Heartfelt Vibe
What is it
To meet a friend
Someone new
For the first time
What happens
When you sense
It’s meant to be
You were meant
To meet this person
One day or the other
When hearts connect
Souls align in the sharing
The conversation effortless
The rhythm uninterrupted
Flowing steady and smooth
No abrupt silences
No awkward feeling
It’s as if time is immaterial
As it takes a backseat
Letting you savour the moments
Some souls were always connected
They simply need to meet
And sense the heart felt vibe.

In retrospect…
Chase not, the shiniest
For it often lose their sheen
Choose consistency over hype
It makes a mark in time.
What shines today
May become dull tommorow
What perseveres every day
May turn reliable in the long run .
Chase not, the loudest proclaims
It often ends up as a whimper
Choose the steadiness of approach
That often becomes substantial.
Chase not, the charmer
They often turn out fake.
To smile without heartbreak
Choose the one with humor…
And keep humor alive in your heart…

Meet me right here
Meet?
Meet where?
You tell me
Is there a place
That is better than here?
A place that’s inviting called WordPress.
An inclusive space for creative minded souls
So meet we will, right here
In this wordy writing space
Time and time again
You and me
Sharing words
Heartfully…
💙

Heart speaks…
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 ❤️

Retrouvaille
Meeting an old friend
A kindered spirit
Or a loved one …
The joy of uniting
After being afar
Speaks of interconnections…
Where time and space
Evaporates without a trace
In the moments together.
Its often said
Absence makes the heart
Grow fonder…
So is it the distance
That makes reunion sweeter?
Gibran wisely said…
Let there be spaces
In your togetherness
So whatever the relationship
With another or with the self , the very act of reconnecting with an old hobby, that you were once passionate about, makes it truly memorable.
For what is truly meaningful, is never lost … it’s simply awaiting a return.
Savvy
PS: The word Retourvaille (often spelled Retrouvailles in French) is a beautiful, untranslatable French word that perfectly captures a specific, deeply felt human experience.
Literally translated, it means “rediscovery” or “the finding of something again.”
Umbrella of Grace
Magnanimous grace
Of the divine infinite,
Blessings flow in its presence.
In this ocean of abundance,
Stay still in the tremors.
Keep the faith
In every moment..
Let go of fear & worry.
Know you have the universe
Within, with & around you.

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.

That little extra
A little more in compassion
A little more gentleness
A little more in consideration
A little more consciousness
A little more awareness
A little more connection
A little more conversation
A little more communication
A little more alignment
A little more in care
All it takes is a little more
To make a meaningful difference.
That little extra effort
In time & space
Turns ordinary to extraordinary.

A reminder
Great to have garden
Tending to each plant
Makes us happy
And yet the world seems lonely
For we have forgotten
The power of community.
Of strength in the interconnects
Of unity in togetherness
The bends without breaking
For in tending to our own garden
We forget the paths in between
The You and I
We forget the give and take
We forget care for one another
We forget sharing the joys & woes
Of life and living
Instead we sit alone
In our self built fences & walls.
We think we are happy alone
Little realizing the effects
Of being lonely…

Embrace Silence
I am not a trained speaker, nor an expert story teller. In fact I am quite the antithesis for while I deeply enjoy conversing with people than speeches… I have always liked my deeds than talks to show up for me .
And I have sensed the butterflies in my stomach and heard my own beating heart while speaking to a room full of people, many many times in my life.
Like they say, life makes you stand on the razors edge, as much as on varied stages to experience what it is to be vulnerable, only to transform you.
But then I know I have it in me to ace it. After all, the power of my self belief and purpose has always stood out stronger than my vulnerabilities.
Time and time again I have realized how much it is all in our mind. The journey of life through the illusions, our delusions & revelations to the clarity in awareness.
In time I have often sensed that what makes you uncomfortable has your deliverance. In those moments of vulnerability, there is latent strength to overcome the odds.
What seems like an uncomfortable pause…
Can be the reason why what you say is heard and understood.
For if you truly care to sense
For there is much power in the pause,
In the space between two words two thoughts , two moments and two people.
It is waiting for awareness
Embrace the silence
Sense the power in the spaces.
Ease in to the pause
Listen more
Trust yourself
You will find yourself.
Savvy
Strengthen your humanity
Keep your heart grateful
Keep your mind thankful
Keep your spirit humble
It will strengthen the foundation
Of many virtues of being human
Like love, trust and faith
Courage and contentment
Health, happiness and joy
Creating a blessed life

Share
The way you move,
The way you write
The way you dance
The way you talk
The way you live
Share much about you
Express without fear
It’s good for you.
Remember…
Sharing at times can make you vulnerable
But it can open you up to the strength within.
