On Blooming 

Our thoughts need space to grow

Sitting in silence

Sensing stillness

Witnessing the dance within.

As the thoughts settle

From chaos to calm

Give time to your thoughts

Countless thoughts birth itself

Some that makes you smile

Some that carry other emotions

Your thoughts have a reason to be

Let them come and go 

Like nature evolves in time

Thoughts have a life time too.

Think well… Life blooms.

On blooming  

Cultivate in your children a thinking mind

Guide them to steer it to a thoughtful mind

Cultivate  in your children a grateful heart

Guide them to deeds of goodwill.

Their development begins with you 

But remember the bud that blossoms to a flower

Support their journey that unfolds itself …

As every flower unfurls in its own time

Trust life to bloom.

Birthing in the now

Your birth is not the only time you are born

You are born in every moment of awareness

You are born in every  conscious breath.

You are born in the pain and the pleasures of living life.

You are born in every deed of compassion & kindness.

You are born in the joy of both inclusion and expansion.

You are born in the moments of heartfelt connections.

The truth is you can birth yourself in every now.

Align your breath with presence.

Who are you?

Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.


Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.

Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond  speech, I am the breath that experiences life.


Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be.  🙏

Join in with me for a  moment of  alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole.  🙏

Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’

Light is meant to shine

The sky lights up

This morning

In ethereal light…

And in moments

It feels like twilight,

Where light seems engulfed

But it is already dawn.

Perhaps the sun is hidden

For a fleeting while,

Waiting for clouds to pass

Only to shine again.

In this moment

Of in-betweens,

Before light shines

Its brilliance again,

Let me take a moment

To feel the senses

Telling me to ease in to this now.

Breathe the cool wind

And pause to witness

The unfolding play

Of light of day.

The sun is patient

And humble,

Awaiting its turn…

Let me stay patient

And hopeful

In this play of light.

Light is meant to shine.

Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…

Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.

In this now…

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.

What are you feeding your mind?

Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”


Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.


Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.


Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.


For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.


Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

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 ?

A Space Beyond

All is not, what is

What is, is not all..

The Art Of Noticing

In every now

There is so much to note

Notice the bigger picture

The grand plan of nature.

Notice the sky

Holding the sun & the clouds,

The moon & the stars.

Notice the transitions

The fleeting nature

The pain & pleasures of life

Appear and disappear.

Notice the expansive infinite

Widening in your thoughts

Notice your breath dance,

Finding its rhythms.

Notice how the movements

And the stillness therein,

Are all part of the dance.

All in time

Every thought has its own flow
Every word finds its own space
Every space has its own synchrony
Every sound its own frequency
Every element, its own energy
Lets enjoy the space between the steps.
And acknowledge the  harmony in the synergy…

All in time.

Meet me in the middle

This poem will resonate with those in strong relationships  that stands the test of time and yet may find themselves challenged and at crossroads with differences in thoughts and opinions. Pretty much most who have experienced life together will find themselves in such predicaments time and time again.

In relationships when you are unable to see eye to eye, where past misses surfaces or future  expectations sideline the precious present, perhaps this poem can be a reminder of how far you have traveled  together to reach here.

All is not lost just yet… if you could only meet in the middle. For the strongest relationships survive in empathic understanding of each other through the thick & thin.

Meet me in the middle,
With an open mind,
Set aside differences,
We’re the same kind…

Today we may be at crossroads
looking with a different lens
But our hearts beat as one
Like it used to, years ago.
The feelings just the same…

So dearest one, sense it all
Memories are meant
To be revisited in time.
Think of how far we have come
And meet me not in the past
Nor in the the future
But right here in the middle
Of this present now.

Interwoven

The Sun emits rays,
And it feels they are sent to Earth,
But they remain part of the source.


A drop of the ocean
Becomes rain,
And merges back
Into the ocean.


All shapes and forms
Multiply and diminish,
As part of the same source.


Every energy is as it is…
Emerging and merging,
In time and patience.


You and I are not different…
We are part
Of the same source.


All that is,
Is one with the source.


In knowing that you and I
Are part of this source,
We enact the purpose
Of our being in faith & trust…


Emerging and merging,
Living life lovingly.

Savvy

“If we are all beautifully interwoven with the same cosmic source, how can we step out into the world today and consciously choose to live life lovingly?

Inside outside

Inside outside

Quick fixes  are only a band aid.Temporary ways are not the answer. It is about creating a simple routine that is consistent.

Zoom beyond small niggles. See the bigger picture to understand the truths of  reality.Distil it all for a take away.

You are not the problem.

Care for yourself. You can build yourself. Be kind to yourself. Overdoing anything  overwhelms. Choose consistency over intensity.

Change your life for the better by doing something good for yourself .Through small changes that change your relationship with who you are.

Savvy

In reflection…

Real growth isn’t a battle to be won through self-punishment. It is a relationship to be nurtured through self-kindness. In shifting how you relate to yourself through small, daily, consistent choices,perspectives change.

Life transforms from inside out.

Dear Reader,

When things feel out of balance, what is that one quick fix you find yourself reaching for?

And would you choose consistency  over intensity?

And if so in what ways… do share.

Ripples of Reflection

Like drops of water

Creating circles upon ripples

In the vastness of the  ocean of life,

One thought leads to another,

One word finds another,

One deed creates a momentum.

What is common is the energy,

In the ripple of reflections

Sparking creative flows

That finds its own purpose.

For nothing is accidental

Every thing connects

In its own time.

Savvy

From the standpoint  of physics, a ripple doesn’t actually  move the water forward, it moves the energy  through the water…

Likewise our creative and spiritual practices are simply  conductors for channeling deeper universal energy.

This perspective shift acknowledges that timing and alignment  are natural laws  and not coincidences thereby  discards the unnecessary anxieties in trying to force outcomes…

After all we are both the drop of water and the ocean itself.

So if every thought word and deed creates ripples in the vast ocean of your life, what is the nature of the wave you are setting in motion right now?

Welcoming the contrasts

​Balance

​Such a fine word

​Yet much is the wisdom

In the art of balance.

​We are healthier

In the balance

Of body mind & spirit.

​Tilting to extremes

Brings along dullness

Or extreme pressure.

​In simple realization

Of the wisdom of equanimity

We allow life to unfold

For change is the only constant.

​Our senses are enhanced

As we continue to balance the unexpected

And welcome the contrasts.

Savvy

Its amazing isn’t it, how one thought leads to another. This poem has sensory roots emerging from sweet and spice. Do listen and share your thoughts.
