Stringing words

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.

Let yourself fly…

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.

On Creativity

Art of creativity
Is to acknowledge
The flow of possibilities
Shaping seemingly
Lifeless matter
To birthing life in art

Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.

To train the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge in confidence
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of infinite creative capabilities.

P.s : I enjoyed painting this Art work above. It was created  by me on my phone while traveling  somewhere in Europe.

Limitless being

Unframe & Reframe

Breakthroughs happen 

In the unframing.

As you break through limiting yourself

From cycles of conditioning

You will realize the truths

Of your potential.

You are far more

Than you allow yourself

To believe.

So move beyond

Cycles of limitations

Choose to  rise above & see beyond

And over the challenges

Change the narrative

Reframe your thoughts

You are more than you know now

Sustain yourself

To find your limitless being.

Brew the bonds

Bonds that last

Are brewed in time

Simmered in the scorching of life

Infused in the palette of senses

Softened in the brushes of love

Textured in the treasure of experiences.

Blended in balance of emotions

Wafting through in the tasting

Every sip connects deeper

Strengthening the spirit

Awakening the feelings

Bonding in the being

In this now & forever.

Healing in your hands

Tap away the voice in your head.
Tap into your own healing touch.
Tap away the doubt and hesitation.
Tap into the ray of light.

Tap away the fear and confusion.
Tap into self-confidence and dare.
Tap away anger and disconnect.
Tap into your inner wisdom.

Tap away mindless distractions.
Tap into your inner silence.
Tap away the ego that bounds you
Tap into the dark spaces & let light in.

Yes, tapping away and tapping into, is a critical holistic skill for a more balanced life. While it’s not as easy as it sounds , for tapping away and into your healing energy can be both an emotional experience, yet the body regenerates itself in the journey of love & light.

The choice is yours to take

Crossing over
Bridges of time
Beginning to end
Ending to begin again
In body spirit & souls
Infinite forms of expressions
Between betwixt & beyond
Bonding new & old
In part & whole
Tuning into the sounds
Of harmony & rhythm
Inexplicable joys
Of moments in movements
As paths are splayed
Across time to tide over
In every moment
The choice is yours to take.

A ladder

A ladder is a link

A point of interconnections

A bridge between two sides

Between two opposites.

A ladder is not always to climb

A ladder leads you to connect

But the choice is yours

If you want to lead or be led by it.

Climb the ladder with confidence

Continue to bridge over challenges

Meet the changes with integrity

Dare the new horizons in hope.

How is the weather today?

Peace of calm
Ease of soul
Are two things I sense
In these serene morning moments
Whether it’s the weather here
A gentle breeze & blissful cool
Adding to it all, I know not
But it’s a wonderful start…

How is the weather today ?

Form & the Formless

Art by Savvy Raj

Is the form you see
Exactly the form I see
Perhaps they differ
In the way we choose to interpret.

Is form the mark of reality
Does being formless makes it unreal
Is form the contention
To know the real and unreal.

Forms are shaped by intentions
In dedication & deliberation.
For forms become fleeting memories
Perishing in the sands of time.

While the formless evolves in the heart
Holding up to unfathomable faith
They may live on in the silent knowing
Of unspoken trust in the being.

Discernment of the forms
In the inner recesses of the heart and the mind
Waltzes the consciousness of the being
In States of knowing ,of the truth of light

A light of wisdom
That takes many forms
Million times over
To show the path of truth.

The path is lit
As the steps are taken
The forms manifest in the interactions
Of vibrations in resonance.

Between these Illuminating illusions
Of the form and formless
What is real and unreal
All are just reflections in the dimensions.

In the beam of even one moment of truth
Is the convergence of envisioning
Forms and formless become one
Conveying the message safely home.

Mind

Today am happy to share an introspective piece of poetry by my mother Anjana.

Mind
The strange , invisible me
Playing me like a puppet
In its hands.

All of a sudden
When in a group of happy hearts
The neurons in my grey cells suddenly switch
some remote thoughts
Buried deep in my memory folds .
And lo,
amidst the laughter and gaiety
I shrink to my own self,
Away from this Now n Joy.

Amidst a mourning group,
Or sad events,
It strings the tune of
Blessed moments
Making me smile within myself.

How powerful are
The seeds of thoughts
Arising from the depth of mind
Controlling my
moods, words and actions.

It makes me dance to its tunes.
I become a slave to its
Whims and fancies
Losing control of my own self
And repenting later.

All happens in spite of
learning about
awareness and detachment.
When I will learn to tame
The wild horse,
And become the master from slave.?

Reminiscences

A street of yesterday
comes to mind
echoes of children’s laughter
Sipping on a juicy cola bar right out of school.

A fruit seller with ripe berries
outside the school
Children thronging around
buying berries from pocket money.
How inexpensive was the joys of then!
On the other end of the street
was their ever popular mango seller,
selling spicy salted raw mango slices,
all mouth watering delight of then.
And yes, the memories of the temple lane right across
lined with tiny flowers shops
Scents of fresh fragrance of flowers wafting in …
Reminiscences of life, so non-fussy & simple.

Fragile frames

I sense hope every time I see a fragile flower. Mistake not, the flower as fragile for in its blooming from a bud it has resilience  writ large in every petal .Projecting hope majestically it withstands  the day come rain or sun 

Every flower is a powerful yet graceful testament of hope & strength springing fresh from the earth.

Speaking of Power…

Power is often mistaken to be loud and aggressive,  but often it is the quiet, the silent rebellion that has the most effect. 

Mistake not the fragile as weak

For often, there is great strength

In those fragile frames.

Proving time and time again

It is not the weight you carry

But in how you carry & project it.

What do you think ?

Waltz on water

Floating Dreams

I had this beautiful dream
Of flaming ruby red lights
Dancing on blue waves of water
Floating lanterns all afire
As the fire burns brighter
The flickering lights
Waltzing on water…
