Poets & Poetry

On power of words:

A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives,
Embedded in words in a flow…

Sometimes the words may rush
On its own without hesitation
To express away with a purpose.

But often it is a channeling…
Of creating spaces between
To pause & empathize
Before the outpouring.
It invites you to ponder…

Words have profound power
In the way they are arranged
And the thoughtful poet knows
To convey the message home.

Yet , every poet is one of a kind
And so is their poetry
Every poet balances the flow uniquely…

On empathy:

In Poets, empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion,
It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic, as to be a poem the verses need to be well emoted as much as arranged, as words manage to touch another soul in inexplicable ways.

And what happens when empathy connects with poetry?

What are your thoughts on the above?

An unrealized dream…

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Healing heart to heart

There is a dog somewhere nearby
That is barking every once in a while
It is not the usual bark and not a yelp either
But I feel it’s something not ok
Perhaps it is loneliness
A yearning for a companion
Or a little comfort & care.
My heart aches to hear it every day
And wants to help.
But try as I might
Yet, I am unable to find the dog.
Till then ,
I hold my hand on my heart
If it is a pain of some kind
I pray that the pain goes away …
I send a healing light
To shift the energy & ease the dog.

When the world feels safe enough

I wonder

When the world  will feel safe enough…

To trust the day that is unfolding

To be assured there will be peace

To feel secure, wherever we are

Till then let’s keep breathing

And being present in the breath

And in hope all is well.

Being human

Our  own struggles seem the most difficult. Our journey of life may seem unique to us.And yet if we bring to awareness  that this imagined spectrum of universe is a dot in the multitude of multiverses yet unknown, we realise our so called egoes are but a tool for motivating our life to keep us exploring the possibilities in our lifetime. 

But instead of seeing the bigger picture we see ourselves as mammoth beings & as if only our life and our journey is important. 

How far away from the truth we are?

If we only keep seeing our circle  of life is but a spec in the cosmic  ocean we will realize our truths as  humans and learn to be in touch with our humanity.

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

Seeding Wisdom

The seed bears wisdom untold

From humble beginnings

Emerges immense possibilities

What seems a non starter

Can be a gamechanger.

And yet…

Growth has many phases

In the course of its life

Through the ups & downs

The chaos gives way to clarity

From the immature to maturity

The tree stands tall

Embracing the changes .

The seed to a tree

Teaches the wisdom of patience,

As it bears fruits in time.

A reminder

Digital Art : Savvy Raj

Great to have garden

Tending to each plant

Makes us happy

And yet the world seems lonely

For we have forgotten

The power of community.

Of strength in the interconnects

Of unity in togetherness

The bends without breaking

For in tending to our own garden

We forget the paths in between

The You and I

We forget  the give and take

We  forget care for one another

We forget  sharing the joys & woes

Of life and living

Instead we sit alone

In our self built fences & walls.

We think we are happy alone

Little realizing the effects

Of being lonely…

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?
