Sensing Life
Sensing Life
Is a beautiful blessing or a beast of burden
It is sensed differently by each of us
For it challenges the best of us
Bringing out the best and worst in us.
Yet life is a journey that much be lived
To make sense of it, in every moment.
You cannot know of life without living it
Every now is a journey of sensing it.

Roots
To root is a sense of steadiness
Than simply belonging
Valuing the ancestry
Of your connectedness.
As much as the connectedness
Of your ancestry.
Respect your family bonds
Wherever you are or may be
Respect your roots.

Sunkissed Earth
Sunkissed earth
Rays of light
Beaming through
Leaves aflame
Passionately pink
Flowers strewn
Woody trails
Evergreen trees
Scented forests
Serene spaces
Tranquility untold
Sight to behold
Heart at peace
Mind at ease
Beautiful places.
Sun kissed earth.

Gifts of Nature
I saw this photo this morning and I thought now this is what sands are meant for…
The oceans shares gifts for us every day on these shores
That leaves us with awe and wonder
Of the mighty underworld and its beings.
And we can only see them if we stop dumping manmade trash over them.
Lets pledge to support the sustenance of our beautiful planet.
Let’s begin to care for our from where we are!

As simple as this
In few words she simplified how to be & how do, whatever you do.
Life is actually simple
It is we who complicate it
Let’s just do the best we can
Let’s keep bettering ourselves every day!
For we truly can!
Salute to a great spirit & soul!
Savvy
Peace be with you!
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 transmit universal love.
Peace be with you!

Art of Shoshin
The Beginners Mindset
Helps in honing the ability
To see the world with fresh eyes
In curiosity, awe and wonder
Letting go of unnecessary perceptions
That can cloud the clarity.
When you choose
An open mind
Without assumptions
And preconceived notions
Without pride or prejudice
No matter who you are
What you have,
Or how much you know…
You are present
You are receptive
And welcoming of perspectives
To explore infinite possibilities
Of the potent now.

Reaction & Response
In a world too busy to care,
Too hurried and impatient
All must happen fast
Every thing must move quickly
Speed is a part of life
And life is lived on the fast lanes
However hurried reaction
Is considered unwise
Compared to the calmness of response.
Yet the truth is …
Between the active and passive
Exists a space to balance
Between reaction to response
Exists a pause for reflection
With reference to the choice of voice
Both have significance of their own
In the right situations & context
That can make all the difference.

On Empathy
Life Skills: Empathy Education
Life with all its complexities and contrasts creates a necessity to chalk out ways to make young impressionable minds better equipped to handle its exigencies. Holistic education is so much about grounding in connectedness as much as it is about intuitive understanding that, harmony in the mind body connection is a way of life and living.
An education in empathic behavior becomes paramount in a materialistic world. A lot of misconception about empathy needs clarification.
Empathy is seeing with another, listening to another acknowledging them as they are, in a nonjudgmental space and being with another sensing the feelings and caring to reach out with support through words action and deeds …
Empathy can be sensed in a touch a nod or a smile or in the simplicity of silence, doing nothing but just being there ….
Empathy is a sharing, a feeling, a bonding, a being, a seeing, a sensing, a trusting and believing in hope, in faith, in life and grace.
Empathy is about caring, as a way of being. Empathy is not always about bearing the suffering and sensing another’s pain or being in a state of sorrow or pain. There can arise great empathy when dancing together or in a classroom environment where the teacher feels one with the student’s frame of mind and speaks to address that … or hearing or performing a song or play together with unbridled sense of bonding and enthusiasm. This empathy can be reflected time and time again in striving to consciously stay aware of the mutually creative fulfillment it brings to our lives. Positive benefits of empathy can become a mirror to gradually inducing greater empathic behavior in our lives towards ourselves and others.
Our movements have the power to change our moods, as much as our thoughts can bring a change in our way of being. It doesn’t matter who believes in your empathic way of life, what matters is you believe in it yourself. And that is the first step in making a positive difference. When there is an empathy in action, it is mirrored in our minds to create, generate loving and caring thoughts as a response to the action.
Every empathic thought finds its way into expression thoughts words or deeds creatively. With increasing empathic thought and action there is unknowingly a connectedness, valuing the interdependence in this web of life and living as a way of being.
