One World
The world is beyond what we assume
There are no labels on earth
There are no maps drawn
All that we believe is what we have created for ourselves
We may have different names
We may create different countries
We may call ourselves citizens of one land
But earth knows or cares not of your distinctions of race gender or creed
It knows not rich or poor
Nature knows not class or caste
Wonder what are we so set about ?
What makes us so full of opinions?
In fact if we only could see and a acknowledge
The earth in all its beauty
There are different seasons in different places
Yet our world is not about differences
For under the sky and sun
We are one, life is vulnerable and beautiful in all its unique ways.
When we care to see diversity as a strength
We would be more caring of our mother earth.
And we would see our earth as one and only world we have.

A Perspective of Advocacy
A mind-boggling perspective on Advocacy came my way !! 🙂
College Student Group asked a lawyer
*So what does ‘advocacy’ mean?”*
Lawyer said:
*I will present an example for this!*
*Suppose two people come to me, one is very clean and the other is very dirty. I advise both of them to get clean and take bath.*
*Now you guys tell me, who among them will take a shower ?? “*
One student said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the clean person will do it, because he has the habit of bathing, while the dirty does not know the importance of cleaning*
*Lawyer :: Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
The second student said: *Clean person*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the dirty person will take a bath because he is the one who needs cleaning.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Two students said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”No, but both will take a bath because the clean person has a habit of bathing, while the dirty one needs a bath.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Now three students speak together: *”Both of them will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”Wrong, no one will take a bath, because dirty is not used to bathing, whereas clean one does not need to bathe*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
A student politely said:
*”You give a different answer every time and every answer seems to be correct. How do we know the correct answer ???”*
Lawyer said:
*This is just ‘advocacy’! It is not important what the reality is*
*The important thing is, how many possible arguments can you offer to prove your point.* “😂
One moment to the next
To stay centered in equanimity
Is to be aware of the self in this now
Are we present in the moment?
Are we staying calm to understand
Change is the only constant…
The so called high tides, give in only to recede in time.
The dunes speak of sifting sands of time
Where there were mountains there are plains today…
What seems impossible becomes possible in time.
All is meant to move on
Problems well they come and go
Nothing lasts forever
That is why life is so precious
And every moment must be well lived.
From one moment to next!

Words of wisdom
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.
The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.
And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God’s knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.
Kahlil Gibran…
One of my favorite writers with profound words of wisdom.
I had been introduced to his books as a teenager but have revisited his works especially ‘ The Prophet ‘ many times just to soak in the learnings.
Learning is best done in willingness & curiosity to explore the beyond.
Teaching is best done in understanding the learnings and the learner.
Learning never stops it is like a river that flows…
The teacher creates curiosity for learning takes you to the river banks of knowledge and then allows you to quench your thirst, assimilate the learning to expand your horizons of learning.

Finding the good…
These are certainly abilities worth cultivating :))
Ability to see the good is a great habit to cultivate
Ability to respect the people for who they are.
Ability to work with diversity of thoughts
Ability to coexist in peace and harmony.
Ability to generate goodwill whenever we can.
Ability to make light of things
Ability to dance in the rain
As much as in the lightness of being.

For the love of books
A book bound or otherwise
Is a treasure to an ardent reader
Who knows the emotions sensed,
In the company of a good book
Of times, well spent in the joy of reflections.
Reading is a beautiful voyage of discovery… of new learning and associations in assimilation.
Books, that transport us back and forth in time in a moment.
Books, that beckon us to a world of imagination.
Books, that create the magic of words
Books, that speak of truths and illusions
Books, that contain stories of life & living
Have you a favorite book that comes to mind immediately?

A dedication
Yesterday was Celebrated as World Poetry day
A dedication …
Video credits:Fb
Wisdom from souls who know
Say angels fly, as they take themselves lightly
A matter of being at ease..so that you will traverse far
Fly knowing the roots are steady on the ground
Soar in the sky sensing the wind in your wings.
Stay on course… you will find yourself.
Life is better the moment you realise
Its value in every now.
So when worry and despair imbalances your thoughts
When anguish and self doubts rocks your self esteem
Rest assured it shall all pass and time will get you over the brink
Just care to have faith, ease up your thoughts
And choose to live, dancing lightly with life .
Resonated deeply with this lovely visual shared by Sanja Sremacki so resharing it along with my verses above as a dedication to this very beautiful reflection of ‘Living life in the lightness of being’.

WHOEVER GUARDS HIS TONGUE KEEPS HIS SOUL AWAY FROM TROUBLES.
Silence is full of wisdom
When we listen in silence
We hear and understand more
Silence speaks more than words can say.
Listen to the intuitive
The meditative, contemplative
The reflective & the restorative voices
There is a connective wisdom
In the sounds of silence
Emanating from you.
It is your precious inner self
Expressing itself.
Be mindful and attentive
Listen if you can,
Every once in a while.”
Embody the peace within.
