Power of Ripples

On Kindness



A ripple of kindness goes a long long way….


One little  movement from the heart
One tiny step to help
One single act in compassion
One bit of genuine care

Have the propensity to travel far
And influence many to kind deeds.
That await  for a sign somewhere
Remember the power of the ripples.

The Paradox of Awareness

Awareness is unique in each of us.

In awareness, there is an expansion

Of horizons of understanding

Of potential possibilities.

Yet, awareness is also about subtlety

Of understanding and of approach,

Of what is beyond bounds.

An ability to keenly discern

What is better left unsaid.

Paradoxical truth of awareness —

Awareness is both the reason

For the light of wisdom

And the despair of knowing.

Awareness raises the bar

Of comprehension by nature.

What’s important is not tilting

The balance by one’s own doing

When awareness makes us most vulnerable

To commit the very error

That we may learn to steer away from.

Such is the paradox of awareness.

You decide.

Living well is a choice you make!

Live vibrantly without uncertainty

Take the step to make a choice

With all your heart and mind.

If you don’t take your decisions

Some one else will.

Better you make it a point

To trust your decisions

And keep the faith.

More you will live without fear

Its your life after all!

Begin to love life.

And live life lovingly!

Imprints

Every thought

Every word

Every deed

Has potential

To impact consciousness

To shift and alter lives

There is an imprint somewhere

That creates a change

Within us and around us.

All is a matter

Of awareness of the imprints.

Dances of the world : Argentine Tango

Dancing is the ultimate art of expression of the spirit of life. Every part of the world has a unique set of dances that set it apart yet find some similarities somewhere. And that’s what is the strength of the creative art of movements, in the interconnects of community, culture , history, traditions as well as a reflection of the expression of changing times in the Dance Connection, and that is what beautiful about ‘Dance’ itself.

On the occasion of International Tango Day on 11 th December…

As a Celebration of Tango Dancers across the world …Sharing a few verses on Tango with a beautiful Tango Watch “Andrea Vighi y Chiara Benati – Milonga para as Missoes”

Tango

Born in the dark alleys of Argentina

The stark truth emerges of murky beginnings in the 18th century

Frequented mostly by slaves, immigrants in the ports of Buneos Aires and even Uruguay.

There were even bans on many of these tango musical gatherings.

The dance form began with countless influences of European and native culture.

Watch

Argentine Tango is both energetic and enigmatic

It has the strength and soul to show.

Equally exotic and evocative

Intriguing and beguiling

The lead and follow is beyond genders

For connection is beyond the physicality

For beside the passion play plain to see,

There is something quite alluring & attractive in the movements.

Two people apparently moving as one

The footwork entices and enthralls

The feet move with a mind all their own

But articulating a drama through the feet.

Watch

Slow, steady or sharp and staccato movements

Each pair of feet, teasing the other

Challenging into a seemingly deadly duel of the feet.

Hitting all the right notes

Never missing a beat

Never stepping unto another

Except for a flip a dip or a show stopping lift thrown in.

If you want to see the drama of life and living,

Watch the synergy of energy playing

In a soulful yet spirited tango of two dancers.

There is rivetting romance,

Yet strikingly serious and sombre in notion.

Depths of emotion & unbridled passion

Emanating in an artistry of motion.

Today there are so many versions of the Tango

Off shoots and diverse cultural interpretations.

That created new interpretations of the way the dance is danced.

In hold, in form, in stance and in steps. That it’s almost untraceable.

Tango today is alluring as ever with dark days remaining just a history.

Yet retaining the mystery and appeal, Captivating with its intensity.

The connects so rooted in the embrace and hold, that makes the fancy footwork so effortless.

Tango truly speaks eloquently more than ever before…

Keep the faith!

Every moment can bring
Its own share of challenges
Sometimes in situations beyond hope.
And you are left with decisions to make.

When unfairness is met
With hope and faith
Life turns around
Yes everyone is challenged

In one way or another
But the wisdom in the challenge
Is to use these challenges
As stepping stones
To your success.

Life is changing
Every minute
Life is never the same
Its ok to wait and lie a little low

You need to trust nature
To move and shift things
What was lost is gained again
What was your deepest pain
Becomes a point of pleasure

Change is the only constant
My friend
Move beyond these limitations
Of this now
There is so much more to envision
So much more to accomplish.

Life is meant to flow!

Smile & the world smiles…

I particularly liked this quote I came across recently…

“Smile more than you cry, Give more than you take, and Love more than you Hate.”
– Drake

A beautiful way to be! Nicely summarized.

Will simply add…

In Laughter you nourish yourself

In Generosity you replenish your world .

In love you nurture, nature in and around you!

Tree talks

I am always fascinated by nature, especially trees … every tree speaks to us and conveys much beyond its beauty there is much to understand from its shape texture and form.

I find its lessons, often very poignant yet alluring and very inspiring as well.

If you love nature and trees may be you will like this …

Here is an interesting link I came across your birth tree

Looks like my birth tree is closer to the Rowan trees which are known to be the Trees of life 🌳 & the Ash Trees symbolic of spiritual strength as much as longevity and endurance.

Fascinating indeed to learn about the Celtic symbolic representation & personality interpretation of trees.

Regeneration

Regeneration

One of the wonders of creation

An assurance of abundance

Sign of the generosity of nature

Of the power of perseverance.

To embed and emerge

Against all odds

The seeds of creation

Are strewn far and wide

To be nourished and evolved

In hope for the morrow.

As the seasons change

Life faces the brunt of many storms

What was once fresh and green

Becomes withered yet wise

While time and tide waits for none.

As experience of living

Leaves many lessons behind

Life moves on charting its course

Learning from the wisdom

Embedded along the way.

Rooting itself into the abyss of fear

To springing forth like a Phoenix

To transform and transcend

The limitations of illusionary

And reach beyond knowing.

So do these lessons sow

Many seeds of thoughts in the mind

That reap rich harvests

In the fields of time.

A kind share a good deed

An appreciative word

A helping nature

Regenerates in the goodwill

Emerging through the ashes

To birth itself in evolutionary plan.

You

In your difficult moments

That seem to take a toll on you

Trust there is a reason to living

There is purpose to your being

While your faith seems to shake

Understand there is only one you

You are power, undefinable & limitless

Your story has a shape and form

All your own that you are meant to share

Your experiences have made you who you are.

There is a power of infinite expression in every living cell you are.

Have you truly explored the power of you?

Nurture Your Passion

Will share something today,that I have been practicing every day for many years now… it has made me a happier person.

Care to spend at least an hour or two a week to pursue your interest or passions.

The emptiness left by not pursuing it distracts more time out of you than pursuing it for a couple of hours a week.

And in time not only do others see you feel more at ease when you are with them; there will also be something wonderful to look forward for yourself!
