Songs of the soul

Words flow, as if they are meant to
Everything that is has a reason why
How they come be and for what
Is also it’s own doing in time.

In bits and pieces in the moments
In a downpour like  in a storm
As a spark to ignite hope in the dark
To shed light on the invisible.

Words that flow through you
Arrive in the sensing in clarity
And at times vague from nowhere
In verses, prose or lyrics

In a particular pattern
That seems to self arrange
For only those who it matters
Perhaps afor it to be seen and heard

Words live on in their hearts
As songs of their soul
It makes sense to those who care
To read it in their own way…

Strength of a circle

There is great power in a circle that is inclusive and expansive.

Speaking of organizations a clear organisational structure helps to understand the relations of positions in an organisation with respect to position and authority. There are many ways that organisations are structured and each have their own pros and cons. Traditional flat structure to pyramid, circular to modern network structures etc. The value of taking the right structural approach in building organisations cannot be undermined.

The strength of circles:

The circle appears hierarchical with its power core and expansive with concentric spread of power yet its very strength is in its form that helps align values in teams.

For transformative change to align with the core values, trust and transparency is paramount to foster and this needs an inclusive and expansive approach inside out in a circular manner that is consistent to sustain. The organisation needs to support a circular structure with open door policies on communication, and work on learning and development to create accessible training programmes across the spectrum.

The circular structure has a clear psychological advantage in the form itself as leaders are not positioned at the top, making it easier for the vision accessible for one and all, thus increasing collaboration as it considers  different departments as part of the same whole.

There are infinite  possibilities of growth, in a circle of team, increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and engagement of human potential, in the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.

Conscious circles

The wall of the mind
Is in each of us to forge through…
In valuing the space between
Two thoughts, two steps or two notes.


In choosing harmony of  synchrony
In conscious awareness
In discerning thoughts & associations.
In response than reaction
In connecting the dots.
In realizing the grace of unity.


All is in sensing the strength
Of the circle of conscious connections.

Heal as you write

Poetry is a brilliant trickster
As much a true friend
For it masks the truth cleverly in words
As much as it heals away in the expressions.


In the letting go of  dense emotions
Is the channeling towards balance
To the lightness of being
Where there is space created
In between thoughts and actions
For more cathartic connections.

Poetry revives the spirit of the soul
Through soulful words that flow
Out of nowhere explicable
For it has a purpose of its own
In trust know, that it finds itself
The path its meant to be.

Be it poetry or prose, fiction or non fiction, words can be the gamechanger.

How many of you writers agree?

Power of a Seed

The seed looked up

At the mighty tree in awe

Wondering how it will grow to thrive

And how it will survive in time.

The tree rustled its leaves

In the gentle breeze

Sharing the tender touch

Of the nurturing wind

As if to remind the little seed…

Every mighty tree around

Was once a tiny seed

Blowing in the very same wind

That grew through the seasons

Weathering life’s storms

Learning how to bend and not break

So that it could grow one day

To its fullest potential

Testimony to the power of a planted seed.

Every tree is rooted with a message

Never underestimate the power within

Keep the faith and trust yourself!

Meet life.

Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows

Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why

And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.

A quick question.

Just a quick question…

How many of you writers, have felt people equating your creative writing with your life?

As a writer I do know that creativity comes up in the most unexpected moments. It may have or not at all have anything to your own experiences. Much of the creative process can happen in attention to details as a keen observer, in witness mode , in associations of thoughts and feelings and in sensing emotions in empathy, concern or care, that may have or not have any personal connotations.

Writing is the freedom of expression in flights of imagination, its a beautiful art and that is free for interpretation once it has been published. For the writer has chosen to let it go…

How it came to be, is a mystery sometimes to the Author too😉

Tune in

As you dance
Tapping your toes
To your own heartbeats
Life senses your rhythm
And waltzes along with you,

The joy of life
Manifests itself
Tuning into the melody of the harmony.
Creating music that beats in the synchrony.

Faith Love Truth

Master your mind they say

Before it masters you

Acknowledge the truths of life

For mind is full of thoughts

Creating countless thoughts

Know the value of mindfulness

Being mindful is about self awareness

To master the mind

Master your thoughts

Become aware of this now.

Whatever is this moment

Sense it and you breathe in it

Feel it and be alive in it

For the truth is in every moment

What you decide to do in this now

Has power to change and rearrange

Your state of being.

Life is precious

Have faith and trust

Stay hopeful in every breath.

For the truth is you can.

After all the mind works

On what you feed it.

Being alive

Being alive and having life
Are two different things
All have a life
Many acknowledge it
Few live it with will
But far few live it with love
Life is life after all
It’s in you
How you choose to live.
Life is for you to acknowledge
Know you have this one life
Care to live life lovingly?

Tapping into Creativity

An artist may give a shape to thoughts, its destiny is the result of the bubbles of thoughts in the connected flow.

Creativity is in each of us. We are blessed with much we are yet to understand.

Often we neglect the creative side in each of us and don’t find ourselves expressing it away, but tapping into it can open portals of yet unknown possibilities in each of us. And most of all gives us the courage to explore and embrace the unknown.

A Great Leader Knows…

Great leaders know…
It’s about listening, observing identifying and then empowering & developing middle managers to be great leaders of tommorow.

It’s about rewarding people for the right reasons.
And understanding what gets people to work together.

And then creating and sustainable atmosphere for them to work well together.

It’s about finding time to understand the context of what is. And being able to not only envision the big picture but also project it with authenticity and powerfully so.

For in the many small moments of the day there appears many random tests for a leader.

Leadership is not about making everyone like each other. But about making them understand that it takes all of them to be a consistent and collaborative team players.

And most of all getting every one knowing why they are there and clarifying in simple words what the organization is trying to do.

There is a beautiful saying that goes…’ It’s not about having a team of stars
But about having a star team’

And great leaders create star teams…

Walk in light

Why walk in shadows of dark
When light  is just 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!

On happiness

Everyone has a different idea of true happiness.

What do you think you need to be truly happy?

Is it love?

Is it hope?

Is it purpose?

Is it inclusion?

Is it health?

Is it material or non material?

I do think happiness is an inside job.

We are responsible for our happiness.

Feel free to share your thoughts on happiness.

Language of love

Words are mere words

Trying to justify the senses

A tool for expression

Language has its own limitations

And what to speak of love

For love is limitless

In its depth of feeling

Expansive in its reaching

Far beyond words in the knowing.

Language of love

Is best spoken sensed

From one heart to another

And what to speak of mother’s love

Unconditional in its flow

Sensed and known without a word

A bliss in the bless.

Pure and precious.
