Happened to read a profound quote share of Lao Tzu, from
The Tao Teh Ching by my wonderful blogger friend Eddie Two Hawks here https://wp.me/p16fFF-6Ic
Here is my contemplation based on the quote
Close the doors..
Of the chaos of thoughts
Of unnecessary judgements
in the making
Close the doors…
Consciously in the noticing
In mindfulness than mindlessness &
overthinking.
This is the truth of meditation
In all its simplicity
And in all its profoundness.

To be happy, healthy and fully present in this now.
You simply need yourself
Committed to being all that you can be.
Work on your own self.
To be better than yesterday
Express your light of being
In ways that can make a positive difference.
Be happy as you can be
Know, you are enough for you.
As much as for the world
As you are creating positivity
In and around you.
Be happy.
Savvy.
Friendship…
Happens in the strangest of times
In an elevator, in a parking lot
In a bus, while walking or in flight
As a student or as a teacher
Friends may come and go
To make you live life a little better
Think a little deeper with care
Value these gifts strewn in your life.
Friends make you see your worth
Because they want you as you.
Not an imagined version of you
So be you as you are in friendship.
Find time for a good friend
Whenever you both sense and feel it
Turn not your back on them
Know, friends are coming your way
Embody the light of friendships
Savour the joy and nurture friends Time and time again
They can be yours for lifetimes.

To the truly determined
Opportunity unfolds
In the sustained effort.
To learn anything new
Needs dedicated determination
To understand beyond exploring.
In the will and perseverance
Arrives the point of knowing
And learning continues…
For the truly determined
Nothing can stop the learning.

In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…
Love is matter of perspective.
It can pick the color of one’s mood.
It can make us generous.
It can make us selfless.
It can make us strong.
It can protect.
It can bind us
It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings.
It can do magic and wonders.
It can make us feel light.
Another face of love
It can be possessive.
It can make us jealous.
It can make us angry.
It can make us weak
It can hide the loved one’s faults.
It can blind us
It can make us vengeful.
The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.
Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands.
Which face do you want to choose ?
Divine love can make you see light.
Embodying this light, keep the journey on.
The path will be illuminated.
The journey will be a blessing.
Keep the love and light in your heart,
To make this journey pleasant .
A poem by my mother Anjana
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?

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.
The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.
Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.
I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.
Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

Today is a new day…
Like a flowering tree blooming everyday, with hopeful buds
Make a promise to yourself to live and greet each day with enthusiasm.
Yesterday is gone by and today is a new day…
Let not your past
Come in the way
Of all that you are
Leave yesterday
And live today.
For your present
Is what matters
The past is lived
And this now
Is yours to live.

Sharing an interesting read that came my way today… Life is to thrive
One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal cried loudly for hours, while the farmer tried to find something to do to get him out.
Finally, the farmer decided that the donkey was old and the well was already dry and needed to be covered anyway; that it really wasn’t worth pulling the donkey out of the well..
He invited all his neighbors to come help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to throw dirt into the well.
The donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly loud. Then, to everyone’s surprise, he quieted down after a few shovelfuls of dirt.
The farmer finally looked down into the well and was amazed at what he saw… with each shovelful of dirt, the donkey was doing something incredible: It was shaking off the dirt and stepping on top of the dirt.
Very soon everyone saw surprised how the donkey reached the mouth of the well, went over the edge and trotted out…
Life is going to throw dirt at you, all kinds of dirt… the trick to getting out of the hole is to shake it off and use it to step up. Each of our problems is a step up. We can get out of the deepest holes if we don’t give up…
Use the land they throw you to get ahead!!!
Remember the 5 rules to be happy:

Keep the flame burning bright
Rise up to the moment at hand
Have hope feed the faith
For the day is not done.

Your yesterday may have seemed very tough
Your entire body may have taken a toll
Your head and heart may have felt heavy
Your eyes may have welled up in tears
Your emotions choking you
Your breathing may have been constricted
Your muscles may have felt tight. Your steps laboured and dragging
Perhaps a sense of resignment may have reigned all through the day…
Yes it may have been more than you could handle
But handle you did
For you are alive and kicking.
Today your heart is lighter
And you are breathing easy
With a song on your lips
And a dance in your steps
Your body willing
And in enthusiastic spirit Looking forward to another day
To put in your very best
And make it another great day!
The question is then, what is happening in you, one moment to another
And what are you doing to alter the effects of the moment.
And what actually alters everything.
Simply put, your own thoughts
And the power of your choice
Choosing one thought over the other.
Trust life to show many colours every day but know you have the choice in how you choose see and perceive it.
Every day can be good or bad day…
But it’s in the way you chose see it… That changes the day!
