So much wisdom
Within each life
In each of its cell
That a life time
Is not enough
To make sense of it all.
Body mind & soul
Interweaves itself
Beyond limits of understanding
To connect and guide
Life to its own purpose of being.
If this is not divinity at play
I wonder what is?

We all want peace
At all times
But is that peace
If it creates war.
Can war create peace
What peace is peace
That destroys another.
True peace is in ease of being
Peace that flows through
In and around us
That is already within each of us
Awaiting our acknowledgement
To connect and embody
So let’s align with our inner peace
And let the heart share this peace
With the world outside
In thoughts words & deeds l
Let peace be the way of being
It radiates and alters the energy around.

Life is…
Resilient by nature
For it is the way of Nature
To survive the odds.
I captured this random picture of resilience standing tall and proud along the way in the form of a full grown tree. It was during one of my trips to coastal areas of India. The state of the trunk caught my attention.
Just a message of no matter what is taken away , there is always hope of growth on the anvil.
If we care to observe resilience imprints on every life , we will probably develop a deeper understanding of life in the living and learn to respect and nurture it.

Painted petal
Gift of nature
Colour of changes
Mapped in its veins.
A single leaf strewn across by the winds of changes, carries profound truths of living life…🙏

Peace is precious
Gaurd your peace
Know when to fight
And what to fight for
Choose your battles well
Value your peace .
Savvy
Your energy is yours to protect
Shield it with love and forgiveness
Allow happy thoughts
Let go the unnecessary frictions
If you find yourself too exhausted by anothers energy
Too consumed in every interaction…
Where you feel depleted and worn out
May be it is time to move away and balance your energy
Most of all listen to your body…
How do you feel after any interaction with someone
Energetic or depleted
The signs are there for a reason
Choose your path well
Think well. Do well. Be well.

The concept of having space
Between things is a wisdom
A wisdom that creates balance.
Between thoughts
Between words.
Between songs are silent spaces
Between breaths exist space that bridges the inhale and exhale.
Between life
Be it trees , flowers or animals
Space allows it to grow…
Between people
Space allows for freedom to be to express and share
Boundaries create respect and safety
Creating healthy relationships.
Allowing for rest and regenerate
With peace of mind, body and spirit.
A question then arises…
How much space do you need
To protect your peace?
And how much space do you give
To sustain the peace?

Today my mornings photography muse is this beautiful white hibiscus tenderly unfurling itself in the green foliage..I simply had to click a picture…
There is so much peace
That a white blossom emits
A sense of spirituality
Pervades in its unfurled petals
A guest for just a single day
Who better than this bloom
Gracing my garden today
To teach the truths of life.
Of living life lovingly
Garnering the wisdom of changes
Of impermenance
Its petals. proud & present
In this precious now.
Without worries of tommorow
So much dignity in its beauty.
Perhaps it understands
Transience of nature
In the phases of life
Only too well
While it blooms in peace.
Savvy
Chase not, the shiniest
For it often lose their sheen
Choose consistency over hype
It makes a mark in time.
What shines today
May become dull tommorow
What perseveres every day
May turn reliable in the long run .
Chase not, the loudest proclaims
It often ends up as a whimper
Choose the steadiness of approach
That often becomes substantial.
Chase not, the charmer
They often turn out fake.
To smile without heartbreak
Choose the one with humor…
And keep humor alive in your heart…
Savvy
Serendipitous dawn
Across emerald waters
Spiraling sun shines
Balancing my breath
On soft sandy shores
Ocean mist fills my senses.
P.S :
The Vision & verse…
A bit on writing this poem.
I choose an open structure with just a light punctuation such that the lines flow into one another and can be interpreted creatively. I recognize it is a natural way for me to write.
I remembered a day where simply walking on such a peaceful eastern shore, I felt the shifting energy bring balance in my being. There was just me the sky and the ocean, today I have tried to envision that lived moment, that presence I felt in the white sands and whiffs of ocean mist in just these six lines of verse.

(The Ai photo image is simply my prompted visual representation of a lived moment.)
Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world
Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles
For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…
For others it may be personal
And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.
Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.

Today, I came across a beautiful Japanese word called ‘Komorebi’ that depicts…the beauty of light filtering in through the leaves. And I see this picture, that I had saved, somehow seems to fit right in…
Beauty of impermenance
Every ray of light
In these leaves …
Can never be replicated
To exact moments.
Yet there is stillness
In its fleeting moment
In simple appreciation,
And heartfelt acknowledging
Of the beauty of impermenance.

Growing on an uncharted path, All by yourself Blossoming from inner faith A strength of belief Rises you up from within That you project to the world Sharing hope and happiness So, like the delicate flowers So full of perseverance Arising from bud to bloom Dancing with the wind Come rain or sun… You share as […]
The light of the source
Wind on the sand
Gathering gently
Singing sweetly…
Whistling winds…
Humming & howling
Desert dunes
Deep drones
Shifting sands
Slumping steep
Silver on silver
Gold on gold.
Savvy
The wind on the water
Dancing divine
Riveting rhythm
Forming in the flow.
Patterns performing
Orchestras in the ocean
