Beautiful is the word I sense
Ethereal vision in white.
Under a canopy of sky so blue
A treat to envision
This is the White-wisteria
The Japanese tree.

Jungle king
When the king of the jungle roams free…
The rules of the road cease.
And nature rules…
For they care not
About man made roads
And traffic rules
For them all is nature
Unlike humans they are truly free.

On Freedom
On Freedom
Freedom is being able to be all of you
But remembering the rights
Of other lives to be all of them
When we understand…
Our Freedom ends where another’s freedom begins.
So then
How free do you feel in this now
How important is freedom to you?
Can you sense your life flowing
Or is there restraints that bound you
Can you express yourself without hesitation?
Can you speak your mind without fear?
Can you write without worrying if the words may reveal your nature?
Can you walk alone without a care where you live?
Can you wear what you want without fear of ridicule?
Can you dance the way your spirit moves you?
In short
Can you flow in harmony with the spirit in you?
If you have answered more yes than no then consider yourself closer to being truly free.
Freedom is not for giving
Freedom is there for taking
Freedom is being you
As you truly are
Freedom is living
Without facades.
Wherever you sense
You are most you.
Now…
How free are you feeling
In this now?

Smiles from the heart
‘Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.’
Paramahansa Yogananda
Have you smiled today?
When you smile from the heart
You begin to let go the spurious
You rise above apprehensions
And self created notions.
Smile from the heart ❤️

Nurture the now
Life gives life
Life takes life
Live heals life
Life hurts life
Life nurtures life
Life tortures life
Life can be powerful
Life can be powerless
At any one moment
Such is the truth of life
In the river of time
Youth ages in time
Life moves on
In every moment at hand
Realize the preciousness of now
Sense the bliss in the blessings
From hands that raise you
For time takes a toll
What was, is not going to be
What will be we do not know
What is now, make it matter
Practice gratitude
Practice appreciation
Practice thankfulness
In this now.

Just Breathe
Breathe deep in trust
Breathe well in faith
Breathe in peace
Let go uncertainty
Breathe in connectedness
Own your every breath
It’s yours to inhale & exhale.
Sense your breathe in balance
Reach out with confidence
Stay grounded in rootedness
In this now, witness
The present moment
For it makes all the difference
Just breathe…

Wisdom of life & living
Grateful for a powerful caption that caught my eye
‘Don’t bite more than you can chew.’
Denotes the wisdom of moderation in life and living. To know a cut off point
Is to know where to draw the line between exhaustion and excitement.
Simply taking on more work or responsibility or trying to multitasking beyond your abilities and capacities is self defeating.
So only commit to what you truly can deliver .
Not less not more.
So grateful to have read this many years ago. It struck a deep chord in me and must say I have been trying consistently to practice this advice in lifeand living.
Happy to share this simple yet profoundly impactful learning.

Gifts of Nature
Fruits and vegetables support existence . So important to cultivate gratitude for every bit that comes one’s way.
A gift of nature that was awaiting me at dawn from my terrace garden.
Gratitude and thankfulness to the fresh fruits and vegetables in nature🙏

Your choice!
Our humanity is within us awaiting expression.
Every one of us has the choice to be humane.
“Sometimes we’re fractured by the choices we make; sometimes we’re shattered by things we would never have chosen. But our brokenness is also the source of our common humanity, the basis for our shared search for comfort, meaning, and healing. Our shared vulnerability and imperfection nurtures and sustains our capacity for compassion.”
— Bryan Stevenson
There is something touchingly tender in every instance of humanity in action be it in thoughts words or deeds.
Our humanity makes us touch the true purpose of our being alive .
Wouldn’t you think so?

Light & Dark
Darkness is a great opportunity to discover the divine face of the light!’
I like the positivity in this quote by Mehmat Murat Ildan the Turkish novelist
Acknowledging the shadow behind the light is understanding the duality of creation and valuing the balance and harmony in every moment .

Blending in…
Blending in
If you visit a new place as a tourist
Would you prefer to blend in
Such that you are almost invisible…
Or would you be someone
Who would prefer to be noticed,
For your differences
And draw attention of others
Being able to blend in can often be a blessing in disguise.
As you look like you have been there and are aware of their ways of life.
You don’t stick out like a sore thumb.
Or behave as if you are out of place.
You tend to draw less attention perhaps, but there in is your safety in new locales.
You are adaptable and accepting of the new culture.
For some it’s really easy
For some it’s truly difficult
For they are by nature noticeable
Whether they like it or not!
What is your take on this…
Have you ever tried to blend in or stand out from the crowd
How has your experiences of traveling been so far ? Do share.

Small Steps
Every little step in time matters.
A little step every time
Takes you closer to your goal
Without much of a challenge
Whereas more the distance
Between two steps
More the need for motivation
For continuous progress
In the case of little steps
There is always a little progress
In every small step forward.
You are steps ahead in time
In consistent balance.
Small steps together
Can make a big difference
In the sensing of success.

A fine balance
When progress is a possibility
Perfection is a fleeting moment.
An idealistic illusion perhaps of what’s in the offing.
There is always scope for more
For no one can be perfect all the time and in everything.
Growth is about progress, not perfection.
As perfection is constricting,
Whereas progress is liberating.
Perfection may be sensed and applauded every once in a while.
But it is progress which gives a confidence through continuous improvement.
True sense of balance is achieved.
In aiming for perfection, but in realizing it is an unending journey of progress.
In knowing while there is always more without discounting achievements.
Perfection of any kind is like the tight rope walking performer
The mere fraction of second when moments seem perfectly orchestrated with no lose of Balance
Glimpses of perfection are points of motivation
And progress is about a never-ending journey of improvements
For life goes on…

Living or just existing…
It’s never just about existence
There is always more
To life and living.
Something in the offing
Something in the sensing
Something that’s not yet palpable
To think we exist for ourselves
Is to have never existed to all
Forget about living life.
We thrive most
When we help each other thrive
That way we sustain our thriving
Life is meant to be lived & loved
For all that matters in the end is
Have we lived or just existed?
