And this quote seems apt on living life and loving.
True, we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness.
To all those who seek perfection in every little thing that they sometimes drive themselves and others crazy. Ease in and let go for a bit, see others as they are , not as you want them to be. We are all vulnerable beings. We are humans after all, let us be supportive and celebrate the power of humanity to overcome challenges that appear along the way. We are powerful in acknowledging our respective situation from where we are and working amicably towards finding resolutions. After all besides every thing else,the world needs humanity to overcome the challenges of being human.
Just spending time with our little furball combing his long coat every other day makes me feel peaceful. A little moment every now and then writing my thoughts down feels peaceful Spending time alone witnessing the stillness of the breath or practicing Qi Gong in the garden with green trees for company makes me feel peaceful.
Meditative moments especially at home in front a Buddha statue makes me feel peaceful.
Painting and dancing without an agenda, on my own, whenever I wish to, makes me feel peaceful.
But most of all… Living in the now, without too many expectations makes me peaceful ✌️
It’s the way of love, to accept and allow It’s the way of love, to empower with hope It’s the way of love, to sense the light of life. It’s the way of love, to share from the heart.
For love is the gift of life. And it’s the way of love, to be filled with gratitude.
So we have been keeping a food bowl and water bowl for the hungry and thirsty birds in our terrace garden.
I have seen some occasional birds come in to drink but every day there is a family of squirrels who somehow have made their feeding zone.
So this morning I chanced upon a pigeon carefully perched on the edge of the bowl watching the surrounding environment…
Apprehension & trepidation are the words that comes up when I saw this lone bird feeding for the first time. So much fear and anxiety before dipping her beak into the bowl. So unlike our regular daredevil squirrels dashing into the bowl, this one was mighty cautious and careful and yet so very graceful in her ways… Watching her I sensed how much she values her freedom. And how much she is relying on her wings to take off at any moment and fly free. After all in every life, the spirit of freedom aspires to live & fly free in safety, peace & liberation. Here’s to creating safe spaces for life to coexist, thrive and flourish.
Inculcating a habit of listening to music regularly, or even practicing music by learning to sing or playing an instrument, can improve your creativity.
Learning anything new can spark new neural pathways and bridge old learnings in associations to ignite unique creative expressions.
As far as music it is a holistic experience with benefits much beyond its entertainment factor. The right music can heal and regenerate cells in our body.
Music can be a healing medicine for the body, mind and spirit. Personally, like for many of you, I love many art forms, like music, dance and painting, writing and singing because they have an immensely positive effect on me. It makes me whole again, ready to face a new day… For instance, I am fond of different types of music at different times of the day…often I sense how refreshed I feel after listening or singing to them.
At home every once in a while my daughter and I find singing mashups of old and new songs together on the Karaoke very rejuvenating…One thing leads to another, humming or singing some melodies while going through the day, makes the moments feel light. I also find listening to gentle, soft instrumental music while painting very enjoyable.
