You are not defined
By riches or possessions.
You are defined
By the attitude you carry.
Anchored in faith
No matter the storm.
You are defined
By the energy you emanate…
In the choices you make,
In the decisions you take.
Way beyond circumstances.
It is a quality of the spirit.
Greater the refinement,
Greater the grace.

A question in reflection…
When the world outside gets chaotic, what is that within you that keeps you anchored?
In every now
There is so much to note
Notice the bigger picture
The grand plan of nature.
Notice the sky
Holding the sun & the clouds,
The moon & the stars.
Notice the transitions
The fleeting nature
The pain & pleasures of life
Appear and disappear.
Notice the expansive infinite
Widening in your thoughts
Notice your breath dance,
Finding its rhythms.
Notice how the movements
And the stillness therein,
Are all part of the dance.

Writing & commenting
after a hiatus…
am seeing a sea change
as a reader of WordPress.
Perfect poems
Perfect lines,
perfect emotions
perfect comments…
almost to distraction.
All thanks to Ai.
Yet, I miss the human touch.
that errs and learns.
The typos, the misses
the spirit & the soul.
Dont you?
I was almost about to reply to a perfect comment that I sensed the play of Ai in it… it was a tad bit disappointing at a certain level.
While I understand it’s part of the change,and we are all responsible, the connection of the heartfelt comment is missing in all this perfection.
In striving for perfection… we are losing the warmth of the human connection.
Whose lose is it and how is going to matter in time?
It is more about conscious choice and sharing the responsibility in the ways we use Ai.
What do you think?

Lovely lines that resonate with me deeply…
We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.
Haile Selassie
A few contemplations on the same lines…
Lets envision
Beyond borders
Marked on maps
Of human existence
To know we are far more
Than our notions & judgement
We are lifes assertions
In hope & faith
Of the expansive infinite
Thats inclusive of one & all
That every life on earth
Has a purpose & reason to be
Lets acknowledge
This truth of being humane
Than just human.
And beyond all that we must
Do and say in life & living
Let’s just be …

On poetry & musings…
Isn’t it amazing…
Letters birthing into words
Seeded in the sea of thoughts Connected in a rhythmic continumn
Turning out as verses
All imprints of consciousness
Flowing through in time
Finding its own synchrony.
Savvy
Something for time to remember…
To start the day with the beautiful light of nature where ever I am, I know, I carry it in my heart , as it glows from my heart. Its my simple secret in the acknowledgement, that I want the older me to remember.
Never forget the light you are.

A blessed mindset
Think it, feel it, emote it
Sense it, move with it
Soon you make others feel it.
People sense confidence
In your voice and demeanor
They know there is purpose
And clarity in your ways.
Creating energy that elevates
As you embody you emanate
Without much hesitation
You attract abundance
In the blessed mindset
And aligned in gratitude.
You sense and create oneness.

Trust is what holds us together
Faith leads our way
Belief begets action
Hope brings limitless optimism
Care creates consideration
Truth brings credence.
Love bonds boundlessly
Each creates the values of being.

Compassion towards the self is a critically necessary part of self acceptance and acknowledgement through self-expression, channeling and releasing emotions constructively.
A note in gratitude to the self.
Every me that lived and loved
Every me that lost and gained
Every me that helped & healed
Every me that fumbled & failed
Every me that connected & cared
Every me that was tried & tested
Every me that trusted & trained
Every me that learned & learns
Every me in every movement
Every me of my past to present
I love with all my heart
In compassion & kindness.
I am grateful to all of me
Of the past present & future
being all that was,is, and will be.

As I explore
I discover
As I perceive
I sense
As I pray
I ease
As I seek
I find
As I write
I express
As I sing
I channel
As I dance
I heal
As I read
I learn
I am eternally grateful
For all these learnings
That happen, all in good time.

Its not pride. It’s dignity,
That you need with you.
Much is the difference between .
In no uncertain moment
Lose your sense of dignity.
For dignity is divine
For it embodies your spirit & soul
Pride is just a human emotion.
If ever you face a situation
Where anothers words & deeds
Leave you broken
Remember its just your pride & ego
That feels deflated in the moments.
It’s just a phase of life it will pass.
Your dignity stays with you
In the way you handle
With no loss of grace
Stay dignified, stay graceful.

Is the form you see
Exactly the form I see
Perhaps they differ
In the way we choose to interpret.
Is form the mark of reality
Does being formless makes it unreal
Is form the contention
To know the real and unreal.
Forms are shaped by intentions
In dedication & deliberation.
For forms become fleeting memories
Perishing in the sands of time.
While the formless evolves in the heart
Holding up to unfathomable faith
They may live on in the silent knowing
Of unspoken trust in the being.
Discernment of the forms
In the inner recesses of the heart and the mind
Waltzes the consciousness of the being
In States of knowing ,of the truth of light
A light of wisdom
That takes many forms
Million times over
To show the path of truth.
The path is lit
As the steps are taken
The forms manifest in the interactions
Of vibrations in resonance.
Between these Illuminating illusions
Of the form and formless
What is real and unreal
All are just reflections in the dimensions.
In the beam of even one moment of truth
Is the convergence of envisioning
Forms and formless become one
Conveying the message safely home.

Our own struggles seem the most difficult. Our journey of life may seem unique to us.And yet if we bring to awareness that this imagined spectrum of universe is a dot in the multitude of multiverses yet unknown, we realise our so called egoes are but a tool for motivating our life to keep us exploring the possibilities in our lifetime.
But instead of seeing the bigger picture we see ourselves as mammoth beings & as if only our life and our journey is important.
How far away from the truth we are?
If we only keep seeing our circle of life is but a spec in the cosmic ocean we will realize our truths as humans and learn to be in touch with our humanity.

Do good
And when you do
Think not of acknowledgement
Nor recognition
Do good
From the goodness of your heart
And you will find joy in it.
Make it a practice everyday
To do at least one good deed .
And soon it will become a habit
That happens naturally
And just know
In time…
You will do good anyway

Is there a free space to be heard
Where you can speak
Without fear and judgement.
Without doubt and hesitation
Is there a space that’s free
To move as you want to
Unrestricted and uncorrected
By unwanted influences & interferences
Such spaces are the need of the hour.
With the world getting more and more materialistic and withdrawn and people truly becoming less communicative although connected by technology in every second , the human need to be heard becomes more and more necessary for somewhere it is drowning in the hustle and bustle of an ever busy world.
And as for creative freedom well each every moment offers infinite acreative flow that is awaiting your expression. Choice rests with you what you do with it .
Would you agree ?
