The Fire From Within

Vasile Stan

The Fire From Within

Some morning advice from my Self to myself

Live as if you have never lived before
Love as if you have the whole Universe to give
Play with abandon like you are three again
Laugh as if God tickled your heart
Cry for the beauty of one flower at a time,
While knowing there are millions like it

Live as if you will never live thereafter
Love like a wildfire, never to be contained
Play as if you have only yourself around
Laugh with your eyes, hearing the giggle of the child in you
Cry for the music in you, awakened by the sunrise
that follows a starry night

Burn at the speed of tomorrow coming to
devour you anew with another wild day at heart.
Brush your teeth with the paste of Eternity
condensed into the moment.

Live your soul. Out loud.
Love from within. The infinite in you.
Play with the universe. In stride.
Laugh silently. In your Song.
Cry for no-Reason. To forget.

But never, never sleep. Inside

Be!
The fire.

    Love the powerful red juxtaposed beside the black and green. This is a very deep and layered work. I can feel the pulse of passion within this image. The delicate line work over ther bold red gives this work a mysterious dimension.

    Another beautiful work of art iCandor.

    Thank you so much again Silvia, the title was inspired by a book with the same title by Carlos Castanega.
    For me there is no more intense fire then the Passion for life and anything you touch and it touches you.

    Yes..
    the fire emerges and burns without discrimination.
    Out of desires..
    out of rememberings..
    out of projections.
    A sun without limitations
    Intensity..
    moulding hearts and minds.
    Rosa (Precious… feel this intensity…dazzling energy… from within)
