We are the Universe And the Universe is in us In every cell in every breath We are connected But can we really say We are born equally Yes, we are flesh and bones But we live our life differently We have different experiences In the interconnects all through Are we not responsible for it? The way we lead ourselves The way we behave Is the gamechanger. For the law of nature Knows not favourites In nurture nature grows Whatever is Sown This is the reality No matter the illusions We reap as we sow…
We are an ever growing circle Emerging through our words In the sharing we have grown We have eased into each other’s hearts We may not see one another ever But we have connected in mutual respect Of each others creativity. Though the power of words Comforted and understood Accepted and appreciated One another in our own little ways. For we all know the power of words That, one heartfelt word can change a day!
Thank you all for being here and hoping for a joyful journey ahead together for us all.
A memory rushed in through the photograph I chanced upon.
A decade or more back, I remember how I passionately volunteered to train seniors to dance at the local church in Mumbai. This photograph is a reminder of them praying together on my birthday.
And we celebrated with a cake…
I knew not them beyond the Dance class.
They knew not me beyond the dance
But this motley crew of seniors
Made me feel very special
On my birthday and on every Monday too.
The day of their dance class.
Meet we would at 6 pm sharp
Without fail come what may…
These warm and courteous seniors were always on time….
These simple unassuming souls
Somehow etched their place in my heart.
Will cherish the memories forever
I thank them for trusting me & having me around.
And more importantly for the kind prayers & blessings.
Sharinge my earlier post again for this new year as it is a deeply meaningful excercise in Gratitude and Positivity to me.
The Gift of Life …
“When I was a little girl I often have witnessed my dear father see and give great value and acknowledge every little good that is or happens , however small they may seem to others. It could be a with a gentle word, a tiny appreciation or a little compliment. He taught me one of most important lesson for a lifetime… to notice, respect and reflect on the good in and around us… and to live positively and think of life always as Plus++++es .
Life is beautiful as it is and it is in us to see it so …”
Life is strange Strange is life Just like that Life turns around Difficult becomes easy Miseries come to an end Problems find a solution Trust in a deliverance Hope against hope Keep the faith Life finds a way
That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love. William Wordsworth
On Giving
Give the good you have Every time before the ask Consciously consistently Every time you do You create space within For more good to find its way in
In reality Giving from all of you Is much easier done than said For all you need is to be you Giving with all your heart Making it a regular practice Sensing true freedom in spirit Aligning you with the Universe A little more in every deed.
There are always special moments in every one’s life Making life meaningful and memorable Often it’s pure serendipity… When your memory jogs you to remember such a moment.
What makes the memory strong? What you are associating it with, That is what makes the memory stronger.
Next time pay attention to whatever you want to remember. What emotions and feelings can you associate with it? As your visualisation gets stronger Your memory gets better and will fade lesser in time.
Now remember to visualise with vibrance. Choose as you please, Scents & fragrances of places Nature & friendships Colours of Emotions In all its vividity &feelings.
Soon you will build on all the happy times. Keep adding your treasure chest of memorable moments.
Someone asked me what spiritual growth means to me …
Here is what I spoke about in a nutshell
Harmony in mind body & spirit Integration in Self awareness Developing greater understanding & Empathy Humility & Kindness Humanity & Compassion.
Living in the lightness of being Acknowledging Grace in Gratitude Sensing true freedom to be…for the self and others. To flow with life in serenity. Sensing the joy in the ordinary.
It’s about acknowledging & sensing the space in around me
It’s about giving in the receiving and receiving in the giving
Witnessing the evolving patterns and freeing the self from limitations of the mind.
Evolving in the learnings, valuing the connection built in time. A mindful & heartful practice in conscious awareness. Letting go of unnecessary things Understanding the value Of the gift of life Making life meaningful. Living life lovingly!
And in knowing it’s so much more….
Please feel free to add what spiritual growth means to you?
To travel Can be about discovery Of the old in the new places Leading you to pathways That takes you back to your self
To travel Can be a sensing of serendipity. A feeling of dejavue A memorable journey Unexpectedly unto yourself.
To travel Can be to witness The stark reality of life Perhaps a jolt of reality Of places and people As they are in comparison to what was once imagination.
To travel Can be to learn and unlearn To connect us to this now With the truths of things In places we visit Know and unknown.
Keep traveling far and near to find yourself a little more every time.
