We are bonded in a connection
By infinite fibers between us
Both visible & Invisible
At times tangible in the feeling
Some times palpable in the sensing
But it takes an acknowledgement
Of the beauty of us beyond the I.

On Sacredness
What makes it sacred
Is it in the feeling
Or in the invoking
Is it in the sensing
Or in the believing
Sacred is holy,
Sacred is divine
Because there is faith
For without it nothing is
With faith anything is possible
For you see the divinity
In every life.
Sense the divinity
In one another.
And life becomes sacred in every moment.

Wind in the shell
We are all mere wind in a shell
Winding &unwinding
Our thoughts in every now
We are travellers shoring our souls
One beach to another
Evolving along the way…

I wrote these lines as a response to a comment on my earlier post .I came across it today and felt it was just apt with the image above.
Gift of this now
This now is full of infinite possibilities
For every day is replete with potential
Whatever the path you take
Your life’s moments are a gift
You are meant to sense
So care to take a moment
To acknowledge the gifts
Of this moment as it is
See how everything connects
To every thing else.
And if you truly wish
You can create more moments
Of joy and light in & around u
Start simply by a practice
Of acknowledging this moment in this now..
Make today count!

A moment of gratitude
In every moment of Gratitude
There is a shift in perspective
Altering dimensions of the reality
Renewing the faith in the flow of life
Regenerating possibilities in grace
Integrating the mind body spirit connection.
Harmonizing all of life and living.

Colours
Coloring all the way
Every flower speaks its truth
As much as every part of nature
Finding its own identity
Like day and night
Dusk and dawn
Colored through myriad hues of light
Creating hope and beauty of life
Nature says, in the most colorful way,
Flow through the day
Express your self uniquely along the way!
Happy Festival of Colors
Happy Holi!

Smile
A beautiful reminder worth seeing every day…
The truth is in shifting perspective with movements
The emotion you feel within changes everything
So if you begin to work on positive shaping
Of your thoughts with a simple smile
Then the smile begins to emanate from the heart
The way you see your life changes for the better
Keep smiling from the heart ❤️

Possible
Dare to dream and walk on
Continue to persevere
In patience and passion
In faith and belief
In hope and trust
There is much good
You are meant to do
In your journey of life
Doubt not your ability
No matter the naysayers
For there will be plenty
Of those who will say so…
But very few who help
You do, what you do
In perseverance & patience
You create your purpose
And you find yourself
In possibilities.
It’s all possible because you know in your heart you can…

On flexibility
An interesting epic story with profound thoughts
“Tongue in Teeth……”
Strolling through the streets of Lanka at night, Hanuman was taken aback when he heard the chants of Sriram coming from a home.
They were not loud but whispers through the windows.
Hanuman wondered who could be chanting my Lord’s name in the city ruled by Ravan.
The house had a cluster of Tulsi plants outside and the walls had signs of Sri Hari.
Just then a man opened the front door and came out chanting the Holy Name.
The Sky was Starlit and it was couple of hours before Dawn.
The man offered water to the Tulsi plants, while performing a Circumbulation.
Hanuman hopped and stood before him, folding his hands.
The man introduced himself as Vibhishana, brother of Ravan.
Hanuman asked
“It baffles me: you are a devotee and a Noble Soul.
How on Earth you live among the Demons? “
Vibhishan smiled and said
“Just as the tongue lives in the mouth with thirty two teeth biting and grinding, around it, not only does the tongue remain untouched, it enjoys all the taste”.
The very food that sits and rolls on the tongue is chewed to a pulp by the teeth and yet this snaky little thing escapes unscathed.
Only time it is hurt is when we have a lapse of mindfulness.
Why?
Philosophically the chief difference is, flexibility.
The tongue’s flexibility is the key to its longevity.
That’s why it gets the taste while the teeth get Root canals and Cavities
They fall too or pulled out!.
But no one loses their tongue.
The tongue teaches…….
Others may grind and bite but you can still enjoy life if you are flexible.
Everything will hurt less, bother less if we loosen up a bit.. then an Avalanche of Peace and Joy is triggered.
If you want lasting Peace and Joy, learn from your tongue and live like it. Befriend it. Tame it. It has a great bearing on your relationship.
On listening
There is the power of sounds
Discovered in Silence
In meditative stillness
In contemplative introspection
In expansiveness of understanding
In the depth of listening
There is then the power of words
Of vision in the verses
Or expressions of the uniqueness
All mere vibrations in resonance.
Thank you for the depth of your empathic listening.

A Share in Goodwill.
Sometimes good work needs appreciation… And that becomes a source of inspiration to do more … Today I am sharing a few of my dear daughters social work experiences at her stint with the HOPE foundation in India, in her own words that she had expressed about the satisfaction and contentment from the heart in doing good and sharing goodwill with the world around us.
I hope it inspires and motivates more in the path of positive intentions and acts of goodwill.
Have been working with an non profit organisation called H.O.P.E for almost a year now.Even though I focused primarily on events , I did want to try helping in their other verticals like Ad Care ,which was basically teaching shelter home children , academically as well as non academically.
Now, the children here hated studying and upon entering for the first time , all I noticed was books thrown outside the window! So we decided to use glitter pens and stickers to motivate them.
I was one such volunteer who taught English through games and then I would draw something for them on their hands because they loved the idea of ‘glitter tattoos’. Everytime I’d do so, all the kids would lineup to get one of their own and I honestly enjoyed the process every Sunday even though I sucked at drawing(I literally drew the kid version of a bird but that would still make them happy). Soon it led to me writing their names for them glitter pens in different fonts.
Coming back to the photo, this was clicked a day before Christmas and I was writing their names in different fonts when two kids asked me to write their parents names as well. This took me by shock as most of them are orphans or have been abandoned by their parents. Nevertheless, I did write their names the way they wanted and it lead to a moment that crushed my soul.
I watched them both High five after the tattoos for the fact that both of them had never seen their parents and they abandoned them here. I was truly appalled as I saw them jump in excitement and running down the hallway.
When I was leaving , the kids came to me and asked me to click a photo with them and asked me to spend every festival with them as they felt lonely. Kudos to our team and H.O.P.E for making a difference! 🙂
Making lemonade
They say when life gives you lemons make a lemonade and enjoy it!
Profoundly said indeed!
Wisdom is in seeing what is possible
Making the best out of the resources
With whatever there is at hand.
It’s not always easy to see hope in scarcity
For it demands thinking beyond the limitations.
Bringing forth ingenuity & integration
Then all that’s impossible becomes worthwhile once again.
For such is life in the living.
A little sour and a little sweet
And it’s all in the tasting.
And about sensing in every sip.

Gifts of feelings
In the myriad moments
And multitude of experiences
In life and living.
There is so much going on
Betwixt and between us all.
So much to live and care for…
Often unsaid words
& repressed feelings
Are brimming in the sensing
Emotions have their way
Of expressing themselves
At inopportune moments.
But if we choose to take time
We can channel our thoughts
In mindful awareness.
Perhaps our emotions
Can be our precious gift
To sense and balance the self.
We are blessed with all
That we need from nature
Let’s acknowledge our gifts.

On togetherness
Hand in hand
We walked
Sometimes me ahead of you
At times you ahead of me
Hands held together
No matter the test of time
Two hands of two hearts
Still together as one.

Life in the living
Aim to give selflessly
Whenever you receive goodness in words and deeds
Ensure you give back generously…
Acknowledge the good celebrate it
And reflect the rays of kindness
That way the sun beams never turn harsh
And the heart always feels light .
