Live Life Lovingly!


Gifts of life

Gifts of life

Love and wisdom
Are two profound gifts of life
With love life feels meaningful
With wisdom life feels purposeful

Between love and wisdom
Life moves on and evolves itself
Bringing forth emotions
Deeply entrenched in our psyche

All is part of life and living
Interconnects deeply interwoven
The Circle of life flows on
Whole and complete.

Heart & Mind

When the heart is willing the mind is opened.
When the mind is acknowledging, the heart is at ease.

All is a matter of tuning…

Between the heart and the mind.

First Dance Memories

“Our First Dance– Thank you Savvy…This holds a special place in my heart 🙂 Sharon

This message and photo popped up on my Fb wall. Although it’s back in time. The memory of sharing my dancing skills with these two wonderful people is still very fresh.

Teaching dance is a beautiful profession and the rewards and blessings go way beyond…

I heartfully cherish all these dancing moments!

Thank you Sharon & Fennex for sharing this beautiful moment!

Splash of Colours



 


 


Today I am sharing  a small part of an abstract painting I created earlier.
It gives me a splash of colours whenever I want a bright pop of colors to jumpstart my day.


Art speaks volumes without words.
Art is healing  & therapeutic  at the same time.
Correct choice of colours  make all the difference  They can enhance moods
In moments  of melancholy
In times of  restlessness..
In times of stress they can soothe the frayed nerves.

Yet what works for one may not work for another….
As every  person  has a unique  sense of colour.

Creating is the art of making art, work towards  a purpose.
Creating is also the art of allowing the flow as much as channeling the flow.

Shanghai Calling

Hello Readers,

WordPress has been a great source of support for not only writing away our thoughts and seeing it pick traction. But also in bringing the world just a bit more closer together through these mere words. Such is the power of words.

My earlier travels have been interspersed with interesting personas that I had a chance meeting with and many have become wonderful friends for life.

I am planning to travel to Shanghai China for the first time on work soon. Would love to know if you know or there is anyone from that city here on WordPress. Would be happy to connect if so.

If you have anything that you can share on Shanghai I would be glad to hear more.

In goodwill and gratitude

When Kindness Speaks

On World Kindness Day

A Share of kindness…

When kindness speaks

It leaves heartprints

No words are needed

When kindness speaks

All is conveyed in the sensing.

When kindness speaks

A bond is created

That unites us beyond ourselves

When kindness speaks

The world is bettered.

On Speaking & Hearing

When you speak, the words are yours and the thoughts are sent outwards, so choose your words…

When you hear, the words are others and thoughts are inwards, so think positively!

Let Go…

abstract art blur bokeh
Learn to live for this moment.
Do not take the residue with u.
Let it pass, You just carry on.
Another moment is there to live and let go.
The residue comes with us as happy and sad memories of the past and most of our life we dwell and chew on them and act accordingly.

Observe life with detachment, with the understanding that nothing is permanent.
Change is the nature of the universe, so that the cycle continues.
The atoms in the whole universe keep on changing, what you experience is also gone along with that.
Then why burden the self with all the memories, just let it go.
Feel and experience the new atoms with each changing moment.
Feel light as there is no burden You are carrying.
The more you carry, the more dense and tense you become.
Leave it.
Lighter you become and it will help you to see the light of liberation.

A few reflections from my mothers’ writings.


Sweet tooth?

East or west Sweets are the best!

This festive season brought along chocolates from Switzerland and Indian mithai competing with each other… Yummy and delicious indeed! Personally, am a huge fan of dark chocolates and the Indian dry fruits sweets which are some of my favourites any day.

Just curious
What would you pick?

Are you a fine chocolate connoisseur
Or a fan of mouthwatering rich Indian Sweets?

With an array of delicately balanced delectables on the table….

What’s your choice?


Seeing beyond

Beautiful thoughts make the person beautiful!

Spare a thought in consideration.

Whenever we are able to see beyond the visible characteristics and understand the reason why a person behaves the way they do, we are attuning ourselves to the divinity in and around us…

Harmony beckons.

PEACE, JOY AND ABUNDANCE.

Effortless grace

Effortless grace is visible in a dancer,

Who even in the dynamics of great extensions in flexibility

Can manifest great ease and subtlety.

Life is…

Life is both simple and sufficient
Simplicity is hidden
In the clutter and complexity
Sufficiency is hidden
In the grace of gratitude.

Life is strengthened in stability and flexibility.

Stability is hidden
In the chaos and confusion
Flexibility is hidden
In the flow of the structure.

Life is nourished in empathy and compassion.
Empathy is hidden
In the sensing and understanding
Compassion is hidden
In the actions from the heart.

Life is nurtured in Care

Caring is hidden
In love & in goodwill.

Life is a maze of the mysterious
Life is challenging yet resilient.

Life is full of wisdom in the challenges
But wisdom is hidden
In the very truth of life and living.

Life is a puzzle that awaits solution. The solution is found in simply living it.

Art of Patience & Calm

Commune with the very depth of your being
Connect with your own breath
Combine with your inate sense of calm
Coexist with nature as it truly is
Cohabit with the element of balance.
Counter the imbalance with patience.

Time settles it all
The key is in waiting
For the perfect moment
Allowing the winds to blow
Chaos plays precursor to stillness
It is the nature of the circle of life.
Sounds reign before silence
Movements arise before stillness

Remember all is in flow
Equilibrium is in the equanimity
Maintaining is the art of sustenance
Let go the expectations
Things fall into place
As they are meant to .

The art of stacking or stone piling is a gift of patience and a grace of thankfulness. Every stone stacked can signify a greater intention, giving into a larger purpose. Although I personally feel we must be careful about this art by not leaving any trail marks in nature, forests as these imprints may confuse or can alter signals for many animals living there. But having said that this art is peaceful and the practice of it can be healing as well.

Creativity is challenged by patience in waiting, giving way to balance in the flow.

Have a look at these amazing artworks by this very famous stone stacking genius.

Stone Stacking Genius

One thing is very certain, it surely can teach us much about creating calm.

Rise Again

A few musings from my mother’s heart that I feel like sharing here today!

When we walk along the path of roses, thorns are unavoidable.
It doesn’t mean we stop walking. Remove the thorns from our way and proceed further
It may hurt. But It won’t last. Let’s keep going.

Life is like a seesaw
It keeps going and down.
The fall and climb are parts of the life. Fret not if our efforts don’t yield results.
The seed needs its own time
To grow into a tree,
The buds to blossom as fragrant flowers,
The fruits and grains, to ripe to nourish
Yet till then they need all the care and nurture
So do our dreams, take its own time n
our continuous effort to become reality.

Waves fall to rise again
Leaves fall to bring
spring again
Day falls to bring a new dawn again

Arere we not a part of Nature?
We may fall, be sure we will rise again
Our dreams are the seed.
Our patience is the time
Our hard work is the nurture
Our Faith and Hope, the nourishment.

Success is waiting to be reaped.
