Soul birds




Some days ago I just gave a google search for ,,soul bird" and I found extremely interesting drawings made by someone called Sri Chinmoy...whoever he is, and whatever he writes, does or believes in, I was happy to look at his bird drawings.....child drawings made with wisdom - who would need more?


Sri Chinmoy’s soul-bird drawings have been exhibited in major galleries around the world. Each soul-bird takes flight in the spiritual heart, soaring within an inner silence, and when seen in their thousands leaves the viewer with the feeling of quiet peace, satisfaction, harmony and an inner thrill.
To see a piece of art
Is a pleasant experience.
To feel a piece of art
Is a permanent realisation.
~Sri Chinmoy

The Sorting Hat


Soon after its release in bookstores everywhere in the world, I bought my own copy of the last Harry Potter volume, in English (wow!...) - it just sounds better in the original form and it helps me improve my English.


Some questions came along with reading the book: is it really a book for children? No, I don't think so...not necessarily :)


Is it about wizardry? Well in my opinion everyhting is just a background for what it's really important: that countinuous conflict between good and evil that exists in each one of us...this is how I see it...it's not just Harry, it could have been anyone in his place: me , you, anyone. It's about everyday life, dressed in a metaphor, a charming one ;) We all have fears, dark spots in our life, shadows, and we all need and receive the tears of a Phoenix bird :)....if we're lucky enough ;)


And well....could everything, or anyone be totally white....or totally black ? totally good or totally evil? of course not; some characters are on the thin line between those two, and finally, that inner conflict, and one's choice are the only things that matter :)
