Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows
Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why
And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.

Meet life.

Know you
All That You Seek Around You Already Have Within You
All the knowing
That you may need
You have enough
Seek your truth
Around and within
You are enough
Already all is within you
Have trust hope and faith
Within you all is awaiting
You to know, You.

The paradox of love
Love is strange
Love pulls you in opposing ends
Love makes you feel happy
In one moment and sad in another
Love alters your life
Love is a beautiful blessing
Sometimes way too complex
Most times really simple.
Yet a challenge to sustain
Love changes many colours
But love colours life
Life cannot thrive without love.
As life has no meaning without love.
But first you need to love yourself
Before you begin to love another
Live life lovingly!

Be open to receive
Be open to receive.
Sharing a Tamil story translation by my mother Anjana.
I found this piece written by her today morning and shared as I felt many times we are ourselves in the way of our blessings. There is so much abundance, we are yet not ready to hear, take, care to see, that we miss partaking the joy of having them, often because our own ignorance, ego or lack of awareness comes in the way. All the abundance mean nothing if we are not ready to receive it.
Let’s be open ready to receive…
It was raining heavily. Grand mother was sitting in the verandah and her little granddaughter was playing nearby… So the grandmother told her granddaughter so much water is going waste,so keep a big vessel to fill clean water.
The girl who was playing refused to listen. So the grandmother noticed it and said sternly, Is just keeping the big vessel in the rain a big job? Go and keep it in the open. Grandma ordered. The girl went with half mind.
After some time when it stopped raining, Grandma got up to happily bring the vessel full of water.
She was shocked to see ,not a drop of water was collected.
The girl has kept the vessel upside down , just as it was kept inside!
Of course there was plenty of rain, but the vessel was not ready to collect a single drop.
Same like the Universe is filled with Divine blessings. But our hearts are not open to receive it. If we are ready with open heart the Cosmic Abundance will be in harmony with us.
Tamil Story translation by my mother Anjana.

Be to Become
Be all that you can
To become all that you want
Becoming what you want to be
Is a journey in time
Of highs and lows
To become is to envision
To intend consistently
The very same vision day in and out
To persevere time and time again
Without losing sight of your intent
To be passionate about what you are
To have patience in waiting
As you inch closer and closer
To become what you want to be.
And trust, what you are meant to be
Will always find a way!

Hope beyond despair
Yesterday night a quote caught my eye…
Continue readingYou will continue to suffer if you
Warren Buffet
have an emotional reaction to
everything that is said to you
True power is sitting back and
observing things with logic. True
power is restraint. If words
control you that means everyone
else can control you. Breathe
and allow things to pass
A quick question.
Just a quick question…
How many of you writers, have felt people equating your creative writing with your life?
As a writer I do know that creativity comes up in the most unexpected moments. It may have or not at all have anything to your own experiences. Much of the creative process can happen in attention to details as a keen observer, in witness mode , in associations of thoughts and feelings and in sensing emotions in empathy, concern or care, that may have or not have any personal connotations.
Writing is the freedom of expression in flights of imagination, its a beautiful art and that is free for interpretation once it has been published. For the writer has chosen to let it go…
How it came to be, is a mystery sometimes to the Author too😉

Read as you please
Read as you please…
For I choose to let it go.
What I wrote yesterday
And what I write today
Depends on what inspired
Between the then and now.
Often as a writer
If I take a stand
And my words
Are strong enough
To impact another
In more ways than one…
Simply know I write
With all my heart and soul
And trust myself, to let it go
To make space in me
For more to explore and discover.
As any poet will,
I witness and listen
To each moment
As it plays out
And I sense and feel
When I think and write…
Choose not to see me
In these words,
What I will write about next
Is mystery to me too…
For as any creative artist
I may choose to make words dance
For me and for you..
Different dances
For different days
Some light and breezy
Some deep and intense.
Sometimes words emerge
Out of nowhere
To self arrange themselves
All I do is follow the flow…
Sometimes these words strike
A chord deep in you and me
And that is where the words
Find their purpose to be.
Words are mere words
Feelings make all the difference
And feelings differ day to day…
So read my words, as you please
For I choose to let it go.

Irony of Advice
Stay calm
Don’t lose cool
Have no expectations
Let go
Move on
Easy to advise
Difficult to practice
Telling truth as it is
Such is the irony of advice.

A leap of faith
A leap of faith
Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go.
Be intentional
So that life doesn’t slip away
Take the chance
May be they turn out
The best decision of your life.
They say opportunity does not knock twice.. So take a leap of faith.
So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul…
Trust you can and you can!

I feel therefore I am
If I were to keep feelings aside
I would perhaps become cold
And impersonal
Perhaps I may function perfectly
Like a robot.
Wonder if I would be well at all
For feelings are a great balancer.
To repress our feelings
And take decisions would make our decisions lopsided.
I am therefore I feel
I feel therefore I am.
Whether it’s personal or professional decisions, our feelings do make a difference and play a role in our decisions. We can perhaps bring to awareness how we are feeling in the Now and use this mindfully to bring a sense of balance in our thoughts & actions. But to think or say, we can be completely devoid of it is not necessarily true for we are built in such a way where our emotions, feelings and our thoughts in every moment is deeply interconnected, in more ways than one.
Feelings of empathy compassion and acts of kindness are deeply entwined.
How you are being in the now has much to do with how you are feeling.
To do anything well you need all of you & your senses to come together. How we choose to act upon our feelings and in what manner will depend on us.
Awareness is the key.
Do share your thoughts…

True friends
It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.
Henry Ward Beecher
True friends trust
In each other
They find comfort
And care to share & listen
The truth of what it is
Without fear or favour.
For they know the value
Of authentic advice
Without frills and fancies
Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.
True friends matter
To each and every one of us.
We are better because of them
In trust, love, care & faith.
Count the blessings
Of true friends in this now.
How many such true friends can one count in life?

A Spread of Cheer!
Sharing one of my earlier paintings today,
‘A Spread of Cheer! ‘
I personally love seeing it once again for its vibrant bouquet of colours.
Paintings have a way of depicting the emotions the painter carries…
Can imagine the joy and recreate the moment of bliss and wonder while I was painting it years ago.
Here’s to Health, Joy, Love, Happiness and all the positives in life …

Learnings from a tree
Today is a new day…
Like a flowering tree blooming everyday, with hopeful buds
Make a promise to yourself to live and greet each day with enthusiasm.
Yesterday is gone by and today is a new day…
Let not your past
Come in the way
Of all that you are
Leave yesterday
And live today.
For your present
Is what matters
The past is lived
And this now
Is yours to live.
