Let’s just be

Lovely lines that resonate with me deeply…

We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.
Haile Selassie

A few contemplations on the same lines…

Lets envision

Beyond borders

Marked on maps

Of human existence

To know we are far more

Than our notions & judgement

We are lifes assertions

In hope & faith

Of the expansive infinite

Thats inclusive of one & all

That every life on earth

Has a purpose & reason to be

Lets acknowledge

This truth of being humane

Than just human.

And beyond all that we must

Do and say in life & living

Let’s just be …

Poets & Poetry

On power of words:

A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives,
Embedded in words in a flow…

Sometimes the words may rush
On its own without hesitation
To express away with a purpose.

But often it is a channeling…
Of creating spaces between
To pause & empathize
Before the outpouring.
It invites you to ponder…

Words have profound power
In the way they are arranged
And the thoughtful poet knows
To convey the message home.

Yet , every poet is one of a kind
And so is their poetry
Every poet balances the flow uniquely…

On empathy:

In Poets, empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion,
It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic, as to be a poem the verses need to be well emoted as much as arranged, as words manage to touch another soul in inexplicable ways.

And what happens when empathy connects with poetry?

What are your thoughts on the above?

APPRECIATION

Teach children to be open to new perspectives, nurture in them the ability to appreciate, it not only transforms them but also the way they interact in the world.

Doing good anyway

Do good

And when you do

Think not of acknowledgement

Nor recognition

Do good

From the goodness of your heart

And you will find joy in it.

Make it a practice everyday

To do at least one good  deed .

And soon it will become a habit

That happens naturally

And just know

In time…

You will do good anyway

On Confidence

Confidence is an iceberg

Radiating  outwards

From a deeply secure space

Quite unlike insecurity

Projecting confusion & chaos. 

Without much base.

Cornucopia

Every moment is a cornucopia of sensing
Fleeting thoughts in the making
Feelings and emotions reveal themselves.
Between action and inaction

And in the stillness in between
Like the ebb and flow on the tides
While at times amplifying & complicating situations
By tilting the tuning of the body and mind.

Sometimes overpowering almost self defeating
Sometimes compelling to release the stress withholding
To ease up the being & free up some space
Between thought and action.

Think of your emotions
As a bridge in between
To pause and reflect a while
And then to respond.

Respect your self and own your emotions.
For all your emotions make you, you.
Feel good that you can express
In so many shades and tones.

Emotions are interlinked
In every moment of life and living
All the while authenticating and revealing
The person you truly are.

Affirm the good

On Managing Behaviour

Whether as a parent, a partner, a teacher, a manager or leader, we all come across challenges in behavior.

Here are few pointers…

Being  critical is easier

Being an example is what matters

To pave the path of positive change

Affirm the good with consistency

Appreciate a deed well done

Behavior transforms in time.

Thriving rich?

Being rich is living life exploring and discovering all your possibilities of your potential

Being rich is being able to realize the potential of you.

Being rich is being ready to sense the abundance that is.

Money is not necessarily the only factor for your worth.

Your worth is being all that you are.

You are rich in knowing your worth.

Be enriched in health wealth & prosperity but most of all be rich in the heart and mind.

In realization of the contentment of what you have, you are truly rich!

Evolving with the changes

Wisdom continues to evolve

As change is the only constant

Knowing is never enough

Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.

Age of Aquarius

Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.

Speaking of technology its transformations, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.

Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.

The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.

On Wisdom

What to speak of wisdom?

Tommorows wisdom

Is open to learn

From the errors in this now.

In the listening, in the living

In the feeling in the sensing.

So much to understand…

Question remains are we open

to acknowledge  the misses,

as a part of being human ?

Are we ready to receive

from these experiences…

Seeking wisdom in the lessons.

Strength of the soul

A glimpse of the intangible

Is often visible through signs

Like the strength of the soul

Appears in true forgiveness

In letting go of  fear of failure

In ability to start all over again

In letting go of negativity

In ability to center the self

In letting go of revenge mentality

In the ability to share kindness

In sensing the lightness of being

In awareness of the bigger picture.

The strength of the soul shines through.

Courage and contentment

Every bit matters

Every bit of sharing
Every bit of appreciation
Every bit of encouragement
Every bit of understanding
Every bit of inclusion
Every bit of validation
Matters a great deal
To some one somewhere
Nurturing hopefulness in living
Nourishing the nature of life.
