Truth of Oneness

Which ever way you explore   truth, truth is truth.

Many paths lead home.

Shine on

This one is a micropoem that sparked from the words… Where light shines’.

When you turn your face

Towards the sun…

Where does the shadow fall?

Where does light shine?

Shine on …

Space…

Space.

Space allows.

Space that expands

Space that acknowledges you.

Space that lets you be.

Space that opens up for you

Space that speaks to you in you.

Space that listens as it speaks

Space that evolves you

Space for growth and learning

Space that liberates

Space frees

Space.

I wrote this piece in a flow…

In a space of calm.

I enjoyed  writing it  as I began  playing with space in and around the poem  unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.

I hope you enjoy reading it.

Strength of tenderness

Being tender in the toughest of times

Being gentle and generous with the self

In times of chaos and conflicts

In and around us

Is the way of weathering-the-storms.

Being caring and compassionate

In thoughts words and deeds.

With empathy that empowers

In light and goodwill.

Is the way of gentle heart

Flowing in loving kindness.

When compassion radiates…

Conscious compassionate thoughts within become embedded in the core structure of the being, and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength.”

Spirit of Humans

Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world

Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles

For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…

For others it may be personal

And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.


Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.

Beauty of impermenance

Today,  I came across a beautiful  Japanese word called ‘Komorebi’ that depicts…the beauty  of light filtering in through the leaves. And I see this picture, that I had saved, somehow seems to fit right in…

Beauty of impermenance

Every ray of light
In these leaves …
Can never be replicated
To exact moments.

Yet there is stillness
In its fleeting moment
In simple appreciation,

And heartfelt acknowledging

Of the beauty of impermenance.

The light of the source

Growing on an uncharted path, All by yourself Blossoming from inner faith A strength of belief Rises you up from within That you project to the world Sharing hope and happiness So, like the delicate flowers So full of perseverance Arising  from bud to bloom Dancing with the wind Come rain or sun… You share as […]

Space for growth

Let there spaces in between

Room for improvement

For growth needs it

Personal or professional

Breathe in the pause

To ponder a while

To sense the potential

To emerge from ideas 

Creating possibilities.

I value the necessity of space

Between thoughts, between words,

Else

It starts feeling a little to crowded.

Creating the fog of density

Creating space creates clarity.

How much do you value your need for space?

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.

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…

Bridge on the river of time 

On Awareness

Between what was understood and what we understand, and what we are yet to understand, is the bridge of awareness in time.


Our shifting perspectives are  simply signs of  changes as we continue to flow in the river of time.

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…

What do you think ?

Find your space

If you ever find yourself belittled, unable to express  yourself because you are stifled;

Remember…not to shrink.

Trust in your self.

Know there is always a space for you that allows you to grow and evolve

You and your presence matters.

Find your space.
