Reaching out to the radiance
That lights my being
Feeling the magnificent way
The glow paves my path.
Seeing the grace unfold
In all its glorious resplendence
Aligning with its presence
In the breath I take.
Witnessing life transform
As darkness gives in to light
Sensing the space of lightness
As energy balances its flow.
Soul of my soul
Your omnipresence I revere
As you work your magic
Through me…

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.

Creative connects
As a dance instructor I remember a time more than a decade ago, I built a community of dance lovers who loved the connecting over a few moves every weekend. The tribe gew organically… as for all these lovers of dance, including me, the art of movements and sharing the creative passion… became a way of life.
I often sensed how much the times spent dancing together was a transformative experience. I also witnessed how many of them found friendships and supported each other through thick and thin.
Though I moved on to another city and began exploring and discovering many more interests in time, the times we all manage to connect again, even now always brings a joyful smile from the heart ❤️

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…

An open pathway beckons you
Across the threshold
See the horizon of hope
In the warmth of day light
Take a step forward in trust
It holds much promise
Glide onto the green fields
Let your spirit soar
And sense the spirit of freedom
To be all that you can be..

On Awareness
Between what was understood and what we understand, and what we are yet to understand, is the bridge of awareness in time.
Our shifting perspectives are simply signs of changes as we continue to flow in the river of time.

Our thoughts need space to grow
Sitting in silence
Sensing stillness
Witnessing the dance within.
As the thoughts settle
From chaos to calm
Give time to your thoughts
Countless thoughts birth itself
Some that makes you smile
Some that carry other emotions
Your thoughts have a reason to be
Let them come and go
Like nature evolves in time
Thoughts have a life time too.
Think well… Life blooms.
On blooming
Cultivate in your children a thinking mind
Guide them to steer it to a thoughtful mind
Cultivate in your children a grateful heart
Guide them to deeds of goodwill.
Their development begins with you
But remember the bud that blossoms to a flower
Support their journey that unfolds itself …
As every flower unfurls in its own time
Trust life to bloom.

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts
The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.
And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.
We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.
Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.
Make the way of peace
A way of life.

Your birth is not the only time you are born
You are born in every moment of awareness
You are born in every conscious breath.
You are born in the pain and the pleasures of living life.
You are born in every deed of compassion & kindness.
You are born in the joy of both inclusion and expansion.
You are born in the moments of heartfelt connections.
The truth is you can birth yourself in every now.
Align your breath with presence.

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…

One Good Word…
As readers and writers, we experience a dual bliss: the joy of discovering writing that deeply resonates, and the quiet fulfillment of reflecting on our own words and the connections they create.
It is a beautiful thing to share our creative gifts with the world. Yet, what is most profound is the heart of the person…reader or writer, alike who takes the moment to offer a word of kindness or appreciation. A single good word has the power to change someone’s day for the better.
Expression is a gentle pathway to healing. Whether it is a pen dancing across paper, a brush gliding with color, or feet tracing patterns upon the earth, the joy of movement is our shared thread.
Reaching out from within ourselves to share is not always easy, even if deeply fulfilling. It demands our energy, our time, and our vulnerable spirit. Yet to withhold our voices or suppress these expressions would be a tragic loss indeed.
It is truly inspiring to read, to write, and to honor the transformative power of words in all their creative manifestations.
What is one “good word” or simple phrase someone once shared with you that stayed in your heart when you needed it most?
If you ever find yourself belittled, unable to express yourself because you are stifled;
Remember…not to shrink.
Trust in your self.
Know there is always a space for you that allows you to grow and evolve
You and your presence matters.
Find your space.

There are times we sense, how words are sparks of light.
From life and lifetimes lived
Of learnings from being you
That is actually meant to light hearts
Near and far…
We simply need to trust, for words know and find their way.
Keep sparking & sharing your light ✨️ 🙏

This morning I started my day with a beautiful book gifted by my daughter to me called… ‘Light from many Lamps.
I was inspired just sensing the light of life in each chapter…
So yes, ‘Books are life’ and I have, had and hope I continue to have all the energy to read some more…
What is your recent read?

This life I am in,
Is beyond emotions & intellect.
Way beyond feelings & senses.
Beyond the pain & peace of the moment.
Beyond the pressures of life & living.
Hence I am not my peace.
And I am not my pain.
I am not the height of happiness.
I am not the depth of sorrows.
In the infinite resonance
In the dance of conscious awareness
A living spark of the cosmos.
