Learning from a free spirit



Today I write about my dear and very loving father…

Perhaps the most uncomplicated man.

A paragon of the free spiritedness of a child.

He has an uncanny ability to be happy like a child.

What he desires are little things like a child.

Yes, he knows how to get what he  desires

But the happiness he feels & expresses, in the most ordinary things

That is his blessing of simplicity.


Life can be an epitome of adventure and adaptability.

It can challenge you & test your resilience & reserves

But to be able to be in touch with the inner child in you.

No matter how  life takes its toll on you

Is the strength in the vulnerability.



I dedicate these musings today to my eternally ‘young at heart’ father.

For from him, I have imbibed many beautiful learnings
Will share three, especially relevant here…

  • To be able to find happiness in the ordinary things.
  • To be able to stay hopeful, light & positive, no matter the density in the moment.
  • To think well of all and make way for happy thoughts and share goodwill.

  • God Bless You Dad!

    Dancing In Harmony





    Dance not to impress
    Dance to express 
    Dance for no one but you

    In the dance sometimes
    The dance begins to lead the way
    But know you choose the way.

    Choose to pause between the steps
    When you need to balance the self
    To dance again from the center of your being.




    You are the dance, the dance is in you
    But you must abide
    By the truth of your being

    If you dance without your soul
    Or if you dance without your spirit
    You feel empty as you are not there.

    Then you are not true to your purpose
    To express the way of your being.
    So tune in to authenticity.

    There may be many distractions
    Along the way of dancers dancing
    Different dances for different  reasons






    Every life has its own purpose
    Whats relevant to stay truly aligned
    To dance in harmony with your being.

    Circle of life & living





    Life and businesses

    Circle of life and living
    Nature leaves many lessons
    The falling  leaves
    Are an excellent metaphor…

    Learning to let go
    In  hope, trust and faith
    Of the balance the circle
    Is an indicator of the adaptability.


    Business is a big leap of faith
    In every business
    That has thrived  and survive
    Inspite of the changing seasons.



    Seeds to a plant
    Plant to a tree
    Trees begin maturing
    Like life is meant to flow….

    Buisness too are meant to grow
    As the processes are strengthened
    Nourishing &nurturing the foundation
    Harnessing synergies  in the energies.




    There is growth in the momentum.
    There are dependences and beliefs
    But like the nature of life
    Old has to make space for the new…



    To flourish and sustain
    The seasonal setbacks
    And survive the storms
    In the winds of changes.






    In the blooming and blossoming
    There in is the budding of new ideas
    Like ideas that flow by nurturing
    Life is meant to flow…by nature
    Such is the circle of life and living.


    These verses came forth after reading  a very thoughtful share by my dear friend @Ali Anani , who mentioned rightly so that the post might be of interest  to me…. so to him  dedicate this post in gratitude 🙏

    ARTISTRY OF CREATIVITY …

    Sharing one of my musings written  way back in time… came across it in my feeds.



    To me what is fascinating about the Artistry
    in the artist is the path he chooses
    to channelizes his Creativity .. ‘

    Every artist is unique ….

    Working in tandem with his own techinque

    Every stroke of the brush guided in the silence of a visual imagery

    Marks the stark passion in the heart of divinity

    Sculpting and painting the patterns with conviction

    With personal care beyond concern or consternation

    Blending in the tones and .. while sketching a grass blade

    Molding to the hues in every shade ….

    Life is a canvas colorful or otherwise

    Care to see the value beyond the price…

    Step into your harmonious self

    Nature of harmony is healing.

    Soothing sounds of the gentle waves

    Ease the inner recesses of the mind.

    Greenery growing in synchrony

    In spite of the abandonment of the wilderness,

    Calms the body and mind.

    The refreshing smell of the first rain

    Is truly invigorating to the spirit.

    All of nature when in balance

    Is a dance of harmony. 

    Align to this harmony.

    Sense the joy of the interconnection.

    Step into your harmonious self.

    Life & Living



    There is an art of life and living
    Be freehearted in giving.

    Sense every nuance of this now
    Express the love of life in this moment.




    Tune in to rhythms playing in life
    Like the dancer who dances
    Emoting through the movements
    Tuning into the  awareness in every step

    Dance with all of your being.



    Connect unabashedly
    Life and times move swiftly
    Regret never the moment lost in doubt
    Engage with this now passionately.



    You will give yourself the greatest gift
    The gift of living than simply existing.
    You will fulfill the purpose of your being.
    You will  make your life worth living

    Stepping out of our own way!



    We are magical beings in the flow.

    Such is the truth of creation.

    Yet, often we are blinded by our own self,

    Clouding our minds with the density

    Of thoughts and doubts.


    We are so full of ourselves,

    Our illusory pride and prejudices,

    Our assumed notions and convictions

    That we forget we are part of the infinite abundance,

    With immense potential in the possibilities.


    If only we can believe 

    In ourselves and choose to trust

    In the purpose of our being.


    Acknowledge with awareness

    The spirit of life and living,

    Choosing to thrive in the flow,

    Learning to allow and acknowledge

    The unfolding cosmic patterns

    By stepping out of our own way!

    On Giving





    We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” – Mother Teresa


    Love these words by Mother Teresa, a kind soul that showed the way of kindness in giving.

    Every single selfless act in devotion leaves the world feeling a little better than before…

    Yes there is much to do
    To make our world better
    There is so much left to improve
    Sometimes we are full of doubts
    About can we ever do enough
    Is what we share  or do,  right at all?






    No matter the doubts  simply share
    With all your heart ❤
    You are meant to do much, much more
    Than what you can even imagine.
    You will find yourself along the way.
    Share your gifts with joy in giving.
    And fulfil your purpose of being.

    Nature fascinates


    We explore it in unique ways
    Some of us lookup at the sky
    Admiring the infinite vastness
    Of spaces above and beyond

    Some of us look down  at the ground
    Preferring  to  dig deep into nature
    To witness the foundation  of living
    Exploring the very roots of the life


    Some choose to dream and envision
    What might be, in  hope for the morrow
    Some sit in stillness  witnessing their breath
    Knowing all the truths of life is within.

    Some prefer to dance with life
    In this now as it unfolds
    Accepting nature as it appears
    Preferring  to make best of its moments.

    We are…

    We are

    Grains of pulsating energy,

    Vibrantly dancing and emoting

    In the sands of time.

    We are

    Moving bodies reacting and responding,

    Patterning uniquely in every now

    To the tunes of the nature of life.

    We are

    So very fragile in the making,

    So very vulnerable in the sensing,

    Yet so very strengthened in the living.

    We are

    Fractal fields of energy transformation,

    Designing and redesigning ourselves,

    Giving purpose to life and living.

    The Journey



    As is above
    So is below
    Reflection speaks
    As is within.
    The journey of life
    Mirrors our way of being

    ‘In every moment of time care to be rooted to the stillness in your movements…
    Care to acknowledge gratefully this strength in the rootedness.’

    Expression

    In these times of uncertainty
    While you are making ends meet
    Have you looked up at all.
    Acknowledge to ones around you.

    Yes they are each unique
    Choose to communicate better.
    Listen actively
    Show empathy share a laugh.


    Indulge their words & build connection
    Between hearts in your home
    Stay humble not busy all the times
    Just to escape  making a connection.

    Your cellphones can wait
    It doesn’t  need your time
    Your book can wait
    They can be read later.


    But your loved ones
    Cant wait as their time is limited
    They need your expression
    They  need to feel loved.
    They need your attention.

    Express yourself
    While you can!
    And you certainly can!

    Strength of Perseverance




    The flower blooms from a seed
    In the power of  perseverance
    Because of its strength of purpose
    If you believe in your self

    You are meant to bloom in time.




    Stay determined and focus
    Believe you are capable
    No matter the situation
    Trust your inner reserve
    Waste not time in worry
    It doesn’t help any way.





    And lose not hope.
    You are meant to survive the odds
    Nothing is achieved by worrying.
    For patterns only get complicated.
    Keep up with your perseverance




    All said and done
    Know the strength within you

    And remember to touch base
    With your own soul song
    You have it all within
    Such is the power of Perseverance

    Two women



    Sharing a lovely piece of poetry

    Two women, two different roles
    The one who gave birth to me
    And the one I gave birth to.

    One gave all the love she had
    The other got all the love I had

    One strived in the life chosen for her
    The other – for the life she chose

    One made sure I didn’t have tears
    The other ensured I face my fears

    One hears my voice to know if am well
    The other can read my face and tell

    One had her eyes moist as she saw me go
    The other made my eyes moist as I let her go

    My past and my future when shall meet
    Will be a picture ever so complete
    Two women, two different roles

    If only I could be a little like them,
    The one who gave birth to me,
    And the one I gave birth to.

    Two women, two different roles.



    Can simply say

    Love is the bridge…
    Betwixt & Between

    Live life lovingly!❤

    Envisioning Beyond Labels



    In every experience there is always learning
    To move beyond the apparent
    Every concept is potential  in possibilities
    Such is life and creativity
    It is the way of nature in abundance…


    To be able to see the bigger picture
    To see beyond the niggling bits
    And envision the larger good
    Is the need of the hour. 


    So much of time, earth has borne
    The onslaught of man and his needs
    But its time to think beyond the self
    And move beyond  being bound by labels.


    Find ways together and seek
    Solutions than problems.
    For truly we are so much more
    Than the way we label ourselves…

    LETS MOVE BEYOND LABELS
    & KNOW THE POWER OF OUR BEING.
