There is dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
Of nature’s creation.
There is the grace of uniqueness
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence …
I bow in Gratitude to this Grace.🙏

Ultimately it all about finding time
For a…
A little laughter to keep you light
A little kindness along the way
A little walk for your good health
A little whiff of fragrance divine
A little tune to hum through the day
A little step to carry it through
A little tap down the memory lane
All to align you to your happiest self

WordPress says I have published 1500 posts!! Calls for a little celebration of this milestone and thankfulness in Gratitude to you my dear readers in this journey together! 🙏😊
The Journey so far…
The simple act of writing a little everyday, penning down my thoughts and sharing with you all here, the time spent here, has been deeply rewarding in more ways than one. Yes, a moment of reckoning indeed of all those contemplative times.🙂
While some of you my readers have suggested me to focus on the monentary benefits of blogging, yet a few of you have appreciated my artworks and also suggested that I must compile a book in some of the kind comments you leave, which I will cherish for a lifetime. So thank you all for encouraging & supporting me right through…
As many of you my readers already know, I diligently practice writing a post every day for over three years now…
This is beautiful canvas space of expression for myself on all the little things that come my way and touch me one way or the other
The Vision Ahead …
I believe I am now ready to explore the idea of compiling a book of my writings. So I would truly love to hear from those of you who have walked the path of publishing your books.
Yes there is a lot of information on the internet about publishing, but I think to listen to you my readers, and hear your individual and unique wisdom garnered from your own experiences in publishing a book as a fellow writer would add a relevant perspective.
And secondly if you could share your thoughts of my writings, it would help in understanding more of what you envision of me as a writer.
Would you care to write and share about what are the steps to publish a book?
And as a reader if you have been following my posts here, what genre do you think my works could do well?
It would be really nice to learn from you all.
Do share your experiences, and leave tips for the road ahead in publishing a book if any.
It would be certainly be a step ahead.

The vibrant energy of joyfulness creates a feeling of enthusiasm and wellbeing.
If we can bring it upon ourself to sense joy for what is, we will find it manifests where ever we are, in one way or the other, in more ways than one.
The ability to alter our attitude towards life is directly proportional to the way we experience life.
We are what we think and our behavior is influenced by our perceptions of life and living.
If we wish we can choose to change
The way of thinking and sensing
Life evolves for the better along the way .

Leadership in teams.
If you have been leading teams at work…
How important do you think is a culture of trust to an enterprise and its growth?
How would it be possible to create, nurture & sustain trust in teams?
On a scale of 1 to 10 where do you think the team you lead, is in terms of trustfulness?
Companies spend a lot of their resources planning for engagements that are geared towards trust building.
There are get together, team lunches, resort trips arranged, and social events organized to ensure every one has a good time and build a rapport with each other.
What are the genuine ways of trust building in teams?
What makes a team trust a leader?
Trust is a significant and valuable trait to build into any functional team.
And it is the responsibility of the leader to create an atmosphere for trust to follow through in teams.
Besides skills and abilities to lead and show direction to the team when in need, a leader’s trust quotient increases when they are ready to be vulnerable enough to let the team understand that after all, we are together through the thick and thin.
Secondly, it is important for a leader to be able to cultivate clarity in communication. And shares the bigger picture with the team, so they understand the intent for a plan.
More than anything else, it makes way for an authentic and open culture of trustful action and responses.
And speaking of responses, an effective and efficient leader will seek feedbacks to create a proper follow-ups and follow through of any intention.
Whenever a leader internalizes these values as habits of being authentic and vulnerable with their team, trust is born.
In every effort taken towards creating clarity & consistency in the channels of communication with their team, trust is built.
And while finding resolutions through followups with timely responses, trust is sustained in the teams.
Great organization begins with teams that place value on trustfulness as an important part of the growth mindset.

Love is the way
For all of us
As each of us matters
Somehow somewhere
We are all connected
In the infinite plan
And each of us
Needs to become responsible
To make a meaningful difference
For life to thrive than just survive
We need to be respectful
Towards each other
To gain the trust & faith
That makes the world
A better place to live in
For all of us
Love is the way

Amidst the flurry of thoughts
There is a space in the sensing
That heals the hurt and embalms
The spirit of the soul
To recover and rejuvenate
In this invisible space is the secret
Of knowing there is always an answer
To every doubt and confusion
In this space is a silent knowing
Of serenity of wisdom
In hope beyond the reigning chaos
All things happen in good time
Is knowing the power of patience
And the strength of good faith.
There is every reason to believe
In this space, our soul thrives.

“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it isn’t open.” – Frank Zappa
You decide how much your mind is ready to receive.
Your mind is as open as you want it to be…

A space in equilibrium & equanimity
That makes you free to be!

Enthusiasm is the energy in the living
A beautiful state of flow in the being
Enthusiasm is often the reason for excellence
The challenge is in sustaining itself
From losing steam midway…
Perhaps due to lack of appreciation
Or motivation to be enthused
Making way for mediocrity
At work or at play.
Question is then how to be enthused
Into doing the same tasks differently
And break free from rut of routine
Very simple…
Stay hopeful, see life as a potential
Create the possibilities
It’s all in the way of envisioning
How you want to build your truths.
It’s all up to you!
Savvy
Truly nothing is insurmountable
There is in you, the power
That manifests when you need it most
You may not know the strength
And capabilities that you are carrying.
But it is always there with you
Simply Trust in yourself
To be there for you!
You are more than enough for you!

Positively speaking.
Whether it is today, in these times of uncertainty or other… a positive approach to life and living is deeply rewarding.
This is indeed wonderful as an attitude to cultivate towards living life. Being positively enriching & encouraging is truly the best way to help make a difference.
But the trick is in fine balancing the emotions that manifest along the way.
Embodied Practice of Empathy
When you practice sharing positive vibes consistently, you are putting a lot of hope and faith out in the world.
Yet you need to be empathic to yourself, care to understand your own emotions as well, by accepting and acknowledging them, without getting embroiled in them .
Make sure to acknowledge what is happening with your own life.
Speak from the heart.
All that is happening in the world today can be disheartening . So when you are out, sharing positive vibes make sure that you are internalizing them too. Sustaining a spirit of hopefulness is the key driver for a positive mindset . The world needs doses of positive attitude in thoughts words and deeds.
Authenticity of Attitude.
Making sure to feel from your own heart before you share these words of hope is a worthy practice to adopt.
Whatever said or written,words are mere words But when you begin to respect and respond to the emotions sensed in the feelings that arise you begin to see the world in its most vulnerable state.
When heart speaks the world hums along…
Savvy
Every move we make
In acknowledgement
Of the infinite truths of life.
Of the abundance of nature.
Every step we take in harmony
In conscious awareness
Of the interconnections
Of the nature of our being.
If we only care to remember
How intrinsically intertwined
Is every life to another.
Such is the miracle of every life
Every sign , sound, symbol & shape
Every part of nature has a reason to be.
Interrelated in the river of time.
Envision potential in expansiveness
Of possibilities in inclusiveness.
Recognize the awe & wonder of life.
The miracle of every manifestation.

Align yourself
Every once in a while
In conscious awareness
With your breath
Inhale aspirations
Exhale inspirations
Share with all of you.
Give without resentment.
Let go the spurious
Let life unfold
Tread gently
In loving kindness
Align In Authenticity
When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself with yourself & in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will begin make a positive impact on this world.
All it takes is…
Being true to who you are:))

This picture was shared on social media…
Can you see a face in the lake ?🙂
Here are some more faces
How many faces can you see now?
Feel free to trace some more…
Pareidolia (/ˌpæriˈdoʊliə/,[1] US also /ˌpæraɪˈ-/[2]) is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous visual stimulus (so that one sees an object, pattern or meaning where in fact there is none).
Ref Wiki
Seeing familiar objects or patterns in otherwise random or unrelated objects or patterns is called pareidolia. It’s a form of apophenia, which is a more general term for the human tendency to seek patterns in random information.
Face pareidolia seems to be a universal phenomenon.
Finding faces in the most unexpected places, may have an evolutionary angle of a need to seek familiarity in the wake of the unknown, for a psychological safety.
Or finding faces in the bonnet of a car that makes it look more fun, friendly & smiling.
Maybe piecing the possibilities together to make sense is an illustration in the illusion…
Whatever the case creativity of the human mind is infinite in its potential to conjure up endless possibilities out of practically nothing concrete.
In the ability to create abstract associations to integrate and create and merge a more meaningful interpretation for ourselves,makes it an art of limitless possibilities.
