Balmy weather
It’s balmy weather
It’s early morning
The sun is moving
In and out of the trees
Traveling with me
As I am walking…
The chirping birds
Awakening the world
With hope fulness
The wind is resting
Perhaps still to awaken
The clouds are clearing
Heralding the light
In the mighty tree
A few yards from me
I see a beautiful vision… Cont’d
What is it that I see?
Would you like to continue from here…?

Dreams & Intentions
Story : A social media forward.
Three trees in a forest were talking about their dreams.
First tree said, I want to become a beautiful chest & lots of precious treasures should be stored in me.
Second tree said, i want to become a magnificent ship to carry great kings & queens safely across the ocean, even in storms.
Third one told
I want to become the tallest tree in this forest. My height should reach the sky that I should think I am near God.
After some time people came to the forest to cut the trees.
They came near the first tree and said this seems like a strong tree. We will sell this to a carpenter who will make boxes. The tree became happy that its wish is getting fulfilled.
Second tree they decided that it would be suitable to build a ship. The tree was happy that it would finally become a ship.
They saw the third tree and didn’t think of any great use . So it was made to logs n stored.
The carpenter made a box out of the first tree to store hay in a shed.
Second one was made into a small fishing boat.
The third tree was lying as log n stored.
Thus all their dreams were shattered.
Time went by. The trees had forgotten their dreams.
One day a man n woman came to the shed. The lady delivered a baby.They put the baby on the hay in the box made of the first tree.. Immediately the tree realised that it is carrying the greatest treasure on earth.
Few years wentby. Some people were voyaging on the small boat made from the second tree. A big storm started n the tree was worried that it could not save the people it was carrying. At that time one man in the boat said to the sea, be calm. The sea became calm. The tree realised that it is carrying the king of all kings.
After some days a man was carrying the logs from the third tree & walked the street. The people on the way were ridiculing him . They reached a small hill top & the man was nailed on the log & made it stand . After three days the tree realised it was very near God as the man was Jesus Christ.
The dreams of the trees were fulfilled, but not in the way they wanted .
Similarly all our dreams will be fulfilled. May be not in the way or time we planned. But it will happen.
Dream big. Dream good.
Hope is what takes life forward.
Translated from a tamil forward by Anjana
Every bit matters
According to an old Native American legend, one day there was a big fire in the forest. All the animals fled in terror in all directions, because it was a very violent fire. Suddenly, the jaguar saw a hummingbird pass over his head, but in the opposite direction. The hummingbird flew towards the fire!
Whatever happened, he wouldn’t stop. Moments later, the jaguar saw him pass again, this time in the same direction as the jaguar was walking. He could observe this coming and going, until he decided to ask the bird about it, because it seemed very bizarre behavior.
“What are you doing, hummingbird?” he asked.
“I am going to the lake,” he answered, “I drink water with my beak and throw it on the fire to extinguish it.” The jaguar laughed. ‘Are you crazy? Do you really think that you can put out that big fire on your own with your very small beak?’
‘No,’ said the hummingbird, ‘I know I can’t. But the forest is my home. It feeds me, it shelters me and my family. I am very grateful for that. And I help the forest grow by pollinating its flowers. I am part of her and the forest is part of me. I know I can’t put out the fire, but I must do my part.’
At that moment, the forest spirits, who listened to the hummingbird, were moved by the bird and its devotion to the forest, miraculously they sent a torrential downpour, which put an end to the great fire.
The Native American grandmothers would occasionally tell this story to their grandchildren, then conclude with, “Do you want to attract miracles into your life? Do your part.”
“You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems—but to attend to your particular personal corner of the universe. As each person does that, the world saves itself.’”
If someone asks your help remember this story.
A lovely read I simply had to share. I am doing my bit…
Every bit matters!
Wisdom of the flow
In difficult moments
Think of life
As ocean waves
Waltzing with the tides
Highs and lows
Are both part of the flow
Think of yourself
Realize you are
Not just in the flow
You are the flow!.

Fascination
I was drawn to watch this beautiful share this morning.
It is a capture of an every day phenomenon of Water drops merging into a water body.
So much beauty in the ordinary
The profound in the simple.
If we only took time
To notice and discover
We will know
How little we see
Of this dance of nature.
Savvy
And watching it in slow motion video….
Pure Fascination.
Be Aware
Every day is new.
A day to celebrate.
Unlike many,
We are alive to see the sun, hale n healthy.
What more reason is needed to celebrate.
Let the bitterness of the past
Dissolve in the darkness of the night.
Like a new dawn,
new beginnings,
new hopes, new effort to make it
a day with positivities and possibilities.
Step forward,
With grit and gratitude.
Each moment is special .
Miracles can happen in any moment.
Be aware when it happens.
Anjana
Count your blessings!
Trust matters
In continuation to my earlier post on trust I share a few verses that flowed along…
Trust is the lifeline
Between people
That keeps hope alive
In faith and belief
That things will come through
In trust life resurrects
And success sustains
In feeling fulfilled.
A lack of trust
Erodes relationships
Personal or professional
For when trust is broken
Efforts become meaningless
For sense of purpose is lost
Without trust
Every thing crumbles…
Until trust is gained
Nothing matters.

On Adaptability
Any technological l advancement calls for updating of skills and most of all adaptability.
Adaptability of any new technology calls for embracing change and developments in both actions & attitude…
For adaptability calls for new
learnings with the curiousity of an optimist.
A willingness to uncover the new.
to acknowledge with enthusiasm
In exploration and discovery
Of the potential possibilities.
And the acceptance of errors & misses inspite of the best efforts
& most of all a relentless
development of resilience
to bounce back on the path.
Do share your thoughts and insights on Adaptability.

Wisdom of the Stars
Every night sky
Infinite stars twinkle
There is wisdom in their light
To shine from wherever you are
Each star emits their own starlight
Together they fill up the night sky
With the wonders of a starry night.

Dream on
Dare to imagine
Your dreams
As the speak to you
Paint on the blank canvas
From the colours on your pallete
Surrender to the arising flow
Taking your cue as the hand moves
On the canvas, homing you in…
Dream on and dare to manifest.
Savvy
Nature
Nature is magnificence
Teaching great lessons in humility.
Nature is amazing grace
As she holds within
The truths of the universe
The secret of the stars
As well as the sounds of silence
She is a dance in the stillness
Nature is flow and flow is nature Nature is life. And life flows…

Power of Self Belief
I gave myself permission to feel and experience all of my emotions. In order to do that, I had to stop being afraid to feel. In order to do that, I taught myself to believe that no matter what I felt or what happened when I felt it, I would be okay.
Iyanla Vanzant
I love this powerful quote. It speaks to me of the strength within. Of valuing every emotion and it’s expression for what it is.
And most of all the strength of self belief in self assurance that all is well no matter what happens. It helps to be in touch with your feelings and make it your friend.
Whatever you feel is a way of channelizing your emotions. It heals you through expressions. It helps to acknowledge your emotions.
As you understand your emotions and feelings you become more self aware in life’s situations. It gives you the necessary strength and intelligence to tide through the rough times.
When your self-belief is strong, and faith is deep, nothing can rock your boat.

Writer & Words
The paper is where it is
On it the pen moves
Driven by the hand
The fingers of writer
Holding the pen
Waltzing on paper
Shaping thoughts
In a flow all its own.
And the soul & spirit
Of the writer imprints
For eternity…
