Compassion is all about acceptance
It is inclusiveness in expansiveness
It is acknowledgement in patience.
Its not just a virtue.
It is about being kind to all beings.
It is about consistency of practice
It is heartfelt embodied action.
Such is soul of compassion.

Every moment that we choose to shine as bright as we can,
We begin to sense the lightness in the being.
In sensing the blessings of light
Light reflects Light!

Align the self
Assimilate the learning
Acknowledge the lesson
Amplify your purpose
Accept your presence
Allow yourself to simply be

Very interesting perspectives…
I wonder what makes the mind want to take a spill to art.
What evokes the heart to charge the creator with imagination and energy…
To be able to create such artful associations.
Some learnings from a Spill
To turnover a spill to evolve for better
If a child has spilled a cup of milk accidentally….
To keep calm and address the lesson in the spill like carefulness, steadiness, patience, thoroughness, cleanliness and most of all mindfulness.
What’s is spilled, is spilled already…. what matters is what we do about it.

As a child when my daughter dropped a glass of water, spilled milk on the floor accidentally, without getting angry admonishing, I have used it as moments to convey such lessons… so much so that it made her understand the value being in the moment while doing anything.
Great lessons can be taught in such moments and vulnerability can become a strength in time.
Similarly one can intend
To create hope in a spill…
To sense a pattern of possibilities in a spill
To use a spillover to change mindsets
To challenge the statuesque through a spill.
To evoke creativity and art…
To test skillsets learned from a spill
To create art in revisiting patterns & perspective
To spill some more and align the pattern formations.
To move beyond the evident spillover…
To envision hope beyond the accidental spill
To accentuate the spill artfully
To create masterpieces from the potential in a spillover…
To understand there is always a reason why and the learnings to come.
To empathize with the spillings across the learning curve
So the very act of overflow or spill
Or a cup that runneth over
Can be a turning point in itself
With the many lessons to learn.
The choice rests with us.

This post is a spillover effect from an earlier share by my good friend Ali Anani, PhD.
A dear friend shared an overflowing cup of inspiration my way and asked me to share a few thoughts.
Here are my reflections in a flow…
Patterns of perception.
Making sense of sensibility
Emoting in the experiences
Of life and living.
The cup of the heart pours…
Flowing through it reaches
The centers of cognition
And the mind begins thinking.
The cup of mind assimilates.
Gathering insights and ideas
Creating patterns of perception
Everything that is, is not all.
In all that it appears to be
There is always more
For infinite are the possibilities
In every moment of perception.
Savvy
The power that creates
The omnipresence
Is all knowing consciousness
That is there to take care
All of creation
Cannot be without a reason
Trust the purpose
Keep the faith
Faith is all there is
Without faith nothing is
Savvy
Have you ever wondered
What is it on your path
That makes you persevere
Like no tommorow
To keep giving all of you…
Something that is on the fringes
Something tangible and yet intangible
It is that which sparks you up
Nothing feels unbearable
Its as if your mind body & soul
Is finally integrated in the sensing
Of the brilliance at work
Beyond yourself.
You will know that when you meet
The purpose of your being
At some point in your life perhaps
In the most unexpected of ways
You will find in yourself
An energy summoned from within
To reckon with to persevere on.
Such is the dance of abundance
Of creation at play
Making life resonate to its cosmic ways…

Between belief and trust
There is a fine line
That makes all the difference
For to believe, is one thing
But to trust, is to let go.
In this trustfulness
Is where all the magic happens
And where the wonder comes alive
And beliefs finds meaning
In the ability to trust
Comes along the surrender
And the ability to accept the let go
In knowing there is always hope.
To trust, is to know there is
Always Something more
Than you or I
That will have our back
In complete trust
Life manifests and flourishes
Beyond the niggling doubts
And the unfounded insecurities
Trust is the power that creates possibilities
So important to trust and be trustworthy.
Trust and allow yourself to realize its potential.
To acknowledge trust, is a step ahead in faith.

The heart feels
The mind thinks
And generates a seed of thought
But the heart is all encompassing
In the core of the heart
Is the garden of life.
The heart is all pervasive
The heart is willingness
It accepts the seeds of thoughts
It colours it with emotion
Sometimes in all its vividity
In the brightest of tints
Or at times in shadowing tones
Between the dark and light of life
The heart nurtures and nourishes
Thoughts seeds to life.
In positively enriching thoughts
It empowers life to evolve .
What truly matters is..
To plant a positive seed in your heart
Allow the mind to help the heart
Discard the unwanted,
Weed out the unnecessary
Trim the excess growth
Support the saplings of goodwill
Balancing between the heart & mind
Every moment of awareness
Can change the course of life!

The Road to Acceptance has many challenges in the learnings… not often easy, but certainly transforming in one way or the other.
Like there are many aspects to understanding
In acceptance there are many perspectives
Acceptance is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient nature of everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now.
The Paradox of acceptance is being defenseless to yin and yangs of life and living. Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength, is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness , in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

The world may seem to revolve around you
But you revolve along with the world.
So to be in balance is to take a hold
Of the space you are in
To find your bearing, before you react.
To optimize your response
Begin to understand and discern
Where another is in space, in thoughts
In actions and deeds.
To listen actively
To empathize with their needs and wants…
To be able to see the ‘Us beyond the I’
To shift the ‘Me to the We’
This is what will truly help
Us to understand where we are.
Life is like that,
Its meant to evolve and grow
Along in the flow!

I was a little kid when I first came across this beautiful word Aurora …and then I read about the Polar Lights and was truly fascinated.
Back then I read as much as I could find in books before the age of the internet.
For many of us so far away from the poles this is often impossible to imagine beyond a blue sky… let alone the dancing lights.
Resharing this poem which is a dedication to Nature’s dance in the sky… all in the depth of my awe & fascination.
Spectre of brilliance
An opera in the sky
A dance of dazzling lights
Of colours flashing through.
Luminescent beyond compare
Magical spectacle of brilliance in the flow
An undulating waltz in the yonder
An unveiling of earth’s myriad wonders.
Such an ethereal vision
Mystical northern lights
Unbelievable, unforgettable
Awesomeness beyond mere words.
Savvy
Waltz of lights on the water….
Down the memory lane
A boat, a river, and I.
A canal trip on the River Reie
Beautiful Bruges at night
Shimmering lights
Dancing on water
Ever so gently
Creating a moment
Worth a capture!

There are signs that seem to appear
Out of nowhere
That make us hope, have faith
That help retain our trust
That shows the way
In our darkest hours.
There is a communion
Of our senses with our soul
A beautiful serendipitous wave
That washes through us
To bring clarity along the way.
The truth is always with you…
Guiding us to believe
To see the bigger picture.
To know nothing is accidental
There is always something more.
Savvy
In Laughter is the shedding
Of the spurious
A cleansing of the hearts
A bridging of joys in this now!
In laughter is the clearing
Of the burdens
A lightness of being
A healing of the spirits
For Laughter makes you sense
The happiness of this now!
Laugh a little more everyday!
