It’s wonderful and easy
When life is a breeze
But the test is when
It’s a little stormy…
Life is a gift
Any which way
The trick is to see
The many blessings
That at times goes unnoticed.
Live life lovingly!

The light shines bright
You are a manifestation
Of infinite potential.
Every cell of your being
Resonates in the energy
Of your unique being
In the way, you live
And lead your life.
Your inner light glows
In patience and understanding
Stay empathetic to yourself
Allow yourself to feel content
To be thankful for all that is
Cultivate gratitude for life
In this living you.
As your awareness evolves
You experience the light that you are.
Keep your inner light shining bright.

Envisioning Grace
Visions from the sky!
In these following verses, I recount the visions from the sky that I enjoyed a few months ago before all the chaos, in deep gratitude for the beauty of nature… Across lands divided by human maps, what emerged significantly was how the scenery in spite of its individual attributes, flowed merging seamlessly into one another in harmony… Amazing nature amazing grace… I couldn’t help but waltz along.🙂
I see her splendid beauty
Crystalize itself in front of my eyes.
Mountain tops bejeweled with ice
I watch her dancing
In the fluidity of the flow
Rivers shimmering in the rays of the sun
I waltzed along with her through the horizon
As the plane paddled alongside fluffs of white clouds.
Green pastures and plains
Gave way to rocky mountains
Folds over the hills stretching on
As long as the eye could fathom
A vision to behold
And time after time
The Sun would play hide and seek
Dancing cheek to cheek with the clouds
It was pure fascination
As I watched it all from up above
Magical majestic mystical mother
You are alluring and awe-inspiring in every way
Your beauty blows my mind
And captures my senses
Graceful God, I bow to thee!

Find peace within
Yesterday was my mother’s birthday. And I came across this reflection of hers by chance and started reading it, Although she is living far away in another city, I deeply connected with her in every moment as I was reading this. Wishing her a beautiful blessed day!
Finding peace
Happiness is an abstract state which gives us high,
makes us feel positive about everything,
makes us forgive peoples faults, brings a smile in our face n laughter in our mind,
gives us strength,
brings love to our heart,
makes our surroundings beautiful, makes life worth living,
radiates our being irrespective of the outside effects.
Happiness is the real state we are born with. That is our real form, shrouded by the clouds of acquired and induced qualities as we walk along this long path of life. In due course, it gets overshadowed by outside influences that we forget how to be really happy. We start seeking happiness from outside sources forgetting our own storehouse inside us.
Thus starts our dependence. Whether material, emotional, physical, or spiritual, for everything we start seeking help from other people or substances which gradually grow from need-based to the necessity which we cannot live without. In the long run, the very source we think gives us happiness adds nothing but misery. The more u seek outside the more ur inner light dims.
How to come out of this self-induced predicament. Really very hard as the acquired dirt must have become layers of solid sediments. A little Viveka n Vairagya are the tools God has provided us with, to unearth the hidden treasure, of Happiness Within.
Viveka means right understanding, discriminating knowledge n true wisdom.
Vairagya means detachment, dispassion, maintaining a state of mental equilibrium.
Developing both these qualities help us to be in a peaceful happy state irrespective of outer influences knowing their transient nature. The more we delve in these, the nearer we go to our inner self which is the abode of ultimate BLISS.
The ever-changing face of the sky
The dancing flames of the fire,
The soothing flow of the air,
The flowing waves of the water,
The surface of Mother Earth
All just set to put in our mind the transience of Nature.
The rising and setting of the Sun,
The waning and waxing of the
Moon,
The revolution and rotation of the earth,
The cycle of the changing seasons
Just to remind us nothing is forever to stay.
The karmic cycle of birth and death,
The changing phases of lives,
The changing moods of the mind,
The swaying patterns of wealth
Aren’t enough to teach the human mind equanimity and humility?
How many more lessons does one need?
Anjana.
This piece ‘ Finding Peace’ resonates deeply. Especially so in these chaotic times.

Beyond the Illusions
What is, may not be
What you see, can be an illusion
The truth may be far from it.
All that you see, is not all.
What is all, is not what you see
Illusions of your mind can play tricks.
Beyond your preconceived beliefs
And judgments of perception.
There is a lot more than what we are
Our vision can play tricks.
So watch what you see, up close
And perhaps, you will see more…

Paving the way for Oneness
I am saddened when I come across the mention of race by color. I am saddened that still people are called black or white or brown or yellow.
We are called out for the shades of our skin, when the truth is, we are so much more. We cannot be confined or defined by narrow eyes.
The fact is, people, see colors differently, and they may not see all the same colors while seeing the same things. There is research on how our individual brains react differently to different wavelengths of light.
Technically speaking the colors we see is an illusion created by our brain. We are not yet certain exactly how animals see perceive us and in which colors.
Why then this prejudice in words to describe life.
Humanity knows no color or creed.
Why are we still resorting to identify people into boxes, giving way to mental pictures, and conformity?
We are capable of liberating ourselves to see the bigger picture.
A dance article recently published an article that sends out a message of how Misty Copeland is a black dancer who succeeds.
Yes, we have an unequal world filled with all the ‘isms’ and the issues they bring along. It is unfair and discriminatory and biased in so many ways. Not just in race, but in species, gender, age, weight, height, class, creed, caste, religion, status, authority, education, power, and wealth.
Yet the inner light of the being surmountable all odds. And life shines through the heart of the movements.
The world must come together, as it is time to release these frames of false convictions and find in itself the ability and strength to support one another in the power of life that’s beating within us all.
Let us see beauty and talent in all colors and not attribute efforts and success to any color by birth.
When we remove reference of being a particular color we bring to light the truth of the soul and the spirit of freedom to be.
In that light, everything is illustrated in the illumination from within.

Shadows shimmer too!
Trust light to shine itself
Trust the shadows to find light
All is not dark forever
For light shimmers on shadows
What’s hidden uncovers itself
At some point or the other
Trust in time
Develop patience
Patterns are meant to shape
And change itself along the way
What shines has shadows
And shadows shimmer too!
Keep the faith
Shadows will find the light
All is meant to be well and bright.

There is…
Who says the page is empty?
There is poetry that is waiting to emerge
Who says the mind is blank?
There are surging thoughts full of potential.
Who says there is stillness in the silence
Stillness is overflowing with movements.
Who says the night is dark
There is light awaiting dawn!
A blank canvas is full of possibilities
Of creativity in all its flourishes in the flow.
There is the color of hope
There are patterns arising in perspectives.
There is forming and shaping of things to come
There is composition awaiting the sensing
All it needs is your faith in the envisioning.
For faith is all there is
In faith there is everything!

A Beautiful Blessed Day!
Every morning is a proof
Of another shift in her axis
By our mother earth.
We are wiser by a day
After each and every night
To emerge anew at dawn.
Let our dawn spring forth in freshness
Of our spirit for living life well.
Let us discard the spurious.
Let us work with empathy for nature
Respectful of their presence in our lives.
For we are made of the very elements of nature.
Nature is in each of us.
Earth wind fire and water and space…
We are a force of nature.
Let us move with care
Let us proceed with dignity
And never take ourselves for granted.
Let us recognize the infinite intelligence
Bestowed in our being by nature
Let us be the best expression of our being.
As we move closer to our authenticity.
We will resonate to the truth of our life .
We will move closer to the purpose of being.
A beautiful blessed day to you all!

On Happiness
A beautifully expressed sentiment.
Happiness is hard to find if you go searching but if you choose to create a moment of happiness for one another you have made the moment happy.
Keep sharing & spreading happiness
Keep sensing the happiness in you.

Your Three Words
Your Three Words…
These last 3 days of sharing my artworks has been quite an enjoyable experience. It has opened up new vistas of thoughts in envisioning.
My Painting on Day 3 was titled :
The Spirit of Dance
Many of your Word interpretations were quite in synch with it.
Wanted to reflect the simple joy of dance movements in the freedom of being, each as unique as the dancer.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading and responding to each of your creative responses for all three of my artworks.🙏🏼
All of your words are truly incredible and so very imaginative.
Thank you so much for joining in this little experiment in creativity.
Hope to share more of my works and continue this series in the future.
Speaking about my artworks that I posted…
All these Artworks are my paintings from back in time that I happened to chance upon again. I wanted to see if they still meant the same to me in time. I then thought of sharing it in a post the way I did, just for the little collaborative creativity and joy in the sharing.
The multitude of meanings in it, for each of you and the interpretations put forth in the responses were truly each a journey in itself.
In these times of lockdowns the world has had time to pause and reflect and has perhaps chosen to engage with varied creative enrichments in much deeper and fulfilling ways.
Do let me know if you enjoyed playing along these last three days as much as I did.😇
Thank you all again for traveling alongside with me and my artworks for the last three days, as we mutually forged new paths of perceptions in the perspectives. 🙏🏼

Dance to life!
This beautiful bloom blossoms ever so gently in a timelapse.
Watch this delicate dance with life!
“Be the brave heart
that learns to dance to life.
Dream on and take the chances.
And let your soul live this dance of life.”

Yet!
Yet!
Yet to learn
Some more
Yet to arrive
Somewhere
Yet to evolve
To be all that one can be!
Let’s choose to feel its, yet to ….
To keep the ego at bay
For life is a journey
In the learnings
For a lifetime.
And the spirit of the soul
Is on an eternal quest
Yet to find its salvation.
Savvy
Live life lovingly!
With these words I wrote today, I simply shaped them to depict life and its various transitions in creation to sublimation…
Birthing of creation
Growing in the learnings
Reaching the heights of accomplishment
Learning to grow in grace
Acceptance of inevitable
Sharing in the evolving
Retiring Gracefully
Resting & regenerating.
Such is the unending cycle
A circle of life!
With an idea to encapsulate life in its expansions and contractions and so on…
All is a flow in the circle of life.
Life goes on!

The future in our hands
This precious life that lives in you
Holds the key to the future
The precious things you will do today
Paves the path for tommorow
Precious thoughts we carry today
Will take us where we believe we are.
Hands heart and head will move as one
In hope and love our life will evolve.
Precious words that you speak today
Gladdens the heart for the future.
The future is truly in our hands today!
