Cage not the spirit of a bird
If you truly want to hear
The soul song of a bird
Plant a tree…
For life gives unto life
Such is nature of nature

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

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How many do you wish you had withdrawn?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!

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!

Favourite music
On song writing:
“We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it’s timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there’s going to be a real appreciation.” -Art Garunkel
What is great music to you?
Is it the song how it sounds to you ?
Do you pay attention to the lyrics?
Sometimes great lyrics alone don’t make a great song,
And often great song has hardly any depth to its lyrics
So what are your favorite or evergreensongs the ones you listen to always?
What is it that makes it, to your favorite list?

Hope is here to stay!
Covid has come
Covid will go
Herd immunity
Now at play
Will leave
With markings
Of a common flu
And yet the waves
Will leave us
Imprints of Resilience
In the cells of our being
Progressively in time
But speaking of the future
If we are able to see
Beyond the nightmare
Of the past
There is a shift
In the way of life
Of the way of living
At work & at play
The impacted have wisened
Earlier than others
But there is an awareness
No less in the rethinking
Of the workplace that works
From physical to hybrid.
Exploring possibilities
With our virtual connections
With precious commute time saved
Families have sensed the togetherness
Experienced the pros & cons of wfh
Yet work has continued
Buisness collapsed yet many revived
Reinventing the ways of work
A sense of knowing prevails
All is not lost
For technology has come in aid
Of mankind at its hour of need
A semblance of normalcy regained
But with a redesigned version
Of what is the new normal
Organization operates
Repattererned in the sensing
Of what is redundant
And what actually works!
Hope is here to stay…

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.
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?

Partner with peace
Value of power of peace within you…
Today in this moment
Are you ready
To partner with peace
Do you have the power
Of a grateful heart
That knows to live light
And waltz in harmony with life!

Heartprints of Serendipity
How intuitive are you?
Do u sense the subtlety
In nature and its mystical ways
Of sending signs and symbols your way?
For you to understand perspectives
Beyond assumptions & notions
To create an insightful vision
Of the unfolding realms
Of the possibilities in the potential.
There is always a reason
Why you are gifted with intuitive intellect.
Consider ways to use it for goodwill
Think larger, widen your perspectives
For the world at large
Can you use this subtlety of knowing
And leave heartprints of Serendipity?
