To be ok
You need to allow
Yourself to feel
And allow space
For yourself to heal.

Life is meant to thrive
As seasons change
And yesterday is behind us
And the day dawn once again
Let us celebrate life
In and around us
Respect the value of abundance
Let us share a moment
Of reverence for the blessings
Bestowed known & unknown
In each now then and onwards
Life is meant to thrive.

Grateful
Hiroyuki Sanada once said, “There are those who want a swimming pool in the house, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a deep sense of loss, while others who hold them close often complain about them. Those who do not have a partner yearn for him, but those who have, sometimes do not value him. The hungry would give anything for a plate of food, while the well-fed complains about the taste. The one who doesn’t have a car dreams, while the one who has one is always looking for a better one. The key is to be grateful, look carefully at what we have and understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what you already have and don’t appreciate.”
Life
Meet life with enthusiasm
Build cheer to cope with disappointment
Build resilience to face challenges
Build courage in the changes
And sense life in faith & humility
Namaste 🙏
Awareness of Oneness
Universal Oneness is an awareness
In reflections of the truth of the being
Interweaved and interconnected in every life .
Strength shines through the vulnerabilities.
As a power in the very fragility
Touched by divine grace
Enmeshed in the senses
Comes a consciousness of the flow
In and around us
Beyond the illusion of separation
Is the dance of connection.

A calmer perspective
I have received this poem below through a social media forward.
And I think I needed to read it today.
It put many things in perspective.
You see, there have been some small and inexpensive things missing at home . We have two house helpers And I was not sure who is the culprit.
They have been with us for a while and I have senior parents who live at home so I was letting it go and keep calm, because it was easier as it was causing a lot of unnecessary confusion and doubt.
In the meantime two months ago I replaced one of them. And I had felt a sense of relief somehow. And today the other is about to go on leave for the customary annual holiday. It will mean a lot of work for me personally until I find a helper. Yet I have been feeling positive that better is happening and all is for a good reason. Sometimes we grin and bear for the fear of changing statesquo…
While I cannot get my lost things as I have no proof, I think I needed a calm perspective to help me find me a way…
While I do believe that we must take action on that which is within our control , these words touched a chord in me..
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Rumi
On intentions
Are you feeling a sense of purpose
Are you keen on a purposeful life
Then question yourself
Are you effective?
If you value your life
And know you are not just born
There is always a path you can create
Towards actualizing your intention.
If you are effective in the way you choose to accomplish it
You can make the best of what God has gifted you .

Faith
Faith is freedom to be all you are. Faith is a connection with the divinity of life. A knowing that all is was and will be well.
Free your faith
Let it flow
Free in faith…
Shedding doubts
Seeding more faith
Freeing flow of life…

Miracle of Autumn
Miracle of autumn
Colours changing season
Rich burnt orange rust
Fill leaves of green as they fall
As if announcing arrival of fall
Signaling animals and birds
To prepare ahead of the cold
Of winters frost on the anvil
To brace the changing weather.
A season of love & embrace
Of long walks with loved ones.
Of long nights and shorter days
That heads through to winter.
Make the best of the changes.

What is something you love about nature?
The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?

New Age Of Wisdom
My good friend @Geoff Hudson Searle posed and shared an interesting question.’Are we entering a new age of Wisdom?
‘A new age of wisdom ‘ is a fascinating topic to ponder on…
Wisdom continues to evolve
As change is the only constant
Knowing is never enough
Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.
Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.
Speaking of AI, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.
Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.
The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.
What are your thoughts on this?
Circles of Compassion
A Painting by Savvy Raj
Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com
Compassion is a gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually embedded in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength. Therein lies the success of steering towards peace & humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.
Every compassionate thought that is then spread outwards, will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.
We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share, there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.
Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !
Shine on …

Kindred spirits
Pride makes us artificial
Humility makes us real
Thomas Merton
So a long long time ago when I started sharing my writing skills, I received a beautiful message from a reader, who also introduced Thomas Merton, the poet & monk to me. I was intrigued by his words. And went on to read more. For back then I didn’t know who Thomas Merton was and had never heard or come across his works.
This morning I came across the above quote, another gem of a quote from the mystical light of this soul…
There are some souls whose works strike a deep chord without ever meeting them… you sense a connection in their words..
I am grateful in all humility to have come across the profoundness of these kindred spirits. 🙏
Thrive
Thank the good
In the depths of darkness
Keep the faith on a new dawn
In the numerous wrongs
See the rights
Thank the good
Be grateful for it
Make it a practice of a life time
Know you’re in a better space.
