Tilting to the extremes
Causes imbalance
In overthinking
Overdoing
Or even overindulging
Creates excess and rots life.
Wisdom of moderation
Is found in balance
Align thoughts align life

Wisdom Of Trees
Trees store secrets
Echoing in the echelons
In their barks and trunks
In the leaves and stems
In them is a wealth of wisdom
Of times gone by
To discover for the future…
Nurture nature
Save trees.

Here is an interesting link.
So you are angry?
So you are angry?
Now what?
Do you think it is helping you ?
For anger never helps
It only hurts .
Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.
1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding in your anger is the first step
2.Counting backwards from 20 to 1.
3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.
4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.
For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different feelings.
Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can evoke a sense of ease.
5. Better still is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling.
6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.
Remember to acknowledge your emotions as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing into your life
Live life lovingly💙

Perfectly Imperfect
We are what we are
As humans we are vulnerable beings, strengthened by our very vulnerability.
As for our notions of the nuances
As for our presumptions and prejudices
Along with our unique sense of self contrived our otherwise
We are only human we are capable of being humane.
We are alive & breathing in this now
And no matter the despair and frustration
No matter the weight of the world
No matter the fragmented existence
No matter our human fragility…
We carry on as we are
exploring & discovering
thriving and creating
history…
We are complete beings in our acknowledging incompleteness.
We are perfect beings with all our so called imperfections.
And we strive to do our best with what we have
If everything is complete and perfect then there would be no wonder to evolve us along…
As that’s what makes us who we are.

Being human
On intentions
Are you feeling a sense of purpose
Are you keen on a purposeful life
Then question yourself
Are you effective?
If you value your life
And know you are not just born
There is always a path you can create
Towards actualizing your intention.
If you are effective in the way you choose to accomplish it
You can make the best of what God has gifted you .

On Fame
Fame is the shadow of passion standing in light
Kahlil Gibran
When a good deed
A noble act
Invokes fame
Fame stays on…
Entrenched in light of goodwill.
Embedded in that light
Passion perseveres.
Such a fame is worth experiencing…
And yet there is always a price to fame
While fame brings glory
It also brings expectations along
To live up to … for a lifetime.
There is loss of privacy
As you sway into the limelight
Being in the public eye can be daunting
There can be a loss of personal freedom.
Even though it creates opportunities
For it presents platforms
As it changes equations.
As it builds reputation.
Thoughts go on the desire for fame.
Even tbough there is a price to fame
Or would one choose the world of obscurity?
What are your thoughts on fame?
Do share.

Inside Outside
Today I thank in gratitude
The power of the mind
The heart and the spirit
Our body is blessed
With many gifts of the soul
Which we are yet discovering
The strength of intentions
The power of intuition
Of conscious awareness
In practice of mindfulness
Of possibilities in our potential
In the movements of stillness
In the stillness of moves
In the silence of meditation
All, in this journey within
Betwixt inside outside & beyond…

Hope is here to stay
Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope.
Do share your thoughts on it.
“Her eyes wander to find him
Amongst a sea of faces
Knowing he is there somewhere
Hope is here to stay “
The first love
She was a teenager in love
For the very first time
She felt the joy
To express with all her heart
The joy of being with another
Two hearts so full of love
In a world all their own.
He wrote her poems
And read each one out loud
It was an idyllic love
Too good to be true
And in time life happened
And they parted ways
But the feelings still the same
Etched in memories
And never forgotten
No matter the ravages of time.
Yet life never stops for any one.
Life brings in beautiful moments
That makes life worth living
People come people go
But memories, last at eternity…
The Mother
She is old and wrinkled
Yet oft her memories rush
To that fateful day
When a trip to the beach
With friends and family
Changed her life forever.
For as the sun set on that day
In that crowded beach
She lost her only son
And the meaning to live on.
And to this day, in every crowd
Her eyes look out
Searching for her little son
In a sea of faces
No matter the river of time …
Life has its own challenges
For every life in the living
But hope is unending
For hope is here to stay.

Miracle of Autumn
Miracle of autumn
Colours changing season
Rich burnt orange rust
Fill leaves of green as they fall
As if announcing arrival of fall
Signaling animals and birds
To prepare ahead of the cold
Of winters frost on the anvil
To brace the changing weather.
A season of love & embrace
Of long walks with loved ones.
Of long nights and shorter days
That heads through to winter.
Make the best of the changes.

Strength of the soul
A glimpse of the intangible
Is often visible through signs
Like the strength of the soul
Appears in true forgiveness
In letting go of fear of failure
In ability to start all over again
In letting go of negativity
In ability to center the self
In letting go of revenge mentality
In the ability to share kindness
In sensing the lightness of being
In awareness of the bigger picture.
The strength of the soul shines through.

Haste makes waste
There is always time
Time never is lack
Lack of patience
Is lack of time management
In lack of time
There is hurry
To make things happen fast.
Without deliberation
Confusion and tension sets in
Building up pressure
Creating doubts & distress
In the lack of coordination
A recipe for hasty decisions
Creating more waste
Of time, energy and resources
Along the way.
So think through
Haste not waste not.

What’s your energy like today?
I came across these lines this morning…
We either make ourselves miserable ,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same
— Carlos Castaneda —
Questions for the self
What are your thoughts like?
What is the work you do making you feel?
What is the energy you sense ?
Are you feeling strengthened by it?
Your answers will reveal much to you.

Listening is healing
Often we are so full of ourselves.
So focussed on our thoughts
On our ways and deeds
That we forget to pay attention.
There is a world beyond us.
That’s full of promise
Of possibilities in it’d potential
To help and heal us
Only if we truly take our time
To listen well and be there .
Listen to understand and care
Listen to learn and know
Listen to explore the unsaid
Listen keen and deep.
The answers to many of life’s challenges is in listening
Listen well, it heals one another.
