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.

Any creative enterprise
That makes you move
One step closer to your being
Tapping into infinte possibilities
Of your innate potential
Is a dance of your uniqueness
Remember this as you dare
To create something
From known to the unknown
And making something new.

How different is the view
From every angle in sight?
What makes it so stark in contrast
And so varied in interpretation?
How the colours of life change?
How easy it is to believe,
What you see as the truth,
That nothing else could be reality?
What you see from the mountain
Is different from the plain.
The eyes are the same.
But the perception is different.

I came across these lines this morning…
We either make ourselves miserable ,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same
— Carlos Castaneda —
Questions for the self
What are your thoughts like?
What is the work you do making you feel?
What is the energy you sense ?
Are you feeling strengthened by it?
Your answers will reveal much to you.

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?

Often we are so full of ourselves.
So focussed on our thoughts
On our ways and deeds
That we forget to pay attention.
There is a world beyond us.
That’s full of promise
Of possibilities in it’d potential
To help and heal us
Only if we truly take our time
To listen well and be there .
Listen to understand and care
Listen to learn and know
Listen to explore the unsaid
Listen keen and deep.
The answers to many of life’s challenges is in listening
Listen well, it heals one another.

When every breath is a consciousness
In awareness
Of the divine energy of life.
Of its presence in every inhale and exhale.
Between two breaths and the spaces within.
But this awareness needs cultivation…
Of mindful breathing as a practice for a life time.
In it is the spirit of life
And our own spirituality… influenced and constituted, strengthened in each mindful breath
Hopefully…
A work in progress✨️ 🙏✨️

A scent that calls in a deeper breath…while savoring the sensation…
‘Petrichor’ is one of the fragrances that is earthy yet divine to me . There is something grounding and yet ethereal in its ephemeral smell. Taking me to places and spaces I cannot fathom, yet moves me.Evoking emotions in the memories and invoking pleasant feelings of playing in the fields following the first rain. I am also reminded of green woody forests,with tall trees, where the air is pristine and pure.
I sense the freshness of first rain on earth in its smell enveloping me. Just a whiff and it transports me to many realms of my own being, as it invigourates me.
I can never stop appreciating it… and can never have enough of it.
Do you like the fresh fragrance of first rain on dry earth?
What emotions are evoked in you?
Do share your thoughts…

Our conditioning has a role to play in the way we see people and things around us. To trust is to dare into the unknown.
Just read this interesting article …
19 professionals walk through unknown villages for 3 days — without a single rupee | Pune News – The Indian Express
Amazing to read about these Braveheart who dared to experience first hand self-belief beyond fear…and who came back enriched with experiences.
Touching to read about the kindhearted people who came their way like saviours.
Pretty sure they may all have had some life altering experiences in one way or another.
Against all odds
Breaking the rut of routine
In forging new pathways
Beyond fear for survival
All preconceived notions fall
In the dare into the unknown.

As light dawns
It dispels darkness
Spreads hope & cheer
Bringing joy & happiness
To all touched by this light.
As the waves of light
Transmit itself in the world
Hearts heal and life regenerate
For light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light of you.

You awaken
When you are ready to release
That which holds you back.
In acknowledging
Is the allowing
Of new possibilities
And sense the light within.
Every once in a while
It’s good to unshackle
Simply ask your self
What am I holding back?

Pride makes us artificial
Humility makes us real
Thomas Merton
So a long long time ago when I started sharing my writing skills, I received a beautiful message from a reader, who also introduced Thomas Merton, the poet & monk to me. I was intrigued by his words. And went on to read more. For back then I didn’t know who Thomas Merton was and had never heard or come across his works.
This morning I came across the above quote, another gem of a quote from the mystical light of this soul…
There are some souls whose works strike a deep chord without ever meeting them… you sense a connection in their words..
I am grateful in all humility to have come across the profoundness of these kindred spirits. 🙏
Sit down with your feelings
Like a good friend
Listen to it to understand
What it conveys to you
It works out for you.
Your emotions are not your enemy
They are your vent
They are your support systems
For the body to feel at ease
Be a good friend to you
And your emotions will thank you
As you thank them.

Nature speaks in the most creative yet simplest of ways…
The wisdom for a lifetime
Bloom from wherever you are.
