Gifts of Life

Life pans out uniquely  each day for us.

And yet every life has its ups & downs

It is how we see it

That makes us who we are.

In the journey of life

Life supports and encourages us

By offering many visible and hidden

Gifts along our paths.

Recognize  and value them

For they are meant for us.

It is up to us to become aware of it

For us to sense & know…

And most of all

Every life is a gift

Value the life

You have.

Spark of the divine

Power of Imagination  takes you places. It’s your choice  where you want to be or go. It’s in you what you choose to imagine .

Divine Sparks

Simply imagine the infinite power of possibilities of the soul. And the pinnacle and the depths of infinite potential .The greatest depths is of the soul within… a spark of the divine!

Journey within :
As one deepens the focus in the inward journey of awareness, greater empathy is felt for the world outside , and when the focus is towards the outer materialistic world the focus turns towards being more self centered than self aware.

What do you think?

On Commitment

An interesting  quote on relationships  I read this morning…

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it’s not without doubt but in spite of doubt.

Rollo May

As I reflected on the above words  a few thoughts came to me…

On life and relationships

Is there an interplay of doubt and commitment?

Is there commitment when in doubt?

What happens when doubt creeps in the committed?

Whenever they intersect there are conflicts

Whether at opposition or not

Both are in thoughts

Dashing from one extreme to another

At times contradicting at times rationalising

And returning back to apparent normalcy

When doubt dances in, commitment feels the burn

When commitment is strong, doubt rests on the back burner.

Have always felt there needs to be trust in a relationship as much as compromise else even the strongest of relationships fall apart.

What are your thoughts ? Do share.

Oneness

True intelligence of humanity is in realizing the strength of the intetconnections.

It is the guide to all that we truly are made of .

Oneness of  spirit

Oneness in body

Oneness of mind

Aligns us in harmony

To live in tune

With the laws of nature.

A calmer perspective

I have received this poem below through a  social media forward.

And I think I needed to read it today.

It put many things in perspective.

You see, there have been some small and inexpensive things missing at home . We have two house helpers And I was not sure who is the culprit. 

They have been with us for a while and I have senior parents who live at home  so I was letting it go and keep calm,  because it was easier as it was causing a lot of unnecessary confusion and doubt.

In the meantime two months ago I replaced one of them.  And I had felt a sense of relief somehow. And today the other is about to go  on  leave for the customary annual holiday.  It will mean a lot of work for me  personally until I find a helper. Yet I have been feeling positive that better is happening and all is for a good reason.  Sometimes we grin and bear for the fear of changing statesquo…

While I cannot get my lost things as I have no proof, I think I needed a calm perspective to  help me find me a way…

While I do believe that we must take action on that which is within our control , these words touched a chord in me..

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.

Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.

Because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

— Rumi

Crack of light

Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…

Where light enters in hope!

There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks   are where light shines through  , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose. 
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

Perfectly Imperfect

We are what we are
As humans we are vulnerable beings, strengthened by our very vulnerability.
As for our notions of the  nuances
As for our presumptions and prejudices
Along with our unique sense of self contrived our otherwise
We are only human we are capable of being humane.


We are alive & breathing in this now
And no matter the despair and frustration
No matter the weight of the world
No matter the fragmented existence
No matter our human fragility…
We carry on as we are
exploring & discovering
thriving and creating
history…


We are complete beings in our acknowledging incompleteness.
We are perfect beings with all our so called imperfections.

And we strive to do our best with what we have

If everything is complete and perfect then there would be no wonder to evolve us along…

As that’s what makes us who we are.

High heels any one?

Watch this… Quite self explanatory

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/playful-physics_wearing-high-heels-can-have-both-short-term-ugcPost-7250442966723371008-YJO4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

As a Ballroom dance lover and teacher I have worn heels to teach, but in time I stopped wearing high heels.

While competition dances may have the specific shoes as a necessity, teaching people of all ages and  from all walks of life to dance, it becomes imperative to care to teach them to dance safe.

Dancing must be enjoyable not cumbersome . If you are the kind who would like a bit of heel , do  wear for you own joy once in a while ,but do take care of your feet in the longer run.

Many women wear heels to dance but pay a huge price in terms of their health especially if it’s  uncomfortable to them.

Over the years, I have been dancing  many Latin dances and  teaching them without high heels as I realise it’s just an accessory and not a necessity . There are many smooth soled shoes without  resorting to stilettos  which works out just fine, than high heels.

While many feel high heels gives confidence and gait which seems attractive  truly it’s just a commercial phenomenon.

 A great pair of dancing shoes  must support your feet and ankles, while moving in any directions and give a smooth momentum for your turns, flicks and swivels.

If you are a dancer or have danced in heels what are your experiences, do share.

If trees could talk

If trees could talk

Think what all they would share.

For trees are all about sharing

They share their all 

And even their shade with us

But if trees begin to share

Their woes with us

They will have stories

From eons ago

Of human need and greed

Of rearing them

To leaving them barren

To be axed someday

Think, if trees could talk

Humans will have no where to hide

Their demonic acts of chopping  them down

In the name of development

The world needs it’s green cover  more than ever

Our forests need us to talk for them

And take it upon ourselves to nurture these trees .

Evolving with the changes

Wisdom continues to evolve

As change is the only constant

Knowing is never enough

Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.

Age of Aquarius

Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.

Speaking of technology its transformations, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.

Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.

The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.

CUPS OF TIME

The King and the Weaver

One day, a king went hunting. On his journey, he stayed overnight at the house of a weaver who lived along the way. The weaver and his family did not know that their guest was the king. They assumed he was just a hunter and offered him a place to stay.

The next morning, when the king woke up, he saw the weaver starting his work. The weaver had a rope tied to his left hand. Curious, the king asked, “What is that rope tied to your hand?”

The weaver replied, “This rope is to rock the cradle. If the baby cries, I pull this rope to soothe it.”

The king then noticed a long stick near the weaver and asked, “What is this stick for?”

The weaver said, “My wife has spread grains outside to dry in the sun. I’ve tied a black flag to the other end of this stick. When I wave it, birds don’t come near the grains.”

The king also saw small bells tied around the weaver’s waist and asked, “What are these bells for?”

The weaver explained, “We have a mouse in the house. When it comes near, I shake these bells, and it runs away.”

The king then noticed a few children standing outside the weaver’s house and asked, “What are they doing there?”

The weaver replied, “While weaving, I teach them whatever I know. They listen to my lessons from outside.”

The king asked, “Why don’t you let them inside?”

The weaver answered, “Their ears are here to listen to the lessons, but I also make them knead the mud in front of the house with their feet while listening. This way, they learn and help at the same time.”

The king was amazed at how the weaver managed so many tasks simultaneously. The weaver added, “That’s not all. My wife is a Greek woman. Every day, she writes ten Greek words on a slate for me to learn. While working, I also practice those words.”

The weaver demonstrated that if one desires, it is possible to learn, teach, work, and take care of the household all at once. His diligence left the king astonished.

I received this story in Tamil but since I wanted to share across this here, this is an AI translation.

There is so much to understand and interpret  from this….

Here are my thoughts on this…

Cups of time…

If there is will & dedicated intent

Much can be accomplished.

Our life is a precious gift

So much to discover & learn from

And there is so much for each of us to do.

Let’s fill the cups of time

Doing the best we can

Let’s never waste our life away…

That is the way to thrive.
