She seems calm and composed and at complete ease .
A pretty picture of her face framed by her curly locks.
She seems to know more than she wants to tell
Her smile seems to sense much more as well
Her truth is hers alone, as her lips may seal
Oh! but what all a good capture can reveal.
Our personna is so transparent on the verge
Of Shadows thrown open to light
The inner and outer may merge
And unmask thoughts that may be shut tight.
Shadows of past out in the open today
And capture thoughts held at bay
All it takes to know is a shutters click
In perfect timing of what to shoot & pick

This picture was shared on one of my networks in Social Media and I felt compelled to take a second glance …. the picture spoke much and my pen had to flow to capture the thoughts on this pretty capture.
What does it take to accept everything that is happening in life as an unfolding mystery?
All of you!
And when that happens,
No storm is unsurmountable,
No pain is unmanageable,
No hurt is unforgivable.
Yes, it takes all of you
To complete this circle of life and living.
And in every step you take towards realization
You are only another step closer to home.
To decide not to stress and focus on things that you may not be in control of is a step towards understanding the meaning of true acceptance as not resigning the self to fate but to accept it as part of the phase in the ebb and flow of tides in life.
A few reflections:
Acceptance is the key when life happens beyond your comprehension.
Action is the key when there is something you sense you understand enough.
Acknowledgement is the key while sharing goodwill in trust and hope.
Appreciation is the key to manifesting abundance.
Accept life as a mystery that will dawn.
All else is history that has gone in the dusk.
All is well in time, always.
This post has come as an afterthought when I came across a particularly poignant story shared by a good friend caught in turmoils of time and yet being brave enough to ease into acceptance and appreciate the good happening around by sending goodwill and hope to those around him in thoughts words and deeds.
I know there are many who put out ‘All of themselves ‘ to brave out the odds every single day …. My salute to such inspiring souls. Stay ever blessed!
This above digital artwork Titled ‘Circles of thoughts:9 is a creative interpretation of encircling thoughts, The verses that follow is the ninth part of my series of micro poems on interconnecting thoughts.
The title of this poem comes from reading a contemplative article by my friend Deb Helfrich. She mentions the need to step out of our own way, at times, to appreciate what we have. So, thank you, Deb, for inspiring me to pen a few verses on a parallel thought.
As we celebrate our Independence day in India, may we care to value the underlying philosophy behind the word Independence… the ability to voice our uniqueness and express our individuality amidst a global platform .
Truly independence is a birthright that allows us to freely express ourselves, but along with it, is a sense of responsibility, a duty to empower the within as much as the world .
Channelizing the creative flow of freedom of expression to positive outcomes for the larger good is a responsibility for every individual… it is actually the simple way to create a life of well being with in and around each of us and for the world at large.
As we are after all an interdependent world even in our states of independence…. that to me is valuing and practicing Conscious Independence.:)
Happy Independence Day!
May we always Dance the dance of independence and freedom.
May we tune ourselves to connect with joys in tandem.
May we always remember and value great souls lost in martyrdom.
May we acknowledge that the strength in the interdependence is never random.
May we always respect our roots and learn to follow our inner wisdom.
