Borders marked on maps
In time get etched onto our minds
But our heart knows not borders
Hope the heart leads
For then, the way appears
To bond without being bound
To fly free like a bird.
Unbound…

Sometimes comments to your posts can be a fodder for thoughts in synthesis…
I thank my good friend Fredrick from Katiemiafrederick.wordpress.com for the inspiring comment 🕊️🙏🕊️ on my yesterdays blog In flights of fancy /
A part of this poem began as a reply comment that turned into a post.
You can never give from an
empty cup.
So keep refreshing
knowledge and understanding
Make sure to breathe easy so
that you are not getting
engulfed in trying to find
solutions for another.
Exercise equanimity and trust
yourself to deliver.
Most importantly take care of
yourself.
Enjoy the work you do!
And give your very best.
It will certainly bring results.
How to keep refilling your cup…to stay updated.
Many ways.
. Be open to possibilities and perspectives
. Stay humble and sense your foot on the ground… Remember anyone can be a teacher.
. Choose to balance work and play. Respect your time and use it wisely.
. Stay curious. Keep your inner child alive
. Pause to rest and recover when you feel overwhelmed.
. Choose health and happiness.
Keep your self nourished.Self care isn’t selfish.
Do share what ways you keep updating yourself.

An experimental poem
Yesterday evening, I asked my mother sitting besides me and sipping her tea, to share a few random words that came to her mind.
These are what she shared in the same order as she shared.
Time, Eternal, Free, Freedom, Connection, Heart, Destiny, Love, Emerging, Twinkle, Abundance, Garnering, Gather, Depth, Stardust, Voyage Spirit
Here is what I imagined in the dance of these words…
When Love is Destiny
Emerging in eternal time
Destiny twinkles on stardust
Garnering connections of hearts
Voyaging free in the spirit of freedom.
Gathering abundance in the
depth of love.

My friend Destiny highlighted a comment of mine on her comment on my yesterdays post Sensing
It felt as if we exchanged a moment of poignant connection that jumped time. For in that one moment words touched heartsfields. where feelings are relatable. In empathy or synchrony…
It is certainly not something new, for it is something we all undergo as writers and readers. A connection, through mere words but that which feels you know… the spirit, and soul of the hand that pens the verses or the heart that emotes in the reading.
And these are moments that make
Words come alive & speak
From a place of knowing
Far beyond mere words
Beyond the writer or reader.
As if it’s meant to be
As if it’s meant to connect.
These are moments…
Sparking the dance of divinity
Of the inexplicable serendipity
In Sensing Oneness in humanity.

You come into this world bearing gifts
To live the life you have.
Your soul your spirit, your energy
And You have the power of thoughts
These gifts are yours
Use them well in life
You are blessed with uniqueness
You are ordained to manifest all you deeply intend.
Your soul is fired by your spirit
Your passion is fired by your purpose.
Simply trust your heart
It knows the way!

Souls know the truth of their being
Embedded in the journey of life
Soul connection has the power
To heal and life regenerates
A body and spirit is given
So the soul can move…
Movements that flow
Towards its purpose of being.

Yesterday’s mountains have become paths today
Love of life will show the way
As you keep building bridges not walls I say.

Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

Healing through breathing…
Here is one of the many techniques that can be practiced in awareness.
Box breathing
A Breathing technique to destress an agitated and tense mind to calm state and improve the mood.
A good practice for all and especially for those with depression, anxiety disorder and PTSD managing pains and insomnia.
The technique is simple and very effective.
1. Sit upright & Start with exhaling air out of your mouth slowly counting 1to 4.
2. Hold for four counts
3. Inhale deeply filling air section by section till it reaches the lungs & abdomen for four counts through your nose.
4.Again hold for four counts
5. Exhale for four counts from the abdomen and lungs slowly.
As a beginner choose a quiet place to begin this mindful practice. You can start by repeating for four times in one setting. Initially it is advisable to gradually take it up. In case you feel a little dizzy go back to your regular breathing and build it again.
The slow breathing and holding is the most important aspect which activates the para sympathetic system and thus helps reduce stress.
You can practice box breathing couple of sets in a day as needed to calm down.
Breathe away the stress
And breathe in ease.

As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.
In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of prompting for application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.
Dancing & Prompting has a lot in common
A dance with a partner is an action and response
More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world every day is a dance with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction.
The better the input the better the output.
Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters
Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation
Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity.
To dance is to set and hold the frame
In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.
In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance…
And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant output.
In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow… And you are free to improvise your self as you go along
Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.
When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow.
In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps connected to a certain goal will give desired results.
Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach, in easily understable and suitable way not only will you reach your destination You will enjoy the journey!

Sharing light & love…
Speaking of intentions, I intended to find some time to try something new today. I created this digital art using an app. It’s truly amazing! So many ways to express your creativity!
What do you think of it?
Adapting to the changing world requires keeping up with the times, doing the things you love and loving what you do… And most of all living life lovingly!
Every beat of the
heart matters
Every heartfelt
intention makes a
difference.
Every moment of time
is precious.
Every blissful heart
knows!

What is…
Inside of your mind
Is there peace?
Inside of your heart
Is there love?
Does it feel like a ocean wave
Is flowing through you…
Or a flame of hope rising like a phoenix
Can you hear the distant drums
And dream of hope in the yonder
Or the bells of divine chime within?
Where and how are you
Inside?

Murmuration
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/A72MZUuTfLFHDNKh/?mibextid=TrneLp
Watch this magical murmuration
In divine interconnection
Countless birds in a dance of symphony
Creating patterns in rhythmic harmony.
An enthralling aerial display.
That moves you with its magical sway
Makes you wish and wonder why
These flock of feathers fly this way!
In the swing and the sway
And the rise and fall
The flight of these birds
Interweave a cohesive harmony.
A rare sight both elusive and enigmatic
Orchestrated with brilliance
Perhaps simply waltzing with abandon
Perhaps to ward off the predator
With such seemingly chaotic order
Every dancing heart will delight
In acknowledging with awe
This dance of sychrony!

Letting go is never easy
For we are often not ready
Letting go is a courage as much as a necessity
Letting go that which you can’t change
Letting go of yourself beyond the fear
Letting go of insecurity that is holding you back
Letting go of things that no longer serve you
Letting go to create space for something new
Letting go of unnecessary doubts that delay the possibilities
Letting go creates a difference with a lightness of being…
Learn to let your self go
And watch life transform in and around you…
All it takes is letting go
Think of letting go of the spurious
Like a breath taken
How long will you hold it?
Inhale and exhale are part of life
As you inhale, live life
In knowing the exhale
Is but a circle of life.
