Magnum Opus

We were given an assignment to produce an A2 painting that depicts our choice our issue.

And since the issue we picked is POVERTY, my group has produced some sad-looking drawings.

Here you go, our magnum opus...

Healing one soul is as natural to us as breathing. When, like a tree dropping its leaves in winter, we stand unadorned, without self-consciousness, the Light enters us and we spontaneously heal.

The healing energy is at the core of our being and so, as we express our true nature, we become effortlessly creative. We discover that our lives are in fact delightfully choreographed and that an exquisite harmony lies at the heart of all things.

Whatever we create is beautiful, like the simple paintings splashed onto paper by young children or daubed onto rock by cavemen. Whatever we create is powerful, like the Diary of Anne Frank, written from a place of truth, not sophistication. Whatever we create is moving, like a peasant flute player in the Andes filling his stark valley with a sweet melancholy.

Sometimes our natural gifts sink out of sight in the stagnant beliefs we have soaked up like a sponge from our culture. Seeing this sets us free. Seeing that our vitality and well-being flow from an inner spring, not from outer phenomena, reconnects us with our source.

Poverty is the climate of insensitivity and intolerance. We should let loose our unique inner energy, our natural gifts, our healing power to cure this malady, shouldn't we?

3600 filmmakers joined a film making competition in 2006 in relevance to the theme - Food, Taste and Hunger. This film topped the competition by being adjudged the most popular short film.

This film is about the hunger and poverty brought about by Globalization. There are 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of the society. The people who live on the refuse of men to survive. What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.

You can make a difference.
