The Clarity of Simplicity

Whatever causes turbidity
Causes imbalance of being

In creating space for a pause
In allowing time to heal

Turbidity moves on
To make way for clarity.

In the turbidity of thoughts
There is density of the mind

In the simplicity of thinking
There is clarity in the being.

On Attitude

Life at times can be both wondrous and mundane but contains joy,

And the attitude we choose to wear,

Decides if we wish to find the joy in the things we do.

And we become what we choose to be and see!

Have a wonderful day!

Life is a game

A major chunk of our life is spent at work

Work towards it through education

Working on the job or creating it

Work is best done when work is play

Life challenges every one of us

Yet in adaptability and flexibility

Work becomes less of burden

And more bearable.

Work is important

Worship it respect it.

Yet understand working on your career

Is one part of it

There are other parts of life

To juggle with

They matter just as much

If not more

It is in you to create priorities

The way you choose to live

Is a reflection of yourself

Enjoy what you do

In every now

Be present with all of you

After all life is a game.

Your Calling

Speaking of my passions…

As for me beyond traveling, learning, writing, reading & writing & sharing a few musings every day, it certainly is a mix of different things…

From creating Art to Painting, Training Consultancy, Ballroom Dancing ,Volleyball, Poetry, as much as conversations with people. Infact I am passionate about whatever work I am doing in the moment. I have enjoyed giving it my full attention with all of me.

Everything connects

Every day is full of new learnings in whatever one does. And have often sensed the strength of the interconnects in these passionate pursuits.

Have had many personal experiences where I have sensed how in the heart of the arts is all science and the core of science is all art.

Whenever I have dedicatedly pursued any work or hobby with passionate perseverance I have found that I have all the patience at my disposal to nurture what I do… Life is far more interesting and even bearable as you are driven by your calling or purpose. Am sure you can relate to this somewhere in your life.

Would you care to add a few of your passions?

On Spontaneity

Paradox of Perfection

Words are all I

Have to share

Writing is a flow

Of it’s own doing

If I have to wait

To think it over & over

Perhaps I could lose

The spontaneity of it all!

Sometimes in the jotting

The journey of thoughts

Begins to ebb & flow

And it’s best to allow

The spillage of thoughts

Sometimes structured

At times haphazardly

Words manifests itself

The Writing journey

Is a paradoxical one

Of ups and downs

Of chaos and confusion

Of sorting through thoughts

Meandering through the maze

A lot like living life

For ultimately in time

The puzzle fits

And all gets figured out.

Sensing Life

Sensing Life

Is a beautiful blessing or a beast of burden
It is sensed differently by each of us
For it challenges the best of us
Bringing out the best and worst in us.
Yet life is a journey that much be lived
To make sense of it, in every moment.
You cannot know of life without living it
Every now is a journey of sensing it.

Let’s…

Every one of us can make a positive difference from where we are…

If we are alive...

Let’s make an effort to change the world

And create goodwill in every step.

Here is a poem I wrote a few years ago …

If we must seek…

Let’s Seek Connectedness,

If we must awaken…

Let’s Awaken the Spirit of Being

If we must move

Let’s Move with Empathy in Action

If we must choose

Let’s Choose the Simplicity of Authenticity

If we must rest…

Let’s Rest with Contentment

If we must pursue…

Let’s Pursue Thankfulness in Gratitude

If we must strive…

Let’s Strive for Patience and Tolerance

If we must fight…

Let’s Fight Apathy and Ignorance

If we must reach …

Let’s Reach out with Kindness

If we must become…

Let’s Become a Better version of Us!

Life & Living

Agatha Christie

My friend Laura Bailey from Linked In shared this post in dedication to the memory of Agatha Christie on her birthday. 15 th September.

During my schooling years I had been introduced to her novels and have been an avid reader of her works.

But I never had a face to the name until I saw this post. When I saw her in this post share here are my musings…

They say eyes are a window to the soul

I see a depth of wisdom

In her eyes, of many lives lived

Of experiences in the sharings

There is myriad mysteries

Yet untold and withheld.

The face contours speaks to me

Of a life of reservation

And perhaps some restraints

Yet the eyes conjure up the creativity

Of an insightful nature

That envisions the beyond.

The places & people

Of a knowing beyond this lifetime

So much a face can mirror!

On Approval

A few musings on the need and necessity of approvals.

In your personal life…

What makes you seek approval

For things you can easily decide

What makes you ask another validation

For that which you are uncertain

Is it because you want acceptance

Someone to endorse & accredit

And may be sanction or even certify!

At work

Approvals can be great for efficiency

To build a structure in the processes

Yet they can create delays unwanted

And be the bane of daily operations

So fewer the levels, the better…

What do you think?

Do share your thoughts.
