Learning from a free spirit



Today I write about my dear and very loving father…

Perhaps the most uncomplicated man.

A paragon of the free spiritedness of a child.

He has an uncanny ability to be happy like a child.

What he desires are little things like a child.

Yes, he knows how to get what he  desires

But the happiness he feels & expresses, in the most ordinary things

That is his blessing of simplicity.


Life can be an epitome of adventure and adaptability.

It can challenge you & test your resilience & reserves

But to be able to be in touch with the inner child in you.

No matter how  life takes its toll on you

Is the strength in the vulnerability.



I dedicate these musings today to my eternally ‘young at heart’ father.

For from him, I have imbibed many beautiful learnings
Will share three, especially relevant here…

  • To be able to find happiness in the ordinary things.
  • To be able to stay hopeful, light & positive, no matter the density in the moment.
  • To think well of all and make way for happy thoughts and share goodwill.

  • God Bless You Dad!

    ARTISTRY OF CREATIVITY …

    Sharing one of my musings written  way back in time… came across it in my feeds.



    To me what is fascinating about the Artistry
    in the artist is the path he chooses
    to channelizes his Creativity .. ‘

    Every artist is unique ….

    Working in tandem with his own techinque

    Every stroke of the brush guided in the silence of a visual imagery

    Marks the stark passion in the heart of divinity

    Sculpting and painting the patterns with conviction

    With personal care beyond concern or consternation

    Blending in the tones and .. while sketching a grass blade

    Molding to the hues in every shade ….

    Life is a canvas colorful or otherwise

    Care to see the value beyond the price…

    Life & Living



    There is an art of life and living
    Be freehearted in giving.

    Sense every nuance of this now
    Express the love of life in this moment.




    Tune in to rhythms playing in life
    Like the dancer who dances
    Emoting through the movements
    Tuning into the  awareness in every step

    Dance with all of your being.



    Connect unabashedly
    Life and times move swiftly
    Regret never the moment lost in doubt
    Engage with this now passionately.



    You will give yourself the greatest gift
    The gift of living than simply existing.
    You will fulfill the purpose of your being.
    You will  make your life worth living

    On Giving





    We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” – Mother Teresa


    Love these words by Mother Teresa, a kind soul that showed the way of kindness in giving.

    Every single selfless act in devotion leaves the world feeling a little better than before…

    Yes there is much to do
    To make our world better
    There is so much left to improve
    Sometimes we are full of doubts
    About can we ever do enough
    Is what we share  or do,  right at all?






    No matter the doubts  simply share
    With all your heart ❤
    You are meant to do much, much more
    Than what you can even imagine.
    You will find yourself along the way.
    Share your gifts with joy in giving.
    And fulfil your purpose of being.

    Two women



    Sharing a lovely piece of poetry

    Two women, two different roles
    The one who gave birth to me
    And the one I gave birth to.

    One gave all the love she had
    The other got all the love I had

    One strived in the life chosen for her
    The other – for the life she chose

    One made sure I didn’t have tears
    The other ensured I face my fears

    One hears my voice to know if am well
    The other can read my face and tell

    One had her eyes moist as she saw me go
    The other made my eyes moist as I let her go

    My past and my future when shall meet
    Will be a picture ever so complete
    Two women, two different roles

    If only I could be a little like them,
    The one who gave birth to me,
    And the one I gave birth to.

    Two women, two different roles.



    Can simply say

    Love is the bridge…
    Betwixt & Between

    Live life lovingly!❤

    Envisioning Beyond Labels



    In every experience there is always learning
    To move beyond the apparent
    Every concept is potential  in possibilities
    Such is life and creativity
    It is the way of nature in abundance…


    To be able to see the bigger picture
    To see beyond the niggling bits
    And envision the larger good
    Is the need of the hour. 


    So much of time, earth has borne
    The onslaught of man and his needs
    But its time to think beyond the self
    And move beyond  being bound by labels.


    Find ways together and seek
    Solutions than problems.
    For truly we are so much more
    Than the way we label ourselves…

    LETS MOVE BEYOND LABELS
    & KNOW THE POWER OF OUR BEING.

    On Adapting


    Every time you find yourself
    In a bit of a tussle
    You need to adapt to the situation

    A little bit of flexibility
    Goes a long way
    Where you bend but do not break.


    Like the reed of grass
    That bows down with grace
    In the wind of changes.

    Like water that flows to fit in
    Until it shapes unto & settles itself
    Like a lithe cat that braces itself in a fall.


    This ability  to turn adversity
    On its toes and dance with it
    Is a valuable  lifeskill.

    This quality of adaptability
    The way you adapt, adjust or modify
    Says much about you as a person.


    It speaks of your capacity
    To be receptive to new ideas
    And new ways of thinking

    To step out of the box.
    And perceive with fresh eyes.
    Without prejudice.

    To understand what is feasible
    To be willing to respond  than react
    To the changes, in flexibility.



    And the ability to be non judgmental
    Speaks of your unflappable nature.

    In responding with composure.

    Adaptability is a necessary skill
    To overcome any situation in life
    To adapt is to survive.

    Heart of Love





    In the spectrum of emotions
    Love and hate are at opposite ends.
    Yet often find itself  juxtaposed.

    Love flows through
    Hate constricts life.
    Love is transcendence.
    In evolved consciousness.
    While hate scars the soul
    Love heals and renews the spirit ❤

    When love finds its bearings…
    It takes wings and charts its course
    Patterning itself in the flow
    And leaves healing imprints forever
    In the river of eternal time.

    You have this now
    Make it beautifulYou have it all in you…Love your life
    Live life lovingly!

    Beyond the looking



    What truly makes a difference
    Is the way we see things
    The way we envision it


    What matters is apparent
    And yet at times hidden
    In the veils of Illusions


    When you truly want to see
    There is a certain  clarity in things
    Truth emerges in attention.


    There is more than what appears
    There is always a learning
    In envisioning beyond the  looking.

    On Action

    An action that builds confidence is better than inaction which arises from fear.

    At times the action is a success, at times , may be the action needs a new direction to be successful but action is better than no action.

    Power of Faith





    Behind the smile is the hidden strength

    Behind the gentleness is steel in spirit.

    The spirit is strengthened in the living.

    In depth of  love comes the strength

    In loving deeply is the courage to dare

    Against all odds.

    Such is the might of the warrior  within…

    Inner faith can move mountains.

    Looking through…

    What lens are you looking through…

    Are you
    Wearing lens of compassion
    Having the lens of humour
    Cleaning the lens for clarity.

    Invoking the lens of intelligence
    Expressing through the lens of emotion
    Respecting the lens of honour.

    Are you Looking through…

    The lens of wisdom
    Or of ignorance?

    The lens simply magnifies

    What you see…

    For thats what its meant to do!

    Its all in what you are looking through…

    All is in the envisioning!

    Gods Gift



    Every moment  in time
    Is a gift of God.
    In both the so called
    Good and bad







    The easy and difficult times
    There is always  a learning
    To sense and understand
    To evolve along the path.






    Yet I am a lover of the mornings…

    It gives me hope to look forward  to
    No matter the darkness of the night.
    One more chance  to make life better
    To share and create
    To heal and to help another
    There is a beauty in every dawn
    The way the sun rises every  day
    The way the darkness gives in to light

    I am more me in the mornings
    I enjoy the waking moments unhurried
    I revel in the  now in the  bliss of bless
    I witness the dance of light at dawn
    As the sun beams its rays across
    As earth awakens itself from slumber



    The chirping birds fill me with joy
    Its not noise to me, its a song
    Of  motivation and energy
    To carry on through the day.
    Mornings share hope for the day
    Do give yourself  an early start
    Make mornings work for you
    Bask in the grace of light.

    The Synergy of the sun is upon you!


    Know the mornings after a rested night
    Are specially conducive to invoke
    Your creativity in the things you do
    So write create draw paint sing & dance.

    Sleep not the mornings away.
    What a waste of life’s inspiration  it would  be
    Remember…
    Every morning  is a gift to yourself
    To unbox and release  hope some more.
