Body wisdom

Your energy is yours to protect

Shield it with love and forgiveness

Allow happy thoughts

Let go the unnecessary frictions

If you find yourself  too exhausted  by anothers energy

Too consumed in every interaction…

Where you feel depleted and worn out

May be it is time to move away  and balance your energy

Most of all listen to your body…

How do you feel after any interaction with someone

Energetic  or depleted

The signs are there for a reason

Choose your path well

Think well. Do well. Be well.

Spirit of Life

Truth is free

Mind controls.

Life is free to be

Living contains

And the spirit

Frees the soul.

In quiet perseverance

Meet not force with force.

It is futile and destructive.

Meet force with fluidity and  flexibility,

In quiet perseverance.

In adaptability than rigidity.

For even brute force buckles in time.

Celebrate you

The day you realize
Your potential
You begin to explore possibilities
And you even make
The impossible possible.

Care to ask yourself…
Are you safeguarding your boundaries
Or being too accepting
That you tolerate more than you truly should.
What are you hoping for?
Is it approval and validation
Are you waiting for another
To take the step?
Perhaps you need to celebrate You.
Who you are! As you are…

Space

The concept of having space

Between things is a wisdom

A wisdom that creates  balance.

Between thoughts

Between words.

Between songs are silent spaces

Between breaths exist space that bridges the inhale and exhale.

Between life

Be it trees , flowers or animals

Space allows it to grow…

Between people

Space allows for freedom to be to express and share

Boundaries create respect and safety

Creating healthy relationships.  

Allowing for rest and regenerate

With peace of mind, body and spirit.

A question  then arises…

How much space do you need

To protect your peace?

And how much space do you give

To sustain the peace?

What a difference a day can make…

From the darkness of night

Emerges the light of dawn.

From the brink of despair

Rises a ray of hope.

When all feels lost in a maze

A way out appears somehow

When doubts creeps in the cracks

Trust opens the heart in faith

When you realise how much can be at stake

You value the gift of another day.

What a difference a day can make…

Space…

Space.

Space allows.

Space that expands

Space that acknowledges you.

Space that lets you be.

Space that opens up for you

Space that speaks to you in you.

Space that listens as it speaks

Space that evolves you

Space for growth and learning

Space that liberates

Space frees

Space.

I wrote this piece in a flow…

In a space of calm.

I enjoyed  writing it  as I began  playing with space in and around the poem  unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.

I hope you enjoy reading it.

Strength of tenderness

Being tender in the toughest of times

Being gentle and generous with the self

In times of chaos and conflicts

In and around us

Is the way of weathering-the-storms.

Being caring and compassionate

In thoughts words and deeds.

With empathy that empowers

In light and goodwill.

Is the way of gentle heart

Flowing in loving kindness.

Flowing with life lovingly

Everything is in this now

Who am I in this now,

Matters more than ever before

For tomorow that is yet to arrive.

Instead of mulling over

Uncertainties of life

Disappointments & falls

Rise in this moment.

Ask the self

Who am I in this now?

Whatever and however this moment presents…

Am I able to look at what is?

Meet it with composure?

What are my kind of choices ?

Am I reacting or responding  

In this now of my life?

Perhaps in this vulnerable space

With the truths of my being,

I sense myself growing

From and out of every  experience.

That teaches me to listen

Allowing me to flow with life

Making sense, along the way.

Knowing in my heart

That I am not a stagnant pond

Nor a stone refusing to roll.

For rolling stones gather no moss

I flow with lightness

Living life lovingly.

When compassion radiates…

Conscious compassionate thoughts within become embedded in the core structure of the being, and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength.”

In retrospect…

Chase not, the shiniest

For it often lose their sheen

Choose consistency over hype

It makes a mark in time.

What shines today

May become dull tommorow

What perseveres every day

May turn reliable in the long run .

Chase not, the loudest proclaims

It often ends up as a whimper

Choose the steadiness of approach

That often becomes substantial.

Chase not, the charmer

They often turn out fake.

To smile without heartbreak

Choose the one with humor…

And  keep humor alive in your heart…

Spirit of Humans

Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world

Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles

For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…

For others it may be personal

And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.


Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.

Just another tree?

Roads of Goa

Don’t know you 

How you live and breathe

In these nondescript pathway.

Yet here you are

Vividly present

Colouring the blue sky

With blossoms of contrasts.

Mature trunk and verdant   leaves

You strike a pose 

You hold a  stance 

In your unique way.

I see you dear tree

Grateful for your being

For you nurtured many lives

Seen many a solar cycles.

I bless you with all my heart

For healing this world…

For the world may be

You are just another tree

For me you live vibrantly

Evergreen in my memories.

A sight to behold

A vision to thank 

In recognition and  gratitude

For your impactful presence🙏

A trip down memory lane.

An unexpected yet beautiful burst of colour contrasting the bright blue sky  prompted me to click a photo in a split second, enroute a road trip to Goa a few years ago…

P.S.

Sharing some amazing facts about the positive ecological impacts from one fully mature tree, that I came across.

Key Environmental & Ecological Impacts

  • ​Natural Climate Control: Through evapotranspiration and shade, one healthy mature tree provides a net cooling effect equal to 10 room-sized air conditioners running 20 hours a day. This can lower local microclimate temperatures by up to 3°F–5°F.
  • ​Carbon Vault: A single tree absorbs roughly 48 pounds (22 kg) of CO₂ per year. Over a 40-year lifespan, it locks away nearly 1 metric ton of atmospheric carbon in its trunk, roots, and surrounding soil.
  • ​Oxygen Generation: One fully grown, leafy tree generates enough net oxygen per year to sustain 2 to 4 human beings.
  • ​Hydrological Shield: A single mature canopy can intercept and soak up 2,300 gallons of stormwater runoff per year. Its root network stabilizes topsoil against erosion while filtering heavy metals and synthetic pollutants before water enters local aquifers.
  • ​Air Filtration: Leaves and bark actively trap particulate matter (PM2.5) while absorbing gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, and sulfur dioxide—removing dozens of pounds of air pollutants annually.
  • Biodiversity Anchor: A single native tree (such as an oak) can support over 500 distinct species of insects, birds, mosses, and beneficial microorganisms, functioning as a self-contained ecosystem.

That I am fond of trees is nothing new… I have written many verses on trees before as well, yet in here I share a message close to my heart…

Nurture nature Nurture trees.

You are doing an important  service to help support self sustaining powerhouse of oxygen to our planet.
