The power is in the truth
Where truth is nothing dares
Such is the nature of truth
That whatever ways it is submerged
It always gets unearthed
And yet interestingly its often said…
The opposite of the great truth
Is also truth!
Such is the circle of life.

Personally speaking, I have a deep interest in the art of movements, especially the ones that elucidate the flow… perhaps that is why I love dancing but on the other hand I have been equally captivated by the beauty of Tai chi and more so Qi Gong.
The healing energy of movement has often been a subject of deep passion, respect and research for me.
Likewise I am especially fond of the flowing Waltz as well. Since childhood, dancing comes naturally to me but have always found myself grappling to understand why martial art is even necessary.Until much later I started exploring the potency of energy in each of us…through a little introduction into Tai chi as well by conscious choice.
Allow me to present my reflections on this subject in a flow….
In a dance
There is an interconnect
Of emotion and movement
As to emote is to sense
The feeling in the flow…
In dance there is an awareness
Of moving in response
Without anticipation.
As in one step less,
The music moves on
And you are left to improvise
On how to match the steps in rhythm.
Yes, truly to dance is to enjoy the life in the moves.
In martial arts
There is flow too
But a flow that is ever in alertness,
In strategic moves and self defense
The speed and swiftness
In reaction and response.
Martial arts often feels like dance… t
But often the difference
Is between life and death.
Both are connected in the deepest sense and yet distinctive like chalk and cheese.
The intention to dance and to fight…is what differentiates.
We dance to let go, to enjoy this now and celebrate it.
In awareness is a flow that merges in harmony to synch in with now in artistry of the moves
The warrior is fighting for peace for survival against all odds
Not knowing what is the next move but yielding to the now to decipher the countermove and strike.
Here too there is often a display of extreme artistry of motion in accuracy of time.
To learn both, takes dedication and practice in patience.
But most of all is the need for relentless will & passion to persevere .
Yes, there is a dancer in a warrior
And a warrior in the dancer.
Choice rests within you.
Just remember, to dance is to live the moments and explore its most aesthetic potential in the flow… choose not to make dance a fight.
Stay joyful in peace.
To learn martial arts is to get into the arena and survive.
Attack or in self defense with least possible harm to get out of harms way to stay in peace.
Both may have their own relevance in purpose
To negate one is to look at only one half of the circle
Just as much as joy is part of life
Safekeeping the freedom to be
Is equally important in every now…
Do you want to dance in peace
Do you want to fight for peace.
Choice is yours to make
Peace or war!

Is the beguiling beauty of nature
Meant to have its own purpose
Afterall,everything is connected
Nothing is accidental.
However free in abandon we may feel
In this moment, we are bound
By the laws of nature
And its in these tangible connects
In being part of nature
We are deeply disturbed
By the imbalances of nature.
All of animaldom chooses harmonious
Coexistence with natures laws.
Unlike humans who try to outsmart nature and its ways.
Yet nature nourishes and nurtures itself in every now.
Such is the truth of life and living in nature.
High time to evolve with the lessons
nature shares.
Know that there is always a reason
To the way things are…
What we cannot see with our eyes
Nature of nature, emotes through our senses
Leaving the heart imprints,
Of wisdom in impressions for all of posterity…
Savvy
Wisdom is in the Wind
In the breeze so cool
Wisdom gently rests
Buzzing like the bee
And blows off again…
Singing the song of freedom
Hear it whistling through the rustling leaves…
Showing the vulnerability
Of the moment, now and then.
Wisdom of water is legendary
In its flow is the secret of letting go
Of peace and forgiveness
Of ease and acceptance.
Water is flexible and agile
To adapt itself along the way
Yet strong enough to persevere
And smoothen the stones
Into pebbles in the flow.
To be able to imbibe the profound
Wisdom of the wind & water
Is to know the wisdom of the flow
In knowing that you are not in the flow
But you are the flow!
Savvy
All is a matter of attitude
We create our lives in every now
As we choose to think and be
Our lifes moment aligns itself.
As each individual life begins to see
The value of self awareness and hopefulness.
Life evolves for one and all
Better communities to nations…
We as a world, are more powerful
Than what we choose to believe …
For we are our own changemakers
War or peace is a choice we have with us.

Recently I came across this picture
Of a truly unique tree called the Tibetan Cherry…
Mesmerized by its brilliant red hues
I was drawn to research a bit more…
The more I read about it
The more I was drawn to sharing this…
I dedicate these following couplets
To this fascinating vision of a tree.
One of the myriad expressions
Of nature’s majestic manifestation.
Alluring copper coloured tree
That creates awe and wonder.
Also known as the Paperbark Cherry
This is a tall tree, growing to around thirty feet in height.
Known to be a native Chinese tree with glossy trunk.
And bumpy bands of lines around it.
Resplendent with red berries, during autumn
Its foliage turns into golden yellow…
And by spring emerges a bloom
Of tiny white flower clusters.
Such a spectacular ornamental shrub
That I would love to meet someday!

Between belief and trust
There is a fine line
That makes all the difference
For to believe, is one thing
But to trust, is to let go.
In this trustfulness
Is where all the magic happens
And where the wonder comes alive
And beliefs finds meaning
In the ability to trust
Comes along the surrender
And the ability to accept the let go
In knowing there is always hope.
To trust, is to know there is
Always Something more
Than you or I
That will have our back
In complete trust
Life manifests and flourishes
Beyond the niggling doubts
And the unfounded insecurities
Trust is power that creates possibilities
So important to trust and be trustworthy.
Trust and allow yourself to realize its potential.
To acknowledge trust, is a step ahead in faith.

Gratitude is a beautiful attitude.
Both in the giver and receiver.
There is certain change of heart
Life evolves for the better.
Yes how beautiful it is
When we begin and end the day
With the grace of heartfelt gratitude!

To care to feed your soul
Is to know what your soul truly needs.
Soul is subtlety, that is ever evolving
The soul knows the truths of being.
And yet the soul never commands
Feed your soul with peace
In the heart and mind.
Steer thoughts to think well!
Take care of the body that houses it.
All is transient and yet…
Every now in life can be better.
Feed the soul with love & hope.
Let go of hate and negativity.
Learn the power of subtlety.
There is no secret to evolved souls
Except letting go, without ego.
The ego has no place in the soul
Let go the spurious
You will be happy!
As simple as that.
Savvy
Take nothing for granted
There is always a reason
For things to be, where they are
As they are, however they are…
Let your heart be ever grateful
For things that you have in this now.
And for that which passed you by…
All is well …in this now.
Stay thankful
And take nothing for granted!

Evolving with time
In the weft and warp of time
As the clock ticks on its own tune
The harmony is moving in tandem
To the beats of the marching song.
Time and tide waits for non they say
But to accept the changes happen
Exactly where you are , is to adapt
To the nature of the seasonal shifts
To begin to understand the dots
Is to connect to the bigger picture
Is to know there is more to every frame
Time to unravel the unundertood
Take the path of the envisioning
The construction, than destruction
Choose to decipher the genius plan
And trust the evolving patterns of life&living .
Growth creates changes along with opportunities galore
That can go out of hand…easily
For in the space of unprecedented growth
One needs checks and balances
To grow and evolve
Without losing control
The evolving world is no longer linear
But more viscerally attuned
To a multi dimensional phase
To synch in harmony
Tuning towards an evolutionary pathway.
Savvy
Beyond the passion
The road to your life’s purpose
Is all about perseverance & patience.
When you choose to trust your dreams
To persevere with sincere intention
And believe with all of you
You are definitely closer to your chosen destination.

Two left feet or two right feet
Just learn to swing to the beat
And find the rhythm of your own heart.
And learn to dance and make a healthy start…
Just a little step and sway …
Bring the balance in your way.
Yes all we need is just a ‘Dance’ everyday!

It is actually simpler to be yourself. There is something that each of us can do better than any other.
So its important then to listen to the inner voice and bravely obey that.
Nicely penned by someone……
I watched a local football match in a school playing ground.
As I sat down, I asked one of the boys what the score was.
With a smile, he replied; they are leading us 3-0.
And I said, REALLY.
I have to say you don’t look discouraged.
“Discouraged” the boy asked with a puzzled look.
Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle.
I have confidence in the team and the managers; we shall definitely overcome.
Truly, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy’s team.
He waved at me gently, with a beautiful smile as he left; I was amazed, mouth wide open; Such confidence; Such beautiful faith.
As I got back home that night, his question kept coming back to me –
…..
Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle.
Life is like a game….
Why be discouraged, when there is still life.
Why be discouraged when your final whistle has not sounded.
The truth is that many people blow the final whistle themselves….
But as long as there is life, nothing is impossible and it is never too late for you.
Half time is not full time…..
Don’t blow the whistle yourself…..😊
