Stories that steer

If we are alive

We have stories to tell

They are worth listening to

Worth sharing with another

Worth learning from another

Life is,what we make of it.

And our stories often create pathways

Of thoughts and action for ourselves

And through another life

Perhaps that’s why we need to share

To express the truths of our being

As for our stories of life and living

Of overcoming obstacles

Of surviving the odds

They may become a guide and toolkit

In maneuvering life in the steering

Leading into the path of clarity.

Energy of peace

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.

Resilience

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.

Unravelling

And fraying together

Like weary ropes wearing  thin

Knots unravel and fall away

Setting us free

Shaping into wings

To soar again

And be all that we are…

Body wisdom

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.

Blooms of 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.

In retrospect…

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…

Serenading my senses…

It’s early evening

The sunlight is still filtering in

I sit back, after a walk.

It feels like a balmy dusk

Watching dappled rain drops

Falling on verdant leaves 🍃

Petrichor fills the air

Rising from the earth

Sensing the glimmers of this now.

Serenading my senses, in serendipity…

Smile from the heart!

It’s truly a wonderful way to live inside out.

There is a lot in life to be thankful for .

Sending such an intention outward is an unending hope, that life never hardens, the living with all our heart & soul.

Space for growth

Let there spaces in between

Room for improvement

For growth needs it

Personal or professional

Breathe in the pause

To ponder a while

To sense the potential

To emerge from ideas 

Creating possibilities.

I value the necessity of space

Between thoughts, between words,

Else

It starts feeling a little to crowded.

Creating the fog of density

Creating space creates clarity.

How much do you value your need for space?

Soul of my soul

Reaching out to the radiance

That lights my being

Feeling the magnificent way

The glow paves my path.

Seeing the grace unfold

In all its glorious resplendence

Aligning with its presence

In the breath I take.

Witnessing life transform

As darkness gives in to light

Sensing the space of lightness

As energy balances its flow.

Soul of my soul

Your omnipresence I revere

As you work your magic

Through me…

Who lifts you up?

Over the years

Living life teaches much.

Every person in your life

has an unique role to play.

Sometimes they are necessary for you

at times, you are necessary for them.

Life happens along the way,

leaving lessons fine.

Your emotional equation matters more than you think.

Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.

Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.

Choose your circle, its your right.

Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…

You have one life.

Choose well…

Bridge on the river of time 

On Awareness

Between what was understood and what we understand, and what we are yet to understand, is the bridge of awareness in time.


Our shifting perspectives are  simply signs of  changes as we continue to flow in the river of time.

On Blooming 

Our thoughts need space to grow

Sitting in silence

Sensing stillness

Witnessing the dance within.

As the thoughts settle

From chaos to calm

Give time to your thoughts

Countless thoughts birth itself

Some that makes you smile

Some that carry other emotions

Your thoughts have a reason to be

Let them come and go 

Like nature evolves in time

Thoughts have a life time too.

Think well… Life blooms.

On blooming  

Cultivate in your children a thinking mind

Guide them to steer it to a thoughtful mind

Cultivate  in your children a grateful heart

Guide them to deeds of goodwill.

Their development begins with you 

But remember the bud that blossoms to a flower

Support their journey that unfolds itself …

As every flower unfurls in its own time

Trust life to bloom.

Way Of Peace

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts

The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.

And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.

We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.

Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.

Make the way of peace

A way of life.
