Thought provoking
In a matter of scale
We are destroying nature
Than developing with nurture.
Global warming, melting ice
Depleting forest cover
Flood & earthquakes
All a sign of stark changes…
Yes our world is evolving
We are innovating, exploring
New frontiers in space
But how far have we really arrived?

To all the dancers and those who choose to waltz with life….
As dancers we are a lucky lot!
We are totally able to dance with time…
Move with it on time,
Or take the offbeat road to reverse and revel the joy of reflections in the rivers of time.

The Road to Acceptance has many challenges in the learnings… not often easy, but certainly transforming in one way or the other.
Like there are many aspects to understanding
In acceptance there are many perspectives
Acceptance is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient nature of everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now.
The Paradox of acceptance is being defenseless to yin and yangs of life and living. Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength, is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness , in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

The world may seem to revolve around you
But you revolve along with the world.
So to be in balance is to take a hold
Of the space you are in
To find your bearing, before you react.
To optimize your response
Begin to understand and discern
Where another is in space, in thoughts
In actions and deeds.
To listen actively
To empathize with their needs and wants…
To be able to see the ‘Us beyond the I’
To shift the ‘Me to the We’
This is what will truly help
Us to understand where we are.
Life is like that,
Its meant to evolve and grow
Along in the flow!

On letting go ….
Making peace with the now,
Very easy, they say.
Follow the breath,
And peace flows.
Yet…
We all know
That it is quite a task
To be consistent.
That’s how life is!
Such is truth in itself
In this now
As every moment
Gives in to the new.
We are meant to be,
To learn and unlearn.
Our senses,
Our emotions
Challenge us in the changes.
Our system takes a toll;
Our beliefs turn around
In soul searching ways…
And then, we learn to see
The moment as it presents itself.
All judgements and assumptions,
All prejudices and preconceived notions
Fade away into the oblivion.
We live in this moment.
In engagement again
But with this now,
Without forgetting what has gone
But forgiving times bygone.
For only then, we make space,
For peace to flow in…

I was a little kid when I first came across this beautiful word Aurora …and then I read about the Polar Lights and was truly fascinated.
Back then I read as much as I could find in books before the age of the internet.
For many of us so far away from the poles this is often impossible to imagine beyond a blue sky… let alone the dancing lights.
Resharing this poem which is a dedication to Nature’s dance in the sky… all in the depth of my awe & fascination.
Spectre of brilliance
An opera in the sky
A dance of dazzling lights
Of colours flashing through.
Luminescent beyond compare
Magical spectacle of brilliance in the flow
An undulating waltz in the yonder
An unveiling of earth’s myriad wonders.
Such an ethereal vision
Mystical northern lights
Unbelievable, unforgettable
Awesomeness beyond mere words.

Life and living…
Every life has a purpose all its own.
Life is what you make of it.

Make it meaningful
Live to sense the magic of life.

Own your breath
Inhale the good
Let go the spurious
Anything that never matters
Is bound to bounce off.
What is necessary receive
With atmost regard.
Your breathe holds the key
Unlock the healing potential
As you breathe deeper
With all of your awareness
In every inhale and exhale.
Breathe in peace.
Savvy
There is a place
That fills you with positivity
Enriches you with expansiveness
Embodies inclusiveness.
Enough to keep your faith going.
Endowed with trustfulness
Believe in possibilities.
A place of potential value
Thats nurturing in itself.
That lights the way forward.
A place that speaks to all of you!
A beautiful place called hope!
Savvy
There are signs that seem to appear
Out of nowhere
That make us hope, have faith
That help retain our trust
That shows the way
In our darkest hours.
There is a communion
Of our senses with our soul
A beautiful serendipitous wave
That washes through us
To bring clarity along the way.
The truth is always with you…
Guiding us to believe
To see the bigger picture.
To know nothing is accidental
There is always something more.
Savvy
When the world wakes up to a day
To see the harmony of existence
Exemplified in a rainbow
The world will change…
When the world connects from the heart in empathy
Than with mere words
Then those connects will transform the world 🌎
The world is changing itself
But old habits die hard
Sad truth is all thats wrong with the world today is man-made.
Beyond the darkness is light
Beyond fear and doubts
Lies possibilities in hope
All is meant to be well.
Savvy
Your choice to be who you are
Rests with you.
You choose the way you behave
Your attitude to life is your own.
Your behavior is yours to own.
Show up for yourself
Choose to be the best you can!
Choose to leave a heart print of hope
Whenever you can
Wherever you are.
The world will thank your being.
For thats what the world needs most.
Savvy
None can tell you what is the truth
As much as you yourself can!
Often a mentor , a guide a teacher
Can take you near your truth
But its all up to you to own yours
Every truth is colored by perspectives
Of its own creation.
Every person has a truth
That needs to be reckoned with
As the perspectives converge
There is an emergence
Of the truth of one’s being.
