Find yourself
In the daily grinds of life
Take a conscious moment.
Move beyond the apparent.
Witness the world
Observe nature
The sun moon & the stars
Sense the fragrance of Flowers
Dancing in the wind
See the moving clouds
Shaping patterns & disappearing
Watch it all sense it all
And then delving deeper
Sense the intangibles
Understand the unspoken words
Beyond whats visible
Seek the wisdom untold.
You will find yourself.

On Poets & poetry
A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
Lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives Embedded in words in a flow…
In Poets, empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion, It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic as to be a poem the verses need to be well thought as much as well felt, as words manage to touch another soul in inexplicable ways.
Every poet balances the flow uniquely…
What are your thoughts on the above?
And how can empathy connect with poetry?

Beauty in the ordinary
Where time ticks onwards too fast
In a rushing world
With no time to stand and stare
The beauty is in the ordinary…
In simple sharing,
Of a space,
Of a meal ,
Of being with one another
Valuing time spent joyfully
With family & friends
That makes the day magical.

Learnings
Hear to be heard
Hear to be heard
Value to be valued
Acknowledge.
It makes a world of difference in a ‘ever busy world’ that’s always checking time.
Giving time and energy to understand another with empathy will help shift perspectives for the better.

Grateful
Hiroyuki Sanada once said, “There are those who want a swimming pool in the house, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a deep sense of loss, while others who hold them close often complain about them. Those who do not have a partner yearn for him, but those who have, sometimes do not value him. The hungry would give anything for a plate of food, while the well-fed complains about the taste. The one who doesn’t have a car dreams, while the one who has one is always looking for a better one. The key is to be grateful, look carefully at what we have and understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what you already have and don’t appreciate.”
Making sense of it all
Awareness of Oneness
Universal Oneness is an awareness
In reflections of the truth of the being
Interweaved and interconnected in every life .
Strength shines through the vulnerabilities.
As a power in the very fragility
Touched by divine grace
Enmeshed in the senses
Comes a consciousness of the flow
In and around us
Beyond the illusion of separation
Is the dance of connection.

Divinity of Oneness
Strength in the Interconnects
All is one
One is all
Such is truth of interconnects
And in the sublime consciousness
All is in the divinity of oneness.

Thank your worries
As life can be truly challenging
We all have worried about it
Yet worries don’t change things
Acting on the issues does.
So instead of worrying today
Whenever you begin to worry
Can you thank your worry
For trying to be helpful ?
And remember to make it a habit.
If you realise you are worrying
Work on worry everytime
Thank it again & again.
It is simple to do yet impactful.
Sometimes as perspectives shift
Solutions, find space to emerge.
Thoughtworthy
Here’s a thoughtworthy share
Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.
After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said “You’re Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!”
“How in the world did you know that?” asked Vishal.
“I packed your parachute,” the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.
Vishal couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker”
So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.
We need many kinds of parachutes– we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.
We call on all these supports before reaching safety.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.
We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.
As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
Happy New Year

Art is life
Quality of the Spirit
What to speak of charisma
That some have as an aura…
A way of being , a radiance
More than just their attitude
Or the way the carry themselves
A quality of the spirit of the soul
That magnetic quality beyond the physicality
That emanates joy and well being in Abundance
Without a single word…
Would you know someone like that?
Who comes to your mind?

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.
