Ladders that lead

I wrote this piece with respect for so many entrepreneurial spirits and their enterprise. Who catapult to fame and recognition but then often find themselves unable to sustain themselves. And the heart-wrenching truth is that not all have the resilience and the capability to bounce back.

But life is a circle and change is the order of nature.

In the toughest of rounds

Keep the faith and patience

And trust time to show the way…

Ladders that lead

The climb is a chase, but the fall is steep.
So persevere on beyond just the achievement.
Be tenacious in ascent & resilient in descent.

Ladders that lead you higher in the name of career success, fame and glory lead you to so much more than just that. As you climb each step gradually, you inch closer to your dreams.

You are chalking your life in every move. And then in the pinnacle of your success…
You realize you have reached your goal.

Here is the point of discernment
As you observe, check the signs around you
Are you ready to play the game of survival?
You will receive less warmth here than ever before.
Your colleagues will change their minds
Think twice before supporting you.
Fear not and keep on going
Stay mindful in the moment.

Ladders are meant to go up and down. If you have climbed up you must know to establish your survival modes else there is the ladder that brings you down.
But it’s twice much harder to bear, on the way down than the challenges you face on the way up.

What do you do when ladders do the disappearing act?

Sometimes the ladder vanishes
And there is no clear way to step down
Except for a blind leap of faith.
There may be darkness and uncertainty
Sadness and silence
Shame and blame
All devastating effects
Of loss and failure
Yet the trick is to go on
Correcting your ways
Learning from the experience
And letting go of past foibles.

Mistakes make you more aware
Hurt a little and you are cautious
In pain there is understanding
It’s what to watch out for!

Paths that may seem easy
May get you embroiled in complexities.
Watch yourself along the way
For the journey takes all of you!

You will encounter much support on the way up
But once you are catapulted into the halls of fame…

You will find many critics and judgments
From those watching with interest
How you are managing it from here.
With all those judgemental eyes on you
One slip is a sure fire miss and costs a lot!

Watch your every stepand move
For you are being followed
Here is where your resilience is tested!
Stay true to who are.
Look ahead as you trust yourself.
Paths can appear out of nowhere.✨🙏✨

Flow

There is commitment in attachment

There is contentment in letting go

For then…

There is connectedness to all

In freedom of the flow.

Wordpower

I pray…

Let the words that pour

Make a meaningful difference

Let the thoughts that flow

From these words empower

To create a change for the better

Zen of Oneness

In the unison
Of the mind& body
Is the integrity
Of the Spirit & Soul

Oneness eases itself
In alignment
In the divinity
Is the state of zen

Journey On

This poem is truly special to me. For one it was written during my first solo trip to Greece.

I am thankful to Spillwords.com for publishing my poem.

Much of what I describe here, I felt while I was there, as if I had been there, and I deeply sensed it all in that journey.

Journey on… 🙏

Uplifting words

I find this quote empowering in days when energy feels blue…

Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.
William Hazlitt

There is much power in words than we choose to acknowledge and accept

Often when our energies are imbalanced in one way or the other leading to stress, overthinking and despair. It helps to have uplifting words that motivate and inspire as well as balance our thoughts and deeds.

Sharing it with a smile and positivity it brings forth.✨😊✨

There comes a time

Creative capability

Art of creativity emanates from self belief in the creative capabilities within.


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

What sustains humanity?

Nature of humans
Nurtured in love
Seeding compassion
Watered in hope
Reared in kindness
Strengthened in trustfulness
Rooted in connectedness
Fortified in faith.
Sustains humanity.

Humanity

A few musings…

Where is humanity in this now?

What does it take for humanity to thrive?

How does it continue to thrive?

Touched by the grace of gratitude

Appeased in the love for life

Moving beyond the self in inclusivity

In thoughts, words and deeds.

Humanity continues to thrive…

In moments of humility, kindness & compassion

In help, care, support & empathy

And yet it takes us all

Each and every one of us

To consistently sustain our humanity.

On Silence

Silence is the language of the mind in introspection.
It is the language of self analyzation .
It gives one time for self improvement.
The pauses in between can change the course of the situation.
It has many meanings.
Silence is so powerful

When the mind becomes still
Learning to silence even this silent language
Then it fills the soul
With bliss n harmony.
It becomes
A celebration of Silence.

We are on track

We are on track
Nurturing humanity
In every moment
Through connections
Through art & creativity
To journey into the beyond
From nothing to something
To transcend beyond the mundane
Of notions and assumptions
To envision in empowering ways
Beyond rational thinking
To rediscover aesthetics of truth.

Travel on…

The journey of imagination
Takes me into the beyond
From nothing to something
From something to everything
And in this travel is limitlessness
In the abundance of possibilities
The unreachables & unattainables
Becoming sublime along the way
Traveling on, with the inate potential
Of infinite beginnings of imagination.

On purpose

Like every thing in the Universe
Has a reason to be…
Your purpose is intelligent
It is embedded in the flow
Such that it’s meant to be
To flow through you
Till you realize you are the flow
And you are enough for you!

Life the divine teacher

To the divine teacher
Called Life.
Who continues to teach
Until the lesson is learnt
Who tests us at the most unexpected moments.
In the many paths that lead us home
Who is the teacher of true meaning of freedom
From assumptions & limitations to true liberation
To develop our awareness & resilience.
To thrive on in this moment from now…
Namaste🙏
