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..

How far have we come
From the many versions of ourselves
In this river of time
Where like water, that flows onwards
Time can never be visited backwards…
Only in memories
Held within the hearts & minds
Reminding us of the paths traveled in time.
Life continues to evolve in every now.
As life flows on …
Colouring itself
Along the way.
I share this above digital artwork here from back in time…when AI prompting and image creation was very nascent.

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.

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts
The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.
And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.
We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.
Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.
Make the way of peace
A way of life.

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?

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?’

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.

Experience eats degrees for breakfast.
Technology tosses experience and degrees topsy turvy.
Al turns skills redundant and age immaterial.
Wisdom turns knowledge into learning.
For learning never stops.
Humility allows for growth…
Making sense of it all.
An artist leaves much more
than creativity in the artwork.
There is a voice in every frame,
speaking deeply if you care to listen.
That voice carries the artist’s choices
of color and composition,
of style and strokes,
of moods and feelings
breathed into the birth of art.
The artist speaks through the work.
The energy of the artist is embedded
in words, in lines, in shapes and forms.
When a piece feels complete,
the artist releases it to the world.
And yet, the energy lives on,
transforming itself through time
and the spaces it inhabits.
Art is transformed again
in translation and interpretation,
reshaped by those who encounter it.
As creators, whether of images or words,
our work continues to live,
each viewer or reader sensing its energy uniquely.
And so it flows…
transforming itself in time.

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.

Rain
It is the nature of rain
To wash away the dust
Until it’s clean and green.
Yet, too much rain
Floods and destroys.
Such is the truth of nature.
Each element of nature
Is balanced with the other.
The dry lands help sustain the wetlands…
One supports another
To sustain and thrive.
Such is the truth of nature.
Desert
Desert sand blows in the wind…
Winds carry the dust
Across the world,
Over lands and water,
Finding new settlements.
The truth of nature
Is the interconnections.
The kind that keeps us alive,
The kind we may not realize,
The kind we need to emulate
In this now and for our future,
To survive and thrive.
Just think…
If nature survives through quiet reciprocity, perhaps our own survival depends on learning to receive what is given, and giving what is needed.
Todays freeverses are inspirations that arrived from contemplations with Anjana, my dear mother.

Are you the kind who travels back in time,
Rereading pages you’ve already turned?
Sensing memories and vivid imagery
Reflected in the lines.
Do you leave a bookmark behind,
Making your presence felt and remembered?
Or are you the kind who reads on the go,
Welcoming whatever comes your way?
The kind who leaves yesterday in its place,
Eager to explore new horizons…
Aspiring to look ahead, to move forward,
And experience so much more of life.
Sometimes we turn back the pages to honor the words that shaped us.
And sometimes we choose to look forward at the horizon ahead…
Whatever the way, simply know,
We have within us,the words and this now.
Reading is a mirror to living.
Savvy
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.

Between the lashes
There is the flame
Of the spirit burning bright
There is a window of the soul
Seeing in the envisioning
Of the betwixt & beyond
Both inside & outside
And making sense of it all.
The lashes are but a curtain
To open up to the wonders of the world…
For between the blink of the lashes
Lies the magic of sight.
Savvy
A fantastical experience
A whimsical world
Makes for a great safespace
From the rigors of existence
Yet its not an escape
More, a choice of the moment
To be whimsical, unexpectedly so.
Where imagination is your ally
Spirited with a a little levity.
Emboldened by quirkiness
The ordinary seems extraordinary.
A spring in the step
A song on your lips
Lightness of spirit
Shines out your soul.
