Unearthing The Self

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Covered in the grime of life

Masked in the mire of living

Seasoned in the sands of time.

Life may seem meaningless,

Submerged in the shadows.

Yet trust time in its flow

As it unearths the Self.

In its own unique way

P.S

This poem flowed in a moment of  silent contemplation…

I pose a question to you

Looking back at the layers

Life brought forth in time

Are there more, that are shielding you?

Or are there more that you want to wash away? 

And more importantly…

Are you ready to unearth the Self?

I hope in reading these verses, it brings in a sense of pause and trust, wherever you are in your own unique journey of unearthing the self .

Twilight

Twilight expresses the moment of change
In the most gentle of ways.
Change that allows
Change that accepts
Change that acknowledges…
that transition takes time.
It also holds moments of awe and wonder.

Yet change is rarely felt this way…
For change can be the difference
Between the dark and light
Of the night and day.


Humans are hardwired
To fear change in doubt and  uncertainty
But change is the only constant.

However… humans are also wired in hope
To trust transitions of change is hopefulness
And hope is here to stay.

Spirit of Freedom

An open pathway beckons you
Across the threshold

See the horizon of hope
In the warmth of day light

Take a step forward in trust
It holds much promise

Glide onto the green fields
Let your spirit soar

And sense the spirit of freedom
To be all that you can be..

River of time

How far have we come
From the many versions of ourselves
In this river of time
Where like water, that flows onwards
Time can never be visited backwards…
Only in memories
Held within the hearts & minds
Reminding us of the paths traveled in time.

Life continues to evolve in every now.

As life flows on …

Colouring  itself

Along the way.

I share this above digital artwork here from back in time…when AI  prompting and image creation was very nascent.

Birthing in the now

Your birth is not the only time you are born

You are born in every moment of awareness

You are born in every  conscious breath.

You are born in the pain and the pleasures of living life.

You are born in every deed of compassion & kindness.

You are born in the joy of both inclusion and expansion.

You are born in the moments of heartfelt connections.

The truth is you can birth yourself in every now.

Align your breath with presence.

Who am I ?

This life I am in,

Is beyond emotions & intellect.

Way beyond feelings & senses.

Beyond the pain & peace of the moment. 

Beyond the pressures of life & living.

Hence I am not my peace.

And I am not my pain.

I am not the height of happiness.

I am not the depth of sorrows.

I am simply me as I am…

In the infinite resonance

In the dance of conscious awareness

A living spark of the cosmos.

Who are you?

Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.


Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.

Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond  speech, I am the breath that experiences life.


Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be.  🙏

Join in with me for a  moment of  alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole.  🙏

Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’

What are you feeding your mind?

Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”


Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.


Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.


Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.


For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.


Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

Art lives on…

An artist leaves much more
than creativity in the artwork.

There is a voice in every frame,
speaking deeply if you care to listen.

That voice carries the artist’s choices
of color and composition,
of style and strokes,
of moods and feelings
breathed into the birth of art.

The artist speaks through the work.
The energy of the artist is embedded
in words, in lines, in shapes and forms.

When a piece feels complete,
the artist releases it to the world.
And yet, the energy lives on,
transforming itself through time
and the spaces it inhabits.

Art is transformed again
in translation and interpretation,
reshaped by those who encounter it.

As creators, whether of images or words,
our work continues to live,
each viewer or reader sensing its energy uniquely.
And so it flows…
transforming itself in time.

What Sustains Humanity?

Nature of humans.

Nurtured in love.

Seeding compassion

Watered in hope.

Reared in kindness.

Strengthened in trustfulness.

Rooted in connectedness

Fortified in faith.

Sustains humanity.

The Game Changer

Often it is in the adversity,

you meet your true strengths.

In the tests of life,

you find your true self.

That which you discover

in these challenges,

arrives in the journey

to steer you on your path.

So hold on, in trust & faith.

For no matter what,

all in not lost.

You will find it in you,

to begin anew. 

In experiences of adversity, 

you meet yourself.

And that’s the gamechanger.

A question to my reader…

If you were to think of the past challenges,what comes to mind as a strength you uncovered about your self that you wouldn’t  have found any other way ?

The Art Of Noticing

In every now

There is so much to note

Notice the bigger picture

The grand plan of nature.

Notice the sky

Holding the sun & the clouds,

The moon & the stars.

Notice the transitions

The fleeting nature

The pain & pleasures of life

Appear and disappear.

Notice the expansive infinite

Widening in your thoughts

Notice your breath dance,

Finding its rhythms.

Notice how the movements

And the stillness therein,

Are all part of the dance.

All in time

Every thought has its own flow
Every word finds its own space
Every space has its own synchrony
Every sound its own frequency
Every element, its own energy
Lets enjoy the space between the steps.
And acknowledge the  harmony in the synergy…

All in time.

Truth of Nature

Rain

It is the nature of rain
To wash away the dust
Until it’s clean and green.
Yet, too much rain
Floods and destroys.
Such is the truth of nature.


Each element of nature
Is balanced with the other.
The dry lands help sustain the wetlands…
One supports another
To sustain and thrive.
Such is the truth of nature.


Desert


Desert sand blows in the wind…
Winds carry the dust
Across the world,
Over lands and water,
Finding new settlements.


The truth of nature
Is the interconnections.
The kind that keeps us alive,
The kind we may not realize,
The kind we need to emulate
In this now and for our future,
To survive and thrive.

Just think…

If nature survives through quiet reciprocity, perhaps our own survival depends on learning to receive what is given, and giving what is needed.

Todays freeverses are inspirations that arrived  from contemplations with Anjana, my dear mother.

Ripples of Reflection

Like drops of water

Creating circles upon ripples

In the vastness of the  ocean of life,

One thought leads to another,

One word finds another,

One deed creates a momentum.

What is common is the energy,

In the ripple of reflections

Sparking creative flows

That finds its own purpose.

For nothing is accidental

Every thing connects

In its own time.

Savvy

From the standpoint  of physics, a ripple doesn’t actually  move the water forward, it moves the energy  through the water…

Likewise our creative and spiritual practices are simply  conductors for channeling deeper universal energy.

This perspective shift acknowledges that timing and alignment  are natural laws  and not coincidences thereby  discards the unnecessary anxieties in trying to force outcomes…

After all we are both the drop of water and the ocean itself.

So if every thought word and deed creates ripples in the vast ocean of your life, what is the nature of the wave you are setting in motion right now?
