Repose

I like the moments of morning calm

Before the world wakes up

I find the time for reflection in gratitude 

For nature in and around me.

The night helps settle the density

Of racing thoughts in time.

Like water becomes clearer in stillness.

The calm and quiet of early dawn

Surfaces peace and clarity.

Mirroring the truth of the moments.

Emerging  in the space of stillness.

As all  the agitations drop as sediments

To repose the restless waters in calm

Realising the value of patience

Therein is the grace of effortless ease.

Shades of Milk

I wrote this piece years ago. Yet nothing much has changed in spite of so much awareness. Milk and milk products adulteration is still rampant . Sharing this again for it is relevant and it matters.

What are your immediate thoughts On the above picture? I am not a milk consumer, but at home, everyone loves plenty of yoghurts to go along with food. In fact, it is considered to be appropriate for digestion, and as Indians, we often tend to finish the meal with some buttermilk. For the past few […]

Be like a cat

“When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and […]

Perseverance

In the lowest tide of life

Gather energies sincerely.

In the depth of silence

Delve into your own self.

Acknowledging your situation

Yes, in this space, exists

Solutions,answers and the pathway

To everything you need to know

And as it reveals itself, sense it all.

Feel the power of possibilities

And the infinite potential

In perseverance of purpose.

Who said life is transactional?

On doing good

You do good

You go the right way

You speak the right language

You live righteously

You choose the right approach

You are kind and  compassionate

You act with integrity

But life happens to you

Situations experiences

Circumstances and events

Through you into a maze

Of confusion and chaos

Just like any other

You are left wondering why

Why me, when I keep choosing the good?

Now that’s your turning point

The point of saturation

When light dawns on you.

Life is not transactional

It is transformational.

On Knowing Your Worth

A lesson to learn!!! A father before he died said to his son: “this is a watch your grandfather gave me and is more than 200 years old. But before I give it to you, go to the watch shop on the first street, and tell him I want to sell it, and see how […]

Rhythm that grounds you

Music speaks

Tunes us from within

With melody,lyrics, beats

And through it all 

Is the rhythm

That drives home

A strong rhythm

Makes itself felt

In every cell of being.

Speaking of strength of rhythm, many songs comes to mind but today the music I choose to share about is a spiritual one that immediately engages your attention and how… it will ground you as much as it makes you move in simply listening to it.

I am speaking about the Ganapathy Talam.

Here is a beautiful energetic rendition

You can listen to my full episode The Rhythm That Grounds You on my podcast Path of Clarity,  it is a personal take on this magnetic piece of music.

And speaking of rhythm, do feel free share your favourite  piece of rhythm as well.

One who believes learning has no age or defined boundaries And goes on to prove it by completing her graduation. Another who values the needs and heartfelt intentions of another and […]

Resilience

Life is…

Resilient by nature

For it is the way of Nature

To survive the odds.

I captured this random  picture of resilience standing tall and proud along the way in the form of a full grown tree. It was during one of my trips to coastal areas of  India. The state of the trunk caught my attention.

Just a message of no matter what is taken away , there is always hope of growth on the anvil.

If we care to observe resilience  imprints on every life , we will probably develop a deeper understanding of life  in the living and learn to respect and nurture it.
