Birthing in the now

Your birth is not the only time you are born

You are born in every moment of awareness

You are born in every  conscious breath.

You are born in the pain and the pleasures of living life.

You are born in every deed of compassion & kindness.

You are born in the joy of both inclusion and expansion.

You are born in the moments of heartfelt connections.

The truth is you can birth yourself in every now.

Align your breath with presence.

SPARKS OF LIGHT

There are times we sense, how words are sparks of light.

From life and lifetimes lived

Of learnings from being you

That is actually meant to light hearts

Near and far…

We simply need to trust, for words know and find their way.

Keep sparking & sharing your light ✨️ 🙏

Books are life

This morning I started my day with a beautiful book gifted by my daughter to me called… ‘Light from many Lamps.

I was inspired just sensing the light of life in each chapter…

So yes, ‘Books are life’ and I have, had and hope I continue to have all the energy to read some more…

What is your recent read?

Who are you?

Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.


Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.

Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond  speech, I am the breath that experiences life.


Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be.  🙏

Join in with me for a  moment of  alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole.  🙏

Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’

What are you feeding your mind?

Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”


Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.


Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.


Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.


For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.


Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

Making sense of it all… 

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.

The Art Of Noticing

In every now

There is so much to note

Notice the bigger picture

The grand plan of nature.

Notice the sky

Holding the sun & the clouds,

The moon & the stars.

Notice the transitions

The fleeting nature

The pain & pleasures of life

Appear and disappear.

Notice the expansive infinite

Widening in your thoughts

Notice your breath dance,

Finding its rhythms.

Notice how the movements

And the stillness therein,

Are all part of the dance.

All in time

Every thought has its own flow
Every word finds its own space
Every space has its own synchrony
Every sound its own frequency
Every element, its own energy
Lets enjoy the space between the steps.
And acknowledge the  harmony in the synergy…

All in time.

Meet me in the middle

This poem will resonate with those in strong relationships  that stands the test of time and yet may find themselves challenged and at crossroads with differences in thoughts and opinions. Pretty much most who have experienced life together will find themselves in such predicaments time and time again.

In relationships when you are unable to see eye to eye, where past misses surfaces or future  expectations sideline the precious present, perhaps this poem can be a reminder of how far you have traveled  together to reach here.

All is not lost just yet… if you could only meet in the middle. For the strongest relationships survive in empathic understanding of each other through the thick & thin.

Meet me in the middle,
With an open mind,
Set aside differences,
We’re the same kind…

Today we may be at crossroads
looking with a different lens
But our hearts beat as one
Like it used to, years ago.
The feelings just the same…

So dearest one, sense it all
Memories are meant
To be revisited in time.
Think of how far we have come
And meet me not in the past
Nor in the the future
But right here in the middle
Of this present now.

Inside outside

Inside outside

Quick fixes  are only a band aid.Temporary ways are not the answer. It is about creating a simple routine that is consistent.

Zoom beyond small niggles. See the bigger picture to understand the truths of  reality.Distil it all for a take away.

You are not the problem.

Care for yourself. You can build yourself. Be kind to yourself. Overdoing anything  overwhelms. Choose consistency over intensity.

Change your life for the better by doing something good for yourself .Through small changes that change your relationship with who you are.

Savvy

In reflection…

Real growth isn’t a battle to be won through self-punishment. It is a relationship to be nurtured through self-kindness. In shifting how you relate to yourself through small, daily, consistent choices,perspectives change.

Life transforms from inside out.

Dear Reader,

When things feel out of balance, what is that one quick fix you find yourself reaching for?

And would you choose consistency  over intensity?

And if so in what ways… do share.

Ripples of Reflection

Like drops of water

Creating circles upon ripples

In the vastness of the  ocean of life,

One thought leads to another,

One word finds another,

One deed creates a momentum.

What is common is the energy,

In the ripple of reflections

Sparking creative flows

That finds its own purpose.

For nothing is accidental

Every thing connects

In its own time.

Savvy

From the standpoint  of physics, a ripple doesn’t actually  move the water forward, it moves the energy  through the water…

Likewise our creative and spiritual practices are simply  conductors for channeling deeper universal energy.

This perspective shift acknowledges that timing and alignment  are natural laws  and not coincidences thereby  discards the unnecessary anxieties in trying to force outcomes…

After all we are both the drop of water and the ocean itself.

So if every thought word and deed creates ripples in the vast ocean of your life, what is the nature of the wave you are setting in motion right now?

What happens in space, stays in space.

​Space…

is what I make of it.

​Space allows,

and restrains

all at once.

In every now,

space is filled with infinite possibilities.

​Abundance.

Potential.

All truths,

as I perceive them in space.

​Space is fluid.

Space is alive.

​Space…

is what you make of it.

​What you sense in space,

stays in space.

What happens in space,

stays in space.

​Space is wonder.

An expansive phenomenon.

​The feeling of space

for you,

for me

is deeply different.

So is its need.

​Is there a divide at all

between physics and metaphysics?

Aren’t they interwoven,

deeply interconnected?

​It is only a question

of how open we are

to understanding space,

and the possibilities

in its potential.

​It is all

In, around,

and beyond.

Dancing with Chaos


An ocean is not always calm waves
Its true nature is full of powerful currents.
It’s not about resistance of errant waves
It is in surfing in the midst of it.


When you find your anchor,
You realize it’s not anywhere but within you.
Your deepest truth is your stillness in the movements;
In it lies your strength of flexibility.
That’s true resilience.


And remembering movements are unique in themselves,
Like one tide to the next,
Each carries its energy waves differently.
Every storm is meant to teach a new lesson:
To dance with chaos,
You realize, is to yield and adapt to the flow.

Listen

Contemplations on the Flow


When I look back at the past few years, it really feels like we have all been learning a brand-new dance right in the middle of complete chaos. There were moments when the waves felt so massive and came so fast that it was incredibly easy to feel totally overwhelmed.
But there is a simple, beautiful truth about being in deep water: you have to swim. If you stop moving, you drown.
And that is exactly what you have been doing. Think about it…even on the days when you felt like you had absolutely no energy left, or when you couldn’t see the shore anywhere on the horizon, you still kept moving. You kept breathing. You didn’t give up.


When you are right in the thick of a storm, something incredible happens inside you. You find a way to move not just in spite of the chaos, but entirely beyond it. You discover an inner rhythm you didn’t even know you had. You realize that the storm might be incredibly loud, but it doesn’t get to decide who you are.
Real strength isn’t about being tough like a brick wall. If a wall faces a strong enough force, it eventually cracks and breaks. True resilience is much softer and more fluid than that. It’s the ability to look at the messiness of life and say, “Okay, this is what is happening right now. How do I move with it?”


Every struggle we’ve faced over these last few years hasn’t just been difficult. It has been a teacher. It showed us that we are far more flexible, far more capable, and so much stronger than we ever gave ourselves credit for.
Each day brings a slightly different kind of challenge. No two storms feel exactly the same. One day it’s a sudden setback, the next it’s just a wave of heavy exhaustion. Each one carries its own unique energy, and each one is trying to show us something new about our own capacity.


When you find that quiet space inside your own mind…that beautiful bit of stillness that stays calm no matter how loud the world gets…you stop drowning. Adapting to the flow isn’t giving up or surrendering. It is actually the truest alignment of your power. It’s choosing to surf the wave instead of letting it crash over you.


So if you are feeling tired today, or if the water feels a bit rough around you right now, take a deep breath. Remember how far you have already come. You are already swimming. You are already dancing. Trust that inner stillness, keep moving with the flow, and know that you have everything you need inside you to make it to the other side.

The Power of Calm

​There is charisma in calm.

It’s the power of stillness

in life’s highs and lows.

​In calm lies confidence,

invoking assurance.

To be calm in a conversation

evokes an energy of peace…

a vibrancy devoid of agitation.

​Within the calm, there is a depth of awareness.

At the center of composure

is the potential to assimilate;

no matter the chaos,

you find your equilibrium.

Contemplations

When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?

​What does calm feel like to you in this moment?

What is the distance between you and your sense of serenity?

Where and how do you think you can find your center?

A Note on the Dawn

My morning moments hold a precious tranquility for me. I choose the dawn to set my intention for the day ahead. In the quiet moments before the world wakes, I find my creative state of flow. Although I strive to connect with this peace throughout the day, the energy of the early morning resonates most deeply. It sets the tone for everything that follows.

How do you relate to the calm of dawn?

How do you sense the power of calm?

Audacity of Hope

Hope is audacious
It is the nature of hope.
To dream of wins again
No matter the failures.

To see the light of dawn
No matter the darkness of night
Hope is here to stay.
