In Praise of Shadows...

We Orientals find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and darkness which that thing provides. - Jumichiro Tanizaki

Heaven can wait...

Welcome to my eclectic blog. I am absolutely thrilled that you stopped by.

There are so many things to be done, so many places to be explored, so many emotions to be experienced, so much beauty to be created, that heaven can simply wait till we are done. Or can it?

One of my favorite movie directors, the fabulous Federico Fellini, believed that heaven was not a place, but a feeling. I agree as it is really up to us to create heaven in our hearts and minds and to experience bliss every single day no matter what our circumstances may be. Simple pleasures are often the most gratifying ones...

My only hope is that this blog will promote cultural curiosity and a sense of discovery in my readers.
