the 'Fist' & the 'Pacifist'

Monday, May 22, 2006

The world is painted in water color. Our lives are in Oil.

The sky, the blue bleeds into the light gray, the light gray coalesces into the deep. And then there is the citrine sun, which spreads itself into everything and nothing. No lines, only swathes. No colors, only hues. No finalities, only Intermediates. No satiety, only permeations. No endings, only transitions.

Lives are in Oil. Births and Deaths. Friends and Enemies. Marriages and Divorces. First Dates and Last farewells. Blinding light and dark tunnels. Stark colors. Disparate ironies. Love and Hurt. Flamingo red and burnt sienna. David and Goliath. Truth and Lies. Yours and mine.

One of your best posts. Thought-provoking. As far as using metaphors go, this is brilliant.

If I had in any way goaded you into posting, I shall flick my collar up and give myself a self-congratulatory pat on the back. :D

This one requires thought. Thanks Rohan.

Hi Prerona,

Thank you to you, for visiting 'the fist & the pacifist'.
That was my first bloggers meet, enjoyed myself - wish I could have stayed longer.

Cheers!

Hi Lalita,

Glad you liked it. I figured this on a cigarette break at office.

Your mail, actually did trigger the post. I am lazy - yes its true - they did base Garfield on me.

Cheers!

Anti-Establishment!

Thanks for dropping by.
Andaleeb & J, have their respective balls too much in a vice, to muse over CH Compound Ironies.

Keep dropping by.

Cheers!

I remember once you had mentioned the moon as a "citrine disc" and I had been fascinated by the epithet.

Was nice to see it here again.

Yes, that was what grabbed me too. Citrine sun. Fascinating.

Yeah. Citrine disc. Pretty neat huh?

Have to come up with some more killer metaphors, huh!!

Appreciate the appreciation.

Cheers!

wonderful template design, isnaini or self-written html? I'm abysmally css illiterate, I get by by stealing the basic stylesheet and manipulating it. oh, and can i crow? rijula's template's done by me as well ;-}

call me dumb, but i saw a mental reel of monet's water lilies, japanese footbridge et al whiz by while i was reading your post.
