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
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.

Unearthing The Self
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 .

Who lifts you up?
Over the years
Living life teaches much.
Every person in your life
has an unique role to play.
Sometimes they are necessary for you
at times, you are necessary for them.
Life happens along the way,
leaving lessons fine.
Your emotional equation matters more than you think.
Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.
Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.
Choose your circle, its your right.
Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…
You have one life.
Choose well…

In the middle
Right here
In the middle
Lives transformation.
Change starts
In the middle of it all
In the feeling
In the awareness
That something
Is happening.
So, true transformation too is not a one off act in the edge of things or only where you are pushed to the extremes. True change for the better lives in the middle of consistent moments of effort coupled with awareness.
It could start right now in the middle of it all.
Are you here in this now?

The Plus Side.
Was reading an article today on how education today has become more and more transactional…and how it robs the learner of the critical thinking.
I share my musings…
When education is not a buisness
When learning is not about grades
When teaching is a passion than profession.
Where doubts, perspectives are welcomed
And not sidelined or ridiculed
When questions are not means to an end
Curiosity and wonder will find its purpose…
That I am fond of writing is nothing new after all these years of blogging and writing but as a child, I remember clearly when I was asked by a school teacher to read a famous poem and share its meaning in class I dared to share a new interpretation to it…that resonated with me.
The teacher then, was not open to a change of perspective… nor ready for a deep dive on why I saw it differently. She simply wanted to finish her work without deviation. I remember sitting down that day, without feedback.
But it didn’t stop me from wonder and writing…in fact I continued to write free verses in time till date.
I write this all, for I have shifted many schools in my childhood… as my father served in the Armed forces. I have seen upclose the good, bad and ugly side of schooling.
And the plus side is, it certainly has shaped me to be, adaptable and resilient as a person in time.
There is always the plus side…

On Wings Of Grace
As you choose to fly free
As you brave new winds
As you discover new horizons
Always remember who has your back.
The bonds of love are there for a reason…
To be nurtured and cherished by its sheer presence
For to be lovingly supported is a blessing of grace.

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 ?

Creating Resilience
Resilience is developed in time.
In every fall.
In every blow
In every painful experience.
The power rests with you to work on yourself.
Resilience is about nurturing what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling the situation at hand.
Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary moments that you have with you.
Resilience is being able to smile from the heart, knowing your circumstances dont define you.
In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge from it stronger.
While resilience is in learning from experiences and strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…
Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking like the mighty oak tree,
Resilience is creating yourself in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.
Resilience means, you are very much present and it means you are evolving from your experiences for the better.
In times of being resilience
You become the master of your life.
You steer on in faith
no matter the rudder is way off.
Knowing you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.
Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives
You are like an artist creating something from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience results are awaiting you in trust & time.
Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.
What is resilience to you?
When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?
Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.

Are you healthy and heard?
Life is a series of interconnections.The conversations and dialogues make life meaningful.
Life is meant to be expressed and experienced.You are healthier as you speak create love and listen.And you are even healthier if you feel heard. Being heard and understood feels like a boost for the body mind & spirit.
The cost of loneliness is a heavy price to pay.And so is the cost being ignored, undervalued, humiliated.And equally heavy is the price of indifference.
When voices are minimized and presence dismissed, the direct effects are loneliness and isolation.The body remembers and reacts to the rejection showing up in symptoms and diseases, for the emotional walls manifests itself in inexplicable ways…
Restoring the sense of self is about creating sharing opportunities fornot just personal expression but about being heard & feeling understood.
It’s not about the space we occupy, but the life we live.
The conversations & dialogues we have,
The learnings & understanding we share
Makes life meaningful in the interactions.
Life cannot be contained in a vacuum.
We are healthier in expression
Life is not just to exist but to to lived.
Such is the truth of life.
To express & create
To speak & listen
Is to bridge the gaps
Healing one another
In inclusion that we matter.
Creating belonging & restoration of wellbeing
Shielding hearts in health
And a sense of community.
Such is the power of health in feeling heard .

Un expect
In letting go of expectations
You step closer to yourself
Your truths are awaiting you
Everything around you
Is also in you
Everything in you
Is also around you.
Synchronize with your breath
Open yourself to sense
The immense possibilities
Allow insights to appear
On your wants & desires.
Enjoy every now of life
In this gift that is yours
Lies the path of salvation
Discover yourself
As the paths unfold.
Simply choose to unexpect
Stay patient and observe
Your strengths along the way
Learn from your experiences
Steer yourself to implement,
And apply it to a better life.

Reflections on Strength
Every morning in my moments of gratitude, I reflect on the things that I could have some times taken for granted. It has become a consistent habit for many years now…
In these contemplations there is often much that emerges, sometimes what’s apparent is not what is, and sometimes what is, is not all…
Today it was all about strength, not the kind that makes you go on, to push further but actually the kind that is gentle and quiet, I am talking of that which is often invisible.
What came up was …
That strength doesn’t have to proclaim
That strength is often that which is hidden in you
That surfaces in the storms
That strength too needs rest to recover and its ok
That strength is seen in the so called small ordinary moments of life in subtle ways
That strength needs no nudging but nurturing in gratitude, for it appears whenever in need as a force of nature.
That every one of your strengths and my strengths are valuable in our lives to make it whole and complete.
Gratitude to all spheres of strength in need for its a strength in deed.

Every cup has a purpose.
In between moments of a frantic day
Or the restlessness of boredom
Its nice to settle in with a cup of your favourite beverage.
If not for anything else
Just to pause and gather yourself
It creates a space to ponder
And reflect in wonder
And in those moments
Its never dull and senseless
At times it even sparks an idea
Almost out of nowhere
In the association of thoughts
In the camaraderie shared
Every sip seems to soothe
And yet inspire some more
Now think of life too this way
Life is never meant to be rushed
Life is not life if it feels unloved
Take time to live it.
The way is yours to sense & create
The ingredients of a good life
Is the concoction of your choices.
What you make with it
Is what you are left with
Keep it inspirational.
Savvy
Moving through the mire
Sink not into the mire
In doubts of despair
Choose to move yourself out
In thoughts words & deeds
Engage with your passions
Dedicate your time with purpose
Light in yourself a spark of fire
Choose to move through
And well beyond the mire.
