A true friend is there to support you if you fall.
Allow space for you to grow
Cheer you along the way
Take interest in your journey
Mean well for you
Stop you from self harm
Believe in you without a doubt
Yet dare to tell the truth to you.
Be with you so you are never alone.
Now think about it…
Are you your own best friend ?

All is in the journey of self discovery
The simple act of nourishing
The soul temples we live in…
Bringing balance, harmony
And happiness in and around us.

The heart feels
The mind thinks
And generates a seed of thought
But the heart is all encompassing
In the core of the heart
Is the garden of life.
The heart is all pervasive
The heart is willingness
It accepts the seeds of thoughts
It colours it with emotion
Sometimes in all its vividity
In the brightest of tints
Or at times in shadowing tones
Between the dark and light of life
The heart nurtures and nourishes
Thoughts seeds to life.
In positively enriching thoughts
It empowers life to evolve .
What truly matters is..
To plant a positive seed in your heart
Allow the mind to help the heart
Discard the unwanted,
Weed out the unnecessary
Trim the excess growth
Support the saplings of goodwill
Balancing between the heart & mind
Every moment of awareness
Can change the course of life!

In the journey with time
Life’s toughest battles
Always find a way.
Life goes on no matter
Paving the path
To find solutions
Along the way.
The wisdom of resilience
Is to acknowledge
The circle of life
Remember the challenges
Always surface a solution
Underneath the giant shadow of trees
Mushrooms possibilities of hope.
In difficult moments
Think of life
As ocean waves
Waltzing with the tides
Highs and lows
Are both part of the flow
Think of yourself
Realize you are
Not just in the flow
You are the flow
Sense the surge
Of empowerment
Flooding through you
In this very thought
You have it all within you
To steer through
The troubled waters
To bridge through the gaps
And find a way.
To rise above
The tumultuous waves
Always know
There is hope
In the horizon across
Light shines
Beyond the darkest night.
Change is the only constant
Like night and day
Nature shows the way.
Tumbling down
Is temporary
Flipping over
Is a fraction of a moment.
Eventually leading
To new beginning
In hope and trust.
For all is in flux
Course through
Sail through the waves
With a heart full of hope.

The art of giving time and attention…
Is worth mastering to have any
successful relationship.
Nothing worth having can ever be rushed.

Freedom to be…
Every life deserves the dignity of being
Freedom to be respected as they are ,
Freedom, to be valued and feel safe and secure, as every other human being .
Are you…
Free to express yourself as you are?
Free to share without fear?
Free to find yourself ?
Free to think for yourself?
Know then that the world needs
Your uniqueness as you are…
Now more than ever before!

I received this beautiful photo capture years ago, and I cherish it. Everytime I see it, it speaks to me.
A few musings…
There is a pool
I often sit by
with my thoughts
In fact all of me.
Its a pool that inspires
Creativity in collaboration
Its a pool that invites
Connections in association.
A pool of collectives
That move me beyond
The rut of mediocrity
To an all expansive space.
A pool of equanimity
That keeps me balanced
A pool centered inside
That aligns it all to the core.
A pool is an interesting place, as it is allowing yet contained.The circle of thoughts, in a pool allow space of contemplation.
Without the hurry and haste, to sense the moment as it is.
Every now and then choose to sit with/by your own pool of peace sensing the peace you already have.

To all the dancers and those who choose to waltz with life….
As dancers we are a lucky lot!
We are totally able to dance with time…
Move with it on time,
Or take the offbeat road to reverse and revel the joy of reflections in the rivers of time.

The Road to Acceptance has many challenges in the learnings… not often easy, but certainly transforming in one way or the other.
Like there are many aspects to understanding
In acceptance there are many perspectives
Acceptance is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient nature of everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now.
The Paradox of acceptance is being defenseless to yin and yangs of life and living. Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength, is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness , in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

On letting go ….
Making peace with the now,
Very easy, they say.
Follow the breath,
And peace flows.
Yet…
We all know
That it is quite a task
To be consistent.
That’s how life is!
Such is truth in itself
In this now
As every moment
Gives in to the new.
We are meant to be,
To learn and unlearn.
Our senses,
Our emotions
Challenge us in the changes.
Our system takes a toll;
Our beliefs turn around
In soul searching ways…
And then, we learn to see
The moment as it presents itself.
All judgements and assumptions,
All prejudices and preconceived notions
Fade away into the oblivion.
We live in this moment.
In engagement again
But with this now,
Without forgetting what has gone
But forgiving times bygone.
For only then, we make space,
For peace to flow in…
Savvy
Life and living…
Every life has a purpose all its own.
Life is what you make of it.
Make it memorable
Make it meaningful
Live to sense the magic of life.

Own your breath
Inhale the good
Let go the spurious
Anything that never matters
Is bound to bounce off.
What is necessary receive
With atmost regard.
Your breathe holds the key
Unlock the healing potential
As you breathe deeper
With all of your awareness
In every inhale and exhale.
Breathe in peace.
Savvy
There is a place
That fills you with positivity
Enriches you with expansiveness
Embodies inclusiveness.
Enough to keep your faith going.
Endowed with trustfulness
Believe in possibilities.
A place of potential value
Thats nurturing in itself.
That lights the way forward.
A place that speaks to all of you!
A beautiful place called hope!
Savvy
There are signs that seem to appear
Out of nowhere
That make us hope, have faith
That help retain our trust
That shows the way
In our darkest hours.
There is a communion
Of our senses with our soul
A beautiful serendipitous wave
That washes through us
To bring clarity along the way.
The truth is always with you…
Guiding us to believe
To see the bigger picture.
To know nothing is accidental
There is always something more.

Someone the other day asked me, are you a coffee or tea person.
I wonder…
All my life so far, have never been a coffee or tea person.
But of late I am sensing what a cup of steaming hot goodness can do for my spirit.
It’s not a tea or coffee that I want,
Its a cup of cheer, that soothes me and rejuvenates me .
Sure its not a habit so far , but it certainly good to pause every once in a while and take a sip and sense the world a little bit more in time.
My favorites …
I love the plain old ginger lemon & honey tea. Or even like a herb/ spice infused cinammon tea!
As for coffee very rarely, I enjoy the aroma of filtered South Indian coffee.
But the reason I drink a cup of goodness and what I would want most is…
Something that warms my heart
Something that sweetens my thoughts
Something that allows me to pause
To rest a while to gather my self.
What about you?
Are you a coffee or tea person?
Do you need it as your morning wake me up?
Do you have a craving for tea or coffee?
Do share if you are fond of coffee or tea & why?
