Unintentional Art and Thoughts on Design

Meditations on Unintentional Art

with Some Thoughts on Design

of Toys and Everyday Objects.

Madhuban incense cones.

"The damsels of  Brindaban, 

the place where Lord Krishna

grew up had profound love for him...

.....

...they rushed to Madhuban,

the scenic woods by the sacred river

Yamuna to drink of the Devine Music

and dazzlement by His Beauty so great

that the damsels broke off all

restrictions imposed by 

society and the scriptures.

In this picture on the front,

a Gopi, as the damsels of Brindaban

were known, is seen lost in love

of the lord in the Beautiful Madhuban

drinking Rasa -- the nectar

of supreme happiness -- 

from the Lord of Rasa, Krishna

who is pure Consciousness,

pure Bliss, pure Love and pure Rasa

in their purest and most sublime forms."

flourishes everywhere.

waits for the frame

that occurs in Mind.

The eye looks, but only Mind sees.

Unintentional Art:

hiding, enduring, silent,

worn out, rusted, fading,

abandoned beauty.
