Learnings in the listening


I listened  to my heart
Every day
As it shares from within
And I write them out as words
Sometimes as verses
At times it’s measured
In moderation.
Its a zen moment
For there is clarity
In just a few words shared.

Then there are times
They flow like a river
A torrent in a current
Patterning itself
In its own making
Words come through me
As if it needs to be spoken
Sharing the sensitivity
Of the moments at hand.
I listen simply with rapt attention.
For in the slightest flutter
In every movement in the moments
Or the depth of silence.
There is always something more.

Walk in light

Why walk in shadows of dark
When light  is just around the bend.

Walk in light
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.

Trust your inner light to show you the way.
Love the light that you actually are!

Imprints of kindness

On Kindness
Kindle the kindness
It’s the springwell of love
For love is limitless
Kindness generates
Heartfelt abundance
From one to another
Creating magic in action
Be it in words thoughts or deeds.

That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth

Leave imprints in kindness

Every word you say

Every where you go

Every act you do in kindness

Every tree you plant

Makes a difference

For it is busy saving the world.

Be kind stay kind

It’s possible.

What’s louder than words?

This world…
Needs no pity
That feels sorry
Nor sympathy
That feels pain.
For feeling sorry
Or sensing pain
Will not solve
The issues at hand.

What one life truly needs from another…
Is empathy
To understand and relate with one another.
And compassion
That cares to help heal.

Whenever wherever
the dialogue changes
From I feel sorry,
To I will help you
Because I care…
The world will be a better place.

For action speaks louder than words.

All at the right time.

There is a time and reason for every season
For if all the seasons manifested together
There would be calamity.

There is always a reason to things
To questions and answers

If every lifes purpose asserted itself in this now.
There would be no tommorow…
Life is meant to go on
To live and learn
To explore and discover
To hope and await
To look forward to…

So acknowledge the learnings that happen
In a lifetime…
All at the right time.

Cups of time

Cupclock

If every hour were to be a cup

That would hold what you pour

What what you pour into the cup?

If every cup were to be

As they are meant to be,

Which cups would be full?

And which stark empty?

On happiness

Everyone has a different idea of true happiness.

What do you think you need to be truly happy?

Is it love?

Is it hope?

Is it purpose?

Is it inclusion?

Is it health?

Is it material or non material?

I do think happiness is an inside job.

We are responsible for our happiness.

Feel free to share your thoughts on happiness.

Be you

There is great power

In being yourself

You will know

You are enough

To be all that you are

Be you

That’s what u are meant to be

When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself,and in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will make a positive impact on this world.

All it takes is being the authentic you!

Healing is in letting go

On Letting go

If you are feeling upset

Let time pass

Hurts will heal again

If you are angry

Let there be pauses

Anger will recede in the silence

If you are defeated

Let yourself know

That the world is a circle

The night breaks into a new dawn

With promises of a blessed new day!

So stay patient in perseverance

And know every phase has a reason to be

Learn to forgive and let go

And as all is meant to be well once again.

Writing is often a very cathartic experience.

Sometimes people unknowningly say things that hurt or upset another.

Today was one of those days. I chanced upon one of my old poems on letting go in forgiveness and it made much sense. I was able to move beyond simply by acknowledging the truth in those verses.

I simply had to share…

Treasure of happiness

Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought.

Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
Lawrence G. Lovasik

Loved the message in the quote…Build a treasure of happiness.

A Great Share

Ever Grateful  for a powerful caption that once caught my eye

“Don’t bite more than you can chew….”


Denotes the wisdom of  moderation in life and living. To know a cut off point
Is to know where to draw the line between  exhaustion  and excitement.

Simply taking on more work or responsibility  or trying  to multitasking beyond  your abilities and capacities is self defeating.
So only commit to what you truly can deliver .
Not less not more.
So grateful to have read this many years ago and  consistently  practice this learning. 
Happy to share this piece of advice that is my mindful reminder before taking on more.

A Reason To Be

Sometimes you sense
Life taking you to places
Leading you to pathways  Moving towards you.
Sometimes you notice
Signs that speak to you
Appearing and disappearing. From anywhere to nowhere.
It’s for you to understand
The significance of the signs
Now is the time to free your mind,
To listen in keen awareness,
And trust in the Universe There is always a reason
Nothing is coincidental.

Blossom as you are

A flower doesn’t stop being beautiful just because somebody walks by without noticing it, nor does it cease to be fragrant if its scent is taken for granted. The flower just continues to be its glorious self: elegant, graceful, and magnificent.

Our Mother Nature has provided us with these immeasurably valuable teachers that blossom despite their short lifespan, stars that continue to shine even if we fail to stare at them, and trees that don’t take it personally if we never bow down in gratitude for the oxygen they provide.

We also have an incredible and unlimited capacity to love, but the question is: Can we do it like a flower? Without needing to be admired, adored, or even noticed? Can we open our hearts completely to give, forgive, celebrate, and joyfully live our lives without hesitation or need for reciprocity?

It seems like sometimes we go beyond taking things personally and are noticeably deflated when unappreciated. In fact, devastated, we wilt in sorrow and then attempt to guard ourselves by withholding, using all sorts of protections and defenses. We get hurt (even angry) if our boss fails to recognize an astonishing feat, if a lover pulls their hand away, or when a friend forgets our birthday. Can you imagine a flower copping an attitude for not being praised, or the moon dimming its glow because we’re too self-absorbed to notice it more often?

Make an effort to shine NO MATTER WHAT, to love unconditionally, and to be a kind and gentle soul (even when nobody is watching).

And, if you’re so inclined, hug the next tree you see and say, “Thank you!”

On Trees

LARGEST TREE IN THE WORLD
Location : Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County, California, USA.
The General Sherman Tree is the world’s largest tree, measured by volume. It stands 275 feet (83 m) tall, and is over 36 feet (11 m) in diameter at the base. Sequoia trunks remain wide high up. Sixty feet above the base, the Sherman Tree is 17.5 feet (5.3 m) in diameter.

Was wondering of the lifetime experiences that this tree must have been through.

Of how many seasons it must have seen

Of how it must have survived through the storms

As well as enjoyed the beauty of springtines

Of the countless lives it must have generously sheltered

And continues to do so….

Strengthened by nature

Thriving in the surviving

A Salute to the tree.
