An action that builds confidence is better than inaction which arises from fear.
At times the action is a success, at times may be the action needs a new direction to be successful but action is better than no action.

Change is a dare
Change…
Can be unsettling and startling for most
To accept, to digest & acclamatize in the new shifts.
And yet…
To create new spaces for light
To step up in the gamut of creativity
There comes a dare into the unknown
Exploring dimensions beyond.

Lessons in Teaching
An old man meets a young man who asks:
“Do you remember me?”
And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student, And the teacher asks:
“What do you do, what do you do in life?”
The young man answers:
“Well, I became a teacher.”
“ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.
“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”
The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story:
“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.
I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.
Shortly after, my friend noticed the his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.
Then you addressed the class saying, ‘This student’s watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it.’
I didn’t give it back because I didn’t want to.
You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle.
You were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.
However, you told us to close our eyes, because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.
We did as instructed.
You went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it. You kept searching everyone’s pockets, and when you were done you said ‘open your eyes. We have the watch.’
You didn’t tell on me and you never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either. That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life.
But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc. You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or take me aside to give me a moral lesson.
I received your message clearly.
Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.
Do you remember this episode, professor?
The old professor answered, ‘Yes, I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket. I didn’t remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking.’
This is the essence of teaching:
If to correct you must humiliate; you don’t know how to teach “
Life
All of creation has a purpose to its being.
It charts its course towards it.
If we are able to understand the reason for life is to be…
As it is meant to be
We will be more tolerant and inclusive
We will think before we speak
We will choose to see the good and nurture the good.
What we choose to notice life presents itself in many ways
As the way we choose to see the world
The world mirrors itself to us.
See the world with wonder and awe
Choose to respect and be responsible
Cultivate a sense of respect gratitude.
For the infinite abundance called life!

Balmy weather
It’s balmy weather
It’s early morning
The sun is moving
In and out of the trees
Traveling with me
As I am walking…
The chirping birds
Awakening the world
With hope fulness
The wind is resting
Perhaps still to awaken
The clouds are clearing
Heralding the light
In the mighty tree
A few yards from me
I see a beautiful vision… Cont’d
What is it that I see?
Would you like to continue from here…?

Dreams & Intentions
Story : A social media forward.
Three trees in a forest were talking about their dreams.
First tree said, I want to become a beautiful chest & lots of precious treasures should be stored in me.
Second tree said, i want to become a magnificent ship to carry great kings & queens safely across the ocean, even in storms.
Third one told
I want to become the tallest tree in this forest. My height should reach the sky that I should think I am near God.
After some time people came to the forest to cut the trees.
They came near the first tree and said this seems like a strong tree. We will sell this to a carpenter who will make boxes. The tree became happy that its wish is getting fulfilled.
Second tree they decided that it would be suitable to build a ship. The tree was happy that it would finally become a ship.
They saw the third tree and didn’t think of any great use . So it was made to logs n stored.
The carpenter made a box out of the first tree to store hay in a shed.
Second one was made into a small fishing boat.
The third tree was lying as log n stored.
Thus all their dreams were shattered.
Time went by. The trees had forgotten their dreams.
One day a man n woman came to the shed. The lady delivered a baby.They put the baby on the hay in the box made of the first tree.. Immediately the tree realised that it is carrying the greatest treasure on earth.
Few years wentby. Some people were voyaging on the small boat made from the second tree. A big storm started n the tree was worried that it could not save the people it was carrying. At that time one man in the boat said to the sea, be calm. The sea became calm. The tree realised that it is carrying the king of all kings.
After some days a man was carrying the logs from the third tree & walked the street. The people on the way were ridiculing him . They reached a small hill top & the man was nailed on the log & made it stand . After three days the tree realised it was very near God as the man was Jesus Christ.
The dreams of the trees were fulfilled, but not in the way they wanted .
Similarly all our dreams will be fulfilled. May be not in the way or time we planned. But it will happen.
Dream big. Dream good.
Hope is what takes life forward.
Translated from a tamil forward by Anjana
Wisdom of the Way
Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all.Learn The Way, then find your own way.
The silent monk from the Forbidden kingdom
I love this wisdom of The Way
In trying to control
You realize in time
You never can have it all
In fact the more you try to do
You realize how unbalanced you are.
To find balance
You meet stillness in the listening
For it vibrates it’s own music.
Hear in silence and you sense it.
You don’t need to try too hard
What is meant to be found appears.
You don’t need to overstretch
You simply need to ease in to connect deeply.

Somewhere somehow
In moments of loneliness
The tango of the mind & heart
May seem to overwhelm.
Choose to shift the narrative
Understand you can be alone
Without feeling lonely
Blame not your luck or fate
Find connects with your own self
Draw out the beauty of you.
Acknowledge your feelings
Allow your emotions to express
Draw your patterns of possibilities
Doodle, dance, sing or play
To express and let go.
The spirit of the soul revives.
Care to relish the moments
Of connects that you sense.
Remember you matter to you
Stop being hard on yourself
Start to discover your potential
Choose to know yourself
All of you body mind & spirit
Seek to sense the freedom to be
All that you want.
Do that which feels you
With or without company
Choose to carve your life
Choose to be in spaces
That makes you happy
Find ways to connect
Volunteer your time
For a cause that resonates
Sooner than later
You will find
Your kind of vibe
Somewhere somehow.

Sensing peace
Imagining peace
Soothing the spirit
Calming the senses
A river of joy flows through
In the sweet sounds of music
Memories of many melodious moments
Fleeting by in the harmony of the flow…

Heart & Mind
So many feelings
So many thoughts
Creating confusion
Body mind & spirit
What to say and do
What to hold on to
And what to let go
Queries the mind.
Let go doubt
Let go assumptions
Let go prejudice
Let go judgements
All is meant to change
All is meant to flow
Answers the heart.
But the dance of the mind and heart continues😊
Every day… until
Dancing the doubts away
The body heals
Awakening the intuitive wisdom
The spirit regenerates…

Trust matters
In continuation to my earlier post on trust I share a few verses that flowed along…
Trust is the lifeline
Between people
That keeps hope alive
In faith and belief
That things will come through
In trust life resurrects
And success sustains
In feeling fulfilled.
A lack of trust
Erodes relationships
Personal or professional
For when trust is broken
Efforts become meaningless
For sense of purpose is lost
Without trust
Every thing crumbles…
Until trust is gained
Nothing matters.
