Where there are no rules that bound
Where the music leads and you follow
Where there is no end and no beginning
Where the river of time
Meets you as you want to
Where heart fields are open
To receive the infinite truths
You know..
All is in the flow as you sense you are the flow.

Fame is the shadow of passion standing in light
Kahlil Gibran
When a good deed
A noble act
Invokes fame
Fame stays on…
Entrenched in light of goodwill.
Embedded in that light
Passion perseveres.
Such a fame is worth experiencing…
And yet there is always a price to fame
While fame brings glory
It also brings expectations along
To live up to … for a lifetime.
There is loss of privacy
As you sway into the limelight
Being in the public eye can be daunting
There can be a loss of personal freedom.
Even though it creates opportunities
For it presents platforms
As it changes equations.
As it builds reputation.
Thoughts go on the desire for fame.
Even tbough there is a price to fame
Or would one choose the world of obscurity?
What are your thoughts on fame?
Do share.

A throwback…
I have fond memories of black and white photographs taken by my dad in his old box camera. The three pictures that I can quickly recollect are a representation of my world back in the era of black and white. Be it watching the swaying coconut trees and the shimmering water on moonlit nights, or the artistry of those antique time pieces collected by my grandfather and of course those lively evenings in my childhood years, where the old gramophone would play so invitingly that we would all be waltzing and jiving away to evergreen hits. Yes nostalgia filled me in those verses, but with happy memories.
Black and white photography
An art form for a connoisseur
Aesthetics of understanding
Of the clarity of line
That plays hide and seek
So much resemblance
To the wisdom of time.
In seeking is the blending
Of reflections dissolving
Ever so hard to pin down
Faded visions blurred memories
Reminding of colour through our senses
Perspectives differ in the past recalled
Comparisons translucent in the semi presence.
An important feature
Are the shades of grey
Areas masked and marked,
Blurring to focus
Uncaliberated and undeliberated
Between the lines
Adding enigma
Surreal feelings
A take back in time
Of notions in nostalgia.

In a conflict ridden world
All we can do, is to learn
What not to do…
For we are not the only ones here
There was life before us & after us
There is life in and around us
And we need to value life
That will manifest after us
And acknowledge what is
And do whatever we can
To save the only world we have.

Author Douglas Adams describes the three stalwarts of music… “Beethoven tells you what it is like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it’s like to be human. Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe.”
Interesting quote with so much said in just a line on the three gifted geniuses and their world of music.
Although considered to be a revolutionary its always beautiful to enjoy the music of Beethoven and his magical Moonlight Sonata and Symphony no 5.
The melodious music of Mozart is remarkable for his amazing pace and harmony and balance of light and dark tones of life with a humanistic touch in musical themes.
The spiritually profound music of Bach reflects his deep faith in God and his inate intellectuality. Known to have deeply influenced Mozart, Bach was a prolific musician having composed more than thousands of musical pieces in his lifetime.

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau
I love and resonate with this valuable and yet simple truth.
It’s about consistently creating pathways and sustain into not only the muscle memory, but also in the myriad realms of dimensions in our thoughts.
A good thought needs help… it’s about taking responsibility for the way one thinks and not just on what one does …
Well worth creating inroads for positive thoughts.
What thoughts are dominating in this now?
Savvy
The world around us
Is interacting all the time
The way we choose
Becomes us.
And each of our choices
Through our intentions
Becomes deeds of our doing.
It’s all in us
In the thinking and intending
For the good of all
Beyond the self.

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?

Faith is freedom to be all you are. Faith is a connection with the divinity of life. A knowing that all is was and will be well.
Free your faith
Let it flow
Free in faith…
Shedding doubts
Seeding more faith
Freeing flow of life…

Have you faced self doubts and challenges in uncertainty
Have you been unsure of yourself to take a decision.
Here is an approach that actually changes the equation.
Instead of focusing on your doubts focus on your abilities.
Value yourself
Dare your self doubts
Persevere in patience
To build on your skills
Keep the faith in you
Focus on your strengths
Add insights in exploration
Dissolve your selfedoubts
Work on your positives
Own your competences.

Between the light and dark
Is a dance of hope
Hope that sings and brings trust
In the darkest days
And lightless nights.
Savvy
We are parts of the same whole
Pieces of the same puzzle
We are entwined and embedded
In each other’s existence
No one can do it all alone
In acknowledgement of this truth
In thanking the learnings
In respecting the value of life
In gratitude for the support
From others, we open ourselves
To the empowering strength
In the interconnects.

Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope.
Do share your thoughts on it.
“Her eyes wander to find him
Amongst a sea of faces
Knowing he is there somewhere
Hope is here to stay “
The first love
She was a teenager in love
For the very first time
She felt the joy
To express with all her heart
The joy of being with another
Two hearts so full of love
In a world all their own.
He wrote her poems
And read each one out loud
It was an idyllic love
Too good to be true
And in time life happened
And they parted ways
But the feelings still the same
Etched in memories
And never forgotten
No matter the ravages of time.
Yet life never stops for any one.
Life brings in beautiful moments
That makes life worth living
People come people go
But memories, last at eternity…
The Mother
She is old and wrinkled
Yet oft her memories rush
To that fateful day
When a trip to the beach
With friends and family
Changed her life forever.
For as the sun set on that day
In that crowded beach
She lost her only son
And the meaning to live on.
And to this day, in every crowd
Her eyes look out
Searching for her little son
In a sea of faces
No matter the river of time …
Life has its own challenges
For every life in the living
But hope is unending
For hope is here to stay.
Savvy
Every move has a reaction
In the cause and effect world
Forms shifting shapes
Colours changing hues
Where even the blink of an eye
A touch of the breeze
Or even a silent intention
Can set off a symphony in response
For all is aligned in connection.
Twisted or helical structure
In a Self arranging universe
Reflecting retracting
Rotating revolving
Tuning itself in time
Blending in the balancing
Altered by sensitivity in subtlety
Interplay of Intelligence
Telling phenomenonal stories
Holding immense possibilities
In its infinite potential
Awaiting mindful application
In the journey of awakenings .
All is a dance of matter.
Savvy
.
Miracle of autumn
Colours changing season
Rich burnt orange rust
Fill leaves of green as they fall
As if announcing arrival of fall
Signaling animals and birds
To prepare ahead of the cold
Of winters frost on the anvil
To brace the changing weather.
A season of love & embrace
Of long walks with loved ones.
Of long nights and shorter days
That heads through to winter.
Make the best of the changes.
