The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – Meraki (Greek).
Not every masterpiece is framed in gold
Some bloom in moments, quiet & untold.
A meal prepared with weathered hands
A dream sketched softly in shifting sands.
Meraki is the whisper in the thread
The gentle hope in words unsaid.
It’s leaving pieces of our heart behind
In thoughtful acts of the spirit & mind.
It is the sunrise painted in our eyes
The courage hidden where fear still lies.
Not for applause, nor fleeting praise
But, for presence & joy that lights our days.
To live with meraki is to believe
That love can mend, that hands can weave
A little magic into the ordinary
Making the simple feel extraordinary.
So, pour ourselves into all we create
A painting, a garden, a well-worn slate.
For what the world remembers most, we’ll see
Is not perfection
But our soul set free.
Create not because the world demands it
But, because our talent
Refuses to remain silent.
For the truest art is not created
By gifted hands alone
But, by a self-assured heart
That refuses to stay absent
From its own passion.
That beautiful heart
Has always known
Meraki.
