Reminiscences

A street of yesterday
comes to mind
echoes of children’s laughter
Sipping on a juicy cola bar right out of school.

A fruit seller with ripe berries
outside the school
Children thronging around
buying berries from pocket money.
How inexpensive was the joys of then!
On the other end of the street
was their ever popular mango seller,
selling spicy salted raw mango slices,
all mouth watering delight of then.
And yes, the memories of the temple lane right across
lined with tiny flowers shops
Scents of fresh fragrance of flowers wafting in …
Reminiscences of life, so non-fussy & simple.

Fragile frames

I sense hope every time I see a fragile flower. Mistake not, the flower as fragile for in its blooming from a bud it has resilience  writ large in every petal .Projecting hope majestically it withstands  the day come rain or sun 

Every flower is a powerful yet graceful testament of hope & strength springing fresh from the earth.

Speaking of Power…

Power is often mistaken to be loud and aggressive,  but often it is the quiet, the silent rebellion that has the most effect. 

Mistake not the fragile as weak

For often, there is great strength

In those fragile frames.

Proving time and time again

It is not the weight you carry

But in how you carry & project it.

What do you think ?

10 thoughts on life

1) When the axe came to the forest, the trees said the handle was one of us. Until they felt its cuts:. BETRAYAL IS within.

2) When a kid grows up, a pencil is replaced by a pen just to make the kid realize that now it is not easy to erase the mistake.

3) One day, the ground we walk on will be our roof.

4) If loyalty was real, water is not supposed to cook the fish.

5) How I wish RIP means Return If Possible.

6) One sad truth about life is that you may not even be part of the future you’re stressed about.

7)The sheep lived all her life, fearing the wolf, but it was the shepherd that finally ate it.

8) When we were kids, we cried loudly to be noticed. But now we cry silently because we don’t want anyone to know.

9) Just because you’re a good person, doesn’t mean the world owes you kindness.

10) When the blind man sees, he throws away the stick that has been helping him for years.

Undeniable 10 life thoughts that I came across on social media I felt like sharing…

An autumn leaf

There is grace

In the falling leaf

There is a lesson too

No matter where  life takes you

No matter how life treats you

Dance with the wind

And float with grace

Taking life as it comes.

Bliss of Movements

Simply bringing the body into movement heals, empowers and brings positive changes in the body in time gradually … but most of all it brings on empathy and a divine connection to the living you and that’s the alluring magnetic charm of a body in blissful motion.

Map in my veins

The map in my veins

Lead to those unknown paths

Across the world

To places and spaces

I was  meant to go

To connect with those

I was to meet

Its all ordained  I can tell

Now as I look back

Each relevant to whole

Emerging & merging

In this story of life

The pen with words I weild now

Yields through as witness 

To learnings  and experiences

Leaving an imprint

In the footprints of time.

Waltz on water

Floating Dreams

I had this beautiful dream
Of flaming ruby red lights
Dancing on blue waves of water
Floating lanterns all afire
As the fire burns brighter
The flickering lights
Waltzing on water…

Touching time

Photo memories (from my travels)

Artists have a blessing

It’s in their ability to touch time

Past present or future

With their inspired creations

For art touches time

As much as the intangibles

Evoking nostalgia

Creating an intimate connection

That’s almost felt & sensed

Such is the power of art 

An evolved appreciation

Standing the test of time.

Allow and just be…

Allow yourself spirit to emanate joy

Allow the body to feel its contentment

Allow the self to embody peace

Allow the heart to open itself  to possibilities

Allow the self to move in space  and sense the freedom it offers.

Just  be and allow

Valley of Reactivity

Between & betwixt  spaces

Of pause and activity

 In the thinking and doing

Overcome the challenges

Of the conflicts of being.

Move on from valleys of reactions

From impulsive actions

That stems from assumptions

Reach out in responsiveness

Being positively intentional

Leading to clarity

In the deeper listening.

So much more…

Hopegiving & motivational words  that serve as a reminder to self.

Feel free to share with whomever you think needs it at this moment.

Let not the problems that come by boggle you .

Know time has all the answers

Keep the faith.

Let not the hear and say affect you.

There is always more than what is said or heard.

So much more.

Let not the passion for whatever you do dwindle

Rest & recharge yourself & keep  the spirit alive.

Let not the weight of what you carry pull you down.

You are definitely not defined by how much you bear.

You are much more than that.

So go ahead, aspire to transform  yourself  for the better

And keep moving closer to your dreams.

Taking a step in time.

And most importantly, trust in yourself

For there is always so much more

To you, for you  & by you.

Turning…

My painting interpretation  for today’s thoughts …

In this dance of life

Turn your doubts to decisions

Turn your worries to wins

Turn your pain to possibilities

Turn  your hurts to hope

All is a matter of a turn.

Smiles from the heart

Being a happy person

I have tided over

The challenges with a smile

Grateful for the dance in my life

I draw energy from movements

As they appear to move me

I unwind and unfurl

My hearts deepest feelings

In the flow of the moves

I sense the beauty of this now.

And I smile from the heart.

As it flows

It’s no surprise

Words flow as I write

As if awaiting me to simply begin

It’s a natural way

That I express my emotions

Through verses in the flow

All at once as if in a rush

In one sitting

And I don’t rearrange it

I chose not to change it

For it is my truth

As it came to me.

As it’s meant to be.

Poetry  is personal

Raw poetry is a piece of  ones soul

Too many edits to perfect it

And you have something

That somehow loses track

Of its own purpose.
