Are you feeling lonesome and blue?

Are you lonely and perhaps  feeling lost?

Are you afraid of being lonely?

Loneliness is a silent killer.

Not easy to deal with. It can catch  you when you are least aware.And it may seem challenging with the changing season.

Every person alive might have to battle it in different  degrees one time or another  in their lifetime .

Often it may be, the fear of ending up alone that people make wrong personal choices. 

Often those very choices are the reason one feels lonely.

For there are times you can be feeling lonely in a room full of people.

Sometimes you have a life partner but feel there is no true companionship.

Sometimes you are actually alone with nobody around and hence feel lonely.

Circumstances may be different  and varied for every one but the condition is one, of being lonely.

There is a thoughtworthy words I read, that comes to mind on loneliness.

Loneliness is the poverty of the self

Solitude is the richness of the self.

Now that changes the perspective doesn’t it .

What you envision your life, life becomes, such is the power of visualization and intention.

No matter where you are or who you are with,

Remember, you are never truly lonely if you flip the script…

Think you have you

Value the life you have

You are alive as yet

And you are enough for you.

Musical Greats

Author Douglas Adams describes the  three stalwarts of music…  “Beethoven tells you what it is like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it’s like to be human. Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe.”

Interesting quote with so much said in just a line on the three gifted geniuses and their world of  music.

Although considered  to be a revolutionary  its always beautiful to enjoy the music of  Beethoven and his magical Moonlight Sonata and  Symphony no 5.

The melodious music of Mozart  is remarkable  for  his amazing  pace and harmony and balance of light and dark tones of life  with a humanistic touch in musical  themes. 

The spiritually profound music of Bach reflects his deep faith in God and his inate intellectuality. Known to have deeply influenced  Mozart,  Bach was a prolific musician having  composed more than thousands of musical  pieces in his lifetime.

On Wisdom

What to speak of wisdom?

Tommorows wisdom

Is open to learn

From the errors in this now.

In the listening, in the living

In the feeling in the sensing.

So much to understand…

Question remains are we open

to acknowledge  the misses,

as a part of being human ?

Are we ready to receive

from these experiences…

Seeking wisdom in the lessons.

Effortless movements

When you move

Move with energy

Allow the movements

To flow through you

And from you harmoniously

As you move you will sense

The effortlessness of  movements

With practice it becomes a flow

Dare your doubts

Have you faced self doubts and challenges  in uncertainty

Have you been unsure of yourself to take a decision. 

Here is an approach  that actually  changes the equation.

Instead of focusing on your doubts focus on your abilities. 

Value yourself

Dare your self doubts

Persevere in patience

To build on your skills

Keep the faith in you

Focus on your strengths

Add insights in exploration

Dissolve your selfedoubts

Work on your positives

Own your competences.

A tiny seed

A tiny seed is inspirational

To push past the mighty earth

And assert itself in this world

Bearing abundant fruits

Blossom with  beautiful flowers

And thrive into a towering tree…

All happens well in faith.

Dance of matter

Every move has  a reaction

In the cause  and effect world

Forms shifting shapes

Colours changing  hues

Where even the blink of an eye

A touch of the breeze

Or even a silent intention

Can set off a symphony in response

For all is aligned in connection.

Twisted or helical structure

In a Self arranging universe 

Reflecting retracting

Rotating revolving

Tuning  itself in time

Blending in the balancing

Altered by sensitivity in subtlety

Interplay of Intelligence

Telling phenomenonal stories

Holding immense possibilities

In its infinite potential

Awaiting mindful application

In the journey of awakenings .

All is a dance of matter.

Miracle of Autumn

Miracle of autumn

Colours changing season

Rich burnt orange rust

Fill leaves of green as they fall

As if announcing arrival of fall

Signaling animals and birds

To prepare ahead of the cold

Of winters frost on the anvil

To brace the changing weather.

A season of love & embrace

Of  long walks with loved ones.

Of long nights and shorter days

That heads through to winter.

Make the best of the changes.

Strength of Interconnects

Sometimes what’s truly profound

Can be profoundly simple.

The strength of interconnects

Is about the strength in self support

In the world of design

What seems complex

Could be extremely simple.

In the way of interweave

In the intersection of the interconnects.

All is in the strength

In the sum of the intersections.

The Bridge of Safety

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Self Supporting Bridge. Leonardo Da Vinci was an artist, inventor and engineer in the 15th century.  His vision and calibre of mind allowed him to comprehend the twin worlds of science and art; he has
often been described as the archetype of the “Renaissance man”, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention . He was a master of innovation, ingenuity and engineering.
He invented the self supporting bridge sometime between 1485-1487 to be used as an emergency bridge for troops in times of war. This unique design is held together by its own weight without requiring any ties or connections, in fact when a downward force is applied to the structure the braced members are forced to interlock and tighten together through the structural concepts of shear and bending. Da Vinci called it “The Bridge of Safety”.

Strength of the soul

A glimpse of the intangible

Is often visible through signs

Like the strength of the soul

Appears in true forgiveness

In letting go of  fear of failure

In ability to start all over again

In letting go of negativity

In ability to center the self

In letting go of revenge mentality

In the ability to share kindness

In sensing the lightness of being

In awareness of the bigger picture.

The strength of the soul shines through.

This Now

This now is a dance
Whirling in between
The then and the forthcoming
The sun moon and stars
Too make their presence felt
Swirling in their cosmic paths
This you is swaying to life
Listen keen as the sands sing
Hear the whistling winds
They like you have a reason to be
In this now being where they are
Just like you right here in this now.

Your choices, your way

A painting by Savvy Raj

Every thing that interests you

Every word that you choose to hear & say

Every book you choose to read

Every thing you choose to do

Every place you choose to be

Is an open book of yourself

Your choices come from you

You have it all within

In your choices is a dimension

Of your own truths.

Embedded with in you

Awaiting emergence.

You manifest your own way.

What is something you love about nature?

The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling  views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?

On leadership.

Poignant truths  to remember for all leaders

You are human and not a machine and so is your team.

You are here to lead, not here to be liked by all. 

You will also make mistakes,  and that is how you learn

You will adapt as you cannot control everything, some things are unavoidable and  sooner you  acknowledge  it the better.

You will be challenged by a few in inexplicable ways , but these experiences will empower you.

Your teams will outgrow you in time, even if you have invested your all in them .

You will learn how to sustain in the letting go , that is the way of evolving with change.

And most of all the higher you climb the lonelier you will feel.

Be prepared to manage  it.
