Light is meant to shine

The sky lights up

This morning

In ethereal light…

And in moments

It feels like twilight,

Where light seems engulfed

But it is already dawn.

Perhaps the sun is hidden

For a fleeting while,

Waiting for clouds to pass

Only to shine again.

In this moment

Of in-betweens,

Before light shines

Its brilliance again,

Let me take a moment

To feel the senses

Telling me to ease in to this now.

Breathe the cool wind

And pause to witness

The unfolding play

Of light of day.

The sun is patient

And humble,

Awaiting its turn…

Let me stay patient

And hopeful

In this play of light.

Light is meant to shine.

Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…

Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.

Making sense of it all… 

Experience eats degrees for breakfast.

Technology tosses experience and degrees topsy turvy.

Al turns skills redundant and age immaterial.


Wisdom turns knowledge into learning.

For learning never stops.

Humility allows for growth…

Making sense of it all.

Creating Resilience

Resilience is developed in time.

In every fall.

In every blow

In every painful experience.

The power rests with you to work on yourself.

Resilience is about nurturing  what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling  the situation at hand.

Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary  moments that you have with you.

Resilience is being able to smile from the heart,  knowing your circumstances dont define you.

In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge  from it stronger.

While resilience is in learning from experiences and  strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…

Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking  like the mighty oak tree,

Resilience is creating yourself  in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.

Resilience means, you are very much present and it means  you are evolving from your experiences for the better.

In times of being resilience

You become the master of your life.

You steer on in faith

no matter the rudder is way off.

Knowing  you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.

Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing  that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives

You are like an artist creating  something  from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience  results are awaiting you in trust & time.

Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.

What is resilience to you?

When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?

Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.

Are you healthy and heard?

Life is a series of interconnections.The conversations and dialogues make life meaningful.

Life is meant to be expressed and experienced.You are healthier as you speak create love and listen.And you are even healthier if you feel heard. Being heard and understood feels like a boost for the body mind & spirit.

The cost of loneliness is a heavy price to pay.And so is the cost being ignored, undervalued, humiliated.And  equally heavy is the price of indifference.

When voices are minimized and presence dismissed, the direct effects are loneliness and isolation.The body remembers and reacts to the rejection showing up in symptoms and diseases, for the emotional walls manifests itself in inexplicable ways…

Restoring the sense of self is about creating sharing opportunities fornot just personal expression but about being heard & feeling understood.

It’s not about  the space we occupy, but the life we live.

The conversations & dialogues we have,

The learnings & understanding we share

Makes life meaningful in the interactions.

Life cannot be contained in a vacuum.

We are healthier in expression

Life is not just to exist but to  to lived.

Such is the truth of life.

To express & create

To speak &  listen

Is to bridge the gaps

Healing one another

In inclusion that we matter.

Creating belonging & restoration of wellbeing

Shielding hearts in health

And a sense of community.

Such is the power of health in feeling heard .

What kind of reader are you ?

Are you the kind who travels back in time,
Rereading pages you’ve already turned?
Sensing memories and vivid imagery
Reflected in the lines.


Do you leave a bookmark behind,
Making your presence felt and remembered?


Or are you the kind who reads on the go,
Welcoming whatever comes your way?
The kind who leaves yesterday in its place,
Eager to explore new horizons…
Aspiring to look ahead, to move forward,
And experience so much more of life.

Sometimes we turn back the pages to honor the words that shaped us.

And sometimes we choose to look forward at the horizon ahead…

Whatever the way, simply know,

We have within us,the words and this now.

Reading is a mirror to living.

Dare To Be

You ask questions

that you already know

the answers to.

Again and again.

Hoping to confirm

the way to yourself   

And that, its all right.

Dare to be all that

you know you actually are.

Live life love life

In it, you will find answers 

And yourself again.

Savvy

A few reflections…

The Echo: What is one question you find yourself asking others repeatedly, even though deep down you already know the answer?

The Permission: What are you waiting to hear when you seek external validation? What changes if you give that exact permission to yourself today?

The Dare: What does “daring to be all that you know you actually are” look like for you in this current chapter of your life?

After the storm

The magic of first steps

The chaos of the chase

The applause of hitting milestones

The struggles of staying afloat in crisis

The highs of flying on the tailwinds

The lows of facing the headwinds

All lessons for life

There is no mountain

Without a valley to cross

The struggles of the climb

Amplifies the success at the summit.

Reach beyond knowing

Every step leads the way

Trust the self  in every step

Let the clouds roll in

For the view is truly worth it all…

After the storm.

Dignity of being

Its not pride. It’s dignity,

That you need with you.

Much is the difference between .

In no uncertain moment

Lose your sense of dignity.

For dignity is divine

For it embodies your spirit & soul

Pride is just a human emotion. 

If ever you face a situation

Where anothers words & deeds 

Leave you broken

Remember  its just your pride & ego

That feels deflated in the moments.

It’s just a phase of life it will pass.

Your dignity stays with you

In the way you handle

With no loss of grace

Stay dignified, stay graceful.

As the seasons change

Stillness comes from movement

Movements birth in stillness.

Silence is pregnant with sound

Sound leaves silence space less.

Fear scares the living daylights out.
But the day overcomes the darkest night.

Tears drown in the smiles
As laughter dries the tears.

Joy fills the heart with happiness
Relieving the hollow of sorrow.

And just like the seasons
Every season has a reason to be

For life is all about change.
And change is the only constant.

Just be

Sense this moment

It’s with you

Only in this now

And then it moves on 

Into another moment

And then another.

Time goes on

But if you can

Breathe in this now

Allowing yourself

To still your fluttering self

Calm your mind

Ease in your being

In this now

Then every now

Speaks much

Emotes much

Back to you

For you to discover

The truths of your being .

Just be…

All of you

Each day of life

Brings forth many moments

Like no two waves are the same

The good tidings of your life

Come and envelope you

When you least expect it

Surf them with joy

Know they come to you

As and when they are meant to

Be present in the moment

Enjoy them wholeheartedly

Bring all of you  to sense the good.

On Mentors

Good mentors

Guide people to mend themselves

At best they teach and nurture

Showing the pathways and gaps

To be adaptable  and agile

They don’t break people

They build them up.

With empathy and goodwill

For those yet on their way.
