Live Life Lovingly!

Take time

Take time to see beyond

To care and be considerate,

To be kind and compassionate,

To wonder and stay curious.

​Take time to learn and explore,

To read and discover another,

To revere the precious now,

To stay grateful for every moment.

For life moves forward

As clocks tick relentlessly,

With no respite…

​So choose to reclaim time.

Take time for, and with, the self.

To live lovingly than just exist.

Dawn paints the day

An interesting  dawn

I woke up earlier than dawn today.

And positioned myself in my favorite space

To watch the glorious dawn

Before I could realise

A bright orange ball 

Just popped up over the horizon…

It was as if the sun was in a hurry

To awaken the world & light  the day.

As I just began to ease into the brilliance …

I saw the corner of the sun

Disappearing  into the blanket of clouds

Looming large, to dull the senses once more…

The light is hidden now

From plain sight.

Do know the sun is up 

There may be a lull in the now

But darkness is a passing cloud

Think of it, as moments to pause 

In patience for light is on the other side

Awaiting its turn to light up your day.

And yes, before I could pen these words here…

The light of dawn paints the day.

Heart speaks…

Creative connects

As a dance instructor I remember a time more than a decade ago, I built a community of dance lovers who loved the connecting over a few moves every weekend. The tribe gew organically… as for all these lovers of dance, including me, the art of movements and sharing the  creative passion… became a way of life.

I often sensed how much the times spent dancing together was a transformative  experience.  I also witnessed how many of them  found friendships and supported each other through  thick and thin.

Though I moved on to another city and began exploring and discovering many more interests in time, the times we all manage to connect again, even now always brings a joyful smile from the heart ❤️

River of time

How far have we come
From the many versions of ourselves
In this river of time
Where like water, that flows onwards
Time can never be visited backwards…
Only in memories
Held within the hearts & minds
Reminding us of the paths traveled in time.

Life continues to evolve in every now.

As life flows on …

Colouring  itself

Along the way.

I share this above digital artwork here from back in time…when AI  prompting and image creation was very nascent.

Way Of Peace

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts

The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.

And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.

We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.

Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.

Make the way of peace

A way of life.

In the middle

Right here

In the middle

Lives transformation.

Change starts

In the middle of it all

In the feeling

In the awareness

That something

Is happening.

So, true transformation too is not a one off act  in the edge of things or only where you are pushed to the extremes. True change for the better lives in the middle of consistent  moments of effort coupled with awareness.

It could start right now in the middle of it all.

Are you here in this now?

Who am I ?

This life I am in,

Is beyond emotions & intellect.

Way beyond feelings & senses.

Beyond the pain & peace of the moment. 

Beyond the pressures of life & living.

Hence I am not my peace.

And I am not my pain.

I am not the height of happiness.

I am not the depth of sorrows.

I am simply me as I am…

In the infinite resonance

In the dance of conscious awareness

A living spark of the cosmos.

In this now…

In this now I inhale peace
In this now I exhale love
In this now I sense calm
In this now I share a smile.

In this now what I can do
Matters than, then & later
For it sets the course ahead
Aligning past with present.

In this now lives potential
In this now, is the power of choice
In every now that is…
Choose well.

Walk in Light 

Walk in Light

Why walk in shadows of dark

When light is iust around the bend.

Walk in light.

If you can’t see the light

Find the light in you.

Trust your inner light

To show you the way

Love the light,

That you actually are!

Hopefulness


Calm eyes and ears

Resting and recovering

From relentless chaos

Blowing in the wind…

Seeing only a trickle of light

And sound from nature in harmony.

To energize in hope once more.

Umbrella of Grace

Magnanimous grace

Of the divine infinite,

Blessings flow in its presence.

In this ocean of abundance,

Stay still in the tremors.

Keep the faith

In every moment..

Let go of fear & worry.

Know you have the universe

Within, with & around you.

Living Meaningfully

The challenge…

Often relationships are exacting,

at times to the point of saturation.

The heart & mind battle

in contemplations of  resolutions.

The space…

For your own well being,

create a meaningful space around you.

The renewal…

Fill it with all that you want,

be it a hobby or passion.

Let it be something, that gives emotional comfort. 

And watch it awaken your inspiration.

Savvy

In reflection, here are three questions, for you.

In the battle of the heart & mind which one do you usually  tend to listen first?

When the outside world feels just a little too heavy, what gives you emotional comfort?

If you could carve an hour out of your week just for yourself, what passion would you fill it with?

The Gift Of Change

Here I share one of my own paintings and a personal  favorite fron my collection.
Savvy Raj

In the vortex of life

arrives the gift of changes;

the breaking of the bubbles,

Of long held beliefs,

Of false ego and resistance

Of fear that limits.

Like the wind that’s too fierce  to contain…

Cleaning the cobwebs of confusion.

And life transforms for the better.

All in time

Every thought has its own flow
Every word finds its own space
Every space has its own synchrony
Every sound its own frequency
Every element, its own energy
Lets enjoy the space between the steps.
And acknowledge the  harmony in the synergy…

All in time.
