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!

Cups of time
If every hour were to be a cup
That would hold what you pour
What what you pour into the cup?
If every cup were to be
As they are meant to be,
Which cups would be full?
And which stark empty?

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.

Life strings
We are strings of matter
Asserting ourselves in the giant spindle of time.
A string
Is meant to connect
It is also to be a bridge of bonding
Like a string of pearls
To string is to align with a purpose.
We are divinely connected in the subtler realms
To the infinite strings of matter.
Yet in the physical realm
We hold the strings to many
We pull these strings at times too lightly or forcefully
And what was meant to be for alignment , instead creates imbalances.
The strings we hold or latch onto
The strings that are passed into our hands
And the strings we want to control
All have a deep significance to the way we were are, we are and what our future will be…
Care to acknowledge our stringed existence in the interconnects.
Aspire to untangle the threads yet value the rootedness therein.
Aim to reach beyond the shackles of being
Unlearn to learn
Reach beyond knowing.
Life heals as its aligns and manifests the truth of its own potential.

Power of Water
Power of Water
Gentle yet forceful
Soft yet unstoppable
Focused no matter the fluidity
Carving streams eroding rocks
Strengthened in adaptability
Transformative in the flow.
Harness the power of the flow

A blessing in disguise
On Sensitivity
Every life is unique
And each of us on this planet
Have different personality traits
Our heart and mind is wired
In infinitely different ways.
An acknowledgment of the uniqueness to life
Makes us understand how valuable we each can be.
A little sensitivity goes a long way…
Although people cannot be compartmentalised
There are many ways nature and nurture impacts
Some hardened by life in resilience
Some suppress their emotions
Causing imbalances within
Some sensitive to sense the subtler energies
And Some who wear their heart on their sleeves
Expressing emotions and feelings away…
It can be challenging
For they also hurt easily.
For they sense a flood of emotions
They are often extremely receptive
As well as empathic in their sensing.
And often quick to understand
Perhaps they are blessed with subtlety
Of perception & awareness
With a highly developed intuition
For they are sensitive & emotional beings
They are who they are as they are.
Sensitivity can be blessing in disguise
Yet Sensitivity makes us humane
In the way we relate with the world
The planet needs sensitive souls
Who care a little more
Who sense and feel in empathic ways.
Let’s never discount this gift & virtue
In these sensitive souls.
For how we sense and feel
Affects what path and actions we choose to take.
And the world around is but a reflection of who we are

Be you
There is great power
In being yourself
You will know
You are enough
To be all that you are
Be you
That’s what u are meant to be
When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself,and in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will make a positive impact on this world.
All it takes is being the authentic you!

Happiness
A great share to remind yourself to check your current state of being. .
If only happiness can be summed up…
How easy it would seem!
But happiness can be elusive
When summoned it is often fleeting
But being able to take stock of your being
Will keep you aware
Of how much happiness is an inside job…

On Self Management
You have everything you need
To survive this journey of life
Your every doubt & confusion
Can find in you resolution…
Why search all around?
When the answers rests within
Seek if you must,
In faith & trustfulness
That you will receive
All that you need
At the ordained moment.

Treasure of happiness
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought.
Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
Lawrence G. Lovasik
Loved the message in the quote…Build a treasure of happiness.
The Power of the Heart
Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Power of the Heart
What is your kind of power?
Power of Influence
Where your charisma
And your words and behavior
Hold them in sway
And allows you to lead
Or is it Dominance
Where your overt assertion
Makes you take charge
Wherever you are
Do you lead with your heart
Or is it all about the mind
The way you weild your power
Speaks much of you as a person
Are you powerful enough
To let love be felt & expressed
To have patience in waiting
To listen keen to what’s unsaid
To know that being gentle is strength.
Always remember the path of the heart
Is far powerful than the mind.
For its far expansive it knows the way.

Bridge of learning
There is great wisdom
In the bridge of learning
Every move in our life
Is a prequel in the journey
Of living life in every now
A journey of learning
Has many moves
From exploration to action
From action to understanding
We learn from mistakes
From our own foibles
As much as others
There is a great many steps
To bridge the journey
Of our learnings in the living.
How much wisdom we imbibe
Is all in our intention
To apply the learnings
From our experiences
And understand some more.

On spirituality
How can we be more spiritually aware?
Allocating time for a daily practice of breath awareness through meditation
Bringing forth the value of Love in our relationships.
Sensing the strength of the interconnects.
Through cultivation of Gratitude,
Along with a practice of Empathy, which also aids in the development of emotional intelligence…
All these are stepping stones towards spirituality.

A Reason To Be
Sometimes you sense
Life taking you to places
Leading you to pathways Moving towards you.
Sometimes you notice
Signs that speak to you
Appearing and disappearing. From anywhere to nowhere.
It’s for you to understand
The significance of the signs
Now is the time to free your mind,
To listen in keen awareness,
And trust in the Universe There is always a reason
Nothing is coincidental.

Blossom as you are
A flower doesn’t stop being beautiful just because somebody walks by without noticing it, nor does it cease to be fragrant if its scent is taken for granted. The flower just continues to be its glorious self: elegant, graceful, and magnificent.
Our Mother Nature has provided us with these immeasurably valuable teachers that blossom despite their short lifespan, stars that continue to shine even if we fail to stare at them, and trees that don’t take it personally if we never bow down in gratitude for the oxygen they provide.
We also have an incredible and unlimited capacity to love, but the question is: Can we do it like a flower? Without needing to be admired, adored, or even noticed? Can we open our hearts completely to give, forgive, celebrate, and joyfully live our lives without hesitation or need for reciprocity?
It seems like sometimes we go beyond taking things personally and are noticeably deflated when unappreciated. In fact, devastated, we wilt in sorrow and then attempt to guard ourselves by withholding, using all sorts of protections and defenses. We get hurt (even angry) if our boss fails to recognize an astonishing feat, if a lover pulls their hand away, or when a friend forgets our birthday. Can you imagine a flower copping an attitude for not being praised, or the moon dimming its glow because we’re too self-absorbed to notice it more often?
Make an effort to shine NO MATTER WHAT, to love unconditionally, and to be a kind and gentle soul (even when nobody is watching).
And, if you’re so inclined, hug the next tree you see and say, “Thank you!”
