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.

A Matter Of Inclusiveness
Such a beautiful and inspiring share.
Yesterday I happened to read this share on social media. And I truly appreciate the mindset of these two beautiful people.
One who believes learning has no age or defined boundaries And goes on to prove it by completing her graduation.
Another who values the needs and heartfelt intentions of another and is accepting and inclusive enough to have no place for insecurities of any kind to seep in, while helping her accomplish her goals.
It’s truly fascinating to read this. And I do know the journey must have been one of those rare kinds as well as challenging on many fronts for both of them.
It’s truly not often that you witness such beautiful endeavors.
And speaking candidly…
How many daughters would actually want their mothers in college with them?
How many will be happy to accompany their mothers every day while in college?
How many mothers would have the thirst for knowledge and the passion, patience and perseverance needed to do something about it to such a degree?
Salute to both these spirited souls.
For sharing their learning journey. And showing age is just a number and inclusion is a matter of an expansive heart.❤

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.

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.

Heart of Peace
Cultivating inner peace
Begins with the awareness
Of your own breath
Just for a moment
Take a pause and reflect
On the inhaled breath
You cannot hold it much longer
You have to let it go
Likewise to this
Think of all the conflicts
Of the storms raging within you
Think of burdens weighing you down
How long do you choose to carry them.
You have to let it go, one day or another
Why not now, and live free
Sensing the lightness of being.
You have One life one heart.
Choose to live life with heartfelt peace.

All is well.
We are living in a world rushed for time. People hurry and scurry through the day.
What we see in others is a part of us too reflected through them, when we are accepting of that part and able to respect it just as much as ourselves , we create all that we need to see at that moment .
Some very basic humane abilities are necessary in our journey in life.
To listen to understand, to connect, to acknowledge, to emphasize, to sense gratitude, to share happiness, and care for another as much as for ourselves.
Much of the world’s issues may find solace & resolutions in simply caring to be present in the moment.
In these abilities lies the truth of nature in its magnanimity and abundance in every moment.
And All is truly well.

So simply take what you really need.
