Every beat of heart…

Sponge Heart
There is a profound Croatian saying
by Tea Obrecht –
“Is your heart a sponge or a fist?”
What is your first thought on this?
The human heart is continually operating as a muscular pump, contracting on average 80 times per minute to propel 9 tons of blood through body tissues each day.
Heart is a resilient organ
It keeps on beating through life.
In a lifetime it acts like a sponge
Yet it squeezes itself in every beat
Cleansing to regenerate itself.
Heart is resilient as a fist
Yet open to receive & share love
Heart is intelligent in its intuition
Courageous and compassionate
Caring loving and humane
For after all humanity is heart centric.

Sky above, earth below, and fire within…
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
The fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.
The fire within, I nurture
In passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.
Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring, I choose to fly
I wonder awed by infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.
I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature
A garden of life,
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.
Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, the awaiting purpose of life.
With my Spirit afire in my beating heart.

The way you see it
Surfers attitude to life…
Imagine that you see a wave coming towards you
What is your first thought in your mind?
Do you see ocean waves as something you will drown in?
Or can you think like surfers do?
And think of riding the waves
For they know there is another one coming along…
Life manifests the way you chose to see it.

Take a moment to write your own list of strengths
Whatever they are…
There is a purpose to you having them.
Unlock your uniqueness harness your potential
There is great power in your own potential…
But realize that you are the one who can harness the potential within.

On Change
On being a life long student of Change
To be a student of Change
We need to learn about life from it
We need to acknowledge its flow
As part of life, in every now.
To know there will be interruptions
And understand them as intentional
Synchrony at play.
To self arrange the chaos that is sensed.
So in these very changes
As we keep, acknowledging life
As part of the same flow
We begin to be one with change
In conscious awareness
And trust life to flow
For Change is the only constant.

Wisdom of walking on…
To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.
Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.
But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.
There is great wisdom in such a practice.
There is always something
That you would have done
That which you have accomplished
Your success that you are proud of!
However,
What you did yesterday
Cannot be taken for granted
For it is back in time
What ever your achievements
Your accomplishments are yours to know
Yet life is not lived backwards
You can take your learnings
From what is done and apply to this now
For the future is another day
Dwell not in time gone by
Past glory recedes in time
No matter the memory into a distant dot.
Choose to be in this present
For then the hits and misses
Become small matters in the sun
Then no challenge is unsurmountable
For then success and failures
Become stepping stones to learn from
Walk on in this now…

Stay Hopeful
When the odds stack high, .
When our visions are not far enough,
When the road ahead seems blocked,
When we are at our wits’ end
When we are at cross with destiny
It shakes hand with us.
As it has planned ahead
A reciprocal arrangement
That opens a new path,
A new vision appears.
Nothing ends,
A new beginning starts.
Hope is here to stay.
A poem by my mother Anjana
Truth of Meditation
Happened to read a profound quote share of Lao Tzu, from
The Tao Teh Ching by my wonderful blogger friend Eddie Two Hawks here https://wp.me/p16fFF-6Ic
Here is my contemplation based on the quote
Close the doors..
Of the chaos of thoughts
Of unnecessary judgements
in the making
Close the doors…
Consciously in the noticing
In mindfulness than mindlessness &
overthinking.
This is the truth of meditation
In all its simplicity
And in all its profoundness.

Lens of compassion
When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown
The way we see the world
Changes our experiences
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.

Finding time
Awakening the self
When you arrive at being comfortable
At ease no matter the seeking and the knowing
At peace no matter the circumstances
In equanimity in the wisdom of the interconnects
You are awakening yourself…
To the profoundness of you.
In the subtlety of consciousness
Resides the truth of it all.

Thoughts & us
We are what our thoughts are.
God came.
Ask me whatever you want.
Ten people asked their desires
First one
Countless money & a big business to run
2nd one
The most powerful position in the world
3rd one
I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor
4th
I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me
Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.
The tenth person asked
I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.
The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.
Peace of mind, contented heart.
For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.
God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.
The He turned towards the tenth person and said,
‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.
Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.
In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.
As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.
The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.
Who are we.
The tenth person or
the rest .
Decide.
Our thoughts decide who we are.
Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.
Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.
Know you
All That You Seek Around You Already Have Within You
All the knowing
That you may need
You have enough
Seek your truth
Around and within
You are enough
Already all is within you
Have trust hope and faith
Within you all is awaiting
You to know, You.

A quick question.
Just a quick question…
How many of you writers, have felt people equating your creative writing with your life?
As a writer I do know that creativity comes up in the most unexpected moments. It may have or not at all have anything to your own experiences. Much of the creative process can happen in attention to details as a keen observer, in witness mode , in associations of thoughts and feelings and in sensing emotions in empathy, concern or care, that may have or not have any personal connotations.
Writing is the freedom of expression in flights of imagination, its a beautiful art and that is free for interpretation once it has been published. For the writer has chosen to let it go…
How it came to be, is a mystery sometimes to the Author too😉
