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.
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!
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.
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?
