Every horizon once reached
It reveals another
Beckoning at a distance…
Horizon is born of hope
Of the beyond in this now.
Horizon are meant to hope
To aspire to reach beyond
In the yonder across the horizon
Where the sky converges…
Is a matter of knowing
There is always more
Of natures grace.
Such is the abundance
Of unending hope.

Recently a reader mentioned he was stymied…
By the following line in one of my previous post
‘Covet not what you cannot share.’
Let me explain..
The very act of coveting
Is yearning to possess
That which does not belong
Act of possession is not love
True love is about freedom
Every person has both
Freedom and limitations Such is the law of nature.
When man unknowingly
Or knowingly covets beyond
Nature is displaced and broken
Then energies shift
And all hell breaks loose
Every word spoken or written
Can effect someone somewhere
So important to know
And discern with care
Else all the wisdom of life
Becomes meaningless.
Living your truths is fine
As long as you don’t impinge others
As long as you respect life
Around you to have theirs.
Share your truths if you wish
But do not share what is not yours.
For that is an act of trangression
A violation of natures
Code of conduct!
Savvy
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.
Life and living can be both beautiful and challenging beyond compare…
Touched by these heartfelt words I came across so much that I just had to share..
“Take me out to the street, son, I still have good legs. If I walk with you, I won’t feel old …
Invite me to your home, son, Sunday morning; to share your good table and feel accompanied …
Talk to me with love, son, don’t challenge me or shake me; we old people are like children we like to be pampered, to smile without discomfort …
Celebrate my birthdays, don’t criticize my follies; I’ll try to be brave, even if bitterness arises …
Don’t push me away from you, don’t talk to me in anger; I still have my mind clear, the memories of the past …
Come visit me at home, my son, I will not ask you for anything; just your presence and contemplate your face …
Don’t leave me sad and alone, don’t put me to bed; the doctors are wrong, the pain is in the soul … ”
On Caring…
Experience of living, matters.
Treat life with care
For life comes a full circle.
Life can at times be lonely
Make time to be present
In the life of those who need you.
Just a bit of your time
A kind word or deed
Will make all the difference.
Express kindness
Your near and dear ones
Need to sense it.
Show empathy
Share the love.

There are few gifts
Of life in the living
Like joy of laughter
Like the happiness of smiles
Like the sharing of loving kindness
Like sensing of gratitude
They add to your life
They heal your being
Body mind and Soul.
The more you have it
And live expressing it
The better the health of your heart.
A good thought
A good deed
A good laugh
And all is well
In the lightness of being.
Sensing my share of these gifts.
Are you?

Music can be elusive yet effusive
Explosive and yet an epitome of blissfulness.
You may choose to dance and flow it with it
And know how blessed are those
Who can create music to tune into.
Yet you may not own its flow
You simply owe it your joy!
Savvy
As you walk through
The sands of time
You will come across
Stories of truth and dare
Of pain and pleasure
Of life and living
That makes you wonder…
Why do some lives go through
Soul stirring moments of awakenings
And some soul numbing pain?
Why do some lives, dominate the weak
And some are broken and shattered in despair beyond repair.
Why do some lives live to experience
luxurious lifestyles.
And some are born to slavery or traded
Why do some lives matter more?
Why lives lived are discriminated for its diversity of nature and differently treated?
Why day and night stops making sense for some.
We truly have no answers
But what we do now is the truth of this moment changes in the next!
That is solace enough to weather the storms.
For life is transitory and everything changes
For nothing stays the same.
This too shall pass.

The Isha Upanishad is significant for its description of the nature of the “Supreme Being”, exhibiting monism or a form of monotheism, referred to as Isha “Lord”. It describes this being as “unembodied, omniscient, beyond reproach, without veins, pure and uncontaminated” (verse 8), one who “moves and does not move’, who is ‘far away, but very near as well'” and who “although fixed in abode is swifter than the mind” (verses 4 & 5).
The first verse of the text has been cited as of particular importance to Vedanta or to Hinduism as a whole.
The first verse reads:
īśā vāsyam idaṃ sarvaṃ ¦ yat kiñca jagatyāṃ jagat |
tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā ¦ mā gṛdhaḥ kasya sviddhanam ||
literal translation (Ralph T.H. Griffith, 1899):
“Enveloped by the Lord must be This All — each thing that moves on earth.
With that renounced enjoy thyself. Covet no wealth of anyone
All The Truths of living life in this ephemeral world is contained in those lines.
Whatever is available to you in this world, learn to enjoy without the feeling of possession.
You are one among the many in line. Take care while it is with you without owning it.
Create no space for hatred
Have no wish for revenge
Choose to not be filled with vengeance
Channel thoughts away from anger
Have no room for haste.
Accept patience as your friend
Be mindful, be peaceful, be grateful
And all is well.

Life is born
Thoughts arise
Creativity spurts
Dreams envisioned
Passions pursued
In hope of dawn.
Yet night falls
Beween the dawns
Some dreams shatter
In the darkness unknown
While some see
The light of day!
And Life is bettered
Such is the circle of life
Flowing in a rhythm
Of its own making!
Every Life chalks it’s path in time
Arrives its meaning for itself
The journey is unparalleled
And uniquely carved.
Such is the very nature of life
And at every moment
One can’t help
But wonder…
Such is the wonder of life!
Savvy
Who you are becoming
Has much to do with
Who you are being with.
You are bit of all
In between the Influences
And betwixt the Confluences
Of all the people you meet & interact.
You create yourself
Carving patterns of your life
With these experiences.
Negate not those who teach you
For learning comes
From all quarters.
Think of your circle of life
Pay heed to your circle
Keep it healthy & contribute with grace
Watch it closely and imbibe the good.
Make amends if needed
Rally in strength & power of the circle.
Understand your space in the circle
Choose you circle well!
