Today, I came across a beautiful Japanese word called ‘Komorebi’ that depicts…the beauty of light filtering in through the leaves. And I see this picture, that I had saved, somehow seems to fit right in…
Beauty of impermenance
Every ray of light
In these leaves …
Can never be replicated
To exact moments.
Yet there is stillness
In its fleeting moment
In simple appreciation,
And heartfelt acknowledging
Of the beauty of impermenance.

Few thought provoking sentences that I read.. 1: In a 2000 Sq feet house you live in 200 Sq feet; in the remaining 1800 Sq feet lives your ego. 2.The difference between “Time” and “Wealth”. You are always aware at all times how much wealth you have but you are never aware at any time […]
Musings
Shadows speak much
Silhouettes cast
Shading surfaces…
Shadows are not all dark
Sometimes they seem grey
Sometimes blue on snow
Soaked in skies of clear blue .
Shadows are not all tall
Shadows falling at noon
Shrinking into themselves
Seeming almost nonexistent.
Shadows not only keep time
Shadows change with clock.
Shadows are a step behind
Seen on opposing ends.
Speaking of art
Shadows and artists
Seem interconnected.
For an artist knows
To play with shadows
To light something up.
Creating contrasts
And dramatic depth.
Speaking of depth
Shadows hide within us
Sensing and keeping scores
Symbolic of the yet unseen
Still emerging in actions
Still evident even if unsaid.
Still granting form to light
Staying united at source.
Shafts of light may be seen
Shadows muted self
Subtly beautiful shadows…
Shadows can be beautiful
Sharp or blurry visions
Sharing wisdom from within
Shadows are not superior
Shadows are not inferior
Simply united at source
Shadows are part of us.
This piece of contemplation is inspired writing after a mention from my friend@Roshnii and her thoughtful tagging.

April has come and gone
August too has passed on
Changing months
Changing seasons
Although pleasant and cool.
There is a nip in the air
Winter is soon approaching
Just around the bend.
Across the horizon
I look up at the morning sun
Awakening my senses warmly
In the alchemy of apricity.
This poem flows along in my simple joy of using this rarely used word. APRICITY…the warmth of a winters sun.
Hoping for apricity
Of feeling the warm sun
On a cold winters day…

Wind in the sky
Invisible to the eye
Its strength is in its movement.
In fluidity of the flow.
Speed is its force
Dynamic in its directions
Powerful in its presence.
Without physical form.
Yet it’s the air that we breathe
That keeps us alive…
Wind in the sky
Agility its second name
Knows to blow hot & cold.
To be a breeze or a blizzard
Impactful is its presence.
Resilient in its ways
Change is its nature.

Wind on water
Wind on sand
Talk of profundity in brevity.So much can be said in a few words.Came across this very brief but thought provoking read and felt like sharing . Have interspersed them with a few relevant pictures. 8 micro short stories, with deep meanings! (1) Those who had coins, enjoyed in the rain. Those who had notes, were […]
Profound stories
Wind on the sand
Gathering gently
Singing sweetly…
Whistling winds…
Humming & howling
Desert dunes
Deep drones
Shifting sands
Slumping steep
Silver on silver
Gold on gold.

The wind on the water
Dancing divine
Riveting rhythm
Forming in the flow.
Patterns performing
Orchestras in the ocean

Water water everywhereBut not a drop to drink! We are country overflowing with an abundance of rivers and blessed with the monsoon season. Yet the picture is grim. Rivers are tilting the balance, either in floods or in a draught. The changing weather conditions, the seasonal shifts, have created havoc on our agriculture. Common man’s […]
Water matters
Turning inwards
From illusions to clarity
Lighting the lamp within
Awakening in awareness
To the timeless truth
Essence of consciousness.
A prayer integrating the body mind & spirit . 🙏

Infinite possibilities
Who said beginning again was easy ?
In the discomfort of new beginnings
In the challenges of the changes
You feel lost in a maze.
You sense your vulnerabilities.
Yet, as you persevere on, with a beginners mindset
No matter what and where life takes you…
You find your own strengths
Unfolding new paths & possibilities.
Beginnings challenge the best of us. Not all is rosy and easy…especially the beginning, all over again.
I was thinking of how important it is to imbibe the beginners mindset, the one that is passionately earnest and yet humble in patience & perseverance to bend and not break….that makes it an art of new beginnings.

Art on black paper
The artist is engrossed
Working relentlessly
Charcoal on black
Revealing the light from the dark
Reversing the fundamentals of art
Shaping the light into form
Contouring the edges
White charcoal lifts and highlights
Speckling with light
Black ones adding depth
Matting the shine
The fluid fingers flowing
Almost dancing on paper
Sweeping strokes
Creating softness of light
In contrast they meet
Sharp staccato moves
Accenting tension and texture.
Arresting the eyes.
This waltz with light on dark
And dark on light
In shades & tones
Applying and erasing
Refining in the rendering
Form merges and emerges…

Stay Hopeful
It’s early evening
The sunlight is still filtering in
I sit back, after a walk.
It feels like a balmy dusk
Watching dappled rain drops
Falling on verdant leaves 🍃
Petrichor fills the air
Rising from the earth
Sensing the glimmers of this now.
Serenading my senses, in serendipity…
