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
Art of New Beginnings
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.

Charcoal on black
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…

Serenading my senses…
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…

Truth of Meditation
Smile from the heart!
It’s truly a wonderful way to live inside out.
There is a lot in life to be thankful for .
Sending such an intention outward is an unending hope, that life never hardens, the living with all our heart & soul.

#smile from the heart
Light of dawn
Its presence needs a little wait,
In both patience and perseverance.
To envision the mighty rays
Dawn of its true potential.
In lighting the hearts
Aflame in purpose.
This poem aims to reflect the dawn, by beginning slowly to depict the stillness that precedes the dawn and like an inhale, generate the light building up to dawn and then accelerate to the brilliance of sunshine… hope you enjoy reading it.

Look at the sky
Look up
The same sky that brought the storm
Brings forth the sunshine
What more proof do you need,
To trust that it will soon change?
Whatever it is,
Better times are around the bend.

Grace of Luminescence
On a moonlit night
Embalmed in its luminescence.
Bathed in its argent glow
Graced by the peace in the beam
Radiance lingers in its pearlescent reflection
Drawing us to look upwards
As we are enveloped by its lovely light.

Preciousness Of Now
What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?
It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.
Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self
And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.
On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️

This post actually was inspired by a comment from my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.
Her comment made me stop and think of how much even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.
Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

Heartbeats
Storms rage and ravage
They lay waste the efforts
And destruct many a lives.
Yet they rise, only to fall
When the storm subsides
The world picks up the pieces
Of the then and now…
To build again in hope
That tommorow is another new day.
But storms that pass, often leave imprints;
Of traumas in those testing times
Of fear in the back of the mind.
They appear in dreams
Almost as if it is reality.
They create confusion in the sanest of times
But when the heart knows
That fear is just the mind
Playing its tricks again.
It becomes brave
And continues to beat stronger
And life dances to its beats…
For it has survived the storm.
Rest all is history 💙
Storms have a way of playing with our life even when they have long subsided.
The brewing storm in our thoughts and dreams may seem fearful yet they also bring perspective to empower ourselves.
I write these verses inspired by the reading the title and verses of this poem, this morning. Thank you 🙏 poeticmobility.
And the image here is from my Ai artwork collections, for I somehow feel it belongs here as well.
I leave a question here for you to reflect upon…
Every life has survived its own share of storms
Leaving much wisdom in the learnings behind.
What lesson has your heart learned after the storm?

Trust that
Sometimes when you are lost
Know time is working its ways
Between these moments
Too sensitive to a fault
Or too numb to be hurt.
When life is a like a storm
And you feel lost in a maze
You still find your way out
To the now, as you read this,
Trust time to deliver ways
Trust that…
