Capture of Whispers
As the brush strokes the canvas
It captures the artists essence
From the whispers of the heart
To the directions of the mind
Different strokes may appear
With the same thoughts
Different thoughts may arise
From the same strokes.
What whispers will art capture today?

Power of Self Belief
I gave myself permission to feel and experience all of my emotions. In order to do that, I had to stop being afraid to feel. In order to do that, I taught myself to believe that no matter what I felt or what happened when I felt it, I would be okay.
Iyanla Vanzant
I love this powerful quote. It speaks to me of the strength within. Of valuing every emotion and it’s expression for what it is.
And most of all the strength of self belief in self assurance that all is well no matter what happens. It helps to be in touch with your feelings and make it your friend.
Whatever you feel is a way of channelizing your emotions. It heals you through expressions. It helps to acknowledge your emotions.
As you understand your emotions and feelings you become more self aware in life’s situations. It gives you the necessary strength and intelligence to tide through the rough times.
When your self-belief is strong, and faith is deep, nothing can rock your boat.

Writer & Words
The paper is where it is
On it the pen moves
Driven by the hand
The fingers of writer
Holding the pen
Waltzing on paper
Shaping thoughts
In a flow all its own.
And the soul & spirit
Of the writer imprints
For eternity…

Souls Purpose
A writers soul emerges through the words written .
A painters soul emanates from between the colours in the canvas
The potters soul is afire in the fingers shaping the clay.
The singers soul breathes in the sounds created by the voice.
The dancers soul flows through in every movement in the moments.
The Soul is a restless wanderer
It breathes free not in captivity,
But in every movement of creation.
It cannot be fathomed or even sensed
Other than in the light of passion in the being.
For then the soul shines in its own light
For it has found its purpose of being.

Good Reminder
Sharing a social media forward
You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you, And making you
Spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? You spilled the coffee because there
was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. The point is
whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It’s easy to fake it, until you get rattled. So, we have to ask ourselves, “What’s
my cup?”
When life gets tough, what spills out? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility? Or does
anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions come out?
You choose! Today let’s work
towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, kindness
gentleness and love for others.
Good Reminder for one and all.
In making conscious choices.
Filling my cup with gratitude
Sensing joy and love
Choosing forgiveness
Expressions in gentleness
And affirming in kindness
For my choices matter...
To me & the world around me.

Sensing Light
Light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light in you.

Conduits of Divinity
We are beings of light
The light of the divine
Interconnects us all
Exchanging energy
Of the Universe in the flow
In our body our hands
Play a part in the exchange
Reaching out to help heal
They are Conduits of Divinity
In the fluidity of the flow
Helping heal and align
And manifest in prayer.
In the realms of spirit and soul
Divinity channels itself
Through portals of our being
In the awareness of Oneness.

BENEFIT OF DOUBT
Sometimes life makes you teach yourself many things…
Giving the benefit of doubt
There are many crossroads in life be it in a career with any organisation or in partnerships, or even personally between people or teams, where point of views are different and clash of perspectives on decisions are bound to occur.
Can you agree to disagree?
For most, it is challenging as its not always easy to come to terms with what affects you or makes you emotional. Yet learning ways to give the benefit of doubt, calls for development of strategic skills.
It is important to process any conflict of interest, you may have with others , first with your own self.
Check if you can find the root of your disagreement with a particular decision.
What is it that you are not aligned with?
Why are you feeling this way?
Empathic Perspectives
Then begin to imagine if you are able to bring empathy by setting aside your feelings on what you are yet unable to accept and think from the other persons perspective, does the view alter then? Does it change your thoughts a bit?
If you can alternatively, also think if you choose to agree, in the larger interest, does it benefit or can it make your team bond together.
Let’s also not discount the possibility of you having less information about the reasons for any decision taken.
Ultimately, whatever way you chose to think or act is your choice to take. But sometimes when it may seem impossible to make sense of things do remember, there is always more than what meets the eye!

On Actions & Awareness
‘The silence between our actions or movements becomes the bridge to our conscious experiences. The greater our awareness, the greater the creative potency of the action itself.
Savvy
Putting things in Perspective
Any time I catch myself complain about life…there is a beautiful line by Abraham Lincoln to put things back in perspective ..
“We can complain that the rose bushes have thorns. Or we can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses.”
Life is in the way you see it!

Power of Sounds
There is something about sound
That the world again is waking up to these days…
Wherever you go
You hear the sounds of music
Healing through harmony
And the magic in the melodies.
Reviving and regenerating us
All is in the energy of the sounds.
Sounds that move us within & beyond
All effects of resonance in our cells
Sensing the sounds in stillness
Sensing in the movements too…
Music heals the spirit & soul.
Such is the power of sound.

Unbound…
Borders marked on maps
In time get etched onto our minds
But our heart knows not borders
Hope the heart leads
For then, the way appears
To bond without being bound
To fly free like a bird.
Unbound…

Sometimes comments to your posts can be a fodder for thoughts in synthesis…
I thank my good friend Fredrick from Katiemiafrederick.wordpress.com for the inspiring comment 🕊️🙏🕊️ on my yesterdays blog In flights of fancy /
A part of this poem began as a reply comment that turned into a post.
Keep refilling
You can never give from an
empty cup.
So keep refreshing
knowledge and understanding
Make sure to breathe easy so
that you are not getting
engulfed in trying to find
solutions for another.
Exercise equanimity and trust
yourself to deliver.
Most importantly take care of
yourself.
Enjoy the work you do!
And give your very best.
It will certainly bring results.
How to keep refilling your cup…to stay updated.
Many ways.
. Be open to possibilities and perspectives
. Stay humble and sense your foot on the ground… Remember anyone can be a teacher.
. Choose to balance work and play. Respect your time and use it wisely.
. Stay curious. Keep your inner child alive
. Pause to rest and recover when you feel overwhelmed.
. Choose health and happiness.
Keep your self nourished.Self care isn’t selfish.
Do share what ways you keep updating yourself.

A free flow…
An experimental poem
Yesterday evening, I asked my mother sitting besides me and sipping her tea, to share a few random words that came to her mind.
These are what she shared in the same order as she shared.
Time, Eternal, Free, Freedom, Connection, Heart, Destiny, Love, Emerging, Twinkle, Abundance, Garnering, Gather, Depth, Stardust, Voyage Spirit
Here is what I imagined in the dance of these words…
When Love is Destiny
Emerging in eternal time
Destiny twinkles on stardust
Garnering connections of hearts
Voyaging free in the spirit of freedom.
Gathering abundance in the
depth of love.
