The Path of Clarity

Life takes us many paths

We walk many roads

We experience many bumps

We feel this too shall pass

And wait for the better.

But what if we realize

The bumps and boulders

That come in our path

Are the pathways for clarity

They are the kind of roads

We have to pass through

To become who we are.

Everything has a reason

Nothing is accidental

So next time you find

A bump on the path

Acknowledge the wisdom

That it brings along

In the path towards clarity.

If these lines resonate with you and you would like to listen to more such reflections on life’s subtle  wisdom and find meaning that  every day moments offer, feel free to tune in to my podcast The Path Of Clarity on Spotify.

It is a work in progress, yet I look forward  to reading your responses and learning more.

Blooms of peace

Today my mornings photography muse is this beautiful white hibiscus   tenderly unfurling itself in the green foliage..I simply had to click a picture…

There is so much peace

That a white blossom emits

A sense of spirituality

Pervades in its unfurled petals

A guest for just a single day

Who better than this bloom

Gracing my garden today

To teach the truths of life.

Of living life lovingly

Garnering the wisdom of changes

Of impermenance

Its petals. proud & present

In this precious now.

Without worries of tommorow

So much dignity in its beauty.

Perhaps it understands

Transience of nature 

In the phases of life

Only too well

While it blooms  in peace.

Flowing with life lovingly

Everything is in this now

Who am I in this now,

Matters more than ever before

For tomorow that is yet to arrive.

Instead of mulling over

Uncertainties of life

Disappointments & falls

Rise in this moment.

Ask the self

Who am I in this now?

Whatever and however this moment presents…

Am I able to look at what is?

Meet it with composure?

What are my kind of choices ?

Am I reacting or responding  

In this now of my life?

Perhaps in this vulnerable space

With the truths of my being,

I sense myself growing

From and out of every  experience.

That teaches me to listen

Allowing me to flow with life

Making sense, along the way.

Knowing in my heart

That I am not a stagnant pond

Nor a stone refusing to roll.

For rolling stones gather no moss

I flow with lightness

Living life lovingly.

Smile from the heart!

It’s truly a wonderful way to live inside out.

There is a lot in life to be thankful for .

Sending such an intention outward is an unending hope, that life never hardens, the living with all our heart & soul.

Who lifts you up?

Over the years

Living life teaches much.

Every person in your life

has an unique role to play.

Sometimes they are necessary for you

at times, you are necessary for them.

Life happens along the way,

leaving lessons fine.

Your emotional equation matters more than you think.

Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.

Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.

Choose your circle, its your right.

Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…

You have one life.

Choose well…

Way Of Peace

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts

The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.

And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.

We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.

Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.

Make the way of peace

A way of life.

Retrouvaille

Meeting an old friend
A kindered spirit
Or a loved one …

The joy of uniting
After being afar 
Speaks of interconnections…
Where time and space
Evaporates without a trace
In the moments together.

Its often said
Absence makes the heart
Grow fonder…
So is it the distance
That makes reunion sweeter?
Gibran wisely said…
Let there be spaces
In your togetherness

So whatever the relationship
With another or with the self ,  the very act of reconnecting  with an old hobby, that you  were once passionate about,  makes it truly memorable.
For what is truly meaningful, is never lost … it’s simply awaiting a return.

Savvy

PS: The word Retourvaille (often spelled Retrouvailles in French) is a beautiful, untranslatable French word that perfectly captures a specific, deeply felt human experience.
Literally translated, it means “rediscovery” or “the finding of something again.”

The Game Changer

Often it is in the adversity,

you meet your true strengths.

In the tests of life,

you find your true self.

That which you discover

in these challenges,

arrives in the journey

to steer you on your path.

So hold on, in trust & faith.

For no matter what,

all in not lost.

You will find it in you,

to begin anew. 

In experiences of adversity, 

you meet yourself.

And that’s the gamechanger.

A question to my reader…

If you were to think of the past challenges,what comes to mind as a strength you uncovered about your self that you wouldn’t  have found any other way ?

The Power of Calm

​There is charisma in calm.

It’s the power of stillness

in life’s highs and lows.

​In calm lies confidence,

invoking assurance.

To be calm in a conversation

evokes an energy of peace…

a vibrancy devoid of agitation.

​Within the calm, there is a depth of awareness.

At the center of composure

is the potential to assimilate;

no matter the chaos,

you find your equilibrium.

Contemplations

When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?

​What does calm feel like to you in this moment?

What is the distance between you and your sense of serenity?

Where and how do you think you can find your center?

A Note on the Dawn

My morning moments hold a precious tranquility for me. I choose the dawn to set my intention for the day ahead. In the quiet moments before the world wakes, I find my creative state of flow. Although I strive to connect with this peace throughout the day, the energy of the early morning resonates most deeply. It sets the tone for everything that follows.

​How do you relate to the calm of dawn?

How do you sense the power of calm?

Levity of spirit

A little lightness of being

Takes you through the day

Dark moments turn lighter

Inject a dash of humor

When life feels too somber

Uplifting the moments…

So partake in a little levity of spirit

Its good for the soul .

An unrealized dream…

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Weathering the storms

Wither not yourself away

Weathering the storms

Every life finds itself

In the whirlpool of chaos.

And often unfortunately so.

Pick yourself up

Dust away the doubts

Don your best attitude

And look ahead

At a not so distant time

And trust in yourself

For storms precede the calm.

 

Sense the strength of spirit

Moving towards your purpose

Know every storm has one

Find yourself on your way

To fulfilling your soul purpose.

Valley of Reactivity

Between & betwixt  spaces

Of pause and activity

 In the thinking and doing

Overcome the challenges

Of the conflicts of being.

Move on from valleys of reactions

From impulsive actions

That stems from assumptions

Reach out in responsiveness

Being positively intentional

Leading to clarity

In the deeper listening.

What matters?

It’s not just about your intelligence

It’s about your understanding

It’s not just about your skills 

It’s about your application.

What matters …

Is not just in what you have 

But in what you do with it

Walking in alignment

I walk across the golden sands,

Leaving footsteps of my memories

Flowing in faith across the lands

Celebrating life in the moments.

I sense something limitless

As I dare to share, the truth of me.

I touch the truth of my potential.

In the sensing,  in the  feeling and doing…

My body, heart & mind in alignment

Abundance manifests itself…
