Books

I wonder…

What constitutes a good read?

A prose, a poem

A verse, or a couplet

A stanza, a paragraph

A page in a book

That begins to draw our attention

Compelling us to read more…

Books 📚

Somewhere in our hearts

Emerge words of emotions

Birthed in feelings

We begin to identify with words

In the pages of the books we read

It starts to make sense

To connect us with ourselves

For a fleeting moment at times

Or it makes us linger on

For it takes us places & spaces

That matters much to us

Somewhere in our hearts 💕

Somewhere in our mind

We know a good book

We appreciate the substance

We allow the words we read

To touch of thoughts

To influence our life

It makes a difference

A positively impactful difference.

Stringing words

I came across a set of some very fancy words today …

And I immediately couldn’t resist  finding the string of connection in them.

It all began, having a little reverie
Laying at early dawn, sensing the peiskos.
With open French windows
It was a gentle, zephyr morning
My heart was in a fika state.
Feeling the munificience
my thoughts were aliferous
As a philocalist of nature
It felt as if there was redemancy from nature
In the querencia of my being.

I enjoyed  this little creative writing practice for today.

Yes,I must add some of these words were completely new to me that I checked their meanings. And some I have come across earlier . 

I have highlighted all the words .If you enjoy this, feel free to string your own versions of verses incorporating  all these words and share them below. Would love to read.

What would you remember?

A story makes it easy to put things  perspective

For stories can reach the heart of man.

I am sharing such a story from my  social media forwards  this morning…

A guru asked a married young man to stand up during one of his speeches.

The Guru said:

“Imagine you are walking on a beach. A young, beautiful woman is walking toward you.
What would you do?”

The young man immediately replied:

“I would look at her, admire her personality and appreciate her.”

The Guru asked:

“After she walks past, would you look back at her?”

The young man said:

“Yes, if my wife isn’t with me.”
(Everyone in the crowd laughed)

The Guru then asked again:

“How long do you think you’ll remember that beautiful face?”

The young man smiled and replied:

“Until I see another beautiful face… Maybe 5-10 minutes.”
(And he smiled again.)

Then the Guru said to him:

“Now imagine this… As you leave this place, I give you a package of books.
I ask you to deliver this package to a wealthy man who lives 75 kilometers away.

You reach his house to deliver the books. From the moment you see the house, you realize he’s a billionaire.

There are 10 cars in the veranda of his mansion, and 5 security guards standing outside.

Once you send word of your arrival, the honorable man himself comes out to welcome you.
He receives the book package from you.

As you’re about to leave, he politely invites you inside.

He sits beside you, offers you hot tea and food.
He treats you with kindness and thanks you sincerely for delivering the books so quickly.

As you get ready to return, he asks how you came.
You say, ‘By local train.’

Immediately, he calls his driver and asks him to drop you at your destination in one of his luxury cars.

When you reach your destination, the billionaire calls you and asks,
‘Brother, did you reach comfortably?’”

The Guru then asked:

“Now tell me, how long will you remember this man?”

The young man replied:

“Guruji, despite being such a wealthy man, because of his humble and loving behavior,
I could never forget him in my lifetime.”

Addressing the room full of youngsters, the Guru said:

“This is the reality of life.
A beautiful face will be remembered for a short time.
But a beautiful character will be remembered for a lifetime.

Instead of focusing on the beauty of your face or body,
focus on the beauty of your behavior.

That’s what will make your life interesting, unforgettable, and inspiring to others.”

Moral:
Outer beauty fades with time, but inner beauty—your character, your kindness—leaves a lasting impression.

Cultivating purpose

Every time you spend

In cultivating purpose

In patience and passion

With a dedicated perseverance

You are inviting an earnestness

That helps you discover yourself

You are far more

Than you choose to believe

Or give yourself credit for.

As you find your purpose

You find yourself evolving

And closer you are to contentment

In living life lovingly every day.

Let yourself fly…

Go with the wind & fly free

Unafraid of the uncertainty

Sometimes, the chances you take

In going with the flow

You find yourself

Lost at first, maybe,

Yet, right where u are meant to be.

Think about it this way

Every way seems to make sense.

Fly free.

It’s Possible

Light
A space of darkness
Is bound to beam with light

Clarity
A space of uncertainty
becomes a space of clarity.

Breath
In the inhale of purpose
Perseverance exhales with passion

Thoughts
In the racing of thoughts
A quiet mind finds itself.

Mind
A mind that allows itself to know
Can be inclusive in expansiveness.

Heart
A heart that wanders
Can be the heart that wonders
Of the yet unknown.
Flowing unbridled with spirit
It can find its anchor in time.

Peace
A place of great unrest
Is truly the place for peace.
To seed and nurture
And evolve the being.

Success
Success births itself
In every bud to a bloom.
In every new moment.

On Creativity

Art of creativity
Is to acknowledge
The flow of possibilities
Shaping seemingly
Lifeless matter
To birthing life in art

Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.

To train the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge in confidence
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of infinite creative capabilities.

P.s : I enjoyed painting this Art work above. It was created  by me on my phone while traveling  somewhere in Europe.

Own your truths

Mistakes we all make

In life there are ups , downs

But stability  comes

In knowing where you are.

What you are doing

How you are feeling

Doing what you do.

And course correcting

In case it feels not quite there.

Then in sharing your thoughts

Your life’s learning

To those on the path next

It’s a way of opening hearts

To express without fear of ridicule

Even if your misses are many, 

And roads made you lose ur way

You still found yourself

And are here breathing

Living in this now .

So there, do try to own your truths

Misses and wins

You share as you learn

And learn as you share.

Limitless being

Unframe & Reframe

Breakthroughs happen 

In the unframing.

As you break through limiting yourself

From cycles of conditioning

You will realize the truths

Of your potential.

You are far more

Than you allow yourself

To believe.

So move beyond

Cycles of limitations

Choose to  rise above & see beyond

And over the challenges

Change the narrative

Reframe your thoughts

You are more than you know now

Sustain yourself

To find your limitless being.

Brew the bonds

Bonds that last

Are brewed in time

Simmered in the scorching of life

Infused in the palette of senses

Softened in the brushes of love

Textured in the treasure of experiences.

Blended in balance of emotions

Wafting through in the tasting

Every sip connects deeper

Strengthening the spirit

Awakening the feelings

Bonding in the being

In this now & forever.

Healing in your hands

Tap away the voice in your head.
Tap into your own healing touch.
Tap away the doubt and hesitation.
Tap into the ray of light.

Tap away the fear and confusion.
Tap into self-confidence and dare.
Tap away anger and disconnect.
Tap into your inner wisdom.

Tap away mindless distractions.
Tap into your inner silence.
Tap away the ego that bounds you
Tap into the dark spaces & let light in.

Yes, tapping away and tapping into, is a critical holistic skill for a more balanced life. While it’s not as easy as it sounds , for tapping away and into your healing energy can be both an emotional experience, yet the body regenerates itself in the journey of love & light.

The light of the source

Growing on an uncharted path,

All by yourself

Blossoming from inner faith

A strength of belief

Rises you up from within

That you project to the world

Sharing hope and happiness

So, like the delicate flowers

So full of perseverance

Arising  from bud to bloom

Dancing with the wind

Come rain or sun…

You share as you grow…

Beauty is in and around you

Radiating for all to see…

The light of the source.

I am sharing this hopegiving poem I just wrote.

We are all beings of light, moving towards our purpose in our own unique ways. With so much hope within each of us to know and understand along the way…

May we acknowledge and bloom in the light of the source we are created from.
