Often the difference
Between mediocrity
And excellence
Is in the ability
In reaching beyond
To go the extra mile
For a cause, a passion
In dedicated perseverance
Towards a larger purpose
That is where life feels most alive.

Your life your choice.
Life is awaiting your awareness
To realize the power of your potential.
Its all in the way you choose to live.
To let go & dare to dance the skies
To take the chance on the rapids
To walk along witnessing the flow
To sit by the shores sensing it all…
The choice rests with you…
Every moment is what you make of it
Your life your way!

Traveling along…
Sharing a story that came my way on Social Media.
I am Travelling with you !
Every year Parents took their son to his Grandmother’s House for the Summer Break, and they would return Home in train after Two Weeks.
One Day the Boy tells
his Parents:
′′ I’m Grown Up now,
What if I go to Grandma’s House alone this Year ???”
After a Brief Discussion
Parents agree.
They were standing on the Railway Station, seeing him off,
Giving him Last Instruction through the Window,
As Boy continues to repeat:
′′ I know, you’ve already told me so many times…!”
Train is about to leave and Father whispers:
′ My Son,
If you suddenly feel Bad or Scared, this is for you !…… ′
And he slips something into his Pocket.
Now the Boy was all alone, sitting on the Train, without his Parents,
for the First Time…
He looks at the Scenery through the Window.
Around him Strangers Hustle, make Noise, Enter and Exit
the Compartment,
He gets that Feeling that he was alone..
A person even gives him a
Scary look…
The Boy felt uncomfortable…
And now he was frightened also.
He lowered his head, snuggled in a corner of the Seat,
tears rose to his Eyes.
At that Point he remembered his Father putting something in his pocket.
With a trembling hand he groped this piece of paper, and he opened it,
Son, “Don’t Worry,”
I am in the Next Compartment…
*Truth* :
This is How it is in Life…
When God has sent us in this World, all by ourselves,
HE has also slipped a note in our pocket,
*God Says:*
I am Travelling with you,
I am within your reach !
Call on Me…❗

One World
The world is beyond what we assume
There are no labels on earth
There are no maps drawn
All that we believe is what we have created for ourselves
We may have different names
We may create different countries
We may call ourselves citizens of one land
But earth knows or cares not of your distinctions of race gender or creed
It knows not rich or poor
Nature knows not class or caste
Wonder what are we so set about ?
What makes us so full of opinions?
In fact if we only could see and a acknowledge
The earth in all its beauty
There are different seasons in different places
Yet our world is not about differences
For under the sky and sun
We are one, life is vulnerable and beautiful in all its unique ways.
When we care to see diversity as a strength
We would be more caring of our mother earth.
And we would see our earth as one and only world we have.

Light reflects light
Every moment that we choose to shine as bright as we can,
We begin to sense the lightness in the being.
In sensing the blessings of light
Light reflects Light!

Finding the good…
These are certainly abilities worth cultivating :))
Ability to see the good is a great habit to cultivate
Ability to respect the people for who they are.
Ability to work with diversity of thoughts
Ability to coexist in peace and harmony.
Ability to generate goodwill whenever we can.
Ability to make light of things
Ability to dance in the rain
As much as in the lightness of being.

Listen to the intuitive
The meditative, contemplative
The reflective & the restorative voices
There is a connective wisdom
In the sounds of silence
Emanating from you.
It is your precious inner self
Expressing itself.
Be mindful and attentive
Listen if you can,
Every once in a while.”
Embody the peace within.

Spill Art
Very interesting perspectives…
I wonder what makes the mind want to take a spill to art.
What evokes the heart to charge the creator with imagination and energy…
To be able to create such artful associations.
Some learnings from a Spill
To turnover a spill to evolve for better
If a child has spilled a cup of milk accidentally….
To keep calm and address the lesson in the spill like carefulness, steadiness, patience, thoroughness, cleanliness and most of all mindfulness.
What’s is spilled, is spilled already…. what matters is what we do about it.
Savvy
As a child when my daughter dropped a glass of water, spilled milk on the floor accidentally, without getting angry admonishing, I have used it as moments to convey such lessons… so much so that it made her understand the value being in the moment while doing anything.
Great lessons can be taught in such moments and vulnerability can become a strength in time.
Similarly one can intend
To create hope in a spill…
To sense a pattern of possibilities in a spill
To use a spillover to change mindsets
To challenge the statuesque through a spill.
To evoke creativity and art…
To test skillsets learned from a spill
To create art in revisiting patterns & perspective
To spill some more and align the pattern formations.
To move beyond the evident spillover…
To envision hope beyond the accidental spill
To accentuate the spill artfully
To create masterpieces from the potential in a spillover…
To understand there is always a reason why and the learnings to come.
To empathize with the spillings across the learning curve
So the very act of overflow or spill
Or a cup that runneth over
Can be a turning point in itself
With the many lessons to learn.
The choice rests with us.

This post is a spillover effect from an earlier share by my good friend Ali Anani, PhD.
Patterns Of Perception
A dear friend shared an overflowing cup of inspiration my way and asked me to share a few thoughts.
Here are my reflections in a flow…
Patterns of perception.
Making sense of sensibility
Emoting in the experiences
Of life and living.
The cup of the heart pours…
Flowing through it reaches
The centers of cognition
And the mind begins thinking.
The cup of mind assimilates.
Gathering insights and ideas
Creating patterns of perception
Everything that is, is not all.
In all that it appears to be
There is always more
For infinite are the possibilities
In every moment of perception.

The Suitcase
The Suitcase
A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
– God said: Alright son its time to go.
– surprised the man responded: Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans…
– I’m sorry but its time to go.
– What do you have in that suitcase? the man asked.
– God answered: Your belongings.
– My belongings? you mean my things, my clothes, my money?
-God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.
– Is it my memories? the man asked.
-God answered: those never belonged to you they belonged to Time
– Is it my talents?
-God answered: those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.
– Is it my friends and family?
-God answered: I’m sorry they were never yours they belonged to the path.
– Is it my wife and son?
– God answered: They were never yours the belonged to your heart.
– Is it my body?
– God answered: that was never yours it belonged to the dust.
-Is it my soul?
God answered: No that is mine.
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find out the suitcase was empty.
– With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything???
-God answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were only yours. Life is just a moment. a moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy this time while you have it. Don’t let anything that you think you own stop you from doing so.
-Live Now
-Live your life
– Don’t forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters.
– Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
-YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING
Received this thoughtful share on social media with these words…
Share this reflection with anyone you love or appreciate. Enjoy every second you live.
A day of silence
~ Silence ~
A day of Silence
Can be a pilgrimage in itself.
A day of Silence
Can help you listen
To the Soul play
In marvelous lute and drum.
Is not most talking
A crazed defense of a crumbling fort?
I thought we came here
To surrender in Silence,
To yield to Light and Happiness,
To Dance within
In celebration of Love’s Victory!
~ Hafiz ~
Be silent and sense the stillness
A million moves may be more
Are manifesting in this now
Hear the music unfold its rhthym
Be still and sense the moves
For stillness is full of movements
In the depth of Silence
We witness the dance within.
