The Antwerpen Christmas Market is spread out over several streets and squares lighting up the entire historical centre of Antwerp beautifully into a huge and happening zone to stroll around in…
Glowing in the night!
Beating the winters chill
Sitting by warm fire pits…
Sipping hot glühwein!
And the mistletoe?
Well its no small branch
But a giant one indeed!
Fit for all the crowd that gather under
Just to share their love for each other….💞

On beliefs
Irony of cognition
As long as our beliefs are taking us through
We are comfortable
But if our beliefs, blur our vision
We are confounded
We become guarded
And want to protect our opinions
Even if they are erring
In fact we are most hostile
When we are aware deep within
How wrong we actually are !
Rather than allowing ourselves to evolve
We step in our own way of growth
Becoming mental contortionists
Twisting and turning
With the assumptions & notions of truth
Until we find an angle that upholds
Our current views.
Our beliefs can be our strength as much as our weaknesses. In allowing ourselves to accept something new or different to what we are used to or expect, we begin to open up our minds and hearts.
Think about your own beliefs, are there moments where you were challenged by your own beliefs,
Were there times when you feel that some of your own beliefs need a thinkover?
Often we assume we are totally in the know and believe it to be so like a frog in the well.
Yet the truth shows up differently from these illusions we live in, and then we realize how far away from the truth we actually are!
There is always more…
Possibilities in the infinity
So much more to learn
So much more to discover
So much more to explore
So much more to know…

Journey on until you meet yourself
For embedded along the path
Of many echelons of time,
Life leaves imprints on the living.
There will be many experiences
That would make your soul cry
Out in pain and pleasure,
Sensing connections
Beyond this lifetime.
Journey on, nevertheless,
For in meeting the many
Moments that may seem enmeshed with you,
You will be closer to yourself.
In travelling along
Come moments that seem
To speak straight to the heart
Of the truth of your being.
All is familiar, there is déjà vu.
You know the scenario only too well
For you know you have been right here.
All else is immaterial and immaculate.
You won’t need any guide
Then as you partake in the joy
Of this meeting with this being
You know you have found yourself.

To a true artist
The medium is immaterial
Everything is association
The elements converge
Every thing connects
Subtlety emerges distinctly
Dancing to the winds of change
Inner motivation leads the way
To find meaningful expressions
In the myriad manifestations
Even in the seemingly banal existence
Creativity sparks from everywhere.
Such is state of fractal flow
Of Art & Artistry.
But then is there a true or fake artist?
For beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
And possibilities of creativity infinite
Art is a moment of reckoning
Of acknowledgement and appreciation
Evoking critical responses & feedbacks
In support or diversity of emotions
Forming new patterns in the experiences
Invoking the spirit of creation
Once more…

As the year comes to a close only to begin anew… a special thanks to all the people who send inspirations our way by their profound shares.
Recently my friend Christoph retweeted this post on Twitter commenting…
‘As above so below’
And it drew me to contemplate on the profound truths of reflections in rootedness of life and its myriad expressions.
Of the uncanny resemblance of the roots, branches in a tree to the nerves and vertebrae of mamals including man.
Of how our energy is a flow of potential endless patterns in possibilities.
Of reflections of resounding resonance in nature
Of infinite abundance in its manifestations
Of parallel dimensions & more beyond compare
In the spaces between the synapses
There is a plethora of profound truths
Awaiting our awareness
So much to explore and discover!
As above so is below
As outward so is within
Vast beyond belief
In faith and hope
Everything is envisioned..

Peace is a state of being
More than just a state of mind
Peace needs consistent practice
You have to nurture your heart
Towards a state of peaceful being
The mind wanders in a million ways
The heart flutters at a moment’s notice
Such is the way of life and living
So let your dancing heart & mind
Find their way towards coexistence
Acknowledging each of their diverse states.
Let their potential converge to strengthen
Let the sense of peace be understood well
Until peace becomes of a way of life.
Care to protect your peace.
Savvy
As you move forward
In expansiveness & inclusiveness
In the spirit of collaboration
Than mere competition
Gradually you begin to sense the strength
In the circle of conscious connections.
Savvy
Thanking the past for the precious lessons of life and lets emerge as wiser and brighter and stronger than ever before while embracing the present in conscious awareness !🙏

In deepest turmoil
Choose the power of Gratitude
For in its positive intentions
And glory of goodwill
Life turns harmonious
Every things aligns perfectly
And music resounds its magical melodies
All is well once again
Gratitude is gratefulness
In acceptance & acknowledgement
Of the grace in goodness
Bestowed upon us
No storm is too strong in its wake
Glory to the Gladiator of Hearts
The chaperone of connectedness
That seeks to invoke the strength
In these interconnects in life & living
For no man is too strong
As much as all of us together
I bow to the grace of Gratitude!
Savvy
Your deepest beliefs
Can make or break you
Understand you come from abundance
You are blessed with uniqueness
Your uniqueness is beyond compare
When you are aware of this truth
You shine from where you are!
This simple truth sets you free
Beyond preconceived notions
Beyond perceptions and prejudices
Liberating you from doubts & assumptions
To be all that you can truly be!
Savvy
If we are ready to explore
Beyond our limited existence
We begin to envision our potential
If we are ready to receive
We learn some more!
Our paths are unique in every now
And limitless are our possibilities
We are meant to evolve along the way
Such is the way of life
And yet …
We are all a work in progress
We cannot know it all
There is always room for more
Change is the only constant
While nature is abundant
Knowing is finite
Yet infinite are the possibilities!
Savvy
If you are feeling upset
Let time pass
Hurts will heal again
If you are angry
Let there be pauses
Anger will recede in the silence
If you are defeated
Let yourself know
That the world is a circle
The night breaks into a new dawn
With promises of a blessed new day!
So stay patient in perseverance
And know every phase has a reason to be
Learn to forgive and let go
And as all is meant to be well once again.
Savvy
Your Energy speaks before you do
In every move there is energy
In the space that you occupy
In every step, your energy leads the way
Your thoughts your feelings & your action
Are interweaved and deeply interconnected
Acknowledge the energy of your being.
Savvy
Life presents new paths at every turn
Every now has new learnings.
The trick is to be present in this moment
To understand the evolving perspectives
To be one with the changes that manifests
Be present Be adaptable Be receptive!
Savvy
Self compassion is about treating yourself with kindness.
Put your thoughts in perspective.
Failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. Allow yourself to acknowledge defeat but not get caught up in it
Learn to cope and grow beyond the setbacks.
And try to be an encourager to yourself & be a friend!
