Gratitude to Grace
There is the grace of uniqueness
In the source code of creation
In the nature of life
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence …
I bow in Gratitude to this Grace.

Flow…
Sharing one from my series of Circular Artworks painting today and a very powerful poem by Rumi.
I feel somehow it connects with this poem…
“There is a community of the spirit.
Join it, and feel the delight
of walking in the noisy street
and being the noise.
Drink all your passion and be a disgrace.
Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
Open your hands if you want to be held.
Consider what you have been doing.
Why do you stay
with such a mean-spirited and dangerous partner?
For the security of having food. Admit it.
Here is a better arrangement.
Give up this life, and get a hundred new lives.
Sit down in this circle.
Quit acting like a wolf,
and feel the shepherd’s love filling you.
At night, your beloved wanders.
Do not take painkillers.
Tonight, no consolations.
And do not eat.
Close your mouth against food.
Taste the lover’s mouth in yours.
You moan, But she left me. He left me.
Twenty more will come.
Be empty of worrying.
Think of who created thought.
Why do you stay in prison
when the door is so wide open?
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.
Flow down and down
in always widening rings of being.”
– Rumi
Feels just right!
Life is like a never ending puzzle
And it seems all caught in a maze
Just as much as…
There comes a time when
Life finds itself
And feels just right!

ENGAGEMENT
Engagement is an involvement
It involves committment.
Engagement is an action
It involves doing in action
Engagement is a focused interest
Engagement can be a moral obligation.
To do whatever is possible.
And be genuinely involved.
What are your daily engagements?
What keeps you engaged in them?

Let go of judgements, fear and worry

Nurture life to live.
Engage with it lovingly
Life can be beautiful!
Live and let live.

The Simple Truth
In knowing there is within you
The power of potential
Is one thing
But in knowing what to do with it
Is quite another
The way you choose to be
Your thoughts to deeds
Pave the path of life
That you live through
Every moment is a living truth
Of the choice you choose to make
And this is the simple truth .

What has life taught me today?
Life is a mystical journey.
Every now is as fresh as never before
And yet deeply rooted in yesterday.
In fact, every now is embedded
With the bygone and the future.
What I learn in this now
Is interweaved in eternity.
In these waves of understanding
Is life’s evolving ways for the being.
In letting go of the unnecessary
Is the space and freedom to be
All that one can be.
Every lesson that comes by,
Makes an imprint that matters
Somewhere, somehow.
Savvy
Beauty Of The Betwixt
Between the then and the yet to come
Is the moment of now.
Honour this space.
The bygone no longer matters;
The future is yet unknown.
Be present in this moment
Of infinite possibilities
For what is unfolding is in this now;
Life is truly here in this now.
In thoughts, words and deeds,
Attend to this space that is —
Honour the beauty of the betwixt.

Life & Living
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...
Sharing a touching story of truths of life and living…
THE HAPPIEST MAN
When Billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter, “Sir what can you remember made you the happiest man in life?”
Femi said: “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.”
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.
I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly. I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again”.
What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
Think! Live your life in a manner that others desire to see your face again.
Being Humane
Every skill can be taught and learned
But the truth of being is in our ways.
To be authentic to ourselves
To have and live with integrity
To be compassionate & care
To be kind and considerate
Most of all to be true to yourself…
Be a good human
And be humane.
You will find the best version of you!
Savvy
It’s all in you!
No matter what paths life takes you
No matter the circumstances you are in
No matter how tedious the journey
It’s all in you, and the attitude you have
And choose to cultivate in time
Life can challenge or you can change
Your way of seeing life
You can create joy or sorrow
As you choose to see life.
As you wish to live life
It’s all in you!

Sail on with a hope filled heart…
Sail on with a hope filled heart…
A new journey you are ready to start.
You have danced a countless steps to the tunes of life,
You have chosen to see beyond the strife.
Dare a new morning dear one …
Move on, as the past is over and done.
Watch the sky as a sign from above
How relentlessly and hopefully it brings forth the now.
How it regales us with a myriad hues,
What a divine brush painting those magical views.
Take cues from it as it carries on …
Constantly changing in every moment.
Across the horizon rests a whole new world.
Awaiting your arrival with joy to behold.
It seeks nothing from you, neither your past glories
Nor bothers about your many untold stories.
It asks you to simply move on from any past torment
As you step into this new moment.
Sail on dear one, with a heart filled with wonder
A new shore awaits, just across the yonder !
This is one of my photo inspired poem, the picture above denotes the let go as you move on, for to cling to the past scenarios simply delays the visibility of the the new views in the offing … Trust all that you are and sail on! ‘

Beyond the sum of our senses
Beyond the sum of our senses
Exists a field of potential,
Embodying possibilities.
Beyond fear and doubts
Exists a space for courage,
Emitting energy in hope and faith.
Myriad thoughts may fill our minds;
All is an illusion in the imagination.
If we wish to see it so,
There is always more
Beyond the dark; envisage the light
Unlearn the lessons taught,
Invoke the curiosity of your inner child,
Step back and see the bigger picture.
Rays of light will find their way!
