Grateful

I AM GRATEFUL

For this moment of peace

In this now I am present

To know it’s preciousness.

And grateful in soulful awareness

That the Universe in and around

Is taking care of everything else 🙏

Infinite possibilities

Touch beyond the feeling
Sense beyond the seeing
Move beyond the doing
Listen beyond the hearing
Engage beyond the working
Give beyond the gaining
Think beyond the worrying
Play beyond the winning
Blend beyond the bordering
Involve beyond the training
Share beyond the owning
Will beyond the trying
Help beyond the supporting
Heal beyond the treating
Flow beyond the envisioning
Care beyond the loving
Dare beyond the comforting
Explore beyond the limiting
Reach beyond the knowing
Live beyond the existing…
Know Infinite is the truth of being!

Truth of Meditation

Happened to read a profound quote share of Lao Tzu, from
The Tao Teh Ching by my wonderful blogger friend Eddie Two Hawks here https://wp.me/p16fFF-6Ic

Here is my contemplation based on the quote

Close the doors..
Of the chaos of thoughts
Of unnecessary judgements
in the making
Close the doors…
Consciously in the noticing
In mindfulness than mindlessness &
overthinking.
This is the truth of meditation
In all its simplicity
And in all its profoundness.

Lens of compassion

When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown

The way we see the world
Changes our experiences
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.

On friends & friendships

Friendship…

Happens in the strangest of times
In an elevator, in a parking lot
In a bus, while walking or in flight
As a student  or as a teacher

Friends may come and go
To make you live life a little better
Think a little deeper with care
Value these gifts strewn in your life.

Friends make you see your worth
Because they want you as you.
Not an imagined version of you
So be you as you are in friendship.

Find time for a good friend
Whenever you both sense and feel it
Turn not your back on them
Know, friends are coming your way

Embody the light of friendships
Savour the joy and nurture friends Time and time again
They can be yours for lifetimes.

One positive thought.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
Robert H. Schuller

One positive thought
The power of positive
Adds life to the years
Firms up the faith
Heals with hope
Brings trust in time
Makes us believe again.
So much to live for
Than simply languish.
Such is the power of positive thinking…

Steer your life for the better
Think a positive thought

Well here is mine
I think today is a beautiful day

Care to share a positive thought
in this now?

What face do you want to choose?

In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…


Love is matter of perspective.
It can pick the color of one’s mood.

It can make us generous.
It can make us selfless.
It can make us strong.
It can protect.
It can bind us
It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings.
It can do magic and wonders.
It can make us feel light.


Another face of love

It can be possessive.
It can make us  jealous.
It can make us angry.
It can make us weak
It can hide the loved one’s faults.
It can blind us
It can make us vengeful.
The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.

Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands.
Which face do you want to choose ?

Divine love can make you see light.
Embodying this light, keep the journey on.
The path will be illuminated.
The journey will be a blessing.
Keep the love and light in your heart,
To make this journey pleasant .

A poem by my mother Anjana

Songs of the soul

Words flow, as if they are meant to
Everything that is has a reason why
How they come be and for what
Is also it’s own doing in time.

In bits and pieces in the moments
In a downpour like  in a storm
As a spark to ignite hope in the dark
To shed light on the invisible.

Words that flow through you
Arrive in the sensing in clarity
And at times vague from nowhere
In verses, prose or lyrics

In a particular pattern
That seems to self arrange
For only those who it matters
Perhaps afor it to be seen and heard

Words live on in their hearts
As songs of their soul
It makes sense to those who care
To read it in their own way…

Heal as you write

Poetry is a brilliant trickster
As much a true friend
For it masks the truth cleverly in words
As much as it heals away in the expressions.


In the letting go of  dense emotions
Is the channeling towards balance
To the lightness of being
Where there is space created
In between thoughts and actions
For more cathartic connections.

Poetry revives the spirit of the soul
Through soulful words that flow
Out of nowhere explicable
For it has a purpose of its own
In trust know, that it finds itself
The path its meant to be.

Be it poetry or prose, fiction or non fiction, words can be the gamechanger.

How many of you writers agree?

Spirit Ablaze…

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.

Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.

I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.

Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

Meet life.

Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows

Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why

And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.

Hope beyond despair

Yesterday night a quote caught my eye…

You will continue to suffer if you
have an emotional reaction to
everything that is said to you
True power is sitting back and
observing things with logic. True
power is restraint. If words
control you that means everyone
else can control you. Breathe
and allow things to pass

Warren Buffet

Read as you please

Read as you please…
For I choose to let it go.

What I wrote yesterday
And what I write today
Depends on what inspired
Between the then and now.

Often as a writer
If I take a stand
And my words
Are strong enough
To impact another
In more ways than one…

Simply know I write
With all my heart and soul
And trust myself, to let it go
To make space in me
For more to explore and discover.

As any poet will,
I witness and listen
To each moment
As it plays out
And I sense and feel
When I think and write…

Choose not to see me
In these words,
What I will write about next
Is mystery to me too…
For as any creative artist
I  may choose to make words dance
For me and for you..

Different dances
For different days
Some light and breezy
Some deep and intense.

Sometimes words emerge
Out of nowhere
To self arrange themselves
All I do is follow the flow…

Sometimes these words strike
A chord deep in you and me
And that is where the words
Find their purpose to be.

Words are mere words
Feelings make all the difference
And feelings differ day to day…
So read my words, as you please
For I choose to let it go.
