This poem will resonate with those in strong relationships that stands the test of time and yet may find themselves challenged and at crossroads with differences in thoughts and opinions. Pretty much most who have experienced life together will find themselves in such predicaments time and time again.
In relationships when you are unable to see eye to eye, where past misses surfaces or future expectations sideline the precious present, perhaps this poem can be a reminder of how far you have traveled together to reach here.
All is not lost just yet… if you could only meet in the middle. For the strongest relationships survive in empathic understanding of each other through the thick & thin.
Meet me in the middle, With an open mind, Set aside differences, We’re the same kind…
Today we may be at crossroads looking with a different lens But our hearts beat as one Like it used to, years ago. The feelings just the same…
So dearest one, sense it all Memories are meant To be revisited in time. Think of how far we have come And meet me not in the past Nor in the the future But right here in the middle Of this present now.
Every bit of matter In this now is integral To the whole of existence Every man made change Changes our world In more ways than one For subtle shifts of energy Can create massive environmental phenomena Altering the course of future. Isn’t it time to recognize The misses Alter the errors And pave the way For a more responsible Coexistence Life is a gift Let’s nurture nature.
Even a single step matters …
Let’s start with even one of the three things we all can easily do…
1. Grow native plants that survive and thrive easily and create an ecosystem that will improve the biodiversity.
2. Save water recycle waste water lets treat every drop of water as precious.
3. Water plants with water used for washing vegetables rice or lentils. Then not a single drop of water will be wasted .
PS : A simple take on life so far, and in witnessing life & the living around me. I know life cannot be summed up in a word and there is much I want to add for every decade… moreover some words I have described may be experienced earlier or later.
We are binded in fears, insecurity, and the illusions of separation
We are bound by dependence, both of heartfelt emotions and in the quest of our own ego for personal identity.
And we are also bound by our own mind, its so-called intellect, and the illusions that see the self as separate from others.
To understand the truth of oneness…
Life is experienced and with every challenge along the way we peel the layers of our rigid self, our ignorance, piercing these very illusions & misunderstandings to open us to the abundance of our infinite possibilities.
And so it goes until we realise life & the truth of oneness in all its profoundness of simplicity.
In raising awareness from the root to the tip, the blockages are opened and pure waves of energy reach the floodgates of consciousness only to spring forth the shower of divine bliss & abundance.
PS
Growing up, the regular recitation of ancient scriptures filled my home, sparking a lifelong curiosity to understand more.
This is my humble perspective in the exploration of the’ Lila’ of the vast ocean of ‘Lalitha Sahasranamam and its depths of transformative power’
Infinite is the power of this master science, its recitation invoking the energy of sounds, and its truths of recalibration and resetting life in sincere faith.
In time as a somatic &Reiki practitioner I sensed a correlation.
Reiki translates as freeflow universal life force energy that is channeled in and through this truth of oneness It flows where needed.
Drawing upon the symbolic wisdom in the interconnects of thoughts and action of light & sound, we can unravel the truths of oneness.
Meditative listening, chanting these energetic frequencies with the correct intonations can change and transform our path, shifting our mode from survival to restorative clarity.
An ocean is not always calm waves Its true nature is full of powerful currents. It’s not about resistance of errant waves It is in surfing in the midst of it.
When you find your anchor, You realize it’s not anywhere but within you. Your deepest truth is your stillness in the movements; In it lies your strength of flexibility. That’s true resilience.
And remembering movements are unique in themselves, Like one tide to the next, Each carries its energy waves differently. Every storm is meant to teach a new lesson: To dance with chaos, You realize, is to yield and adapt to the flow.
When I look back at the past few years, it really feels like we have all been learning a brand-new dance right in the middle of complete chaos. There were moments when the waves felt so massive and came so fast that it was incredibly easy to feel totally overwhelmed. But there is a simple, beautiful truth about being in deep water: you have to swim. If you stop moving, you drown. And that is exactly what you have been doing. Think about it…even on the days when you felt like you had absolutely no energy left, or when you couldn’t see the shore anywhere on the horizon, you still kept moving. You kept breathing. You didn’t give up.
When you are right in the thick of a storm, something incredible happens inside you. You find a way to move not just in spite of the chaos, but entirely beyond it. You discover an inner rhythm you didn’t even know you had. You realize that the storm might be incredibly loud, but it doesn’t get to decide who you are. Real strength isn’t about being tough like a brick wall. If a wall faces a strong enough force, it eventually cracks and breaks. True resilience is much softer and more fluid than that. It’s the ability to look at the messiness of life and say, “Okay, this is what is happening right now. How do I move with it?”
Every struggle we’ve faced over these last few years hasn’t just been difficult. It has been a teacher. It showed us that we are far more flexible, far more capable, and so much stronger than we ever gave ourselves credit for. Each day brings a slightly different kind of challenge. No two storms feel exactly the same. One day it’s a sudden setback, the next it’s just a wave of heavy exhaustion. Each one carries its own unique energy, and each one is trying to show us something new about our own capacity.
When you find that quiet space inside your own mind…that beautiful bit of stillness that stays calm no matter how loud the world gets…you stop drowning. Adapting to the flow isn’t giving up or surrendering. It is actually the truest alignment of your power. It’s choosing to surf the wave instead of letting it crash over you.
So if you are feeling tired today, or if the water feels a bit rough around you right now, take a deep breath. Remember how far you have already come. You are already swimming. You are already dancing. Trust that inner stillness, keep moving with the flow, and know that you have everything you need inside you to make it to the other side.
