Heartbeats

Storms rage and ravage

They lay waste the efforts

And destruct many a lives.

Yet they rise, only to fall

When the storm subsides

The world picks up the pieces

Of the then and now…

To build again in hope

That tommorow is another new day.

But storms that pass, often leave imprints;

Of traumas in those testing times

Of  fear in the back of the mind. 

They appear in dreams

Almost as if it is reality.

They create confusion in the sanest of times

But when the heart knows  

That fear is just the mind 

Playing its tricks again.

It becomes brave

And continues to beat stronger

And life dances to its beats…

For it has survived the storm.

Rest all is history 💙

Storms have a way of playing with our life even when they  have long subsided.
The brewing storm in our  thoughts and dreams  may seem fearful  yet they also bring perspective to empower ourselves.

I write these verses inspired by  the reading the title and verses of this poem, this morning. Thank you 🙏   poeticmobility.

And the image here is from  my  Ai artwork collections, for I  somehow feel it belongs here as well.

I leave a question  here for you to reflect upon…

Every life has survived its own share of storms

Leaving much wisdom in the learnings  behind.

What lesson has your heart learned after the storm?

Where does this moment take you?

If you could turn the key to a door  that opens up to a place  somewhere right now…

Where does your imagination  take you?

Near mountains

Near water sources

Green spaces

Or spiritual spaces

Or somewhere where your  heart is calling out?

What is your favourite kind of place?

Or is your desire to stay 

Wherever you are,

Stronger than anything else?

Sometimes in the middle of movements there is a desire for stillness

In the middle of hectic days…

For the quietness of calm.

And sometimes amidst silence

There is much going on…

The mind is steering the wheel

Both movement  and stillness

Are part of the journey.

And the desire to drive on

Explore discover the world

And what it has to offer

Is something that happens

To evolve every life.

Space for growth

Let there spaces in between

Room for improvement

For growth needs it

Personal or professional

Breathe in the pause

To ponder a while

To sense the potential

To emerge from ideas 

Creating possibilities.

I value the necessity of space

Between thoughts, between words,

Else

It starts feeling a little to crowded.

Creating the fog of density

Creating space creates clarity.

How much do you value your need for space?

Take time

Take time to see beyond

To care and be considerate,

To be kind and compassionate,

To wonder and stay curious.

​Take time to learn and explore,

To read and discover another,

To revere the precious now,

To stay grateful for every moment.

For life moves forward

As clocks tick relentlessly,

With no respite…

​So choose to reclaim time.

Take time for, and with, the self.

To live lovingly than just exist.

Soul of my soul

Reaching out to the radiance

That lights my being

Feeling the magnificent way

The glow paves my path.

Seeing the grace unfold

In all its glorious resplendence

Aligning with its presence

In the breath I take.

Witnessing life transform

As darkness gives in to light

Sensing the space of lightness

As energy balances its flow.

Soul of my soul

Your omnipresence I revere

As you work your magic

Through me…

Heart speaks…

Creative connects

As a dance instructor I remember a time more than a decade ago, I built a community of dance lovers who loved the connecting over a few moves every weekend. The tribe gew organically… as for all these lovers of dance, including me, the art of movements and sharing the  creative passion… became a way of life.

I often sensed how much the times spent dancing together was a transformative  experience.  I also witnessed how many of them  found friendships and supported each other through  thick and thin.

Though I moved on to another city and began exploring and discovering many more interests in time, the times we all manage to connect again, even now always brings a joyful smile from the heart ❤️

Who lifts you up?

Over the years

Living life teaches much.

Every person in your life

has an unique role to play.

Sometimes they are necessary for you

at times, you are necessary for them.

Life happens along the way,

leaving lessons fine.

Your emotional equation matters more than you think.

Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.

Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.

Choose your circle, its your right.

Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…

You have one life.

Choose well…

Bridge on the river of time 

On Awareness

Between what was understood and what we understand, and what we are yet to understand, is the bridge of awareness in time.


Our shifting perspectives are  simply signs of  changes as we continue to flow in the river of time.

Way Of Peace

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts

The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.

And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.

We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.

Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.

Make the way of peace

A way of life.

In the middle

Right here

In the middle

Lives transformation.

Change starts

In the middle of it all

In the feeling

In the awareness

That something

Is happening.

So, true transformation too is not a one off act  in the edge of things or only where you are pushed to the extremes. True change for the better lives in the middle of consistent  moments of effort coupled with awareness.

It could start right now in the middle of it all.

Are you here in this now?

One Good Word

One Good Word…


As readers and writers, we experience a dual bliss: the joy of discovering writing that deeply resonates, and the quiet fulfillment of reflecting on our own words and the connections they create.


It is a beautiful thing to share our creative gifts with the world. Yet, what is most profound is the heart of the person…reader or writer,  alike who takes the moment to offer a word of kindness or appreciation. A single good word has the power to change someone’s day for the better.


Expression is a gentle pathway to healing. Whether it is a pen dancing across paper, a brush gliding with color, or feet tracing patterns upon the earth, the joy of movement is our shared thread.


Reaching out from within ourselves to share is not always easy, even if deeply fulfilling. It demands our energy, our time, and our vulnerable spirit. Yet to withhold our voices or suppress these expressions would be a tragic loss indeed.
It is truly inspiring to read, to write, and to honor the transformative power of words in all their creative manifestations.

What  is one “good word” or simple phrase someone once shared with you that stayed in your heart when you needed it most?

Who am I ?

This life I am in,

Is beyond emotions & intellect.

Way beyond feelings & senses.

Beyond the pain & peace of the moment. 

Beyond the pressures of life & living.

Hence I am not my peace.

And I am not my pain.

I am not the height of happiness.

I am not the depth of sorrows.

I am simply me as I am…

In the infinite resonance

In the dance of conscious awareness

A living spark of the cosmos.

Who are you?

Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.


Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.

Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond  speech, I am the breath that experiences life.


Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be.  🙏

Join in with me for a  moment of  alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole.  🙏

Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’

Light is meant to shine

The sky lights up

This morning

In ethereal light…

And in moments

It feels like twilight,

Where light seems engulfed

But it is already dawn.

Perhaps the sun is hidden

For a fleeting while,

Waiting for clouds to pass

Only to shine again.

In this moment

Of in-betweens,

Before light shines

Its brilliance again,

Let me take a moment

To feel the senses

Telling me to ease in to this now.

Breathe the cool wind

And pause to witness

The unfolding play

Of light of day.

The sun is patient

And humble,

Awaiting its turn…

Let me stay patient

And hopeful

In this play of light.

Light is meant to shine.

Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…

Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.

In this now…

In this now I inhale peace
In this now I exhale love
In this now I sense calm
In this now I share a smile.

In this now what I can do
Matters than, then & later
For it sets the course ahead
Aligning past with present.

In this now lives potential
In this now, is the power of choice
In every now that is…
Choose well.
