We humans are warring
With our own gifts
If oceans could speak
They would call for peace
We need peace with nature
In and around us
Or it will overcome us.
Let us not plunder our earth
For personal gain
Let us not ruin its resources
And tilt the balance
Flood and famine
Are the price we pay
Let there be balance
Let us not treat it with disdain
Water is precious
Without it we cannot live
Nor can our Earth.

I wrote this poem below years ago. I had no idea about who Julia Hill was back then. And today I was reminded of my poem, when I came across her story. She is an American Activist who saved Luna the redwood tree by living in it to prevent loggers from cutting off the tree and refusing to backdown.
Today I dedicate this very poem to her and the likes of her and their unwavering spirit to save trees.
The Lady on the Tree.
In the centre of placid calm stands an angel of hope and resilience.
She has birds of hope surrounding her haloed presence.
Be like the lady on the tree.
In the stillness of the water… sensing your spirit feel so free,
Climb the tree in the serenity of the calm and unwind.
Bring composure to the cursory mind.
Move away from the mundane.
And feel more humane.
See the birds dancing by your side,
Singing their sweet songs of hope that will always reside!
Tread gently and softly move
In your journey as you find your groove.
Climb that tree and rest awhile.
Witness the water silently settle.
Renew your spirit and discover your mettle.
Delve in the solitude, seeking the clarity in the calm, unbound
As in still waters run deep, the wisdom profound.

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.
Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.
While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.
Thought of sharing my verses again.
Travel On
If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

In the depths of darkness
Keep the faith on a new dawn
In the numerous wrongs
See the rights
Thank the good
Be grateful for it
Make it a practice of a life time
Know you’re in a better space.

What feelings do you associate with the colour orange?
For me it’s an auspicious color of Optimism and enthusiasm.
Warm and welcoming
Energizing & radiant
Like a new dawn.
From the yellow orange
To the reddish orange
The tints and shades
Make a world of difference.
Thinking of an orange sun
Rising and setting
Marking day and night
But always hopegiving.

In the darkest hours
Stay strong in spirit
Sense the light within
Trust the light in you
To keep you hopeful
To see the light of dawn.

Every bit of sharing
Every bit of appreciation
Every bit of encouragement
Every bit of understanding
Every bit of inclusion
Every bit of validation
Matters a great deal
To some one somewhere
Nurturing hopefulness in living
Nourishing the nature of life.

Truly life is how you live it.
Your attitude your thoughts matter.
It truly is starkly different
The way we feel dark and dense in scarcity consciousness
The way we feel lightness of being in sensing abundance.
From ashes, to rising like a phoenix,
The power of hope changes destiny.
Limitless is the power of positive thoughts.
Thoughts of abundance opens up ways to explore more.
In moments of despair, it truly is about flipping the script in our heads to sense possibilities in the limitless potential.
Unending is the power of hope.
After all…
Day unto night
Dark unto light.
Hope is here to stay!

Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration.’
Carl Jung
On Dreams
Dreams have inate wisdom
Of your creative potency
Some dreams are vivid
Colourful almost surreal
Some simply black & white
But every dream connects you
Back to your self
There is much to understand
For what is, is not all.
Build the bridge to discover
There is so much to explore
So much more to dreams.
Dare to dream!

The very fact you are reading this
May change your perspective
All of what you interact or sense
Shifts and alters meanings.
You, as a reader & observer
Have the power in you.
You, matter to the whole
What matters to you
Matters to the whole.
Create a beautiful you,
You create a beautiful whole…
Here is why…
The core of particle physics
The truths of sacred geometry
The essence of prayer
The logics of yogic systems
The dynamics of integration
The beliefs of ancient wisdom.
The cosmic interconnects
Creation to destruction
Birth to regeneration
Order to disorder
Chaos to resurrection
Stillness & movements
Balance & harmony
Time , space & distance
All is a matter of energy.
The observer effects the observed.
All of life, the sun & the stars
The universe you are in
You are because they are
They are because you are.
Understand as an observer
You are playing a part
What you do with it
Is a choice in free will
The choice is with you.

Like a new dawn,
Trust new beginnings,
Renew hope, renew effort
Making it a day
Full of positivity & possibilities.
Step forward
With grit & gratitude
Each moment is special
Miracles happen in any moment.

Morning Musings
How beautiful it would be
If good deeds prevailed in practice.
If altruistic ways can become a norm
A way of life and living
If healthy collaboration became a driving force.
Yet…
Any change is never easy.
To change anything
It has to permeate the psyche
Of the mind in acceptance.
Then there is transformation.
Nothing lasting happens by force
For force gives way to another mightier force in time
Trust time in patience & perseverance.
Everything happens in time.
Time shows the way
As time has all the answers.

Belief is an act of invoking wisdom.
Trust in waiting is true acceptance.
Allowing is an act giving in faith
Receiving in humility balances the ego.
Trust and believe in the infinite abundance
Allow yourself to give and receive
Let your intentions be guided in goodwill and grace.
Abundance manifests!

All of creation has a purpose to its being.
It charts its course towards it.
If we are able to understand the reason for life is to be…
As it is meant to be
We will be more tolerant and inclusive
We will think before we speak
We will choose to see the good and nurture the good.
What we choose to notice life presents itself in many ways
As the way we choose to see the world
The world mirrors itself to us.
See the world with wonder and awe
Choose to respect and be responsible
Cultivate a sense of respect gratitude.
For the infinite abundance called life!
