Success follows the action
In intention to completion
In engagement to fulfillment
In planning to execution
In confusion to clarity
Simply dreaming is not enough
Simply thinking is not enough
Simply wanting is not enough
Success follows the passion
Success follows perseverance
Success follows patience
Yet success doesn’t just come.
You go to it
And make it happen.
Success demands effort from you
And consistently so!
Soon you will find yourself
Staring at success right in the eyes

Past is gone
Future is yet to arrive
One gone in time
Another in a distance
What is now
Is the reality to sense.
Let everything else just be
Live this now!

Art is meant to align us.
The true purpose of an artform is found in the aligning with the universal consciousness .

Arrested Development
Great things can come in little packages
Like a Bonsai perhaps
Standing majestic and magnificent
No matter the proportions
But what does it endure to be?
Life without freedom
Is a life of constraints & restraints
A life of arrested development
Is beauty winning over freedom to be
Is the desire for aesthetics and a taste of experimentation
more important than freedom for living life fully
Stunting growth is no way beautiful
Be it Shackles on feet with chains or tight shoes in the name of beauty
On the other end there are many examples of prejudices of beauty working itself in society.
Delibrate acts of elongating necks with chains of gold is considered a norm in some parts of the world
Why is life so brutal to life
In the name of beauty?

Whoever thinks being slow is a weakness
Has not understood its power
In being able to slow down
The propensity to think carefully
To pay attention to detail
To be mindful & cautious
To work with precision
Steadiness and thoroughness
Increases manifold.
In slowing down, nature teaches
Great lessons in letting go
Like time cannot be contained
Moments are meant to flow
It’s own course
Yet the strength of the slow
Is in the ability to live the now
Recognizing the value of life.
There is an art of the slow
Where the senses activate
And creativity enhances
In thinking and reflecting
In careful consideration
Slow is challenging for some
Yet slow can be earnest practice of mindfulness
Slow begets a response than reaction
Slow can be about building up gradually
And exploring the possibilities
Of the potential in this now.
Slow can be a deliberation
In patience & perseverance
With an effortless grace
Such is the art of the slow.

If time were a river
You will understand
There is a flow to things
Across the manifestations
Everything in time
Has a reason & season to be.
Wonder and amazement too has its own plan
To create curiousity to explore more
To understand there is always more
What’s is to hold on to
Or to give away
Will reveal itself in time
For…
To discard is at times let go in trust and hope
To make space for better to manifest in time.

To dance is to know
The feeling of being alive
To this now in your life
Being present with all of you
Listening and moving
To your own beating heart
For the music and rhythm
Is yours to own and sense.
To dance is to let go
Of the spurious and irrelevant
And reclaim the energy
That is yours to own.
And in that owning
You create moments
Worth living for…
Hope you dance!
Beautiful thoughts
From an empathic mind.
That cares from the heart
Truly what use is giving
Without a need for the giving
As giving is a gift only
In the receiving
Else it’s just giving away
Without any takers
All is wasted.
So perhaps its alright to ask
Before you plan to give.

Is there a space you love to be
Where you feel most you ?
Where there is respite from chaos
Where there is peace for the sensing
What is that place for you ?
Your home or somewhere far away?
While I love people and enjoy my time with them
And infact get charged by some amazing conversations
I would also love to be by myself
By nature preferably walking
In the calm of a forest trail
Or perhaps on a winding road uphill,
Would love to have a flowing river by my side
and most of all be surrounded by trees
Or even up the mountains
Watching the world from a vantage view.
And then comes the sandy beaches and sea
There are of course those moments to cherish
With the whistling dunes
In all I would love free spaces
where I could sense the earths energy undisturbed.
And be synched in for a while.
May be hugging a tree or an animal
Or walking by a beautiful stream
Or under a canopy of stars at night.
These are spaces for me
To connect deeply within.
How about you?
Savvy
Somewhere in time…
Some paths feel closer home
A river that feels cruised before
The spectre of night that feels witnessed before
Some places feel lived & breathed in before
Memorable moments linger on
Sustained as fond memories
In the sensing of soulspaces.

Beautiful is the word I sense
Ethereal vision in white.
Under a canopy of sky so blue
A treat to envision
This is the White-wisteria
The Japanese tree.

On Freedom
Freedom is being able to be all of you
But remembering the rights
Of other lives to be all of them
When we understand…
Our Freedom ends where another’s freedom begins.
So then
How free do you feel in this now
How important is freedom to you?
Can you sense your life flowing
Or is there restraints that bound you
Can you express yourself without hesitation?
Can you speak your mind without fear?
Can you write without worrying if the words may reveal your nature?
Can you walk alone without a care where you live?
Can you wear what you want without fear of ridicule?
Can you dance the way your spirit moves you?
In short
Can you flow in harmony with the spirit in you?
If you have answered more yes than no then consider yourself closer to being truly free.
Freedom is not for giving
Freedom is there for taking
Freedom is being you
As you truly are
Freedom is living
Without facades.
Wherever you sense
You are most you.
Now…
How free are you feeling
In this now?

‘Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.’
Paramahansa Yogananda
Have you smiled today?
When you smile from the heart
You begin to let go the spurious
You rise above apprehensions
And self created notions.
Smile from the heart ❤️

Life gives life
Life takes life
Live heals life
Life hurts life
Life nurtures life
Life tortures life
Life can be powerful
Life can be powerless
At any one moment
Such is the truth of life
In the river of time
Youth ages in time
Life moves on
In every moment at hand
Realize the preciousness of now
Sense the bliss in the blessings
From hands that raise you
For time takes a toll
What was, is not going to be
What will be we do not know
What is now, make it matter
Practice gratitude
Practice appreciation
Practice thankfulness
In this now.
Savvy
Darkness is a great opportunity to discover the divine face of the light!’
I like the positivity in this quote by Mehmat Murat Ildan the Turkish novelist
Acknowledging the shadow behind the light is understanding the duality of creation and valuing the balance and harmony in every moment .
