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…

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.

Fragility of life.

Life is like that

Fragile and fragmented

There is much left unsaid undone

There is much left incomplete

For we are not perfect beings

Fragility is a truth of our life

But life continues  ….

However much we may think we have given our best

There is always an expectation

Some how somewhere

That is yet left unfulfilled

There is always something more

That we need to have done.

A battle we need to have fought

A voice we should have raised

A devil we need to have dared

And annihilated

It happens in one way or another.

But we can only learn

By living our life forward

And while unfortunately we cannot go and undo all the past

We certainly can empower ourself

To rise no matter the storms .

And right the wrongs in time.

Leaving the world a little better  than before .

I wrote this as a heartfelt offering of support and encouragement in  hope to those going through or remembering a traumatic past.

While life is fragile

Hope is here to stay .

What is the colour of your thoughts today ?

Question yourself

Am I thinking well?

If I were to choose a colour

What colour would my thoughts  be in this now?

Are my feelings cold or warm?

Are my emotions overflowing or in balance.

Is my spirit shackled or free?

Are my thoughts racing or calming?

Your answers will speak to you,

Of your state of being.

If ever you feel the need to introspect and self regulate you can use these questions that came to me today to do a self check, as to where you are placed in this spectrum of life in the now.

Writing here every day on WordPress has drawn many readers who have messaged me their challenges and it is a privilege to connect, meet and also coach some of them.

As a writer and a life coach, I have been intentionally motivating with my thoughts over the years. I find joy in writing my heart out and yet be able to empower myself and my readers with positive thoughts.  I believe it makes a difference and I hope to continue making these small yet positive impacts through my works, be it  through art or words.

Feel free to share colours of your thoughts today here.

And I hope you have a beautiful  time wherever in the world you are.

On Wisdom

What to speak of wisdom?

Tommorows wisdom

Is open to learn

From the errors in this now.

In the listening, in the living

In the feeling in the sensing.

So much to understand…

Question remains are we open

to acknowledge  the misses,

as a part of being human ?

Are we ready to receive

from these experiences…

Seeking wisdom in the lessons.

Hope is here to stay

Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope. 

Do share your thoughts on it.

“Her eyes wander to find him

Amongst a sea of faces

Knowing he is there somewhere

Hope is here to stay “

The first love

She was a teenager  in love

For the very first time

She felt the joy

To express with all her heart

The joy of being with another

Two hearts  so full of love

In a world all their own.

He wrote her poems

And read each one out loud

It was an idyllic love

Too good to be true

And in time life happened

And they parted ways

But the feelings still the same 

Etched in memories

And never forgotten

No matter the ravages of time. 

Yet life never stops for any one.

Life brings in beautiful moments

That makes life worth living 

People come people go

But memories, last at eternity…

The Mother

She is old and wrinkled

Yet oft her memories rush

To that fateful day

When a trip to the beach

With friends and family

Changed her life forever.

For as the sun set on that day

In that crowded beach 

She lost her only son

And the meaning to live on.

And to this day,  in every crowd

Her eyes look out

Searching for her little son 

In a sea of faces

No matter the river of time …

Life has its own challenges

For every life in the living

But hope is unending

For hope is here to stay.

Strengthen your humanity

Keep your heart grateful

Keep your mind thankful

Keep your spirit humble

It will strengthen the foundation

Of many virtues of being human

Like love, trust and faith

Courage and contentment

Health, happiness and joy

Creating a blessed life

As the words flow

As writers I am pretty sure many of us can relate to this …

A few thoughts on writing and how it helps me every day.

I write with a sincere heart
Honouring the words that flow
Feeling the truth of my potential
As the waves of thoughts
Light my day, along the way…
As much as my spirit & soul
It’s one of my self care routine
To sense & emote and express
Without fear or favour.
So grateful for the blessings,
It gives.
🙏

On writing every day

I have been writing every day for almost a decade now, it has become a well ingrained habit. I thoroughly enjoy my me time. Most days it’s every morning  time that I pen my thoughts,  but I never force it to a particular time. Someday it’s a joy to write  down whenever  I feel the inspiration.

And Inspiration is everywhere

I simply started on a lark and  what is beautiful is, every day there is always something  that inspires the words . And I hope to continue as  long as the words flow…

How has writing improved your life ?

How do you approach your writing?

The phase of blur


Between and betwixt
The light & dark
There is a phase of blur
Wherein clarity is embedded. 

In this momentary distortion
The phase holds the potential
For infinite possibilities.
Awaiting its turn to appear
Blur may seem bleary,
But like a bud holds the bloom
Blur holds the moment of clarity.


Fear not the blur
It’s a transient phenomenon
Like all things
Change is the only constant.


An embodiment of uncertainty
Of the uncomfortable reality
Blur takes its time to clear
Like a foggy winters day.


It makes you imagine your truths
In the shadows of grey
Between the black & white
Blur may seem challenging
But it provokes perception
To decipher this dance of illusion & reality

Regeneration time

As the light dawns

As light dawns
It dispels darkness
Spreads hope & cheer
Bringing joy & happiness
To all touched by this light.

As the waves of light
Transmit itself in the world
Hearts heal and life regenerate
For light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light of you.

Heart matters

The same heart that loves

Hurts some day

The same heart that hurts

Heals some day

The heart is extremely versatile

Capable of being adaptable

Beyond our fears and doubts

Capable of love and hate

And all the shades in between.

From going green with envy

To blossoming  like red roses…

Heart beats on its own tune

Take care of the heart

Feed it well

Stay happy and healthy

In good faith and trust.

For life is in the heartbeat.

And so it flows

Swimming in a sea of words

Riding on waves of  thought

Rowing with the oar of faith

Sailing on a ship of trust 

Flowing along the ocean of time…

I am grateful for the blessings

Of words that fill my heart

Thankful for the creative thoughts

In the receiving I share

In the sharing I receive

And so it flows…

What do you see?

What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Is it the nature of the land?

Do you sense the sandstorm?

Do you see the vivid colours of the womens clothes juxtaposed against the barren land?

Do you see them huddle together taking refuge with no where to go?

This picture evokes emotions.

The wind, the women

Heads to toe covered 

Yet braving the sun barefoot 

The sand across the land

The parched dry pots.

What else do you see?

Let the seasons be…

If a day could be wrapped in a minute

If a year could be tucked in a season

Life would happen too fast

With no time to simply be

Life would be one rushed affair

Wish nothing in a hurry

Let the days be, to dare

Let the nights be to rest anew

Let the flowers bloom in hope

And let the leaves rustle in the wind

Let the seasons come by

All in good time

For you and for me.
