Enjoy! ;)

Roll the dice

by Charles Bukowski if you’re going to try, go all the way. otherwise, don’t even start. if you’re going to try, go all the way. this could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe your mind. go all the way. it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days. it could mean freezing on a park bench. it could mean jail, it could mean derision, mockery, isolation. isolation is the gift, all the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. and you’ll do it despite rejection and the worst odds and it will be better than anything else you can imagine. if you’re going to try, go all the way. there is no other feeling like that. you will be alone with the gods and the nights will flame with fire. do it, do it, do it. do it. all the way all the way. you will ride life straight to perfect laughter, it’s the only good fight there is.

So pour the rain and feed the tribe!

So pour the rain and feed the tribe that clings to every devils bribe
So come on you losers you low-life sinners
satiate your hunger with the blood of winner!

Happiness lies ahead for those who cry; those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

*“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” Frederick Douglass
