Life is awaiting your awareness
To realize the power of your potential.
Its all in the way you choose to live.
To let go & dare to dance the skies
To take the chance on the rapids
To walk along witnessing the flow
To sit by the shores sensing it all…
The choice rests with you…
Every moment is what you make of it
Your life your way!

Sharing a story that came my way on Social Media.
I am Travelling with you !
Every year Parents took their son to his Grandmother’s House for the Summer Break, and they would return Home in train after Two Weeks.
One Day the Boy tells
his Parents:
′′ I’m Grown Up now,
What if I go to Grandma’s House alone this Year ???”
After a Brief Discussion
Parents agree.
They were standing on the Railway Station, seeing him off,
Giving him Last Instruction through the Window,
As Boy continues to repeat:
′′ I know, you’ve already told me so many times…!”
Train is about to leave and Father whispers:
′ My Son,
If you suddenly feel Bad or Scared, this is for you !…… ′
And he slips something into his Pocket.
Now the Boy was all alone, sitting on the Train, without his Parents,
for the First Time…
He looks at the Scenery through the Window.
Around him Strangers Hustle, make Noise, Enter and Exit
the Compartment,
He gets that Feeling that he was alone..
A person even gives him a
Scary look…
The Boy felt uncomfortable…
And now he was frightened also.
He lowered his head, snuggled in a corner of the Seat,
tears rose to his Eyes.
At that Point he remembered his Father putting something in his pocket.
With a trembling hand he groped this piece of paper, and he opened it,
Son, “Don’t Worry,”
I am in the Next Compartment…
*Truth* :
This is How it is in Life…
When God has sent us in this World, all by ourselves,
HE has also slipped a note in our pocket,
*God Says:*
I am Travelling with you,
I am within your reach !
Call on Me…❗
🙏
What matters is the…
Innocence of simplicity
In being true to being you
Simplicity of Innocence
In thoughts words and deeds
To each their own!

What seems like a miracle
Is a work in progress
In awe and wonder
That springsforth a smile
Miracles happen
In utter faith
And relentless hope
Stay hopeful
Keep the faith
While Praying for the world to heal. 🙏

In your deepest turmoil
Writing becomes a let out
Words sensed and inked
Can bring balance to living
Such is the power of writing.
When life and living
Leaves scars behind
The pen colours life with hope.
With freshness of perspective
Hope inks itself into existence
And life goes on…

These are certainly abilities worth cultivating :))
Ability to see the good is a great habit to cultivate
Ability to respect the people for who they are.
Ability to work with diversity of thoughts
Ability to coexist in peace and harmony.
Ability to generate goodwill whenever we can.
Ability to make light of things
Ability to dance in the rain
As much as in the lightness of being.
Savvy
As we cultivate a space
Within and around us
To listen and observe
To understand and care.
We access the underlying wisdom
As we allow ourselves to notice
The ways of life and living
We come across fresh perspectives
When we allow ourselves to hear
The sounds of silence
We sense our feelings
We accept our emotions
And likewise..
We tune inwards a little more
In this conscious awareness
We practice…
To tap into our intuitive intelligence
In every cell of our being
Speaking through our senses.
To access the powers within.
All we need is to cultivate space.
Savvy
Align the self
Assimilate the learning
Acknowledge the lesson
Amplify your purpose
Accept your presence
Allow yourself to simply be

Silence is full of wisdom
When we listen in silence
We hear and understand more
Silence speaks more than words can say.
Listen to the intuitive
The meditative, contemplative
The reflective & the restorative voices
There is a connective wisdom
In the sounds of silence
Emanating from you.
It is your precious inner self
Expressing itself.
Be mindful and attentive
Listen if you can,
Every once in a while.”
Embody the peace within.

Very interesting perspectives…
I wonder what makes the mind want to take a spill to art.
What evokes the heart to charge the creator with imagination and energy…
To be able to create such artful associations.
Some learnings from a Spill
To turnover a spill to evolve for better
If a child has spilled a cup of milk accidentally….
To keep calm and address the lesson in the spill like carefulness, steadiness, patience, thoroughness, cleanliness and most of all mindfulness.
What’s is spilled, is spilled already…. what matters is what we do about it.
Savvy
As a child when my daughter dropped a glass of water, spilled milk on the floor accidentally, without getting angry admonishing, I have used it as moments to convey such lessons… so much so that it made her understand the value being in the moment while doing anything.
Great lessons can be taught in such moments and vulnerability can become a strength in time.
Similarly one can intend
To create hope in a spill…
To sense a pattern of possibilities in a spill
To use a spillover to change mindsets
To challenge the statuesque through a spill.
To evoke creativity and art…
To test skillsets learned from a spill
To create art in revisiting patterns & perspective
To spill some more and align the pattern formations.
To move beyond the evident spillover…
To envision hope beyond the accidental spill
To accentuate the spill artfully
To create masterpieces from the potential in a spillover…
To understand there is always a reason why and the learnings to come.
To empathize with the spillings across the learning curve
So the very act of overflow or spill
Or a cup that runneth over
Can be a turning point in itself
With the many lessons to learn.
The choice rests with us.

This post is a spillover effect from an earlier share by my good friend Ali Anani, PhD.
~ Silence ~
A day of Silence
Can be a pilgrimage in itself.
A day of Silence
Can help you listen
To the Soul play
In marvelous lute and drum.
Is not most talking
A crazed defense of a crumbling fort?
I thought we came here
To surrender in Silence,
To yield to Light and Happiness,
To Dance within
In celebration of Love’s Victory!
~ Hafiz ~
Be silent and sense the stillness
A million moves may be more
Are manifesting in this now
Hear the music unfold its rhthym
Be still and sense the moves
For stillness is full of movements
In the depth of Silence
We witness the dance within.

Have you ever wondered
What is it on your path
That makes you persevere
Like no tommorow
To keep giving all of you…
Something that is on the fringes
Something tangible and yet intangible
It is that which sparks you up
Nothing feels unbearable
Its as if your mind body & soul
Is finally integrated in the sensing
Of the brilliance at work
Beyond yourself.
You will know that when you meet
The purpose of your being
At some point in your life perhaps
In the most unexpected of ways
You will find in yourself
An energy summoned from within
To reckon with to persevere on.
Such is the dance of abundance
Of creation at play
Making life resonate to its cosmic ways…
Savvy
Personally speaking, I have a deep interest in the art of movements, especially the ones that elucidate the flow… perhaps that is why I love dancing but on the other hand I have been equally captivated by the beauty of Tai chi and more so Qi Gong.
The healing energy of movement has often been a subject of deep passion, respect and research for me.
Likewise I am especially fond of the flowing Waltz as well. Since childhood, dancing comes naturally to me but have always found myself grappling to understand why martial art is even necessary.Until much later I started exploring the potency of energy in each of us…through a little introduction into Tai chi as well by conscious choice.
Allow me to present my reflections on this subject in a flow….
In a dance
There is an interconnect
Of emotion and movement
As to emote is to sense
The feeling in the flow…
In dance there is an awareness
Of moving in response
Without anticipation.
As in one step less,
The music moves on
And you are left to improvise
On how to match the steps in rhythm.
Yes, truly to dance is to enjoy the life in the moves.
In martial arts
There is flow too
But a flow that is ever in alertness,
In strategic moves and self defense
The speed and swiftness
In reaction and response.
Martial arts often feels like dance… t
But often the difference
Is between life and death.
Both are connected in the deepest sense and yet distinctive like chalk and cheese.
The intention to dance and to fight…is what differentiates.
We dance to let go, to enjoy this now and celebrate it.
In awareness is a flow that merges in harmony to synch in with now in artistry of the moves
The warrior is fighting for peace for survival against all odds
Not knowing what is the next move but yielding to the now to decipher the countermove and strike.
Here too there is often a display of extreme artistry of motion in accuracy of time.
To learn both, takes dedication and practice in patience.
But most of all is the need for relentless will & passion to persevere .
Yes, there is a dancer in a warrior
And a warrior in the dancer.
Choice rests within you.
Just remember, to dance is to live the moments and explore its most aesthetic potential in the flow… choose not to make dance a fight.
Stay joyful in peace.
To learn martial arts is to get into the arena and survive.
Attack or in self defense with least possible harm to get out of harms way to stay in peace.
Both may have their own relevance in purpose
To negate one is to look at only one half of the circle
Just as much as joy is part of life
Safekeeping the freedom to be
Is equally important in every now…
Do you want to dance in peace
Do you want to fight for peace.
Choice is yours to make
Peace or war!
Savvy.
Is the beguiling beauty of nature
Meant to have its own purpose
Afterall,everything is connected
Nothing is accidental.
However free in abandon we may feel
In this moment, we are bound
By the laws of nature
And its in these tangible connects
In being part of nature
We are deeply disturbed
By the imbalances of nature.
All of animaldom chooses harmonious
Coexistence with natures laws.
Unlike humans who try to outsmart nature and its ways.
Yet nature nourishes and nurtures itself in every now.
Such is the truth of life and living in nature.
High time to evolve with the lessons
nature shares.
Know that there is always a reason
To the way things are…
What we cannot see with our eyes
Nature of nature, emotes through our senses
Leaving the heart imprints,
Of wisdom in impressions for all of posterity…
