Unity is strength

Infinite are possibilities of growth, in a circle of team,
Increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect & engagement
Of human potential,
In the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.

Quote of the day

Interplay of colours

Find balance in the blending…

Strangely true. Opposites attract.

Have added my painting to depict this quote I came across today..

The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives. Joyce Brothers

Heal in Synchrony

Can I hold my own hand

And close my eyes for a while

And listen to my beating heart

As I still myself and pause.

There is so much to listen in

Body spirit and mind speaks

As it all begins to make sense.

Heart emotes the feelings 

Brain thinks the words out

Hopefully logical

Emotionally rational

All it wants  is a listening  ear

To understand empathicaly

Sensing the  harmony

To heal the self 

Aligning energy in synchrony.

An evening contemplation.

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.

Irony of life

Love

Those who find love

Don’t bother to nurture it

Love starts losing value..

Children

Those who have many children

Find it challenging to rear them

And then there are those

Who ache for the blessing of a child

Health

Those who are in the pink of health

Take it for granted

And then there are those who want nothing more than the wealth of health.

Wealth

Those who have the means of wealth

Find no meaning  in it

And search for a meaningful life

And those who have no means

Are struggling to live each day.

Loss

Those who are grieving

Remember their lost companion

Those who have a partner

Forget there is one.

Despair

Those who are broken

Know the value of living 

To acknowledge the life.

In every moment.

Every life is different

Yet such is the irony of life 

That often life is lost in living it. 

And those who choose to live it lovingly and value the preciousness are truly rare…

Gifts of Life

Life pans out uniquely  each day for us.

And yet every life has its ups & downs

It is how we see it

That makes us who we are.

In the journey of life

Life supports and encourages us

By offering many visible and hidden

Gifts along our paths.

Recognize  and value them

For they are meant for us.

It is up to us to become aware of it

For us to sense & know…

And most of all

Every life is a gift

Value the life

You have.

Spark of the divine

Power of Imagination  takes you places. It’s your choice  where you want to be or go. It’s in you what you choose to imagine .

Divine Sparks

Simply imagine the infinite power of possibilities of the soul. And the pinnacle and the depths of infinite potential .The greatest depths is of the soul within… a spark of the divine!

Journey within :
As one deepens the focus in the inward journey of awareness, greater empathy is felt for the world outside , and when the focus is towards the outer materialistic world the focus turns towards being more self centered than self aware.

What do you think?

A calmer perspective

I have received this poem below through a  social media forward.

And I think I needed to read it today.

It put many things in perspective.

You see, there have been some small and inexpensive things missing at home . We have two house helpers And I was not sure who is the culprit. 

They have been with us for a while and I have senior parents who live at home  so I was letting it go and keep calm,  because it was easier as it was causing a lot of unnecessary confusion and doubt.

In the meantime two months ago I replaced one of them.  And I had felt a sense of relief somehow. And today the other is about to go  on  leave for the customary annual holiday.  It will mean a lot of work for me  personally until I find a helper. Yet I have been feeling positive that better is happening and all is for a good reason.  Sometimes we grin and bear for the fear of changing statesquo…

While I cannot get my lost things as I have no proof, I think I needed a calm perspective to  help me find me a way…

While I do believe that we must take action on that which is within our control , these words touched a chord in me..

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.

Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.

Because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

— Rumi

Evolving Nature

Natures perfectly imperfections

Today I have shared  my nature photography of three blooms,   along with an inspired comment on one my posts on Nature , by my mother Anjana.

There is nothing as complete in Nature. Always there is space for futher growth and further evolution.

So learn to enjoy and admire the imperfections,the seemingly unfinished words or works, they give the room to take it further in a new direction or more positive approach later instead of lamenting internally.

The cosmos itself is infinite , with no beginning or end so that expansion can take place in any direction without boundary.

And All Is Well

You can’t plan life to the last detail

You get what you give

And then some more

You give what you get

And then some more

Some times things happen

You may not know the reason why

But know it’s all for the best

And all is well.

Trust life and trust yourself

Keep being better than yesterday

All works out well for sure.

Crack of light

Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…

Where light enters in hope!

There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks   are where light shines through  , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose. 
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

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.

On Forgiveness

In our life

There are all kinds of times

Life can seem unforgettable

With myriad memories…

All is transient

Sometimes it seems unforgivable

And yet…

When you don’t feel like forgiving

You give yourself the choice

For you can choose to forgive

If you do so…

Your life also evolves for the better

Choose to let go the unpleasant

For it makes no sense to hold on.

Change awaits to make a positive difference.

Choose well and in time.

Life.

A story translation of a foward I received …

The Desert

A man was walking through a desert under the scorching sun. The intense heat and thirst parched his throat, and no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find water. The water he had brought with him had run out, leaving his tongue dry. Desperately, he wandered around, hoping to find water somewhere.

In the distance, he saw a hand pump and thought he could drink water there. He rushed toward it, only to find no trace of water around the pump. Near the hand pump, he found a bottle of water. As he reached out to take it, he noticed a signboard nearby.

The board read:
“You can drink the water in this bottle, but if you pour it into this pump and start pumping, a spring will flow from within. You will have more than enough water to quench your thirst.”

Confused and hesitant, he stood there, unsure of what to do. Gathering his courage, he poured the water from the bottle into the pump and began pumping. On the first attempt, nothing happened. Nor on the second. But on the fifth attempt, water gushed out! Overjoyed, he drank the water to his heart’s content and filled all the bottles he had brought with him.

Before leaving, he refilled the same bottle, placed it back near the pump, and wrote on the board:
“This is true! I experienced it myself.”

Life is like this desert. There are pumps and bottles placed along our journey. Those who drink only from the bottle and move on miss the joy of the spring. But those who dare to pour the water into the pump experience the bliss of abundance and fulfillment
