I’m free to do everything I just wish. I need go nowhere but lie in a bed and gaze at a ceiling all day long. The incurables are free to do everything they want. Is it not the fantastic?! I’m the disabled and fear just complaining for … While writing to you, I suddenly sunk into nowhere … completely and for a long… I wouldn’t share my perfect technique with you, because it wasn’t the conscious meditation, but the aftermath of the mixture of my head trauma with the diabetes. But your reading wasn’t in vain. As you see, my pictures are waiting for you… Have a look.
Freedom is the sacred dream of the most – the hero of my pictures.Wow, is it not the strange? To be free means to be of no need to anybody… Does anybody want to feel himself the needless?
Who is on a throne?
It looks as if search engines win over the word of mouth, but can it be thus?
What do you think? Why does it happen thus?

Thank you for the comments, dear vajradaka
I am not sure for what was wanted to say by you, but I greatly appreciate your choice to drop a line to me.
The meditation helps us to live and it is the precious just because of that. However, the mediation for the sake of meditation looks like a hiding from oneself but not the sharing of the light that’s present for sure even at deepest night.

Tomas, first of all, thankyou for sharing your beautiful art.
Your comments in this post are very stimulating and challenging even. I am most interested to learn more.
Has your experience of illness stimulated your creativity, or were you this creative before you became what you call “disabled”? By the way, I’m not at all sure about that word, it seems to me that you have many great abilities which are not so “normal” in “abled” people. And it’s this point that I find most interesting. I don’t accept that there is a world of the healthy and a different one of the sick. I think it was Susan Sontag who argued that the sick leave the land of the healthy and are only granted temporary visas back into the land of the healthy from time to time. No, I think health is something in its own right – not the mere absence of sickness or suffering.
My own working understanding of health is of a person who copes (who adapts to change), of someone who is creative, and of someone who is engaged with others and with the world.
From this perspective, Tomas, you are in good health!

Thanks for the beautiful feedback, dear bobleckridge
It was fine to read you, but I am hard to answer your questions on my health state.
Of course, you have the right “don’t accept that there is a world of the healthy and a different one of the sick”. That sounds nice and it helps the sick in recovering from various depressions – motivates them trust in self. Your words sound like a talk of a good therapist, thank you.
Unfortunately, my bodily weakness and strong headaches don’t allow denying the reality of the world of the sick.
In spite of that, I tend to agree with you- the healthy and the weak walk the same path – both worlds share between the same ground and rejoice at the same sky, but what does it mean in the concrete?
Your question on the impact of my illness to my creativity is too above my potency to answer, because we either love, or talk about the love (we either are creative and create or we just reason about the creativity and rejoice at wise theories that appears such way. But what costs the wisest theory without the adequate deeds?
People either love or talk about the love. Personally I am used to paint. That’s for sure so.
I am sorry if my writing in foreign language (with the vocabulary in hand) made my hearty reply the cloudy, but you see my visual stories and I hope you have felt my gratitude. Thank you once more.
Hope to see you on my blogs again and again. My archives are large. You will find here lots of inspiring insights.
