Be anchored be balanced.
Life has a way of arranging itself.
Trust your path is meant to be
Just be…

Crossing the Culture Threshold!
There is great power in words…
To charm another,influence or drive a point home.
Engagement online can turn better on bitter in a split second.
It is all in the choice of words used to convey a message.For there is much influence the words….such is the power of words.
Sometimes knowingly or otherwise the way we express or communicate to another by the words we may use may bring a chasm than create a bridge.
Sometimes when we see another life, as beautiful and cant curb the need to express it away, we often get caught up in our own words and unknowingly end up …
Crossing the Culture Threshold!
What to one might be just a poetic expression
To another might be a glitch of discretion.
Express if one must
Feel free to feel the way you feel is the way to feel
But only as long as anothers peace you don’t unknowingly steal.
For at times in the surging words of emotion…
Arises unnecessary stress and discomfort.
Better to know the pause in the space between our steps
And value your edges in every move.
For in every positive step in discretion
There is simply the strength of trust without mention.
When I penned these lines they were specifically for driving the message home gently that no one can tread on another’s emotional space without permission especially online using the power and persuasion of words…
True respect for another being can simply be about letting others be.

Are you too busy?
The art of giving time and attention…
Is worth mastering to have any
successful relationship.
Nothing worth having can ever be rushed.
What do you think?

Reality Bites
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.

On Acceptance
The Road to Acceptance has many challenges in the learnings… not often easy, but certainly transforming in one way or the other.
Like there are many aspects to understanding
In acceptance there are many perspectives
Acceptance is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient nature of everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now.
The Paradox of acceptance is being defenseless to yin and yangs of life and living. Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength, is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness , in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

Making peace with the now
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…

Razors Edge
On the razors edge, there is poignant elegance
Beautiful poise, precariously in balance
Amidst the fury of the fire raging beneath
She stand resolute in her calmth
Not helpless but in knowing nature’s ways
That in time, all is well back to base.
Beauty on the outside burns off into the ember
Leaving an ashen pile of dust to remember.
Yet deluding the fury in being uprooted
In the strength of the grounding firmly rooted
Leaving an evergreen picture of poise
She has that stoic stance of grace.
A pose of composure on destiny’s face
In spite of a life abruptly denied
She is the beauty of grace personified!

Breathe in Peace
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.

A place called Hope
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!

Taking life lightly
Birds fly higher and higher
As if they are as light as a feather
They take themselves lightly!
Full of faith trust & self belief .
To be able to soar high
Onwards & upwards
Choose to let go of burdens
That create density
In thoughts words & deeds
Unfold the wings of freedom
Unfurl in the lightness of being
There is joy in sensing freedom
Thats who you truly are!

On Mentoring
None can tell you what is the truth
As much as you yourself can!
Often a mentor , a guide a teacher
Can take you near your truth
But its all up to you to own yours
Every truth is colored by perspectives
Of its own creation.
Every person has a truth
That needs to be reckoned with
As the perspectives converge
There is an emergence
Of the truth of one’s being.

What is beautiful?
Here is a beautiful forward that caught my eye.
When they asked her to reveal her beauty secrets, Audrey Hepburn wrote this beautiful text that was later read at her funeral.
′′ To have attractive lips, speak kind words.
To have a loving look, look for the good side of people.
To look skinny, share your food with the hungry.
To have beautiful hair, let a child cross it with his own fingers once a day.
To have a beautiful poise, walk knowing you’re never alone, because those who love and loved you accompany you.
People, even more than objects, need to be fixed, spoiled, awakened, wanted and saved: never give up on anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a hand, you’ll find them at the end of both your arms.
When you become old, you will discover that you have two hands, one to help yourself, the second to help others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, in her face or in her way of fixing her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the door open to her heart, the source of her love.
The beauty of a woman doesn’t lie in her makeup, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the tenderness that gives love, the passion that it expresses.
The beauty of a woman grows over the years ′′
Live Love Laugh!
In Laughter is the shedding
Of the spurious
A cleansing of the hearts
A bridging of joys in this now!
In laughter is the clearing
Of the burdens
A lightness of being
A healing of the spirits
For Laughter makes you sense
The happiness of this now!
Laugh a little more everyday!

If not now then when?
If not now then when…
Will we distinguish the need and want
For between them is a line of balance
To understand in awareness
To acknowledge in understanding
Some needs are common to life & living.
But wants are more specific in nature.
The motivation of these wants
Is both intrinsic and extrinsic
Some wants are by nature
And some wants are formed in nurture.
To be motivated towards thinking
Of what to have and let go in time
Is a matter of discernment
In conscious consideration
A matter of introspection
To bring about waves of changes in action.
Moving beyond the apparent realities
It’s a matter of awareness of the imprints
Of life and living…
A subject of substantial deliberation
Not too common a pathway.
And yet an offbeat road leads to surprising revelations
