When what you say
And what you do
Are congruent
The effect of your words & deeds
Radiates all around you in resonance.
It’s no wonder then that
In a world that seems so dissonant
Words and deeds need to synch.
In harmony of such synchrony
Faith and trust meet belief
And that’s what makes all the difference.

Whenever I come across a heart touching action, or a prose ,a poem or quote I will be sharing it here in this series…
Some people make the world a better place by their thoughts words and deeds...
When the sport turns to a dance…
When the feet move in a rhythm
All its own, in uniqueness
Artistry is acknowledged.
An Inspiring life
Friends
See, Brazil’s under 17 footbal coach Amadeu Carlos who is “just” 76 years old.
This is called Brazilian football magic…
He proves “Age is just number.”
Amazing skill, energy and stamina.
This above information is social media forward, yet when decided, I wanted to learn more about him. I found that his age is misconstrued.Yet whatever the age, age is just a number, his skill is clear to see and that’s what is beautiful to see.
Here is a (wiki ) snapshot of his life and living.
Carlos Amadeu Nascimento Lemos was a Brazilian footballer and manager who played as a left back. He represented Bahia as a player before injury curtailed his career. He went on to have a managerial career which spanned almost thirty years.
This is how he sums up his country and its relationship with their favorite sport….“In Brazil when a child is born, the first gift for him is a ball. Our relationship with football is huge. We are a footballing nation and we like that”

Power of suggestions
Shapes our perceptions
Perspectives are formed
Associations are conjured
What is , is not all.
Such is the illusions in the perceptions

Life can challenge us in the living
Each moment can throw us into a maze
That we need to go figure for ourselves
Personally speaking…
I turn to self reflection and solitude walking in contemplative introspection, when I need to rebalance and align myself , as in doing so I am able to understand and reconsider how difficult it has been, given the circumstances and I comfort myself by acknowledging that I have done my best.
I am grateful for this ability to write and paint my heart away, and express myself through arts, just as much as being kinder and compassionate with myself. For in every such moment, I am learning to be a better me.
I also find great solace in meditative movements and soulful dancing that help me bounce back to normalcy.
In difficult times what keeps you sane?

There is dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
Of nature’s creation.
There is the grace of uniqueness
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence …
I bow in Gratitude to this Grace.🙏

WordPress says I have published 1500 posts!! Calls for a little celebration of this milestone and thankfulness in Gratitude to you my dear readers in this journey together! 🙏😊
The Journey so far…
The simple act of writing a little everyday, penning down my thoughts and sharing with you all here, the time spent here, has been deeply rewarding in more ways than one. Yes, a moment of reckoning indeed of all those contemplative times.🙂
While some of you my readers have suggested me to focus on the monentary benefits of blogging, yet a few of you have appreciated my artworks and also suggested that I must compile a book in some of the kind comments you leave, which I will cherish for a lifetime. So thank you all for encouraging & supporting me right through…
As many of you my readers already know, I diligently practice writing a post every day for over three years now…
This is beautiful canvas space of expression for myself on all the little things that come my way and touch me one way or the other
The Vision Ahead …
I believe I am now ready to explore the idea of compiling a book of my writings. So I would truly love to hear from those of you who have walked the path of publishing your books.
Yes there is a lot of information on the internet about publishing, but I think to listen to you my readers, and hear your individual and unique wisdom garnered from your own experiences in publishing a book as a fellow writer would add a relevant perspective.
And secondly if you could share your thoughts of my writings, it would help in understanding more of what you envision of me as a writer.
Would you care to write and share about what are the steps to publish a book?
And as a reader if you have been following my posts here, what genre do you think my works could do well?
It would be really nice to learn from you all.
Do share your experiences, and leave tips for the road ahead in publishing a book if any.
It would be certainly be a step ahead.

The vibrant energy of joyfulness creates a feeling of enthusiasm and wellbeing.
If we can bring it upon ourself to sense joy for what is, we will find it manifests where ever we are, in one way or the other, in more ways than one.
The ability to alter our attitude towards life is directly proportional to the way we experience life.
We are what we think and our behavior is influenced by our perceptions of life and living.
If we wish we can choose to change
The way of thinking and sensing
Life evolves for the better along the way .
Savvy
Amidst the flurry of thoughts
There is a space in the sensing
That heals the hurt and embalms
The spirit of the soul
To recover and rejuvenate
In this invisible space is the secret
Of knowing there is always an answer
To every doubt and confusion
In this space is a silent knowing
Of serenity of wisdom
In hope beyond the reigning chaos
All things happen in good time
Is knowing the power of patience
And the strength of good faith.
There is every reason to believe
In this space, our soul thrives.

Power of positive belief
Self belief and self confidence has a way of showing up …beyond ourselves
In the way we treat others around us
The way we take time out to ensure
That they are cared for and understood
The way we trust ourselves to do much more…
Self belief makes us, own the space we occupy…
And makes us shine the light on others and yet shine our own brilliance.

Positively speaking.
Whether it is today, in these times of uncertainty or other… a positive approach to life and living is deeply rewarding.
This is indeed wonderful as an attitude to cultivate towards living life. Being positively enriching & encouraging is truly the best way to help make a difference.
But the trick is in fine balancing the emotions that manifest along the way.
Embodied Practice of Empathy
When you practice sharing positive vibes consistently, you are putting a lot of hope and faith out in the world.
Yet you need to be empathic to yourself, care to understand your own emotions as well, by accepting and acknowledging them, without getting embroiled in them .
Make sure to acknowledge what is happening with your own life.
Speak from the heart.
All that is happening in the world today can be disheartening . So when you are out, sharing positive vibes make sure that you are internalizing them too. Sustaining a spirit of hopefulness is the key driver for a positive mindset . The world needs doses of positive attitude in thoughts words and deeds.
Authenticity of Attitude.
Making sure to feel from your own heart before you share these words of hope is a worthy practice to adopt.
Whatever said or written,words are mere words But when you begin to respect and respond to the emotions sensed in the feelings that arise you begin to see the world in its most vulnerable state.
When heart speaks the world hums along…
Savvy
Every move we make
In acknowledgement
Of the infinite truths of life.
Of the abundance of nature.
Every step we take in harmony
In conscious awareness
Of the interconnections
Of the nature of our being.
If we only care to remember
How intrinsically intertwined
Is every life to another.
Such is the miracle of every life
Every sign , sound, symbol & shape
Every part of nature has a reason to be.
Interrelated in the river of time.
Envision potential in expansiveness
Of possibilities in inclusiveness.
Recognize the awe & wonder of life.
The miracle of every manifestation.
