Spirit Ablaze…

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.

Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.

I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.

Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

Power of a Seed

The seed looked up

At the mighty tree in awe

Wondering how it will grow to thrive

And how it will survive in time.

The tree rustled its leaves

In the gentle breeze

Sharing the tender touch

Of the nurturing wind

As if to remind the little seed…

Every mighty tree around

Was once a tiny seed

Blowing in the very same wind

That grew through the seasons

Weathering life’s storms

Learning how to bend and not break

So that it could grow one day

To its fullest potential

Testimony to the power of a planted seed.

Every tree is rooted with a message

Never underestimate the power within

Keep the faith and trust yourself!

The body never lies

Movements matter
For the body never lies
Whether you move
with your thoughts,
words or body.
 
It conveys the truth of you
In more ways than you know
Movements are unique to us
For they are imprints of life

The body never lies they say
Our movements convey the truth of our soul.
As words flow…
Writing reveals much about the writer
In the words said and unsaid
In the way the writer begins
& ends
In the choice of words itself…

But all said and done all writing, all creative arts can be cathartic experiences. The healing happens in the expression, in the letting go…

I write at leisure to relax and enjoy writing. It heals me. Perhaps if I am pressured to write I may not be feeling this way.

What are your thoughts on writing?

How has your writing helped you?

Beneath the Orange Sun…

Inspiration for Intention

Beneath the orange sun
I see rays of possibilities
Clearly forming patterns
That speak to me to draw
Out the truth of my soul.

Beneath the nurturing tree
I witness the quiet calm
Feel the gentle breeze,
Am hearing the buzzing bee
And the rhythm of my beating heart…

Beneath the golden moon
I sense the vividity of my heart
Of love that bonds boundlessly
As gleams of hope shines forth
Evoking abundance in my soul.

Beneath the infinite sky
I am open to receive
All the good that is,
And cross paths with it today
I choose to live with intention.

Be to Become

Be all that you can

To become all that you want

Becoming what you want to be

Is a journey in time

Of highs and lows

To become is to envision

To intend consistently

The very same vision day in and out

To persevere time and time again

Without losing sight of your intent

To be passionate about what you are

To have patience in waiting

As you inch closer and closer

To become what you want to be.

And trust, what you are meant to be

Will always find a way!

Hope beyond despair

Yesterday night a quote caught my eye…

You will continue to suffer if you
have an emotional reaction to
everything that is said to you
True power is sitting back and
observing things with logic. True
power is restraint. If words
control you that means everyone
else can control you. Breathe
and allow things to pass

Warren Buffet

A quick question.

Just a quick question…

How many of you writers, have felt people equating your creative writing with your life?

As a writer I do know that creativity comes up in the most unexpected moments. It may have or not at all have anything to your own experiences. Much of the creative process can happen in attention to details as a keen observer, in witness mode , in associations of thoughts and feelings and in sensing emotions in empathy, concern or care, that may have or not have any personal connotations.

Writing is the freedom of expression in flights of imagination, its a beautiful art and that is free for interpretation once it has been published. For the writer has chosen to let it go…

How it came to be, is a mystery sometimes to the Author too😉

Irony of Advice

Stay calm
Don’t lose cool
Have no expectations
Let go
Move on

Easy to advise
Difficult to practice 
Telling truth as it is
Such is the irony of advice.

I feel therefore I am

If I were to keep feelings aside
I would perhaps become cold
And impersonal
Perhaps I may function perfectly
Like a robot.
Wonder if I would be well at all
For feelings are a great balancer.


To repress our feelings
And take decisions would make our decisions lopsided.

I am therefore I feel
I feel therefore I am.

Whether it’s personal or professional decisions, our feelings do make a difference and play a role  in our decisions.  We can perhaps bring to awareness how we are feeling in the Now and use  this mindfully to bring a sense of balance in our thoughts & actions. But to think or say, we can be completely devoid of it is not necessarily true for we are built in such a way where our emotions,  feelings and our thoughts in every moment is  deeply interconnected, in more ways than one.

Feelings of empathy compassion and acts of kindness are deeply entwined.

How you are being in the now has much to do with how you are feeling.

To do anything well you need all of you & your senses to come together. How we choose to act upon our feelings and in what manner will depend on us.

Awareness is the key.

Do share your thoughts…

A Spread of Cheer!

Sharing one of my earlier paintings today,
‘A Spread of Cheer! ‘

I personally love seeing it once again for its vibrant bouquet of colours.

Paintings have a way of depicting the emotions the painter carries…

Can imagine the joy and recreate the moment of bliss and wonder while I was painting it years ago.

Here’s to Health, Joy, Love, Happiness and all the positives in life …

Learnings from a tree

Today is a new day…

Like a flowering tree blooming everyday, with hopeful buds

Make a promise to yourself to live and greet each day with enthusiasm.

Yesterday is gone by and today is a new day…

Let not your past
Come in the way
Of all that you are
Leave yesterday
And live today.

For your present
Is what matters
The past is lived
And this now
Is yours to live.

Friends

Taking this moment

To express my thoughts

Of Gratitude to all my readers

Friends known & unknown

Visible and invisible

In touch & at a distance

For visiting me, keeping in touch,

By caring to leave a kind word,

Or reaching out with a warm message

It truly is moments like these

That makes me want to continue

To pen my thoughts

With all of you out there.

For writing is a pleasure

With friends like you.

The Dance & The Dancer

How can you separate the dancer from the dance?

For there is no one without the other

Body and soul united in spirit.

When the two meet there emerges energy

In unison of the cohesive oneness

The heart knows what the mind speaks

And mind tells what the heart wants

In the dance of the lead and follow

There is no one without the other.

 There is a draw of passion

There a pull of power

And there is the push of purpose

To flow as one in the moment of the now!

Embedded is the dance in a dancer

Embalmed is the dancer in the dance.

All of you

Play like a child can and be ready for wonder

Work like you are truly invested in it

Dance to embody the truth of you

Love with all of your heart and soul

Live like there is no tommorow

All it takes is all of you!
