This one is a micropoem that sparked from the words… Where light shines’.
When you turn your face
Towards the sun…
Where does the shadow fall?
Where does light shine?
Shine on …

Blooms of peace
Today my mornings photography muse is this beautiful white hibiscus tenderly unfurling itself in the green foliage..I simply had to click a picture…
There is so much peace
That a white blossom emits
A sense of spirituality
Pervades in its unfurled petals
A guest for just a single day
Who better than this bloom
Gracing my garden today
To teach the truths of life.
Of living life lovingly
Garnering the wisdom of changes
Of impermenance
Its petals. proud & present
In this precious now.
Without worries of tommorow
So much dignity in its beauty.
Perhaps it understands
Transience of nature
In the phases of life
Only too well
While it blooms in peace.

Strength of tenderness
Being tender in the toughest of times
Being gentle and generous with the self
In times of chaos and conflicts
In and around us
Is the way of weathering-the-storms.
Being caring and compassionate
In thoughts words and deeds.
With empathy that empowers
In light and goodwill.
Is the way of gentle heart
Flowing in loving kindness.
Spirit of Humans
Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world
Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles
For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…
For others it may be personal
And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.
Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.

Wind on sand
Wind on the sand
Gathering gently
Singing sweetly…
Whistling winds…
Humming & howling
Desert dunes
Deep drones
Shifting sands
Slumping steep
Silver on silver
Gold on gold.

Prayer
Turning inwards
From illusions to clarity
Lighting the lamp within
Awakening in awareness
To the timeless truth
Essence of consciousness.
A prayer integrating the body mind & spirit . 🙏

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.

Love & Peace
As you go through daily life.
Just care to remind yourself
That you are being watched over
And cared for…
This simple habit will bring you immense peace.
And you will transmit universal love.
Peace be with you.
