Creating energy in the synergy
Making the words come alive
Writing is literally magic…

Dawn paints the day
An interesting dawn
I woke up earlier than dawn today.
And positioned myself in my favorite space
To watch the glorious dawn
Before I could realise
A bright orange ball
Just popped up over the horizon…
It was as if the sun was in a hurry
To awaken the world & light the day.
As I just began to ease into the brilliance …
I saw the corner of the sun
Disappearing into the blanket of clouds
Looming large, to dull the senses once more…
The light is hidden now
From plain sight.
Do know the sun is up
There may be a lull in the now
But darkness is a passing cloud
Think of it, as moments to pause
In patience for light is on the other side
Awaiting its turn to light up your day.
And yes, before I could pen these words here…
The light of dawn paints the day.

Twilight
Twilight expresses the moment of change
In the most gentle of ways.
Change that allows
Change that accepts
Change that acknowledges…
that transition takes time.
It also holds moments of awe and wonder.
Yet change is rarely felt this way…
For change can be the difference
Between the dark and light
Of the night and day.
Humans are hardwired
To fear change in doubt and uncertainty
But change is the only constant.
However… humans are also wired in hope
To trust transitions of change is hopefulness
And hope is here to stay.

Who lifts you up?
Over the years
Living life teaches much.
Every person in your life
has an unique role to play.
Sometimes they are necessary for you
at times, you are necessary for them.
Life happens along the way,
leaving lessons fine.
Your emotional equation matters more than you think.
Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.
Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.
Choose your circle, its your right.
Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…
You have one life.
Choose well…

Who will don it?
It was like a painting
That I could not forget
In the streets of Paris
Where artists paint
In passionate fervour.
The stark shape of lines
Bold colors that speak
Of the creator’s confidence.
The play of contrasts
In the light & dark.
The arresting silhouette
Almost molded to form.
An awe-inspiring design.
Displayed in the window
It caught my eye…
The dress was mesmerizing
No, not in a delicate way
It was quite the opposite.
It spoke to me
Of a certain power play
It had me thinking
Who will don it?
Power in a dress?
A dress can do much for your confidence
You can own the dress and the world …
With the right kind of dress.
Would you agree?
And tell me…
When I started the above poem with the line
It was like a painting…
Did you think it could be about a dress ?
If you did…
Did you think of it as something that flowed with beauty?
And what else would your imagination associate with a beautiful painting, I would love to know.

Space for wisdom
Letting go of one’s space
Is not easy
For it is akin to relinquishment.
Knowing how time and space
And all the other elements
Are never the same again.
Yet these experiences
manifest themselves
In the journey of life
Perhaps one or many times
For in that kind of letting go,
The ego of knowing
And assuming dissolves
Yielding space for wisdom.
Like learning is also unlearning…
Wisdom is wise in its ways.
It prefers space
And room to evolve
For it knows only too well
What is, is not all…
Change is the only constant.
Evolving through it all
Wisdom finds its space to be.
Savvy
P.S.:
These verses found their way to flow, on a particularly quiet dawn in moments of contemplation.
Sensing how letting go is not easy in our clinging to the past, be it the wins
or misses and how wisdom needs space to evolve.
And most of all as a reminder that instead of holding on to the weight of the past, if we only could allow ourselves to be in the lightness of this now…
What is that one thought or habit you’ve had to “unlearn” recently to make room for something new?
I’d love to read your thoughts below.
River of time
How far have we come
From the many versions of ourselves
In this river of time
Where like water, that flows onwards
Time can never be visited backwards…
Only in memories
Held within the hearts & minds
Reminding us of the paths traveled in time.
Life continues to evolve in every now.
As life flows on …
Colouring itself
Along the way.
I share this above digital artwork here from back in time…when AI prompting and image creation was very nascent.

In the middle
Right here
In the middle
Lives transformation.
Change starts
In the middle of it all
In the feeling
In the awareness
That something
Is happening.
So, true transformation too is not a one off act in the edge of things or only where you are pushed to the extremes. True change for the better lives in the middle of consistent moments of effort coupled with awareness.
It could start right now in the middle of it all.
Are you here in this now?

The Plus Side.
Was reading an article today on how education today has become more and more transactional…and how it robs the learner of the critical thinking.
I share my musings…
When education is not a buisness
When learning is not about grades
When teaching is a passion than profession.
Where doubts, perspectives are welcomed
And not sidelined or ridiculed
When questions are not means to an end
Curiosity and wonder will find its purpose…
That I am fond of writing is nothing new after all these years of blogging and writing but as a child, I remember clearly when I was asked by a school teacher to read a famous poem and share its meaning in class I dared to share a new interpretation to it…that resonated with me.
The teacher then, was not open to a change of perspective… nor ready for a deep dive on why I saw it differently. She simply wanted to finish her work without deviation. I remember sitting down that day, without feedback.
But it didn’t stop me from wonder and writing…in fact I continued to write free verses in time till date.
I write this all, for I have shifted many schools in my childhood… as my father served in the Armed forces. I have seen upclose the good, bad and ugly side of schooling.
And the plus side is, it certainly has shaped me to be, adaptable and resilient as a person in time.
There is always the plus side…
What do you think ?

Who are you?
Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.
Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.
Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond speech, I am the breath that experiences life.
Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be. 🙏
Join in with me for a moment of alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole. 🙏
Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’

Light is meant to shine
The sky lights up
This morning
In ethereal light…
And in moments
It feels like twilight,
Where light seems engulfed
But it is already dawn.
Perhaps the sun is hidden
For a fleeting while,
Waiting for clouds to pass
Only to shine again.
In this moment
Of in-betweens,
Before light shines
Its brilliance again,
Let me take a moment
To feel the senses
Telling me to ease in to this now.
Breathe the cool wind
And pause to witness
The unfolding play
Of light of day.
The sun is patient
And humble,
Awaiting its turn…
Let me stay patient
And hopeful
In this play of light.
Light is meant to shine.
Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…
Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.

Walk in Light
Walk in Light
Why walk in shadows of dark
When light is iust around the bend.
Walk in light.
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.
Trust your inner light
To show you the way
Love the light,
That you actually are!

Art lives on…
An artist leaves much more
than creativity in the artwork.
There is a voice in every frame,
speaking deeply if you care to listen.
That voice carries the artist’s choices
of color and composition,
of style and strokes,
of moods and feelings
breathed into the birth of art.
The artist speaks through the work.
The energy of the artist is embedded
in words, in lines, in shapes and forms.
When a piece feels complete,
the artist releases it to the world.
And yet, the energy lives on,
transforming itself through time
and the spaces it inhabits.
Art is transformed again
in translation and interpretation,
reshaped by those who encounter it.
As creators, whether of images or words,
our work continues to live,
each viewer or reader sensing its energy uniquely.
And so it flows…
transforming itself in time.
