The first step
Often taken in blind faith
In love and expectations
To experience lifes best moments
With or without a backstep
With or without fear and doubt
On some corner of the mind & heart
Yet a step ahead in time
Makes all the difference
Between thinking and doing
For action speaks louder than words.

In being conscious of the peace
Available in this now
Awareness improves .
In being conscious of our decisions
Available to us as choices
Awareness improves
In being true to one self
In acceptance and acknowledgement
Of the uncertainties of life itself
Awareness improves
In conscious practices of awareness
There is serenity of wisdom.

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
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!

Life life Lovingly!
Someone asked me what advice would I share with my child…
I would simply share the below two pieces of advice that I came across, not only with my child, but to anyone who cares to follow.
As it will go a long way in the journey of life .
Two simple
formula of life
“Don’t make any
close relation
without full understanding…!
And don’t break
any close relation
with small misunderstanding..
Very thoughtfully said!
Life is beautiful in consideration & responses than kneejerk reactions.
Life is all about taking time to live and love but also to understand.
Life is precious and every relationship has a reason to be. Even if it’s just for a season it is meant to last its time.
Let’s never forget that…
So let’s value life, value relationships
And live life lovingly!!

Being rich is living life exploring and discovering all your possibilities of your potential
Being rich is being able to realize the potential of you.
Being rich is being ready to sense the abundance that is.
Money is not necessarily the only factor for your worth.
Your worth is being all that you are.
You are rich in knowing your worth.
Be enriched in health wealth & prosperity but most of all be rich in the heart and mind.
In realization of the contentment of what you have, you are truly rich!
Savvy
Life can never thrive in suppression
Or in denial and disapproval.
Or control and criticism
Choose to appreciate and approve.
Let go of the nagging and niggles.
Let go of judgements, fear and worry
Life is in each of us just the same.
Nurture life to live.
Engage with it lovingly
Life can be beautiful!
Live and let live.
Savvy
In the vividness of imagination
At times there is a turbulence of thoughts.
Of emotions entwined in the sensing.
Moving beyond, patterns forming…
Inspiration & ingenuity births itself
In the very uniqueness of individuality
Yet the source of creativity is infinity
Such is the divine mystic of creation.
Savvy
They say it’s what you do that matters
But it’s the thought that counts
Can we choose one thought over other
Yes we can in mindfulness
Being aware is the first step
The choice rests with you
For you are your thoughts
As much as your deeds .
Savvy
When we care to truly listen
We can hear our soul’s calling.
In the journey of life
Every one of us
Has a unique pathway
That is our reason to be
That makes us feel fulfillment
That speaks to us with all of our heart
That makes us see the signs
How far would you go
To find your pathway?
Savvy
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
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!
Savvy
If Creativity were to be all yang
Flowing along in infinite abundance
The mystic of this mistress is magnetic
Almost hovering on the hypnotic
And yet…
Creativity is a dance of balance
Of the yin and yang
Omnipresent in the flow.
In the unforgiving toughness
Is the challenge to continue
In her demands to deliver
Is the discipline of approach
In the chiding of the critiques
Is the attempt to evolve
Beyond the punishing schedules.
And in that trusting knowing
Actors act, sculptors sculpt
Writers write, painters paint
Singers sing, dancers dance
Finding purpose in the passion
In the artistry of creativity.
And as art empowers in the connectivity
Life carries on…!

Sharing my swirl artwork called Vorticity. This I created with my some of favourite colors to suit the mood of the day!
Vorticity
In the core is the dynamics of the flow ,
Sense the spiralling fluidity
Of the momentum moving along in circles
In the whirling is the dance of energy.
Savvy
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 .
