The Parodox of Beauty 2

Beauty is what beauty feels

Continuing in a series on Life and Living … The subject of Beauty brings to mind its paradox As mentioned in my last article I would like to reflect on this with my readers and fellow writers and work in collaboration towards a certain consensus if attainable .

Here is a beautiful reflection of the thoughts of this reader who starts by visualizing in the vebalisation of the beauty in the elemental awareness of nature and culminates her standpoint in the beauty of nurture…

Of a mother and child and the beauty in a loving heart.

Thank you to my dear mother Anjana for your exemplary examples. Rest assured I certainly will be reading these lines often.

“Anything that pleases the eye is beautiful..How much exquisite or breath-taking the physical beauty may be… it’s just skin deep. Beyond that all is same.

A wise soul has this awareness. Though the elements may be the same, their arrangement makes the difference. But there is beauty in the wilderness too.

The dancing flames of fire, the eruptive flowing and glowing lava of the volcono, the blowing sand making patterns on the sands of deserts, the mystery that lies in the underground caves, in the depths of the oceans, in the vast space that surround us , there is beauty in everything. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.

Above all beauty has a connection with love in the heart. Even the so assumed ugliest child looks beautiful to it’s mother. After all beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Can anything be more beautiful than a compassionate and kind heart that sees goodness in all.”

The lines above have an sensitive emotive and reflective quality which is engagingly beautiful to me.

Cont’d…

Compassionate connections

The path of compassion knows not separateness

Flowing in love of life in lightness

In the sparks of surging intuition

To be tender & move with compassion

Beyond mankind to all living being.

In the depths of compassion is an understanding

Of another soul in recognition

And sensing the joy and sorrows in reflections.

So join in to experience in embrace of compassion

Beyond intellect and reason and other egoistic delusions

Join the circle of conscious compassion.

Unite with single minded purpose of communion.

Share without fear or favour

All that you divinely revere

As every journey is a reunion

Of the spirit to another in Godliness .

The energy from such an authentic action

Creates oneness and peace

In and around us.

And a sense of belonging

To this vast wide world

Comes in the knowing

Of our owing to this

world and the beings around us.

We are not alone ever …

Works like a prayer…

For life to have meaning.

A Great Leader Knows…

Great leaders know…
It’s about listening, observing identifying and then empowering & developing middle managers to be great leaders of tommorow.

It’s about rewarding people for the right reasons.
And understanding what gets people to work together.

And then creating and sustainable atmosphere for them to work well together.

It’s about finding time to understand the context of what is. And being able to not only envision the big picture but also project it with authenticity and powerfully so.

For in the many small moments of the day there appears many random tests for a leader.

Leadership is not about making everyone like each other. But about making them understand that it takes all of them to be a consistent and collaborative team players.

And most of all getting every one knowing why they are there and clarifying in simple words what the organization is trying to do.

There is a beautiful saying that goes…’ It’s not about having a team of stars
But about having a star team’

And great leaders create star teams…

Soul wisdom

Life is an expression of the soul…


The soul goes through life


Like a rough diamond that gets polished

The body & mind take a toll


Many times over in a lifetime.


To shine like a diamond does.


In the shaping & moulding


Through the experiences


Garnering wisdom in the living.

Walk in light

Why walk in shadows of dark
When light  is just around the bend.

Walk in light
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.

Trust your inner light to show you the way.
Love the light that you actually are!

Imprints of kindness

On Kindness
Kindle the kindness
It’s the springwell of love
For love is limitless
Kindness generates
Heartfelt abundance
From one to another
Creating magic in action
Be it in words thoughts or deeds.

That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth

Leave imprints in kindness

Every word you say

Every where you go

Every act you do in kindness

Every tree you plant

Makes a difference

For it is busy saving the world.

Be kind stay kind

It’s possible.

Cups of time

Cupclock

If every hour were to be a cup

That would hold what you pour

What what you pour into the cup?

If every cup were to be

As they are meant to be,

Which cups would be full?

And which stark empty?

Language of love

Words are mere words

Trying to justify the senses

A tool for expression

Language has its own limitations

And what to speak of love

For love is limitless

In its depth of feeling

Expansive in its reaching

Far beyond words in the knowing.

Language of love

Is best spoken sensed

From one heart to another

And what to speak of mother’s love

Unconditional in its flow

Sensed and known without a word

A bliss in the bless.

Pure and precious.

A Great Share

Ever Grateful  for a powerful caption that once caught my eye

“Don’t bite more than you can chew….”


Denotes the wisdom of  moderation in life and living. To know a cut off point
Is to know where to draw the line between  exhaustion  and excitement.

Simply taking on more work or responsibility  or trying  to multitasking beyond  your abilities and capacities is self defeating.
So only commit to what you truly can deliver .
Not less not more.
So grateful to have read this many years ago and  consistently  practice this learning. 
Happy to share this piece of advice that is my mindful reminder before taking on more.

Unique pathways

We are uniquely ordained by nature yet so very interconnected that we can find versions of ourselves time and time again as reflections in the resonance.

For what we see in another is a reflection of our own lives, that is unique yet self similar in manifestations .

We all duel and pass through these reflections in our lives at different times in our own special ways.

Every life has its own reason to be. A purpose of being. Every life has its own story Every life unfolds in its own way.

On Self Belief


It’s easy to get caught up in seeking validation and approval from others, but the truth is that the only person you truly need to impress is yourself.

You are enough, just as you are, and your worth doesn’t depend on the opinions or actions of others. When you recognize your own value and believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Learning to be comfortable in your own skin and trusting in your own abilities can take time, but it’s a journey worth taking.

When you focus on cultivating a positive relationship with yourself, you’ll find that you’re happier, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. Remember, you don’t need anyone else’s approval or validation to be happy and fulfilled. You are enough, simply by existing as you are.

It’s common to fall into the trap of seeking validation and approval from others, but the reality is that your self-worth isn’t dependent on the opinions or actions of others. You are enough, and improving yourself from where you are, is the only thing that truly matters. By recognizing your own value and having faith in yourself, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Developing a positive relationship with yourself and being comfortable with who you are takes time, but it’s a worthwhile journey.

By prioritizing your own well-being and self-belief, you’ll discover a greater sense of happiness, confidence, and resilience.

Remember that your happiness and fulfillment don’t require external validation or approval.

You are enough simply by being you.

What is it to dance?

We dance to let go, To enjoy this now. And celebrate it and find ourselves again.
In awareness is a flow, that merges in harmony to synch in with this now, in artistry of the moves… this is the truth of what it is, to dance!
