Be ready
For you get what you asked for
In one way or another
Be ready
For the form and shape of things
As they come to you
Be ready
To have yours intentions arrive
Before you even know!

On Engagement
Engagement is an involvement
It involves committment.
Engagement is an action
It involves doing, a deed
Engagement is a focused interest
To do whatever is possible.
Engagement can be a moral obligation.
What are your daily engagements?
What keeps you engaged in them?

On Painting
To me…
Painting is an iterative journey
Full of surprises in the flow
Something to stumble upon
To follow on & find meaning.
In letting go of the control
You begin to see the guidance
Forming in the impressions
Sometimes subtle or strong
As the brush moves on canvas
Leaving imprints of colours
Patterning itself in a narrative
Creating a purpose for itself.
Painting is a tool in trusting
In faith, in the discovery
Shaping itself through you
Bridging beyond in the now.

On understanding!
Today I came across this interesting proverb.
If a man fools me once, shame on him. If he fools me twice, shame on me. ~ Chinese Proverb
It makes me think a little more…
How much of experiences does one need to help learn from making mistakes?
Till we use our mistakes as stepping stones to success.
If there is a surefire way to surf through life without issues…
It is in the ability to take the self lightly!
To realise what seems like a big issue today may seem very insignificant in time.
How much does one depend on the armour of God to help in tiding through lifes crisis?
In sensing that faith is all there is…
There is a knowing that there is always hope beyond despair.
How can we learn to see through the facades?
In understanding that there is more to seeing beyond the looking.
How can we protect ourselves from being conned?
In trusting the self before all else!
Does loneliness or loss and the ensuing vulnerability make one a target or a victim?
It depends on ones perspective of life .
For in the loneliness there is a opportunity for self awareness
And our strengths can emanate from our vulnerabilities.
How to keep the spirit calm, collected & contented ?
In witnessing the world while breathing deeply and bringing our awareness to the now…
And how can we learn to take responsibility for our errors of judgment?
In knowing we have the power of choice with us! And remember to think well and choose equally well!.

A Matter Of Perspective…
Here is beautiful perspective that I received in a share today
My grandmother always drank her coffee like this! I thought it was because it was too hot.
Do you remember older generations drinking from their saucer? Then today I came across this poem that made me feel there was symbolism to the coffee ritual.
Drinking from My Saucer
by John Paul Moore
I’ve never made a fortune and it’s probably too late now.
But I don’t worry about that much, I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s way, I’m reaping better than I sowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
I don’t have a lot of riches, and sometimes the going’s tough.
But I’ve got loved ones around me, and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He’s bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ’Cause my cup has overflowed.
I remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again.
So God, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I’ve hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed❤️
Peacefulness
A state of coexistence
With ourselves and the world
Where we can nurture our best potential
Towards transformations
That envisions beyond compare.

It sure is a long kiss to goodnight .
Trust…
There are summers, full of fun
And more spring times, to come.
There is the beauty of mountains to envision
And snow times to chill…
Our days are yet to unravel
Countless sights of beautý to savour
Evenings to dance to some great country music.
And there is the beckonning of starry nights yet to behold …
While there will be days of thunder and lightning.
Till the storms pass on and the sun is shining
It is truly amazing when the simple love for life
And a lttle bit of hope pulls us through …
So its truly a long kiss to goodnight.

Wisdom of Patience
Patience awaits
In faith and belief.
Patience is understanding
For patience hones itself
For suitable moments.
Patience is non-judgemental.
Patience bears the burden
Of the moments,
Knowing the power of time.
Patience is resilience in action.
Patience is strength of the spirit.
Patience speaks volumes for the soul,
Without a word or a deed.
Such is the wisdom of patience
For much is resolved in patience.
A true companion for wisdom is patience, and a lot of life’s so-called situations that need solutions can be resolved by thinking differently!

On Acknowledging .
Acknowledgement of the good starts with you
And how you act on it…
Everyday make sure to walk and laugh , sing and dance and see the beauty in every beat of a living heart and that’s a step to tuning yourself to loving this world a little more.
All is in the acknowledgement in hope and positivity.
Savvy
Love
Love heals like no other
A good measure of love
Is the best antidote
To the grieving heart
True love is accommodating
Without force & compulsion
It’s ever-expansive and inclusive
Love spreads messages of hope
Kindles goodwill in aching hearts
Age no matter love springs forth enthusiasm for life and living
Such is the power of love!

Making things right
In being proved wrong
We learn something new
What if we celebrate the learning
Than criticize making mistakes
For mistakes are an error of judgement.
It is already happened, in the past
What matters is what we make of it
Are we ready to accept our mistakes?
Are we ready to learn from it to move on?
After all instead of fussing over mistakes,
Let’s be receptive to being wrong.
And care to imbibe a new perspective
For then we can be a little less wrong now🙏

Authentic Appreciation
Give credit, when and where credit is due
Shy not from appreciation.
Neither in giving nor taking.
If you see something that makes you feel like appreciating…
Do so immediately, don’t wait for another day.
For authentic appreciation can transform the world for the receiver.
Words matter, a great deal
Say words that mean well
Let there be no ambiguity
When you mean well
Let your words drive the message home.
All is well in clarity of communication.
Savvy
On Teamwork
Our world is not so perfect
Yet it must go on
And Ants know it best
They work as a team to solve their own set of problems.
All fingers of a hand are different
All are meant to be for a purpose that is not yet visible.
Yet much can happen in coordination & collaboration.
When one that is weak is supported by the stronger.
There is a semblance of balance
In this ball of blue.
