Finding Meaning

Photo by Quang Nguyen Vinh on Pexels.com

We all sail in the same boat of unending hope
We all learn of life in the living
Sharing experiences along the way.
We adjust our sails as we sense the winds of wisdom blow
And follow in hope of discovering more in the flow…
And in the leading and the following
Life goes on…
Finding meaning for itself!

On Trees & Gratitude

Every  tree is beautiful
No matter where it is
But some take your breath away
In the sheer grace of abundance
Of nature’s manifestation.


Speaking  of trees
There is tree that comes to mind
That I used to always be charmed by
In my daily walk while in a distant land
It is a beautiful tree in Rennes France
A glance would be enough to feel
The gratitude welling up in me
For the bounties of nature!
So grateful!

Love

When you love deeply

You begin to respect life

In all forms that you see

You revere the omnipresence

You wonder about abundance in awe

Your life becomes more meaningful

For there is so much more to understand

About Life in the living

You become more present in the moment

Every now has immense potential

And you begin to live than simply exist

Live life lovingly!

Life gives unto life

Cage not the spirit of a bird
If you truly want to hear
The soul song of a bird


Plant a tree…
For life gives unto life
Such is nature of nature

On Heartfulness

When life seem a little too chaotic

When time seems to zip past us

When you wish to pause and reflect

Can you begin to see with your heart

For the heart comes along with truth

Of the being betwixt all the frenzy & fear

The heart emotes and senses

In all authenticity and intuition

Choose heartfulness

Allow yourself to tune in to hear

The beat of the not so distant drummer

Be ready to listen to its beat in synchrony

For heart knows the path of the being.

Change is the only constant

We are all part of change

Speak of

Changing brains and body

Changing minds and hearts

Changing needs and wants

Processing change…


Is about letting in and letting  go
There is a sense of giving and receiving
A sense of gain and a sense of  loss


In acknowledgement and acceptance
Of the course of nature
In the circle of life


Our body intelligence
Helps in evolving  the self awareness
To  be adaptive and amenable to change


For change is the only constant

Life

One who knows the worth of life

Cannot afford to waste

Even a single moment of life

Care to take a step

Towards a more meaningful life.

Every now is awaiting your awareness

To envision the potential within

Every new day is a gift of possibilities

Care to make today count!

Favourite music

On song writing:

“We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it’s timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there’s going to be a real appreciation.” -Art Garunkel

What is great music to you?

Is it the song how it sounds to you ?

Do you pay attention to the lyrics?

Sometimes great lyrics alone don’t make a great song,

And often great song has hardly any depth to its lyrics

So what are your favorite or evergreensongs the ones you listen to always?

What is it that makes it, to your favorite list?

Breathing free

A beautiful share

“She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride,
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,
They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,
When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,
They told her they’d listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,
And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,
But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else,
So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,
She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she’d been told time after time,
She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much,
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped…and she heard what the trees said to her,
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe”

On Gentleness of Being

Life is precious
And so are relationships
Remember, gentle is the way 
When you walk with another
There is much you do not know
You never know the hidden truths
For some wounds are deep and invisible.
So walk gently, care sincerely live lovingly

IN THIS NOW

There is always a reason

We know not yet

Trust life to deliver

Know life is a puzzle

Every piece fits perfectly eventually

Keep your faith alive

And celebrate the life you have

In this now

Heartprints of Serendipity

How intuitive are you?

Do u sense the subtlety

In nature and its mystical ways

Of sending signs and symbols your way?

For you to understand perspectives

Beyond assumptions & notions

To create an insightful vision

Of the unfolding realms

Of the possibilities in the potential.

There is always a reason

Why you are gifted with intuitive intellect.

Consider ways to use it for goodwill

Think larger, widen your perspectives

For the world at large

Can you use this subtlety of knowing

And leave heartprints of Serendipity?

Path of Equanimity

Peace begins in our hearts

In our actions in awareness

Peace spreads its wings

Unfolding its magic

Interspersing the seeds of peace

In the hearts of humans

When we embrace ourselves

With all our conflicts and chaos

With our inexplicable challenges

We embrace the peace

Already deeply embedded within

In between and betwixt

The rest and movement

Peace regenerates itself

In the middle path

Peace finds its balance.

In the path of Equanimity

Art of Self Removal

Throwback to last week when I recorded a demo and forgot about it 

Shown here is one of the riskiest parts of the process — removing myself from the fragile balance without disturbing it.

In order to balance something like this, I usually need to basically wrap my body around it while sitting and building.. using knees to hug / stabilize the lower section(s) like a scaffold. But once I find zero, I need to remove my body without causing the structure to collapse.. on my body.. it’s when I’m most vulnerable.

But as seen here, I keep my gaze firmly on the structure while maneuvering my body away. It’s like a weird hyper focus where I’m spatially entranced on the relative positions of the rocks, and if any data point deviates from the whole, I have maybe a second to react before it becomes dangerous, especially for my left hand here which is planted on the stump I was sitting on, hoisting my body away.. if that top decides to fall on that hand, bones would likely break… not a situation where I can afford to break focus.

Some self removals are easier than others — it really just depends on a firm hold for my right hand behind me, the sensitivity of the structure itself, and what the wind is doing..

This post made me think further on

The Art of Self Removal

In any creation

The creator is inextricably

Interweaved in the tapestry of creation

And yet the Creator detaches the self

To step away from the creation

Distinguishing the completion

Of one phase of the creation

For it to begin it’s own journey of being
