Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world
Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles
For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…
For others it may be personal
And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.
Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.

Its presence needs a little wait,
In both patience and perseverance.
To envision the mighty rays
Dawn of its true potential.
In lighting the hearts
Aflame in purpose.
This poem aims to reflect the dawn, by beginning slowly to depict the stillness that precedes the dawn and like an inhale, generate the light building up to dawn and then accelerate to the brilliance of sunshine… hope you enjoy reading it.

What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?
It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.
Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self
And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.
On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️

This post actually was inspired by a comment from my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.
Her comment made me stop and think of how much even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.
Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

1/100 #The Path of Clarity
Sometimes when you are lost
Know time is working its ways
Between these moments
Too sensitive to a fault
Or too numb to be hurt.
When life is a like a storm
And you feel lost in a maze
You still find your way out
To the now, as you read this,
Trust time to deliver ways
Trust that…
Savvy
True friends trust
In each other
They find comfort
And care to share & listen
The truth of what it is
Without fear or favour
For they know the value
Of authentic advice
Without frills and fancies
Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.
True friends matter
To each and everv one of us
We are better because of them
In trust, love, care & faith
Count the blessings
Of true friends in this now.
How many such true friends can one count in life?
Only yesterday I witnessed a friendship that stood the test of time and renewed itself in faith & trust.
I thought to myself how important it is to acknowledge the preciousness of true friends as much as to become a true friend that one can count on.

Experience eats degrees for breakfast.
Technology tosses experience and degrees topsy turvy.
Al turns skills redundant and age immaterial.
Wisdom turns knowledge into learning.
For learning never stops.
Humility allows for growth…
Making sense of it all.
All is not light
All is not dark
Between both
The day & night
Are shades & tones
Existing in every now
Nothing is definite
Where there is infinite
In ways & deeds
Then who are we
To judge one another
And frame them
As only black or white.
If we only could understand
The story of every shade
And every tint & tone of light.
We would think twice
Before the final verdict.
So much to discover
So much to understand
So much to know more
On who we are.

Listen to this poem and its further contemplations here on my podcast Live Life Lovingly
My first time
Riding a cycle
As a little kid
I remember
Quite vividly
Father’s hand
Holding the cycle seat
At the back
Teaching me to pedal
As I balance
In complete faith
In the hand
Holding me safe
Wheels spin
On the dirt road
I sense the wind
In my face
As we gain ground
The cycle, me & dad.
I smile happily
And I turn to glance
At my father
But I see him afar
Beaming with pride
Signaling a thumbs up
And then it hits…
I am cycling
On my own now.
In faith & self belief
Confidence springs
As I pedal on in faith.
Life is like a cycle
Keep pedaling
And remember
Roads may seem rough
As terrain turns tough
But there is always
Guidance in need
And signs…
That assures
You are enough
For you.
Ride on, in faith.

Simple is the way
To excellence in leadership
To lead without jargon
And cliched buzzwords
To lead is to practice consistency
In actions that evokes trust
To lead is not about being perfect
But being human & accountable
To lead is to own the misses
And strive to turn it around
And better the self every day
To lead is to value commitment
And raise the bar of excellence
Growing personally & professionally.
Trust is what holds us together
Faith leads our way
Belief begets action
Hope brings limitless optimism
Care creates consideration
Truth brings credence.
Love bonds boundlessly
Each creates the values of being.
