Freedom to be…
Every life deserves the dignity of being
Freedom to be respected as they are ,
Freedom, to be valued and feel safe and secure, as every other human being .
Are you…
Free to express yourself as you are?
Free to share without fear?
Free to find yourself ?
Free to think for yourself?
Know then that the world needs
Your uniqueness as you are…
Now more than ever before!

I received this beautiful photo capture years ago, and I cherish it. Everytime I see it, it speaks to me.
A few musings…
There is a pool
I often sit by
with my thoughts
In fact all of me.
Its a pool that inspires
Creativity in collaboration
Its a pool that invites
Connections in association.
A pool of collectives
That move me beyond
The rut of mediocrity
To an all expansive space.
A pool of equanimity
That keeps me balanced
A pool centered inside
That aligns it all to the core.
A pool is an interesting place, as it is allowing yet contained.The circle of thoughts, in a pool allow space of contemplation.
Without the hurry and haste, to sense the moment as it is.
Every now and then choose to sit with/by your own pool of peace sensing the peace you already have.

Thought provoking
In a matter of scale
We are destroying nature
Than developing with nurture.
Global warming, melting ice
Depleting forest cover
Flood & earthquakes
All a sign of stark changes…
Yes our world is evolving
We are innovating, exploring
New frontiers in space
But how far have we really arrived?

To all the dancers and those who choose to waltz with life….
As dancers we are a lucky lot!
We are totally able to dance with time…
Move with it on time,
Or take the offbeat road to reverse and revel the joy of reflections in the rivers of time.

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.

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.

There are signs that seem to appear
Out of nowhere
That make us hope, have faith
That help retain our trust
That shows the way
In our darkest hours.
There is a communion
Of our senses with our soul
A beautiful serendipitous wave
That washes through us
To bring clarity along the way.
The truth is always with you…
Guiding us to believe
To see the bigger picture.
To know nothing is accidental
There is always something more.

Someone the other day asked me, are you a coffee or tea person.
I wonder…
All my life so far, have never been a coffee or tea person.
But of late I am sensing what a cup of steaming hot goodness can do for my spirit.
It’s not a tea or coffee that I want,
Its a cup of cheer, that soothes me and rejuvenates me .
Sure its not a habit so far , but it certainly good to pause every once in a while and take a sip and sense the world a little bit more in time.
My favorites …
I love the plain old ginger lemon & honey tea. Or even like a herb/ spice infused cinammon tea!
As for coffee very rarely, I enjoy the aroma of filtered South Indian coffee.
But the reason I drink a cup of goodness and what I would want most is…
Something that warms my heart
Something that sweetens my thoughts
Something that allows me to pause
To rest a while to gather my self.
What about you?
Are you a coffee or tea person?
Do you need it as your morning wake me up?
Do you have a craving for tea or coffee?
Do share if you are fond of coffee or tea & why?

What’s your daily routine like?
Do you have one, that you follow consistently or do you change yours with the flow?
How much of the routine is physical exercise and how much is mental work.
Do you try to balance the day with both?
What is your normal day like?
1.Active and hectic with no time to relax.
2.Sedentary and serene but may be too lonely.
3.Eractic
4.Planned

Your behavior is yours to own.
Show up for yourself
Choose to be the best you can!
Choose to leave a heart print of hope
Whenever you can
Wherever you are.
The world will thank your being.
For thats what the world needs most.

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.

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 ′′
