Hope is here to stay

Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope. 

Do share your thoughts on it.

“Her eyes wander to find him

Amongst a sea of faces

Knowing he is there somewhere

Hope is here to stay “

The first love

She was a teenager  in love

For the very first time

She felt the joy

To express with all her heart

The joy of being with another

Two hearts  so full of love

In a world all their own.

He wrote her poems

And read each one out loud

It was an idyllic love

Too good to be true

And in time life happened

And they parted ways

But the feelings still the same 

Etched in memories

And never forgotten

No matter the ravages of time. 

Yet life never stops for any one.

Life brings in beautiful moments

That makes life worth living 

People come people go

But memories, last at eternity…

The Mother

She is old and wrinkled

Yet oft her memories rush

To that fateful day

When a trip to the beach

With friends and family

Changed her life forever.

For as the sun set on that day

In that crowded beach 

She lost her only son

And the meaning to live on.

And to this day,  in every crowd

Her eyes look out

Searching for her little son 

In a sea of faces

No matter the river of time …

Life has its own challenges

For every life in the living

But hope is unending

For hope is here to stay.

Grace of the Sun

This morning I witnessed
A glorious vision awaiting me…

The ‘Rays of the Sun’
Sharing light, hope
And blessings through the trees
Energizing the spaces
In and around me…

Such a picture perfect moment.
While sensing the Grace of the Sun.

Uniquely you

Any creative enterprise

That makes you move

One step closer to your being

Tapping into infinte possibilities

Of your innate potential

Is a dance of your uniqueness

Remember this as you dare

To  create something

From known to the unknown

And making something new.

View from the top

How different is the view

From every angle in sight?

What makes it so stark in contrast

And so varied in interpretation?

How the colours of life change?

How easy it is to believe,

What you see as the truth,

That nothing else could be reality?

What you see from the mountain

Is different from the plain.

The eyes are the same.

But the perception is different.

New Age Of Wisdom

My good friend @Geoff  Hudson Searle posed and shared an interesting  question.’Are we entering  a new age of Wisdom?

‘A new age of wisdom ‘ is a fascinating topic to ponder on…

Wisdom continues to evolve

As change is the only constant

Knowing is never enough

Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.

Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.

Speaking of AI, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.

Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.

The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.

What are your thoughts on this?

Daring the unknown

Our conditioning has a role to play in the way we see people and things around us. To trust is to dare into the unknown.

Just read this interesting article …

19 professionals walk through unknown villages for 3 days — without a single rupee | Pune News – The Indian Express

https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/19-professions-walk-through-unknown-villages-for-3-days-without-a-single-rupee-9583205/

Amazing to read about these Braveheart  who dared to experience  first hand  self-belief beyond fear…and who came back enriched with experiences.

Touching to read  about the kindhearted  people who came their way like saviours.

Pretty sure  they may all have had some life altering experiences in one way or another.

Against all odds

Breaking the rut of routine

In forging new pathways

Beyond fear for survival

All preconceived notions fall

In the dare into  the unknown.

Kindred spirits

Pride makes us artificial

Humility makes us real

Thomas Merton

So a long long time ago when I started sharing my writing skills, I received a beautiful message from a reader, who also introduced Thomas Merton, the poet & monk to me. I was intrigued by his words. And went on to read more. For back then I didn’t know  who Thomas Merton was and had never heard or come across his works.

This morning I came across  the above quote, another gem of a quote from the mystical light of this soul…

There are some souls whose works strike a deep chord without ever meeting them… you sense a connection in their words..

I am grateful in all humility to have come across the profoundness of these kindred spirits. 🙏

Travel On…

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.

Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he  has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.

While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.

Thought of sharing my verses  again.

Travel On

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 …

Way of Love

It’s the way of love, to accept and allow
It’s the way of love, to empower with hope
It’s the way of love, to sense the light of life.
It’s the way of love, to share from the heart.

For love is the gift of life.
And it’s the way of love, to be filled with gratitude.

Pave the way

Water your strengths

Let it grow in nurture

Weed your weakness

Let it go from your nature.

Focus on the good you have

Pave the way for the positives

You will find you true purpose

In the journey of life.

Forest creators

When there is authentic effort

When the intentions are expansive

And the purpose stronger together

In the journey of life

Dreams take roots to realize itself.

Seeds to trees

Trees to forest

Barren lands turn fertile greens

Salute to this inspiring couple who created a forest out of barren land.

Together they have planted more than 2000 trees… Do read more…

Life is what you make of it!

The very fact you are reading this

May change your perspective

All of what you interact or sense

Shifts and alters meanings.

You, as a reader & observer

Have the power in you.

You, matter to the whole

What matters to you

Matters to the whole.

Create a beautiful you,

You create a beautiful whole…

Here is why…

The core of particle physics

The truths of sacred geometry

The essence of prayer

The  logics of yogic systems

The dynamics of integration

The beliefs of ancient wisdom.

The cosmic interconnects

Creation to destruction

Birth to regeneration

Order to disorder

Chaos to resurrection

Stillness & movements

Balance & harmony

Time , space & distance

All is a matter of energy.

The observer effects the observed.

All of life, the sun & the stars

The universe you are in

You are because they are

They are because you are.

Understand as an observer

You are playing a part

What you do with it

Is a choice in free will

The choice is with you.

You

No one but you

Knows your true self

Empower your self

Create your life

Being yourself.

Be kinder, be connected

With yourself.

Allow to express your self.

Your truths in your voice

Makes you feel heard

Your voice with your words

Makes you understand

You are more than enough

To sense the light in you

Find out for yourself

With all of you

Who you truly are.
