Every moment that we choose to shine as bright as we can,
We begin to sense the lightness in the being.
In sensing the blessings of light
Light reflects Light!

Waking Up To A New Day!
We are the thoughts we think,
We become believers of our ways
What we do today has always a reason.
But every dawn is full of hope
Awaken to sense its brightness
Care and accept the vividity
Allow space for light to enter.
Much changes in doing the above..
Wake up grateful for this new day!
Wake up hopeful of this new day!

Inks of Hope
In your deepest turmoil
Writing becomes a let out
Words sensed and inked
Can bring balance to living
Such is the power of writing.
When life and living
Leaves scars behind
The pen colours life with hope.
With freshness of perspective
Hope inks itself into existence
And life goes on…

Work from home
Should the Corporates Invade our Homes…?
A youngster was attending a video conference with his Manager who was upset over the background noises. The Youngster turned around and told his grandmother to keep quiet.
She walked towards the youngster, to take a look into what he was doing and saw a person on the Monitor and asked, “Who is he?”
The youngster muted his audio and video and said, “He is my Manager”.
She said, “I want to talk to your Manager”. But the youngster denied. By the time the Manager started pinging the youngster and the youngster unmuted to talk and his grandmother shouted, “Manager I want to talk to you”.
The Manager agreed and the youngster unmuted the video. The grandmother, with a smile said, “Namaste” and introduced herself and the Manager also greeted her.
She said, “You look upset”.
The Manager said, “Yeah, some kind of work tension, a lot of noise around your house and we are not able to complete the meeting in time”.
The Grand Mother asked, “May I help solve your problem?”
Her grandson was stopping her and telling her to keep quiet.
The Manager said, “It’s ok, let her speak”.
The Grandmother narrated, “Once there was a Young man, who sat under a tree for taking rest. He was continuously hearing a bird’s sound. He lifted his head and seeing a bird, started chasing it, so that he could peacefully take some rest. The bird came closer to him and said, “You are taking rest under my nest. I will not ask you to leave this place but you should learn to co-exist with us”.
The Grandmother looked at both of them and said, “Your Home is your nest” where you are supposed to take rest and bond with your dear and near ones. I do understand the Covid-19 situation, but you should also understand that our home is not your office.
*When we come to visit our family members at your office place, we are expected to behave professionally or maintain a certain decorum.*
Similarly, when you are using our home for your office work, you should understand the situation at our home.
There is nothing wrong with working from home, but remember, it is the family members benevolent nature, that is keeping the corporate world functioning today and the economy running.
She looked at the manager and asked, “Am I correct ?”
*The Manager’s mother peeped and said “You are absolutely right”.*
Words of wisdom
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.
The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.
And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God’s knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.
Kahlil Gibran…
One of my favorite writers with profound words of wisdom.
I had been introduced to his books as a teenager but have revisited his works especially ‘ The Prophet ‘ many times just to soak in the learnings.
Learning is best done in willingness & curiosity to explore the beyond.
Teaching is best done in understanding the learnings and the learner.
Learning never stops it is like a river that flows…
The teacher creates curiosity for learning takes you to the river banks of knowledge and then allows you to quench your thirst, assimilate the learning to expand your horizons of learning.

Finding the good…
These are certainly abilities worth cultivating :))
Ability to see the good is a great habit to cultivate
Ability to respect the people for who they are.
Ability to work with diversity of thoughts
Ability to coexist in peace and harmony.
Ability to generate goodwill whenever we can.
Ability to make light of things
Ability to dance in the rain
As much as in the lightness of being.

Learnings in Life.
I loved these lines …
On learning in life.
Life is blessed
In valuing the gifts we have,
In cultivation of skills we are enriched
And life is transformed in the choices we make.
Life is full of infinite learnings
Endless opportunities and possibilities …
Life is how we make it!

For the love of books
A book bound or otherwise
Is a treasure to an ardent reader
Who knows the emotions sensed,
In the company of a good book
Of times, well spent in the joy of reflections.
Reading is a beautiful voyage of discovery… of new learning and associations in assimilation.
Books, that transport us back and forth in time in a moment.
Books, that beckon us to a world of imagination.
Books, that create the magic of words
Books, that speak of truths and illusions
Books, that contain stories of life & living
Have you a favorite book that comes to mind immediately?

Cultivate space…
As we cultivate a space
Within and around us
To listen and observe
To understand and care.
We access the underlying wisdom
As we allow ourselves to notice
The ways of life and living
We come across fresh perspectives
When we allow ourselves to hear
The sounds of silence
We sense our feelings
We accept our emotions
And likewise..
We tune inwards a little more
In this conscious awareness
We practice…
To tap into our intuitive intelligence
In every cell of our being
Speaking through our senses.
To access the powers within.
All we need is to cultivate space.

Colours
Happy Holi…
Share the joy of colours so bright
As they merge and emerge
Creating happiness all around
Wishing all a beautiful life
Full of colours of love & peace
Full of positivity of spirit
And harmony in synchrony.
Celebrate the colours of life.

On Self Care & Compassion
A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day.
A string of such moments can change the course of your life.”
– Chris Gerner
This very relevant quote came my way & I simply had to share ❤
Soul wisdom
Yes the heart knows
What feels good for you…
Yet the Souls wisdom
Shows the way
If you choose to allow
The intuitive intelligence
To guide you towards
What is good for your being.
Allow and Listen to Sense
To learn more…

Centering
Align the self
Assimilate the learning
Acknowledge the lesson
Amplify your purpose
Accept your presence
Allow yourself to simply be

A dedication
Yesterday was Celebrated as World Poetry day
A dedication …

Wisdom from souls who know
Say angels fly, as they take themselves lightly
A matter of being at ease..so that you will traverse far
Fly knowing the roots are steady on the ground
Soar in the sky sensing the wind in your wings.
Stay on course… you will find yourself.
Life is better the moment you realise
Its value in every now.
So when worry and despair imbalances your thoughts
When anguish and self doubts rocks your self esteem
Rest assured it shall all pass and time will get you over the brink
Just care to have faith, ease up your thoughts
And choose to live, dancing lightly with life .
Resonated deeply with this lovely visual shared by Sanja Sremacki so resharing it along with my verses above as a dedication to this very beautiful reflection of ‘Living life in the lightness of being’.
