Collecting Glimmers

Can you take a moment

To be consciously aware

And identify the many moments

Of glimmers in your life.

Glimmers are micro moments

Bringing joy in the ordinary.

Like a little bloom that made you smile

Or a rainbow that you happen to witness

Or a caring kind gesture by some one unexpectedly

Making a world of difference to you.

Look back at your day…

What were the moments of glimmer so far?

Look out for your glimmers today

Glimmers make for some great memories ✨😊

Collect the glimmers of the day!

Good Reminder

Sharing a social media forward

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you, And making you
Spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? You spilled the coffee because there
was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. The point is
whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out. Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It’s easy to fake it, until you get rattled. So, we have to ask ourselves, “What’s
my cup?”

When life gets tough, what spills out? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility? Or does
anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions come out?


You choose! Today let’s work
towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, kindness
gentleness and love for others.

Good Reminder for one and all.
In making conscious choices.
Filling my cup with gratitude
Sensing joy and love
Choosing forgiveness
Expressions in gentleness
And affirming in kindness
For my choices matter...
To me & the world around me.

Your thoughts?

Just when we are teaching the world Empathy for human life.
One human to another human.
We are moving rapidly to a world
Of AI.
Letting it almost lead our lives…
We are drawn hook line and sinker
We are getting enslaved by its use….
We are teaching Al many things. From Art to Design  our human needs are soon getting fulfilled by Al. It is alarming to note at times.
We are teaching it every moment
Training it to clone our voices and create our own Avatars.
And we are in awe and  appreciation of the dehumunization across most aspects of life.

May be we need to also teach it humanity. And not to mention Empathy Kindness Respect Compassion and most of all the values of Love!

Else very soon earth might not be inhabitable thanks to a new generation that grows with intelligence without heart.

Your thoughts?

Putting things in Perspective

Any time I catch myself complain about life…there is a beautiful line by Abraham Lincoln to put things back in perspective ..

“We can complain that the rose bushes have thorns. Or we can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses.”

Life is in the way you see it!

Unbound…

Borders marked on maps


In time get etched onto our minds


But our heart knows not borders


Hope the heart leads


For then, the way appears


To bond without being bound

To fly free like a bird.

Unbound…

A free flow…

An experimental poem

Yesterday evening, I asked my mother sitting besides me and sipping her tea, to share a few random words that came to her mind.

These are what she shared in the same order as she shared.

Time, Eternal, Free, Freedom, Connection, Heart, Destiny, Love, Emerging, Twinkle, Abundance, Garnering, Gather, Depth, Stardust, Voyage Spirit

Here is what I imagined in the dance of these words…

When Love is Destiny

Emerging in eternal time
Destiny twinkles on stardust
Garnering connections of  hearts
Voyaging free in the spirit of freedom.
Gathering abundance in the
depth of love.

Trust your Soul

Learnings in living life

Trust your Soul

When the going gets tough
And life brings you on your knees
When best laid  plans are thwarted
When crisis take you rock bottom
When every door shuts
And you turn towards hope
You begin to understand life
Challenges are your portals
Creating  pathways of change
Your choices create your gateways
For your own transformations

Soul knows more than you think….
Perhaps your perceptions
need  a new perspective.
Trust your Soul
It is aligning you to your purpose

Watch the window …
And may be you need to pass through…
Llfes uncertainties staring at your face
For they toughen you up.


So see beyond what seems like a setback.
Perhaps the window of opportunity is opening through them.

Trust your Soul, it knows the Way…

Sensing Divinity

My friend Destiny highlighted a comment of mine on her comment on my yesterdays post Sensing

It felt as if we exchanged a moment of poignant connection that jumped time. For in that one moment words touched heartsfields. where feelings are relatable. In empathy or synchrony…

It is certainly not something new, for it is something we all undergo as writers and readers. A connection, through mere words but that which feels you know… the spirit, and soul of the hand that pens the verses or the heart that emotes in the reading.

And these are moments that make

Words come alive & speak

From a place of knowing

Far beyond mere words

Beyond the writer or reader.

As if it’s meant to be

As if it’s meant to connect.

These are moments…

Sparking the dance of divinity

Of the inexplicable serendipity

In Sensing Oneness in humanity.

Sensing…

Where there are no rules that bound
Where the music leads and you follow
Where there is no end and no beginning
All is in the flow as you sense you are the flow.

Make friends with time

Value your life value your time


Remember your uniqueness
Takes its own time to show up.

All happens at the right time
For time knows you..

Make time your friend
Meet it with all of you

Make your life worthwhile
Make friends with time

Dancing with Prompts


As a dancer, I often use my dance education and experiences by associating concepts and find it helps me understand and evolve in the many life challenges and relate to the changing world.

In a world where almost everyone is interfacing with ChatGPT and AI and finding new and improved ways of  prompting  for  application of technology for every day use, I find some relevant associations here with partner dancing and technology.

Dancing  & Prompting has a lot in common
A dance with a partner is an action and response
More than a reaction. Likewise in today’s world  every day is a dance  with AI and our prompts are nothing but inputs towards an intelligent response than just a reaction.
The better the input the better the output.
Here I want to share a few thoughts for starters
Dancing with a partner is about being in tandem, one leading the way and one following without anticipation
Likewise prompting is about giving clear directions without ambiguity.
To dance is to set and hold the frame
In a good prompt setting the context and format helps to streamline the output.

In a dance the music sets the movements of the dance…
And in a prompt sharing the example of what it feels like helps clearer and relevant  output.

In a dance a leader can evaluate as you go which steps will work with which partner. Assessing the dance space available helps in evaluating the flow. For there are no second moves… Whatever you do decides the dance flow…  And you are free to improvise your self as you go along

Likewise in prompts evaluation helps check what is working and tweaking it gives better quality output.

When a dancer is a professional Dancing a single step  may feel fluid but in breaking down the steps it’s easier to understand the flow.
In prompting dividing the steps well into multiple steps  connected  to a certain goal will give desired results.

Be it a dance with partner or with words for AI when you have a clear intention and purpose and are able to communicate what you want and where you want to reach,  in easily understable  and suitable way not only will  you reach your destination  You will enjoy the journey!

It is said we are the product of five people we surround ourselves with.

So choose to surround yourself with those who lift your spirits.

Choose to be intentional on being with people who you appreciate and who you enjoy being with.

People who you feel bring out the best in you

And choose to truly care and cherish these people.

On Letting Go

Letting go is never easy

For we are often not ready

Letting go is a courage as much as a necessity

Letting go that which you can’t change

Letting go of yourself beyond the fear

Letting go of insecurity that is holding you back

Letting go of things that no longer serve you

Letting go to create space for something new

Letting go of unnecessary doubts that delay the possibilities

Letting go creates a difference with a lightness of being…

Learn to let your self go

And watch life transform in and around you…

All it takes is letting go

Think of letting go of the spurious

Like a breath taken

How long will you hold it?

Inhale and exhale are part of life

As you inhale, live life

In knowing the exhale

Is but a circle of life.
