We are filled with countless thoughts
Every waking moment of life
Even more so when we are alone
What we do with those thoughts
Is what matters.
How dense are those thoughts
How much vividity & how much lightness….
This is what decides
The course of life itself.
Its all interconnected
Where the train of thoughts lead us.
Choose to think well.

We are nature and nature is us .
We are all made of star dust.
We all have our moments in the sun.
We all have our dark moments.
Its not easy for any one of us.
We need not profess to be…
Something we are not.
We need not behave as if we know it all.
Our life is created in every now.
We can alter the way we see life.
And how we choose to live it.
Our attitude is a game changer.
If we allow ourselves to be…
We would bare the truth of our being.
Yes we may be vulnerable.
But in that very vulnerability,
We will find our inner strength.
For truth is liberating in nature.

The heart feels
The mind thinks
And generates a seed of thought
But the heart is all encompassing
In the core of the heart
Is the garden of life.
The heart is all pervasive
The heart is willingness
It accepts the seeds of thoughts
It colours it with emotion
Sometimes in all its vividity
In the brightest of tints
Or at times in shadowing tones
Between the dark and light of life
The heart nurtures and nourishes
Thoughts seeds to life.
In positively enriching thoughts
It empowers life to evolve .
What truly matters is..
To plant a positive seed in your heart
Allow the mind to help the heart
Discard the unwanted,
Weed out the unnecessary
Trim the excess growth
Support the saplings of goodwill
Balancing between the heart & mind
Every moment of awareness
Can change the course of life!
Savvy
Be anchored be balanced.
Life has a way of arranging itself.
Trust your path is meant to be
Just be…

There is great power in words…
To charm another,influence or drive a point home.
Engagement online can turn better on bitter in a split second.
It is all in the choice of words used to convey a message.Crossing the Culture Threshold!
What to one might be just a poetic expression
To another might be a glitch of discretion.
Express if one must
Feel free to feel the way you feel is the way to feel
But only as long as anothers peace you don’t unknowingly steal.
For at times in the surging words of emotion…
Arises unnecessary stress and discomfort.
Better to know the pause in the space between our steps
And value your edges in every move.
For in every positive step in discretion
There is simply the strength of trust without mention.
When I penned these lines they were specifically for driving the message home gently that no one can tread on another’s emotional space without permission especially online using the power and persuasion of words…
True respect for another being can simply be about letting others be.
Savvy
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 memorable
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!
