Dare to dream and walk on
Continue to persevere
In patience and passion
In faith and belief
In hope and trust
There is much good
You are meant to do
In your journey of life
Doubt not your ability
No matter the naysayers
For there will be plenty
Of those who will say so…
But very few who help
You do, what you do
In perseverance & patience
You create your purpose
And you find yourself
In possibilities.
It’s all possible because you know in your heart you can…

An interesting epic story with profound thoughts
“Tongue in Teeth……”
Strolling through the streets of Lanka at night, Hanuman was taken aback when he heard the chants of Sriram coming from a home.
They were not loud but whispers through the windows.
Hanuman wondered who could be chanting my Lord’s name in the city ruled by Ravan.
The house had a cluster of Tulsi plants outside and the walls had signs of Sri Hari.
Just then a man opened the front door and came out chanting the Holy Name.
The Sky was Starlit and it was couple of hours before Dawn.
The man offered water to the Tulsi plants, while performing a Circumbulation.
Hanuman hopped and stood before him, folding his hands.
The man introduced himself as Vibhishana, brother of Ravan.
Hanuman asked
“It baffles me: you are a devotee and a Noble Soul.
How on Earth you live among the Demons? “
Vibhishan smiled and said
“Just as the tongue lives in the mouth with thirty two teeth biting and grinding, around it, not only does the tongue remain untouched, it enjoys all the taste”.
The very food that sits and rolls on the tongue is chewed to a pulp by the teeth and yet this snaky little thing escapes unscathed.
Only time it is hurt is when we have a lapse of mindfulness.
Why?
Philosophically the chief difference is, flexibility.
The tongue’s flexibility is the key to its longevity.
That’s why it gets the taste while the teeth get Root canals and Cavities
They fall too or pulled out!.
But no one loses their tongue.
The tongue teaches…….
Others may grind and bite but you can still enjoy life if you are flexible.
Everything will hurt less, bother less if we loosen up a bit.. then an Avalanche of Peace and Joy is triggered.
If you want lasting Peace and Joy, learn from your tongue and live like it. Befriend it. Tame it. It has a great bearing on your relationship.
There is the power of sounds
Discovered in Silence
In meditative stillness
In contemplative introspection
In expansiveness of understanding
In the depth of listening
There is then the power of words
Of vision in the verses
Or expressions of the uniqueness
All mere vibrations in resonance.
Thank you for the depth of your empathic listening.

They say when life gives you lemons make a lemonade and enjoy it!
Profoundly said indeed!
Wisdom is in seeing what is possible
Making the best out of the resources
With whatever there is at hand.
It’s not always easy to see hope in scarcity
For it demands thinking beyond the limitations.
Bringing forth ingenuity & integration
Then all that’s impossible becomes worthwhile once again.
For such is life in the living.
A little sour and a little sweet
And it’s all in the tasting.
And about sensing in every sip.
Savvy
In the myriad moments
And multitude of experiences
In life and living.
There is so much going on
Betwixt and between us all.
So much to live and care for…
Often unsaid words
& repressed feelings
Are brimming in the sensing
Emotions have their way
Of expressing themselves
At inopportune moments.
But if we choose to take time
We can channel our thoughts
In mindful awareness.
Perhaps our emotions
Can be our precious gift
To sense and balance the self.
We are blessed with all
That we need from nature
Let’s acknowledge our gifts.

Do you know…
How beautiful is your face
When you smile…
How happy is your heart
When you laugh…
The Journey of life
Often challenges you
Where your smile is forgotten.
All you need then is to be
A little easy on yourself
And begin take life lightly
Take yourself a little less seriously.
For all you know
Chances are you will get over the grim moments
For change is the only constant .
All is meant to be just fine…
Just care to smile and laugh a little more
And find yourself
Living life lovingly!
Savvy
Aim to give selflessly
Whenever you receive goodness in words and deeds
Ensure you give back generously…
Acknowledge the good celebrate it
And reflect the rays of kindness
That way the sun beams never turn harsh
And the heart always feels light .

My photo of the day! Blooming in my terrace garden…
Roses have a beauty of their own
Colours contrasting with the green leaves
They blossom and capture hearts
Arrestingly captivating
To look at , enticingly fragrant
So delicate and fragile
But in all their vulnerability
Their charm flows in abundance
Always a sight to behold
Amazingly significant
For a Life so short lived!
Such is the wonder of life and living!
Amazing nature! Amazing beauty!
Teaching us it is not the length of time we live , but in how best we can live the time we have!

If you truly care to listen
There is much to understand…
So much to discover & more
For your soul speaks to you
Intuitively in every now
It knows your path
And where you are headed
It’s you who needs to trust
In your self in your journey.
And know, you are developing
Your intuitive connection
Every time you listen in.
Savvy
In every now
Is a choice
To enhance life
Within and around you
Whatever path you take
But how you live your life
What you feel in the living
What you choose to notice
What you are listening
And what you understand
From it all defines the now
And charts the way ahead.

The world’s oldest olive tree is in Greece.
The ‘olive tree of Vouves’ on the island of Crete, is 3500 years old
Every tree is beautiful
No matter where it is
But some take your breath away
In the sheer grace of abundance
Or even the grit of determination
In the shaping and the grounding
In the resilience and rootedness
Of nature’s manifestation.
Salute to the soul and spirit of trees.🙏
Savvy
Be all you can be
Express yourself
Let your Uniqueness
Begin to manifest in life
For that is what is meant
For you to do
And trust in the power of you.

A positive attitude is a choice we make for ourselves …
When we believe a positive attitude is a choice we have….
We can start by embodying positivity in thoughts, words deeds
And then, emitting positive vibes with the world around us.
Every small step we take to change to a positive attitude
Empowers us for the better.
Life is a Gift of grace
The choice is in us to make.
To make our life a celebration.

Your soul speaks
To you in many ways
Call it intuition
Your second brain
Or your gut feeling
Source coder’s intelligence
Imprints in every cell
Of your being.
For your survival
You are born with it
Listen when it speaks
You can trust it.

It’s said nothing is accidental
Everything happens for a reason.
After all
Everything resolves in time
For there is always a solution,
For every question before it appears.
And yet it is a difficult road to travel
Unearthing the answers
Some questions are resolved soon
And some take time and you are relentless in its pursuit
And some find answers when you are not even looking.
But the truth is in the very search
You are strengthened in many ways
In patience, perseverance
In trust and understanding
But most of all you acknowledge…
In faith of reaching out
In belief of something beyond
In hope of discovering more
In knowing of something more
Your spirit finds meaning
And your soul a purpose to go on .
