Freedom to be…
Every life deserves the dignity of being
Freedom to be respected as they are ,
Freedom, to be valued and feel safe and secure, as every other human being .
Are you…
Free to express yourself as you are?
Free to share without fear?
Free to find yourself ?
Free to think for yourself?
Know then that the world needs
Your uniqueness as you are…
Now more than ever before!

I received this beautiful photo capture years ago, and I cherish it. Everytime I see it, it speaks to me.
A few musings…
There is a pool
I often sit by
with my thoughts
In fact all of me.
Its a pool that inspires
Creativity in collaboration
Its a pool that invites
Connections in association.
A pool of collectives
That move me beyond
The rut of mediocrity
To an all expansive space.
A pool of equanimity
That keeps me balanced
A pool centered inside
That aligns it all to the core.
A pool is an interesting place, as it is allowing yet contained.The circle of thoughts, in a pool allow space of contemplation.
Without the hurry and haste, to sense the moment as it is.
Every now and then choose to sit with/by your own pool of peace sensing the peace you already have.

Acknowledgement is a step towards improvement.
Realizing the effects and the cause is relevant to change.
Our world is a gift we have in life
We are interweaved in this tapestry of life and living.
And we are strengthened in the interconnects in between.
Yet we have distanced ourselves
The advancements create gadgets of convenience
But humane care and connection is distanced
We behave as if we are entities self centric without consideration
Humanity in humans is deeply affected
But we are yet to understand
The consequences our actions
Truth is reality bites.
Yet hope is here to stay.

Thought provoking
In a matter of scale
We are destroying nature
Than developing with nurture.
Global warming, melting ice
Depleting forest cover
Flood & earthquakes
All a sign of stark changes…
Yes our world is evolving
We are innovating, exploring
New frontiers in space
But how far have we really arrived?

To all the dancers and those who choose to waltz with life….
As dancers we are a lucky lot!
We are totally able to dance with time…
Move with it on time,
Or take the offbeat road to reverse and revel the joy of reflections in the rivers of time.
Savvy
Creativity flourishes in chaos
Even more than structure and order
For complacency will not set in
When disruptions make you resist…
You start to think outside the box
As the box when open is full of possibilities in the disruption.
So add a bit of randomness
Incorporate changes and unpredictability…
In the chaos of it all
There would be trial & error
New ways appear out of nowhere.
As creativity flourishes in disruptivity.

The world may seem to revolve around you
But you revolve along with the world.
So to be in balance is to take a hold
Of the space you are in
To find your bearing, before you react.
To optimize your response
Begin to understand and discern
Where another is in space, in thoughts
In actions and deeds.
To listen actively
To empathize with their needs and wants…
To be able to see the ‘Us beyond the I’
To shift the ‘Me to the We’
This is what will truly help
Us to understand where we are.
Life is like that,
Its meant to evolve and grow
Along in the flow!

On letting go ….
Making peace with the now,
Very easy, they say.
Follow the breath,
And peace flows.
Yet…
We all know
That it is quite a task
To be consistent.
That’s how life is!
Such is truth in itself
In this now
As every moment
Gives in to the new.
We are meant to be,
To learn and unlearn.
Our senses,
Our emotions
Challenge us in the changes.
Our system takes a toll;
Our beliefs turn around
In soul searching ways…
And then, we learn to see
The moment as it presents itself.
All judgements and assumptions,
All prejudices and preconceived notions
Fade away into the oblivion.
We live in this moment.
In engagement again
But with this now,
Without forgetting what has gone
But forgiving times bygone.
For only then, we make space,
For peace to flow in…

I was a little kid when I first came across this beautiful word Aurora …and then I read about the Polar Lights and was truly fascinated.
Back then I read as much as I could find in books before the age of the internet.
For many of us so far away from the poles this is often impossible to imagine beyond a blue sky… let alone the dancing lights.
Resharing this poem which is a dedication to Nature’s dance in the sky… all in the depth of my awe & fascination.
Spectre of brilliance
An opera in the sky
A dance of dazzling lights
Of colours flashing through.
Luminescent beyond compare
Magical spectacle of brilliance in the flow
An undulating waltz in the yonder
An unveiling of earth’s myriad wonders.
Such an ethereal vision
Mystical northern lights
Unbelievable, unforgettable
Awesomeness beyond mere words.

Life and living…
Every life has a purpose all its own.
Life is what you make of it.
Make it memorable
Make it meaningful
Live to sense the magic of life.

Own your breath
Inhale the good
Let go the spurious
Anything that never matters
Is bound to bounce off.
What is necessary receive
With atmost regard.
Your breathe holds the key
Unlock the healing potential
As you breathe deeper
With all of your awareness
In every inhale and exhale.
Breathe in peace.
Savvy
There is a place
That fills you with positivity
Enriches you with expansiveness
Embodies inclusiveness.
Enough to keep your faith going.
Endowed with trustfulness
Believe in possibilities.
A place of potential value
Thats nurturing in itself.
That lights the way forward.
A place that speaks to all of you!
A beautiful place called hope!
Savvy
There are signs that seem to appear
Out of nowhere
That make us hope, have faith
That help retain our trust
That shows the way
In our darkest hours.
There is a communion
Of our senses with our soul
A beautiful serendipitous wave
That washes through us
To bring clarity along the way.
The truth is always with you…
Guiding us to believe
To see the bigger picture.
To know nothing is accidental
There is always something more.

Someone the other day asked me, are you a coffee or tea person.
I wonder…
All my life so far, have never been a coffee or tea person.
But of late I am sensing what a cup of steaming hot goodness can do for my spirit.
It’s not a tea or coffee that I want,
Its a cup of cheer, that soothes me and rejuvenates me .
Sure its not a habit so far , but it certainly good to pause every once in a while and take a sip and sense the world a little bit more in time.
My favorites …
I love the plain old ginger lemon & honey tea. Or even like a herb/ spice infused cinammon tea!
As for coffee very rarely, I enjoy the aroma of filtered South Indian coffee.
But the reason I drink a cup of goodness and what I would want most is…
Something that warms my heart
Something that sweetens my thoughts
Something that allows me to pause
To rest a while to gather my self.
What about you?
Are you a coffee or tea person?
Do you need it as your morning wake me up?
Do you have a craving for tea or coffee?
Do share if you are fond of coffee or tea & why?
