Meeting an old friend A kindered spirit Or a loved one …
The joy of uniting After being afar Speaks of interconnections… Where time and space Evaporates without a trace In the moments together.
Its often said Absence makes the heart Grow fonder… So is it the distance That makes reunion sweeter? Gibran wisely said… Let there be spaces In your togetherness
So whatever the relationship With another or with the self , the very act of reconnecting with an old hobby, that you were once passionate about, makes it truly memorable. For what is truly meaningful, is never lost … it’s simply awaiting a return.

PS: The word Retourvaille (often spelled Retrouvailles in French) is a beautiful, untranslatable French word that perfectly captures a specific, deeply felt human experience. Literally translated, it means “rediscovery” or “the finding of something again.”
An artist leaves much more than creativity in the artwork.
There is a voice in every frame, speaking deeply if you care to listen.
That voice carries the artist’s choices of color and composition, of style and strokes, of moods and feelings breathed into the birth of art.
The artist speaks through the work. The energy of the artist is embedded in words, in lines, in shapes and forms.
When a piece feels complete, the artist releases it to the world. And yet, the energy lives on, transforming itself through time and the spaces it inhabits.
Art is transformed again in translation and interpretation, reshaped by those who encounter it.
As creators, whether of images or words, our work continues to live, each viewer or reader sensing its energy uniquely. And so it flows… transforming itself in time.
When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?
What does calm feel like to you in this now?
What is the distance between you and your sense of calm?
Where & how do you think you can find your calm?
The morning moments
My morning moments have the preciousness of calm for me.I choose dawn to intend the calm for the day ahead. In the quiet moments of dawn where the world is still sleeping, I find my creative state of flow. Although I have been able to connect with my calm through the day, the vibes of this part of the day resonate so much. The early morning sets the tone of the day for me.
Every thought has its own flow Every word finds its own space Every space has its own synchrony Every sound its own frequency Every element, its own energy Lets enjoy the space between the steps. And acknowledge the harmony in the synergy…
This poem will resonate with those in strong relationships that stands the test of time and yet may find themselves challenged and at crossroads with differences in thoughts and opinions. Pretty much most who have experienced life together will find themselves in such predicaments time and time again.
In relationships when you are unable to see eye to eye, where past misses surfaces or future expectations sideline the precious present, perhaps this poem can be a reminder of how far you have traveled together to reach here.
All is not lost just yet… if you could only meet in the middle. For the strongest relationships survive in empathic understanding of each other through the thick & thin.
Meet me in the middle, With an open mind, Set aside differences, We’re the same kind…
Today we may be at crossroads looking with a different lens But our hearts beat as one Like it used to, years ago. The feelings just the same…
So dearest one, sense it all Memories are meant To be revisited in time. Think of how far we have come And meet me not in the past Nor in the the future But right here in the middle Of this present now.
The truth of love is acceptance… The kind that is unconditional. It asks not another To change and fit a mold, Nor expects you to compromise your values.
The truth of love is realization Of your heart’s expansion, And seeing the possibilities Amidst life’s myriad challenges.
The truth of love is freedom From control and suppression. True love breathes free And lives life lovingly.
In reflection… Ultimately, love is not a destination or a demand; it is a quiet, daily momentum. It is the conscious choice to move through a complex world and simply live life lovingly.
Love is not a bond that ties us down, but an expansion that sets us free…
If love is an expansion rather than a bond, what is one unspoken demand you can release today to let your relationships breathe freer?
The inspiration for these verses in flow arrived in the moment I started commenting on this interesting poem and its take on love.
You and I May never meet, But our thoughts Interweave through words.
We may have unique names, We may have different views, Yet our journey is entwined In the many paths home.
In every acknowledgment Of this great truth Of the interconnects We align with ourselves.
Along our unique way, The choice is ours To find ourselves In one another…
Living life lovingly.

A note in gratitude for beautiful response in a comment on Interwoven from a dear reader, that sparked my third poem in this series on the very essence of Oneness.
My first poem Interwoven spoke of the universal source (nature, sun, ocean).
The second Endless Beginnings spoke of the internal journey (storms, dust settling).
With this third poem, Oneness, I choose to honor the bridge between people who may have never met face to face, yet are sensing moments of oneness simply entwined through words & mutual recognition.
Thank you for reading and responding with such heartfulness… Across time and distances whenever we pause to acknowledge these interconnections, we not only find ourselves, but also send forth a ripple in the oneness.
The Sun emits rays, And it feels they are sent to Earth, But they remain part of the source.
A drop of the ocean Becomes rain, And merges back Into the ocean.
All shapes and forms Multiply and diminish, As part of the same source.
Every energy is as it is… Emerging and merging, In time and patience.
You and I are not different… We are part Of the same source.
All that is, Is one with the source.
In knowing that you and I Are part of this source, We enact the purpose Of our being in faith & trust…
Emerging and merging, Living life lovingly.

“If we are all beautifully interwoven with the same cosmic source, how can we step out into the world today and consciously choose to live life lovingly?
