Where light shines forth
There is always a crack
That has given way
An opening that allows…
Light to shine through.
From darkness of night
Emerges a new dawn
In hope and deliverance.
With potential & possibilities.
Sense the cracking of dawn.

We are whole and complete
As ourselves in every cell of being
Yet we need each other
To live with and help arrive
To the best of ones potential.
We thrive as social beings
Feeding on each òthers energy
And exploring synergies
For each of us …
Are not just a life
Existing in this world
We are the uni verse by ourselves.

Life and Living soulful stories share that come my way…
John D Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.
By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.
But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.
As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realisation of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.
He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller
established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the discovery of penicillin, cures for malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria.But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his
body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98. Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.
Before his death, he wrote this in his dairy, “The Supreme Energy taught me, that everything belongs to Him and I am only a channel to comply his wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play I dropped the worry on the way and God was
good to me every day.”
A profound message in those words.
Whenever and wherever there is hope, faith and love… miracles happen.
In living life’s every moment
As if it’s a miracle in itself
Either there is a miracle for you
Waiting to happen
Or you are the miracle for another
Waiting to unfold
Both are inspiration for one or the other
For out of difficulties
Miracles are born!

Sharing musings from my mother..
Life moves on
In carefreeness
In dreaming.
In reality.
In sensibility.
In witnessing.
Each phase like
the changing face
moves on
teaching new lessons
To adjust
To accommodate
To analyse
To be detached
To let go
The most valuable lesson
‘To be in the Now.’
Live every moment
As it never come twice
Never contemplating,
Never anticipating.
Valuing the PRESENT
As a precious Present.
Live the NOW
With joy and peace
As they are not
From outsourcing.
For they are in me
Never let the transcient changes affect,
Like water bubbles,
they come and go.
Like passing clouds
They disperse.
With compassion in heart,
With awareness in mind,
With realisation in soul
Be in the Now.
Be in Bliss.

The way we feel has much to do with the way we think
The way we think has much to do with the way we behave
The way we behave has much to do with our notions assumptions and perceptions.
And the way we are perceived has much to do with the way we carry ourselves.
Our personality & attitude is our projection of our personas
Our nature is interweaved with the emotional state of being .
In acknowledging this…
Our life’s journey evolves in awareness.
What we say to ourselves
Is immensely impactful!
Lets understand the power
Within each of us.
Let’s review our internal dialogues…
When you are about to say
‘ Let me give up’
Change it to
Let me try again
When you think
I am not enough
Can you say
I am capable as I am.
When you fear failure
Can you learn from failure
And emerge stronger from the experience
Life truly has many possibilities
For those who care to see
And acknowledge life’s lessons.
Savvy
Just be…
Witness the wisdom
In the stillness
Beneath the din
In the silence
Betwixt the sound
In the spaces
Between the moves
Just be

Truths of life & living…
Take stock of strengths
Work in sustainable ways
Take stock of your weaknesses
And work to minimize them.
Acknowledge opportunities
And remember to be quick to respond
Watch out for threats
At every turn tread cautiously.
But above this all, focus
Where you know improvements are needed.
Keep this practise consistent…
And watch life turn around for you

Exactly eight years ago!
With love from Athens Greece … 🙂 At the World Dance Research Congress Greece UNESCO as a representative member from India 🙂
An example of Unity in Diversity…. Approximately 400 conferees from 40 countries of the 5 continents.!
Today in India, so glad to write this, the dance community that represents India internationally has grown from strength to strength … yet ‘Spot me’ if you can … I was the only woman representative from India at that time.
An amalgamation of such an association and the resulting experiences leaves one enriched for a life time. The practice resulting thereof in pursuit of excellence becomes important. In the awareness of the possibilities in dance applications on the human psyche and form, the responsibility of making a positive difference in your purpose is strengthened.
Power to more such immersive and experiential collaborations in the art of dance movements across the world. 🙏

This is a different kind of post.
Have been writing and sharing my thoughts and reflections here on WordPress for many years now. Many of you have been with me in this journey off and on and some of you consistently so… and for both I am full of gratitude.
Through these poems and prose my life’s experiences and explorations have often been my muse in the musings.
Just wondering out loud how am I perceived through these words. And what do you sense of me intuitively?
Would you care to share?
It’s simply a self exploratory share to learn and understand some more and I sincerely hope to hear from you.
In return I too will try my best to share my understanding of you through your posts.
Could I know through this post how do you perceive me?
Who am I ?

If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

A child can teach us to love life
A child can remind us to be present in this now.
Nurturing a child is a learning
In resilience and responsibility.
Of our strengths & vulnerability.
Children are our teachers of tommorow.

Cage not the heart
Of those who dream of the yonder.
Beyond the clouds, over the hills
Their spirit seeks to wander.
Far across the horizon, their soul belongs!
Cage not the soul
Nor the spirit of life
For it is free from form,
Travelling across time.
Sensing freedom
In every now
Is the way of the spirit
And the wandering soul.
