Infinite possibilities
Serenading my senses…
It’s early evening
The sunlight is still filtering in
I sit back, after a walk.
It feels like a balmy dusk
Watching dappled rain drops
Falling on verdant leaves 🍃
Petrichor fills the air
Rising from the earth
Sensing the glimmers of this now.
Serenading my senses, in serendipity…

Preciousness Of Now
What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?
It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.
Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self
And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.
On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️
#Life Life Lovingly ❤️
This post actually was inspired by a comment from my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.
Her comment made me stop and think of how much even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.
Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

Dawn paints the day
An interesting dawn
I woke up earlier than dawn today.
And positioned myself in my favorite space
To watch the glorious dawn
Before I could realise
A bright orange ball
Just popped up over the horizon…
It was as if the sun was in a hurry
To awaken the world & light the day.
As I just began to ease into the brilliance …
I saw the corner of the sun
Disappearing into the blanket of clouds
Looming large, to dull the senses once more…
The light is hidden now
From plain sight.
Do know the sun is up
There may be a lull in the now
But darkness is a passing cloud
Think of it, as moments to pause
In patience for light is on the other side
Awaiting its turn to light up your day.
And yes, before I could pen these words here…
The light of dawn paints the day.

Way Of Peace
The way of peace is not in war & conflicts
The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.
And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.
We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.
Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.
Make the way of peace
A way of life.

Birthing in the now
Your birth is not the only time you are born
You are born in every moment of awareness
You are born in every conscious breath.
You are born in the pain and the pleasures of living life.
You are born in every deed of compassion & kindness.
You are born in the joy of both inclusion and expansion.
You are born in the moments of heartfelt connections.
The truth is you can birth yourself in every now.
Align your breath with presence.

One Good Word
One Good Word…
As readers and writers, we experience a dual bliss: the joy of discovering writing that deeply resonates, and the quiet fulfillment of reflecting on our own words and the connections they create.
It is a beautiful thing to share our creative gifts with the world. Yet, what is most profound is the heart of the person…reader or writer, alike who takes the moment to offer a word of kindness or appreciation. A single good word has the power to change someone’s day for the better.
Expression is a gentle pathway to healing. Whether it is a pen dancing across paper, a brush gliding with color, or feet tracing patterns upon the earth, the joy of movement is our shared thread.
Reaching out from within ourselves to share is not always easy, even if deeply fulfilling. It demands our energy, our time, and our vulnerable spirit. Yet to withhold our voices or suppress these expressions would be a tragic loss indeed.
It is truly inspiring to read, to write, and to honor the transformative power of words in all their creative manifestations.
What is one “good word” or simple phrase someone once shared with you that stayed in your heart when you needed it most?
When friends are blessings…
True friends trust
In each other
They find comfort
And care to share & listen
The truth of what it is
Without fear or favour
For they know the value
Of authentic advice
Without frills and fancies
Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.
True friends matter
To each and everv one of us
We are better because of them
In trust, love, care & faith
Count the blessings
Of true friends in this now.
How many such true friends can one count in life?
Only yesterday I witnessed a friendship that stood the test of time and renewed itself in faith & trust.
I thought to myself how important it is to acknowledge the preciousness of true friends as much as to become a true friend that one can count on.

Rhythm Within
What is dancing to you ?
A series of steps
Or a conversation
Without words?
Dance is a connection
To the rhythm within
That moves you
To find yourself.
In dance is the magic
Of tuning into harmony.
Whatever the form
Dance moves you
Heart & soul
To your truth .

The Power of Faith
Awareness that you are searching for…the deliverance from all the so called inflictions and challenging circumstances you are experiencing…
Its all in the Space that you occupy. If the Earth element catches fire, its remains become ash. If water engulfs earth everything decays.
The more you resist and pull the greater is the entanglement.
True liberation is from the clutches of ego in ignorance.
What does it take to the awareness of letting go completely? The ability to see beyond the temporary illusions of attachment takes profound faith.
For faith is all there is.Without it nothing is.
Interestingly I wrote this contemplation while reading ‘Gajendra Moksham story & Stotram .
Here is the story below
Gajendra Moksham is one of most spiritually significant stories in the Srimad Bhagavatam A story of divine intervention and total surrender.
The story is set in Mount Trikuta, where Gajendra, the majestic king of the elephant herd went to drink water from the lake and pick up the lotus for worship. There Makara a powerful crocodile clasped his leg… it’s said for 1000 years a fierce tug of war ensued . Inspite of Gajendras strength as he was in the water which was the crocodiles element he began to lose his strength.
The Realization
While family and friends tried their best to help in time they too couldn’t release him . As he grew exhausted trying Gajendra realised that his physical might nor his kin could save him.
And then in total surrender in faith he lifted a lotus flower towards heaven and offered a soul stirring prayer to God Vishnu. But instead of asking for life he asked for ultimate liberation from the clutches of ignorance.
God Vishnu hears sincere plea and with his (divine discus) Sudarshana Chakra swiftly severes the crocodiles head and pulls Gajendra to safety and grants him Moksha (salvation)
This is a story of complete trust in the power of faith and divine grace.
Ocean of Abundance
Think of grace
As in everything
In life and living
Ask for blessings
In health & prosperity
In this now & future
Invoke the divine
Who holds it all
In an ocean of abundance
With all your heart
In supreme trust.
In the letting go
You step out of your own way
And let the abundance in
For grace is infinite
And the ocean of abundance
Is all heart.

Inside outside
Peace within
Peace outside
Is the ideal to thrive on
To sense peace
Inside outside
Is always a work in progress.
In caring to choose thoughts well
Action emnating in goodwill
Changes the narrative
From doubts to clarity.
Let peace reign
Inside outside
