*He did not need his specs to see His vision of such clarity Of what we needed to be free To live our lives in harmony
Send hate to an obscurity View war as a perversity Stand up, but with passivity Choose all your choices peacefully*
This painting was inspired by the wisdom of a great man of peace, Mahatma Gandhi. How quickly society has forgotten the wisdom he strove to bring to us, and the sacrifices he made of himself in doing so. In a nutshell, Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy was one of equality for all, peace, and social development with respect and dignity for the poor.
I hope this tribute artwork has helped you to remember and reflect on Gandhi’s important messages to us all, especially with the increasingly violent and troubled times we are living in.
=opps.. I ment to tell you we would love this image in
Thank you, Linaji! I would love to add this to the group. I have just been reading about all the changes in India due to the ever-growing industrialized westernization in this month’s National Geographic. So sad when cultures succumb to greed and the promise of wealth. It will not lead down a good path, as just look at what is happening in America right now due to the greed of the large corporations.
beautiful image — I was just at his cremation site in Delhi last week — a beautiful quite place with many of his quotes — what an inspiration — dave
Thank you, David. Gandhi’s words are always an inspiration to me to regain my balance again when I find myself starting to succumb to the pressures of our modern society.
Absolutely brilliant painting. Love your simple use of lines and shadows! A wonderful reminder of a powerful philosophy we could all embrace! Congrats on the ImageWriting feature!
Thank you, Joanne! If we remind each other enough… we may begin to remember without the reminder :)
