Being alive as a magical fusion of creativity and beauty Life, as we know it, is a mesmerizing amalgamation of creativity and beauty. Every moment we spend breathing, every beat of our heart, is a testament to the miraculous fusion of these two elements. Creativity is the driving force behind everything that surrounds us. It is the spark that ignites our passions and allows us to delve into the realms of imagination. From the intricate designs found in nature to the stunning works of art created by humans, creativity is the common thread that weaves through our existence. It is through creativity that we are able to innovate, invent, and express ourselves.
Of course, sometimes it is true that one person makes all the difference and sees what nobody else ever saw. Someone comes along who puts it all together in just the right way before anyone else, like Gutenberg and the printing press or Tesla and the induction motor. Tesla had the ability to hallucinate machines in his mind, in vivid 3D detail and he could alter and work on the machines without paper. In a flash, one day, after recovering from a tremendous illness, he saw the induction motor perfectly formed in his mind and as far as we know, nobody else came up with a brushless induction motor anywhere else.
But today, we pour concrete into molds of any shape and lace it with steel and raise floor after floor after floor, before we hide it all away with glass and more steel to make it beautiful. For most of human history, water was filthy and filled with parasites like cholera bacteria that people didn t even know were there because they couldn t see it before microscopes.
It is through creativity that we are able to innovate, invent, and express ourselves. Beauty, on the other hand, is the lens through which we perceive the world. It is in the vibrant colors of a sunrise, the delicate petals of a flower, and the harmonious melodies that fill the air.
“A Review of ‘Fusion: Poems of Life’ by Balroop Singh” by Barbara Leonhard
I enjoyed learning about Balroop. Here is her image and bio from her website, Emotional Shadows.
“A former teacher and an educator, a passionate reader, a published writer, I have always lived through my heart. My students have been my true inspiration and I have learnt many lessons of life while teaching them and interacting with them through discussions. Youngsters are like a breath of fresh air and you can speak your mind and heart spontaneously in their company. Their idealism and innocence always gave a new hope to me, strengthening my belief that our future is in safe hands.
I am a great nature lover, I love to watch birds flying home. The sunsets allure me with their varied hues that they lend to the sky. I can spend endless hours listening to the rustling leaves and the sound of waterfalls. The moonlight streaming through my garden, the flowers, the meadows, the butterflies cast a spell on me. Like the busy modern people, competing with each other at a breathtaking speed, I have also spent the best part of my life in pursuing all those chores and am so glad to have all the time for myself now.
I have all those blessings that a person can crave for. Happily married for 40+ years, I have four lovely grandchildren. I love to travel, read good books and poetry. My friends have always called me optimistic though I have my share of murky times. I draw my inspiration from people, which has become a habit now, may be because I have spent a lot of time in the company of students and parents whose observations helped my imaginative aspect. A published poet and author, I’ve written six poetry books and three non-fiction – self-help books. Visit my Amazon author page: goo.gl/X1NEFf
“Emotional Shadows” is all about people, their emotions, how emotions mould personalities and what is our role in all this.I am here to share my thoughts and experiences in my pursuit of happiness.”

Beauty has the power to uplift our spirits, evoke emotions, and inspire awe. It is a language that transcends words and speaks directly to our souls. Beauty reminds us of the wonders that exist in the world and invites us to embrace them. When creativity and beauty merge, the result is a breathtaking symphony of life. It is in the brushstrokes of a masterpiece, the melody of a song, and the dance of a performance. It is in the architecture that combines form and function, the fashion that showcases individuality, and the cuisine that tantalizes our taste buds. It is in the stories we tell, the photographs we capture, and the gardens we cultivate. Creativity and beauty intertwine to create a world that is rich with possibilities and brimming with splendor. Being alive means being part of this magical fusion of creativity and beauty. It means having the ability to appreciate and participate in the creation of art, music, literature, and more. It means finding inspiration in the simplest of things and allowing our own creativity to flourish. It means recognizing the beauty that exists around us and within us, and sharing it with the world. In the grand tapestry of life, each of us has a unique role to play. We are all artists, creators, and admirers in our own right. We have the power to shape our reality and infuse it with creativity and beauty. Embracing this power and expressing it in our own individual ways is what makes our existence truly magical. It is what allows us to connect with others, to build communities, and to leave a lasting impact. So let us never forget the extraordinary gift of being alive. Let us celebrate the fusion of creativity and beauty that permeates our lives. Let us embrace the opportunity to create, to appreciate, and to share the magic with others. For it is in this fusion that we find purpose, joy, and fulfillment. It is in this fusion that we find the essence of what it means to be alive..

I found "Being alive as a magical fusion of creativity and beauty" to be pretentious and inaccessible. The author seemed more interested in showing off their vocabulary than actually conveying a meaningful message. The writing was convoluted and lacked clarity, leaving me feeling confused and frustrated. Overall, I did not enjoy this book and would not recommend it.

I was initially intrigued by the title of "Being alive as a magical fusion of creativity and beauty," but unfortunately, the content did not live up to my expectations. The book came off as overly self-indulgent and indulged in abstract ideas without providing any concrete examples or relatable experiences. It felt like a collection of random thoughts rather than a cohesive narrative. While the author's passion for creativity and beauty is evident, I struggled to find any practical takeaways or deeper insights. Disappointing read.
- David - 2 stars
"Being alive as a magical fusion of creativity and beauty" promised an exploration of the human experience through the lens of art and inspiration. However, I found the book to be unfocused and meandering. It jumped between different topics without providing sufficient depth or analysis. The metaphors and imagery used were often convoluted, making it challenging to connect with the author's message. While there were occasional moments of insight, they were overshadowed by the overall lack of coherence. I was ultimately underwhelmed by this book.
