I enjoy simplifying complexity
For I do believe simplicity
Is just complexity turned upside down
And perhaps knotted and twisted at times.
All it needs is an untangling.
In thoughts words and deeds.
While the mind may play games
Simply speaking from the heart
Seeing with the heart
Feeling the sensations that emnate from the heart
Will release the unnecessary knots
And create a path of clarity.

Today my mornings photography muse is this beautiful white hibiscus tenderly unfurling itself in the green foliage..I simply had to click a picture…
There is so much peace
That a white blossom emits
A sense of spirituality
Pervades in its unfurled petals
A guest for just a single day
Who better than this bloom
Gracing my garden today
To teach the truths of life.
Of living life lovingly
Garnering the wisdom of changes
Of impermenance
Its petals. proud & present
In this precious now.
Without worries of tommorow
So much dignity in its beauty.
Perhaps it understands
Transience of nature
In the phases of life
Only too well
While it blooms in peace.

From the darkness of night
Emerges the light of dawn.
From the brink of despair
Rises a ray of hope.
When all feels lost in a maze
A way out appears somehow
When doubts creeps in the cracks
Trust opens the heart in faith
When you realise how much can be at stake
You value the gift of another day.
What a difference a day can make…

Space.
Space allows.
Space that expands
Space that acknowledges you.
Space that lets you be.
Space that opens up for you
Space that speaks to you in you.
Space that listens as it speaks
Space that evolves you
Space for growth and learning
Space that liberates
Space frees
Space.
I wrote this piece in a flow…
In a space of calm.
I enjoyed writing it as I began playing with space in and around the poem unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.
I hope you enjoy reading it.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the nature of the land? Do you sense the sandstorm? Do you see the vivid colours of the womens clothes juxtaposed against the barren land? Do you see them huddle together taking refuge with no where to go? This picture evokes emotions. The wind, the women […]

Importance Of Play
Being tender in the toughest of times
Being gentle and generous with the self
In times of chaos and conflicts
In and around us
Is the way of weathering-the-storms.
Being caring and compassionate
In thoughts words and deeds.
With empathy that empowers
In light and goodwill.
Is the way of gentle heart
Flowing in loving kindness.
Everything is in this now
Who am I in this now,
Matters more than ever before
For tomorow that is yet to arrive.
Instead of mulling over
Uncertainties of life
Disappointments & falls
Rise in this moment.
Ask the self
Who am I in this now?
Whatever and however this moment presents…
Am I able to look at what is?
Meet it with composure?
What are my kind of choices ?
Am I reacting or responding
In this now of my life?
Perhaps in this vulnerable space
With the truths of my being,
I sense myself growing
From and out of every experience.
That teaches me to listen
Allowing me to flow with life
Making sense, along the way.
Knowing in my heart
That I am not a stagnant pond
Nor a stone refusing to roll.
For rolling stones gather no moss
I flow with lightness
Living life lovingly.

Finish lines dont define you Nor does what you begin with It does not matter who are how… It is wise to keep in mind that no success or failure is necessarily final. Savvy
Endless beginnings
A few musings… Where is humanity in this now? What does it take for humanity to thrive? How does it continue to thrive? Touched by the grace of gratitude Appeased in the love for life Moving beyond the self in inclusivity In thoughts, words and deeds. Humanity continues to thrive… In moments of humility, kindness […]
Humanity
A moonlit night
The beach glows bright
Silvery waves, sugary white
As the last of the seagulls take flight
Evening dusk shadows the skylight.
To behold, what a sight
To remember, what a night.

Chase not, the shiniest
For it often lose their sheen
Choose consistency over hype
It makes a mark in time.
What shines today
May become dull tommorow
What perseveres every day
May turn reliable in the long run .
Chase not, the loudest proclaims
It often ends up as a whimper
Choose the steadiness of approach
That often becomes substantial.
Chase not, the charmer
They often turn out fake.
To smile without heartbreak
Choose the one with humor…
And keep humor alive in your heart…

Do you live to eat or eat to live? I must confess I am no foodie,never carried any food fixation so far. Never craved too much for any particular food. Perhaps an occasional sweet treat was all I indulged in. Much to my surprise today I see a generation of food lovers around me who […]
