When the shift is known by the mind
And felt in the heart
Then every thing moves
In conscious awareness.

Hope Against Hope
We brave the chances
We take the risks
We endure the worst
For we know the world is round
All is meant to flow
And hence there is heartfelt hope
In the most difficult moments
Simply know hope is here to stay

Messenger of Peace
Wherever you are
Be a messenger of peace
Sense the hope that peace brings
In its wake, life regenerates.

Peace Matters More
We all fight…
For what we believe to be right
Yet sometimes we need to see
What is happening in and around us
Are we building or destructing?
Are we going to the point of no return
Engaging without rethinking
The point of it all…
How many battles do you wish you had backed out?
How many do you wish you had withdrawn?
How many arguments do you think you could have avoided?
Have you felt totally drained after a war of words?
How many times have you sensed the pointlessness of such a debate?
Sometimes it’s better to withdraw than fight
When you sense the futility of war
Be selective what you choose to focus on
The choice rests with you
Choose peace over war
For peace matters more.

The Wisdom Of Letting Go
“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond winning.” – Lao Tzu
Trying to win is good
But when that very trying
Is consuming the life out of you
Would you think it over?
We teach ourselves
To try and try until we win
But there is always a point of tipping over.
Knowing when to bend so you do not break
Is a lesson in letting go…
When you are able to discern the detachment dispassionately
When you are able to rise beyond comparisons & competitions
When you are able to sense the contentment in what you have
You are meeting your true Self
For you are able to acknowledge in acceptance
The truth of what truly matters
In the learning to let go
You have witnessed there is abundance
In the circles of being there is always more
What is, was and will be
Always has a reason yet to understand
There is wisdom in the letting go!

Play of opposites
In the play of opposites
Life continues to churn out
The magic that is within us all
As we bring out the best of ourselves
We inspire another for some more
One thing leads to another they say
Such is the circle of life and living.

Learning to live
Are you feeling you are trying to live
Between the raindrops?
Or maybe you feel
You are surviving between the rapids
For life is not always a bed of blooms.
Is there a trick to the whole process?
To thrive from between to the beyond
To live through the unfolding journey.
Waltzing through without warping up
Smiling throught it all
Singing the song of hope than remorse
Question yourself
Is it just a matter of priorities
What truly matters after all?
What makes for a life
That’s worth its while?
All one needs to do is experience the journey
Because the destination takes care of itself!
Savvy
Life
One who knows the worth of life
Cannot afford to waste
Even a single moment of life
Care to take a step
Towards a more meaningful life.
Every now is awaiting your awareness
To envision the potential within
Every new day is a gift of possibilities
Care to make today count!

Tweak your approach tweak your life
Your approach changes everything
The way you live
The way you work
The way you play
Choose to look forward to finding the joy
In whatever you do
If you can find something to better
Something to improve from
Something to grow and expand potential
Then by all means focus on it
Spend time to learn possibilities
Making work feel better than before
Find the meaning & purpose
In whatever you do
Work to make a positive difference
Tweak your approach tweak your life

Profound Life lessons
Disciple:
What is poison?
Guru:
When we have something more than our needs it becomes poison. It can be power, wealth, love, hatred or even hunger.
Fear?
When we do not accept impermanence it becomes fear.When we accept impermanence it becomes adventure.
Jealousy?
When we are not ready to accept the goodness of others it becomes jealousy. When we start accepting it becomes a motivational force.
Anger?
When we cannot bear things happening beyond our control it becomes anger. When we start accepting it becomes tolerance.
Hatred?
Not accepting others as they are, turns into hatred. Unconditional acceptance becomes love.
A profound post share in Tamil translated by my dear mother Anjana.
Fractality of creativity
If we were to only reach deeper
Than we know see or believe
Is the truth and begin to accept
And acknowledge the yet unknown
The unfamiliar & the unexplored
Structured to the unstructured
The understandable to the inexplicable
Sensations in our emotions.
All vying for our attention
Or even the patterns manifesting itself…
In space continuum
We are opening ourselves
To the spectre of multi dimensions
Possibilities are infinite
Fractality of creativity.

On Gentleness of Being
Life is precious
And so are relationships
Remember, gentle is the way
When you walk with another
There is much you do not know
You never know the hidden truths
For some wounds are deep and invisible.
So walk gently, care sincerely live lovingly

Magic of New Beginnings…
One of my favorite quotes:
“Tomorrow I’ll think of some way… after all, tomorrow is another day.
Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind
This post is a dedication to a hopeful spirit.
No matter the calamities
No matter the challenges that come along…
In moments of deep despair
Know there is light around the corner
When the night turns dark
Know the dawn awaits full of light
Keep the faith & trust there is always more
In the infinite abundance
When one door closes
Another opens they say!
Keep the hope alive in your heart
And trust the magic of new beginnings💙

Align in the Flow
Speaking of opposites at play
Between the expansion and contractions.. Between the conflicts and clarity
The dance of the heart and mind goes on
Only to meet somewhere midway in peace
And adjusts itself in the circle of life.
After all there is a place and space
For every manifestation
Somehow everything aligns in the flow

A Face
A little bit of freetime and a mobile phone art app in your hand can make the moments come alive…
I started to paint the screen with all my favorite colors… but then somehow somewhere in between I sensed a face pop and I continued to sketch away at leisure and found a face staring righton .
Now the face was somewhat serious and I just could not gel with that, as the moment was anything but that, so I just had to play with my fingers on the screen just a bit and lo and behold that face was more appealing to me now.
It’s a work in progress…Yes I could have gone on refining this piece,there is a lot of room for it, but somewhere I just stopped adding more to it ,perhaps I might pick it up in posterity and paint some more.
P.s Must mention I used no stylus, just my fingers for this one. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece of art.
How did you like my mobile art ?
Which face resonates with you today?
