Walking with the wind
With a heart full of peace
Flowing in the strength of the soul
Evolving in the spirit of love.
Let love be your guide
A companion that nurtures
Through the thick & thin
Let love nourish
Your spirit & soul
Anew for every season.

Between the lashes
There is the flame
Of the spirit burning bright
There is a window of the soul
Seeing in the envisioning
Of the betwixt & beyond
Both inside & outside
And making sense of it all.
The lashes are but a curtain
To open up to the wonders of the world…
For between the blink of the lashes
Lies the magic of sight.

Lovely lines that resonate with me deeply…
We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.
Haile Selassie
A few contemplations on the same lines…
Lets envision
Beyond borders
Marked on maps
Of human existence
To know we are far more
Than our notions & judgement
We are lifes assertions
In hope & faith
Of the expansive infinite
Thats inclusive of one & all
That every life on earth
Has a purpose & reason to be
Lets acknowledge
This truth of being humane
Than just human.
And beyond all that we must
Do and say in life & living
Let’s just be …

The road of learning
Is a layered pathway
Not traversed in a day
But a journey of exploration
Adding to the layers
Of knowledge in the seeking
Of wonder in the discovering
Unfolding multiple perspectives
Including possibilities in the flow
Unearthing more in the sharing
Learning is layers of experiences
Textured with every application
Toned with the river of time.
Savvy
In between moments of a frantic day
Or the restlessness of boredom
Its nice to settle in with a cup of your favourite beverage.
If not for anything else
Just to pause and gather yourself
It creates a space to ponder
And reflect in wonder
And in those moments
Its never dull and senseless
At times it even sparks an idea
Almost out of nowhere
In the association of thoughts
In the camaraderie shared
Every sip seems to soothe
And yet inspire some more
Now think of life too this way
Life is never meant to be rushed
Life is not life if it feels unloved
Take time to live it.
The way is yours to sense & create
The ingredients of a good life
Is the concoction of your choices.
What you make with it
Is what you are left with
Keep it inspirational.

Nature knows where to bloom.
But it knows when to bloom as well.
The seasons change
Signaling the cycle of life.
Signs of life evolving
The seeds planting itself firmly
Ensconced in a shell in patience
Until its time comes.
Simply know…
You are the light of that seed
Emerging in time
Beyond the doubts of limitations
Guided in the alchemy of soul
In the synchrony of spirit
Aligned in faith and self belief.
As the path unfolds in time
You find your way unto the self
As much as make sense of the beyond.
Journey on with passion for life
Towards finding the purpose
Bridging the emotions & actions
Creating harmony in the being
It is in such moments
The spirit blooms.
Savvy
A fantastical experience
A whimsical world
Makes for a great safespace
From the rigors of existence
Yet its not an escape
More, a choice of the moment
To be whimsical, unexpectedly so.
Where imagination is your ally
Spirited with a a little levity.
Emboldened by quirkiness
The ordinary seems extraordinary.
A spring in the step
A song on your lips
Lightness of spirit
Shines out your soul.
Savvy
Sink not into the mire
In doubts of despair
Choose to move yourself out
In thoughts words & deeds
Engage with your passions
Dedicate your time with purpose
Light in yourself a spark of fire
Choose to move through
And well beyond the mire.
Savvy
I know…
The power of grace
Is perfection personified
Restoring faith in the self.
Sensing perfect grace
In all that I feel, think & do.
In all times
I am whole and complete
In every step I take
I see beautiful ways
Unfolding for me
I choose the power of love
As I walk through it.
All is well.
Savvy
Please feel free to repeat this affirmation whenever you feel the need for some self care.
Compassion towards the self is a critically necessary part of self acceptance and acknowledgement through self-expression, channeling and releasing emotions constructively.
A note in gratitude to the self.
Every me that lived and loved
Every me that lost and gained
Every me that helped & healed
Every me that fumbled & failed
Every me that connected & cared
Every me that was tried & tested
Every me that trusted & trained
Every me that learned & learns
Every me in every movement
Every me of my past to present
I love with all my heart
In compassion & kindness.
I am grateful to all of me
Of the past present & future
being all that was,is, and will be.

Life echoes
In the space between & betwixt
There are patterns of existence
Mapping itself in the shaping .
Sense the sounds of life.
Affirming itself in the living
Echoes of resonance
Circling in the experiences
Spiraling and swiveling
Bending time & spaces
The magic of interconnections
Creating order in the chaos
Threading in the inter weaving
All in a stringed consciousness.
Savvy
There is a river within
That is flowing
On its own path
Coursing through the veins
Drawing from the souls well.
The well of the infinite
Unfolds many a paths
For the river to take
The river chooses its way
To flow on…
There is strength of the flow
In the movements
In the flexibility
In the adaptability
In supporting the body.
There is a journey onwards
Towards acknowledging
The purpose of the flow
The river perseveres
Until the moment of fulfillment…
When the river meets the sea.

The above AI imagery was prompted by me a while back in time… I just found a new interpretation to it today.
I wonder…
What constitutes a good read?
A prose, a poem
A verse, or a couplet
A stanza, a paragraph
A page in a book
That begins to draw our attention
Compelling us to read more…
Books 📚
Somewhere in our hearts
Emerge words of emotions
Birthed in feelings
We begin to identify with words
In the pages of the books we read
It starts to make sense
To connect us with ourselves
For a fleeting moment at times
Or it makes us linger on
For it takes us places & spaces
That matters much to us
Somewhere in our hearts 💕
Somewhere in our mind
We know a good book
We appreciate the substance
We allow the words we read
To touch of thoughts
To influence our life
It makes a difference
A positively impactful difference.

I came across a set of some very fancy words today …
And I immediately couldn’t resist finding the string of connection in them.
It all began, having a little reverie
Laying at early dawn, sensing the peiskos.
With open French windows
It was a gentle, zephyr morning
My heart was in a fika state.
Feeling the munificience
my thoughts were aliferous
As a philocalist of nature
It felt as if there was redemancy from nature
In the querencia of my being.
I enjoyed this little creative writing practice for today.
Yes,I must add some of these words were completely new to me that I checked their meanings. And some I have come across earlier .
I have highlighted all the words .If you enjoy this, feel free to string your own versions of verses incorporating all these words and share them below. Would love to read.

Go with the wind & fly free
Unafraid of the uncertainty
Sometimes, the chances you take
In going with the flow
You find yourself
Lost at first, maybe,
Yet, right where u are meant to be.
Think about it this way
Every way seems to make sense.
Fly free.
