From the architect of time, the source creator came a space of nothingness (akash)from space came matter (energy) from matter came movement (wind, air) from movement came fluidity (flow, water) from fluidity came existence from existence emanated the spirit of life (the breath of life, fire passion).
The elements existence are a guide in an acknowledgement of the interdependence. An awareness of interconnections in an acceptance that everything exists in the subtlety of balance.
The spirit of life and living is the bridge to our calling &purpose of being. As well as in the journey of the being. The path is and will be ours and yet not just ours.
Every move in time is interlinked in the bridge of time that we were, are and will be on. The bridge of time is in eternal cycle of motion. All matter constitutes one or more of the elements in different proportions.
While the mind of the matter perceives it in thoughts, the heart of the matter senses. Mindful thoughts and heartfelt feeling are both real and unreal all at the same time. And consciousness is the bridge of awareness between the extrinsic and the intrinsic, between the learning and the knowing.
And in this understanding is the realization whole and complete of all as it is .
This one is for all my fellow writers & artists. For I believe… The ability to express or create art is a gift. A Gift of Grace. To respect the gift of creativity… is to express gratitude and use it in empowering ways. To be able to express and convey is to be able to let go without doubts of disbelief. To be ready and willing to share helps boost and spread the sense of self confidence and self worth…
Take time to appreciate the grace of your gift, as you make a difference in your own unique way!
This is the story of Cara Khan whose sense of spirit & adventure made her dare the seemingly impossible …
Cara E. Yar Khan is an international human rights advocate promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities within all facets of society.
Thank you my dear friend Ali Anani, for it was you who shared the above Ted talk link and suggested I share a few thoughts on her.
I dedicate these following verses to her daring spirit and dancing soul!
Life is
Inexplicable uncertainty in the now
Undefinable strength in the moment
Unimaginable challenges that arise
Infinite possibilities in the potential
Unstoppable hope in the living
Be it in strength or inspite of weakness
No matter the threats or unexpected opportunities
Life shapes and moulds in experience
Be it the desires, wants or needs
Life is a journey unto itself
Life is a circle in the living.
In salute to the very courageous Cara E. Yar Khan Her inspirational life story is an epitome of the magic of living a bigger bolder and yet a purpose driven life, In her I see the verve, and enthusiasm in pursuit of her Passions and her drive towards her Purpose as much as the Perseverance to attain it. And when these 3 Ps combine, success is bound to manifest itself. What matters is that she ignored what was preposterous and dared to dream.
Ignore the naysayers You have one life Live it well Give it the best you have got!
Keep the faith in trust and self belief Let go of illusions of less in assumptions You have everything you need within you In daring beyond doubts &fear Living life lovingly!
Truly nothing is insurmountable There is in you, the power That manifests when you need it most You may not know the strength And capabilities that you are carrying. But it is always there with you Simply trust in yourself To be there for you! You are more than enough for you!
A thought is a full circle From synapse to the sensing It travels beyond spaces and back Symbol of life in the buzzing.
In the circle of life and living Arises sparks of thinking in the sensing Many thoughts may come and go, Sometimes structured & logical, At times they disappear in a moment Yet some thoughts leave imprints in time.
As thoughts keep on arising These dots of thoughts shape into patterns Emitting in the strength of momentum To countless circles of thoughts in the propelling.
A Sufi Tale: A merchant from Baghdad entered a Sufi’s shop, which had essence jars on the shelves. Marveling at the beauty of the place, he asked, “Sir, what is sold here?” The Sufi replied, “The gifts of God”.
The merchant was surprised with the answer, & asked, “And how much do they cost?” “Nothing, here all is for free”, said the Sufi, observing carefully, that the traveller could see the labels: “Jugs of Love”; “Jars of Faith”; “Packages of Hope”.
The merchant said, “A big jug of love, all the packages of hope & three jars of faith for me, my friends & my family”.
The Sufi carefully prepared the order & handed him a small box. Surprised, the merchant exclaimed, “But, but…. how can everything I have asked for, be in this tiny box?”
Smiling, the Sufi replied, “In God’s store, we do not sell fruits, only seeds. You have to sow them. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds...
When the sport turns to a dance…
When the feet move in a rhythm
All its own, in uniqueness
Artistry is acknowledged.
An Inspiring life
Friends See, Brazil’s under 17 footbal coach Amadeu Carlos who is “just” 76 years old. This is called Brazilian football magic… He proves “Age is just number.” Amazing skill, energy and stamina.
This above information is social media forward, yet when decided, I wanted to learn more about him. I found that his age is misconstrued.Yet whatever the age, age is just a number, his skill is clear to see and that’s what is beautiful to see.
Here is a (wiki ) snapshot of his life and living.
Carlos Amadeu Nascimento Lemos was a Brazilian footballer and manager who played as a left back. He represented Bahia as a player before injury curtailed his career. He went on to have a managerial career which spanned almost thirty years.
This is how he sums up his country and its relationship with their favorite sport….“In Brazil when a child is born, the first gift for him is a ball. Our relationship with football is huge. We are a footballing nation and we like that”
Night is a time of regeneration In acknowledgement of a pause Of the need for rest and recovery As the day blesses us with a night Own the time to sense the rejuvenation Slip into bliss of sleep, In the oblivion of darkness That slowly descends on us all Just be , knowing the night gives in to dawn In a few hours more… Be wise to unwind and unshackle. Touch base with your soulspace Refresh your entire being To look forward and greet dawn again in hope
WordPress says I have published 1500 posts!! Calls for a little celebration of this milestone and thankfulness in Gratitude to you my dear readers in this journey together! 🙏😊
The Journey so far… The simple act of writing a little everyday, penning down my thoughts and sharing with you all here, the time spent here, has been deeply rewarding in more ways than one. Yes, a moment of reckoning indeed of all those contemplative times.🙂
While some of you my readers have suggested me to focus on the monentary benefits of blogging, yet a few of you have appreciated my artworks and also suggested that I must compile a book in some of the kind comments you leave, which I will cherish for a lifetime. So thank you all for encouraging & supporting me right through…
As many of you my readers already know, I diligently practice writing a post every day for over three years now…
This is beautiful canvas space of expression for myself on all the little things that come my way and touch me one way or the other
The Vision Ahead …
I believe I am now ready to explore the idea of compiling a book of my writings. So I would truly love to hear from those of you who have walked the path of publishing your books.
Yes there is a lot of information on the internet about publishing, but I think to listen to you my readers, and hear your individual and unique wisdom garnered from your own experiences in publishing a book as a fellow writer would add a relevant perspective.
And secondly if you could share your thoughts of my writings, it would help in understanding more of what you envision of me as a writer.
Would you care to write and share about what are the steps to publish a book? And as a reader if you have been following my posts here, what genre do you think my works could do well? It would be really nice to learn from you all. Do share your experiences, and leave tips for the road ahead in publishing a book if any. It would be certainly be a step ahead.
