It’s early evening
The sunlight is still filtering in
I sit back, after a walk.
It feels like a balmy dusk
Watching dappled rain drops
Falling on verdant leaves 🍃
Petrichor fills the air
Rising from the earth
Sensing the glimmers of this now.
Serenading my senses, in serendipity…

Truth of Meditation
On a moonlit night
Embalmed in its luminescence.
Bathed in its argent glow
Graced by the peace in the beam
Radiance lingers in its pearlescent reflection
Drawing us to look upwards
As we are enveloped by its lovely light.

What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?
It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.
Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self
And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.
On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️
#Life Life Lovingly ❤️
This post actually was inspired by a comment from my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.
Her comment made me stop and think of how much even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.
Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

If you could turn the key to a door that opens up to a place somewhere right now…
Where does your imagination take you?
Near mountains
Near water sources
Green spaces
Or spiritual spaces
Or somewhere where your heart is calling out?
What is your favourite kind of place?
Or is your desire to stay
Wherever you are,
Stronger than anything else?
Sometimes in the middle of movements there is a desire for stillness
In the middle of hectic days…
For the quietness of calm.
And sometimes amidst silence
There is much going on…
The mind is steering the wheel
Both movement and stillness
Are part of the journey.
And the desire to drive on
Explore discover the world
And what it has to offer
Is something that happens
To evolve every life.

Birthing a new world
Giving shape to imagination
Seeding trees of possibilities
Bearing fruits in the passion
Creating energy in the synergy
Making the words come alive
Writing is literally magic…

Take time to see beyond
To care and be considerate,
To be kind and compassionate,
To wonder and stay curious.
Take time to learn and explore,
To read and discover another,
To revere the precious now,
To stay grateful for every moment.
For life moves forward
As clocks tick relentlessly,
With no respite…
So choose to reclaim time.
Take time for, and with, the self.
To live lovingly than just exist.

Creative connects
As a dance instructor I remember a time more than a decade ago, I built a community of dance lovers who loved the connecting over a few moves every weekend. The tribe gew organically… as for all these lovers of dance, including me, the art of movements and sharing the creative passion… became a way of life.
I often sensed how much the times spent dancing together was a transformative experience. I also witnessed how many of them found friendships and supported each other through thick and thin.
Though I moved on to another city and began exploring and discovering many more interests in time, the times we all manage to connect again, even now always brings a joyful smile from the heart ❤️

Covered in the grime of life
Masked in the mire of living
Seasoned in the sands of time.
Life may seem meaningless,
Submerged in the shadows.
Yet trust time in its flow
As it unearths the Self.
In its own unique way
P.S
This poem flowed in a moment of silent contemplation…
I pose a question to you
Looking back at the layers
Life brought forth in time
Are there more, that are shielding you?
Or are there more that you want to wash away?
And more importantly…
Are you ready to unearth the Self?
I hope in reading these verses, it brings in a sense of pause and trust, wherever you are in your own unique journey of unearthing the self .

Twilight expresses the moment of change
In the most gentle of ways.
Change that allows
Change that accepts
Change that acknowledges…
that transition takes time.
It also holds moments of awe and wonder.
Yet change is rarely felt this way…
For change can be the difference
Between the dark and light
Of the night and day.
Humans are hardwired
To fear change in doubt and uncertainty
But change is the only constant.
However… humans are also wired in hope
To trust transitions of change is hopefulness
And hope is here to stay.
Savvy
An open pathway beckons you
Across the threshold
See the horizon of hope
In the warmth of day light
Take a step forward in trust
It holds much promise
Glide onto the green fields
Let your spirit soar
And sense the spirit of freedom
To be all that you can be..

On Awareness
Between what was understood and what we understand, and what we are yet to understand, is the bridge of awareness in time.
Our shifting perspectives are simply signs of changes as we continue to flow in the river of time.

This morning I started my day with a beautiful book gifted by my daughter to me called… ‘Light from many Lamps.
I was inspired just sensing the light of life in each chapter…
So yes, ‘Books are life’ and I have, had and hope I continue to have all the energy to read some more…
What is your recent read?

This life I am in,
Is beyond emotions & intellect.
Way beyond feelings & senses.
Beyond the pain & peace of the moment.
Beyond the pressures of life & living.
Hence I am not my peace.
And I am not my pain.
I am not the height of happiness.
I am not the depth of sorrows.
In the infinite resonance
In the dance of conscious awareness
A living spark of the cosmos.
Savvy
In this now I inhale peace
In this now I exhale love
In this now I sense calm
In this now I share a smile.
In this now what I can do
Matters than, then & later
For it sets the course ahead
Aligning past with present.
In this now lives potential
In this now, is the power of choice
In every now that is…
Choose well.
