The Desert Wisdom
With the singing sands
Below the feet
Where the winds blows
Tuning in to the changes
Slipping in through
The sands of time
Dancing in the dunes
Is the wisdom of the flow
Nothing is what it seems
The desert tests the spirit
To transform the being
The desert teaches…
The many ways of survival.
Through the wisdom in change.

A writers soul emerges through the words written .
A painters soul emanates from between the colours in the canvas
The potters soul is afire in the fingers shaping the clay.
The singers soul breathes in the sounds created by the voice.
The dancers soul flows through in every movement in the moments.
The Soul is a restless wanderer
It breathes free not in captivity,
But in every movement of creation.
It cannot be fathomed or even sensed
Other than in the light of passion in the being.
For then the soul shines in its own light
For it has found its purpose of being.

Every life in this world
Is born with courage to thrive
And the courage to survive
It is a matter of recognising
And awakening to your courage
Courage has many facets
In you exists so many kinds of courage…
And each of us have different degrees of it.
There is courage is a dare that speaks to your truth
A dare that makes you confront
With the truth of you.
When was the last time you sensed courage?
Or lack of it in a certain situation? .
Courage that dares through physical challenges.
Enduring discomfort hurt
Or pain and even possible danger.
Then comes the emotional courage
To be able to confront
Your deepest fears and doubts
Having the ability to seek help
Express your inner feelings
Takes a great deal of courage too.
Not everyone can share their truths easily.
Have you ever been tongue tied and socially awkward?
Perhaps you need to work on being socially courageous.
Speaking with self confidence means assertive communication.
Connecting with people from all walks of life with ease.
Work on your voice and poise which helps in speaking publicly.
Have you sensed the need to learn more?
To educate yourself every now and then?
It is about being courageous to develop your intellectual strengths.
An ability to say’ I don’t know’ or admit’ I was wrong. ‘
Breaking the ego build up and allowing space to understand more
This also require the development of humility in great measures.
Somewhere deeply inter linked with morality and conscience.
In the ability to admit to mistakes to stand up for values and fight for rights
Upholding the principles with conviction & braving opposition.
Not many people find it easy to fight the odds. They give in.
To understand beyond the self calls for another type of courage
The empathically courageous will go beyond biases to get into the others persons perspective.
Empathy is a courage to sense the trials and tribulations of others.
Along with this is another kind of profound courage
An exploration of your own Spiritual truths.
This calls for conscious connections, remembering to honour your life, in and around you in every form.
Courage is an inner reserve
That actions from all of you
Your nature and nurture
Is unique so is your courage
And the way you are…
Explore what facets of courage has naturally become your strength in time.
And what facets do you need to build and develop in yourself.
Now when you think back of the many situations that you exemplified your courageous self.
Every thing you need is already within you
Waiting for you to trust yourself enough to recognize it.
Remember your courage is one of your many gifts of strength.
Acknowledge and use it wisely.

Light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light in you.
Savvy
We are beings of light
The light of the divine
Interconnects us all
Exchanging energy
Of the Universe in the flow
In our body our hands
Play a part in the exchange
Reaching out to help heal
They are Conduits of Divinity
In the fluidity of the flow
Helping heal and align
And manifest in prayer.
In the realms of spirit and soul
Divinity channels itself
Through portals of our being
In the awareness of Oneness.

Sometimes life makes you teach yourself many things…
Giving the benefit of doubt
There are many crossroads in life be it in a career with any organisation or in partnerships, or even personally between people or teams, where point of views are different and clash of perspectives on decisions are bound to occur.
Can you agree to disagree?
For most, it is challenging as its not always easy to come to terms with what affects you or makes you emotional. Yet learning ways to give the benefit of doubt, calls for development of strategic skills.
It is important to process any conflict of interest, you may have with others , first with your own self.
Check if you can find the root of your disagreement with a particular decision.
What is it that you are not aligned with?
Why are you feeling this way?
Empathic Perspectives
Then begin to imagine if you are able to bring empathy by setting aside your feelings on what you are yet unable to accept and think from the other persons perspective, does the view alter then? Does it change your thoughts a bit?
If you can alternatively, also think if you choose to agree, in the larger interest, does it benefit or can it make your team bond together.
Let’s also not discount the possibility of you having less information about the reasons for any decision taken.
Ultimately, whatever way you chose to think or act is your choice to take. But sometimes when it may seem impossible to make sense of things do remember, there is always more than what meets the eye!

Borders marked on maps
In time get etched onto our minds
But our heart knows not borders
Hope the heart leads
For then, the way appears
To bond without being bound
To fly free like a bird.
Unbound…

Sometimes comments to your posts can be a fodder for thoughts in synthesis…
I thank my good friend Fredrick from Katiemiafrederick.wordpress.com for the inspiring comment 🕊️🙏🕊️ on my yesterdays blog In flights of fancy /
A part of this poem began as a reply comment that turned into a post.
A flying bird’s perspectives are different from the ones on land.
Here is one such inspiration from up above…
You see states and nation across
I see endless land from up above
You see borders with rivalry
I see nature in different forms
From up close and afar.
I see humans with humanity
And at times without it too…
All of my life I have travelled
Across many a continents
In flights of freedom
High up in the air
With the wind in my wings
The sun moon & stars
And the sky for company
Flying high and low
A wanderer I am
And whenever I am tired
I choose to land
When and where I please.
There is no stopping me…🕊️

engulfed in trying to find
solutions for another.
Exercise equanimity and trust

Most importantly take care of
yourself.
