Magic of Christmas
Christmas Memories
Vibrant hues of Christmas Colors in all its vividity!
Joyful Christmas Memories indeed! Sharing the cheer and goodwill…
The Antwerpen Christmas Market is spread out over several streets and squares lighting up the entire historical centre of Antwerp beautifully into a huge and happening zone to stroll around in…Glowing in the night!
Beating the winters chill
Sitting by warm fire pits…
Sipping hot glühwein!And the mistletoe?
Well its no small branch
But a giant one indeed!
Fit for all the crowd that gather under
Just to share the Christmas cheer!

A Grateful Heart
Its good to never let the things you want ,
Make you forget the things you have.
How about Practicing Gratitude as a way of being.
Making it a daily habit and a part of life and living.🙏

Power of Ripples
A ripple of kindness goes a long long way….
One little movement from the heart
One tiny step to help
One single act in compassion
One bit of genuine care
Have the propensity to travel far
And influence many to kind deeds.
That await for a sign somewhere
Remember the power of the ripples.

The Paradox of Awareness
Awareness is unique in each of us.
In awareness, there is an expansion
Of horizons of understanding
Of potential possibilities.
Yet, awareness is also about subtlety
Of understanding and of approach,
Of what is beyond bounds.
An ability to keenly discern
What is better left unsaid.
Paradoxical truth of awareness —
Awareness is both the reason
For the light of wisdom
And the despair of knowing.
Awareness raises the bar
Of comprehension by nature.
What’s important is not tilting
The balance by one’s own doing
When awareness makes us most vulnerable
To commit the very error
That we may learn to steer away from.
Such is the paradox of awareness.

All of you!
Your strength…
With all your mind ,
With all of your heart
With all of your might
Clearly will create
A new reality.
An achievement
Of realizing your dreams
In actuality.
Make it happen
With all of you!
Savvy
You decide.
Living well is a choice you make!
Live vibrantly without uncertainty
Take the step to make a choice
With all your heart and mind.
If you don’t take your decisions
Some one else will.
Better you make it a point
To trust your decisions
And keep the faith.
More you will live without fear
Its your life after all!
Begin to love life.
And live life lovingly!

Imprints
Every thought
Every word
Every deed
Has potential
To impact consciousness
To shift and alter lives
There is an imprint somewhere
That creates a change
Within us and around us.
All is a matter
Of awareness of the imprints.

Healing thoughts
Dances of the world : Argentine Tango
Dancing is the ultimate art of expression of the spirit of life. Every part of the world has a unique set of dances that set it apart yet find some similarities somewhere. And that’s what is the strength of the creative art of movements, in the interconnects of community, culture , history, traditions as well as a reflection of the expression of changing times in the Dance Connection, and that is what beautiful about ‘Dance’ itself.
On the occasion of International Tango Day on 11 th December…
As a Celebration of Tango Dancers across the world …Sharing a few verses on Tango with a beautiful Tango Watch “Andrea Vighi y Chiara Benati – Milonga para as Missoes”
Tango
Born in the dark alleys of Argentina
The stark truth emerges of murky beginnings in the 18th century
Frequented mostly by slaves, immigrants in the ports of Buneos Aires and even Uruguay.
There were even bans on many of these tango musical gatherings.
The dance form began with countless influences of European and native culture.
Watch
Argentine Tango is both energetic and enigmatic
It has the strength and soul to show.
Equally exotic and evocative
Intriguing and beguiling
The lead and follow is beyond genders
For connection is beyond the physicality
For beside the passion play plain to see,
There is something quite alluring & attractive in the movements.
Two people apparently moving as one
The footwork entices and enthralls
The feet move with a mind all their own
But articulating a drama through the feet.
Watch
Slow, steady or sharp and staccato movements
Each pair of feet, teasing the other
Challenging into a seemingly deadly duel of the feet.
Hitting all the right notes
Never missing a beat
Never stepping unto another
Except for a flip a dip or a show stopping lift thrown in.
If you want to see the drama of life and living,
Watch the synergy of energy playing
In a soulful yet spirited tango of two dancers.
There is rivetting romance,
Yet strikingly serious and sombre in notion.
Depths of emotion & unbridled passion
Emanating in an artistry of motion.
Today there are so many versions of the Tango
Off shoots and diverse cultural interpretations.
That created new interpretations of the way the dance is danced.
In hold, in form, in stance and in steps. That it’s almost untraceable.
Tango today is alluring as ever with dark days remaining just a history.
Yet retaining the mystery and appeal, Captivating with its intensity.
The connects so rooted in the embrace and hold, that makes the fancy footwork so effortless.
Tango truly speaks eloquently more than ever before…

Keep the faith!
Every moment can bring
Its own share of challenges
Sometimes in situations beyond hope.
And you are left with decisions to make.
When unfairness is met
With hope and faith
Life turns around
Yes everyone is challenged
In one way or another
But the wisdom in the challenge
Is to use these challenges
As stepping stones
To your success.
Life is changing
Every minute
Life is never the same
Its ok to wait and lie a little low
You need to trust nature
To move and shift things
What was lost is gained again
What was your deepest pain
Becomes a point of pleasure
Change is the only constant
My friend
Move beyond these limitations
Of this now
There is so much more to envision
So much more to accomplish.
Life is meant to flow!

Smile & the world smiles…
I particularly liked this quote I came across recently…
“Smile more than you cry, Give more than you take, and Love more than you Hate.”
– Drake
A beautiful way to be! Nicely summarized.
Will simply add…
In Laughter you nourish yourself
In Generosity you replenish your world .
In love you nurture, nature in and around you!

Tree talks
I am always fascinated by nature, especially trees … every tree speaks to us and conveys much beyond its beauty there is much to understand from its shape texture and form.
I find its lessons, often very poignant yet alluring and very inspiring as well.
If you love nature and trees may be you will like this …
Here is an interesting link I came across your birth tree
Looks like my birth tree is closer to the Rowan trees which are known to be the Trees of life 🌳 & the Ash Trees symbolic of spiritual strength as much as longevity and endurance.
Fascinating indeed to learn about the Celtic symbolic representation & personality interpretation of trees.

Regeneration
Regeneration
One of the wonders of creation
An assurance of abundance
Sign of the generosity of nature
Of the power of perseverance.
To embed and emerge
Against all odds
The seeds of creation
Are strewn far and wide
To be nourished and evolved
In hope for the morrow.
As the seasons change
Life faces the brunt of many storms
What was once fresh and green
Becomes withered yet wise
While time and tide waits for none.
As experience of living
Leaves many lessons behind
Life moves on charting its course
Learning from the wisdom
Embedded along the way.
Rooting itself into the abyss of fear
To springing forth like a Phoenix
To transform and transcend
The limitations of illusionary
And reach beyond knowing.
So do these lessons sow
Many seeds of thoughts in the mind
That reap rich harvests
In the fields of time.
A kind share a good deed
An appreciative word
A helping nature
Regenerates in the goodwill
Emerging through the ashes
To birth itself in evolutionary plan.

Nurture Your Passion
Will share something today,that I have been practicing every day for many years now… it has made me a happier person.
Care to spend at least an hour or two a week to pursue your interest or passions.
The emptiness left by not pursuing it distracts more time out of you than pursuing it for a couple of hours a week.
And in time not only do others see you feel more at ease when you are with them; there will also be something wonderful to look forward for yourself!
