Glimmers of light
Sparking through thoughts
Colours of hope
Emerging through the words
Balancing the energy
Within and around
Connecting in communion
Between and betwixt
Infinite is the potential of light
That shines inside outside
Savvy
Do read Inside Outside part 1
Today I thank in gratitude
The power of the mind
The heart and the spirit
Our body is blessed
With many gifts of the soul
Which we are yet discovering
The strength of intentions
The power of intuition
Of conscious awareness
In practice of mindfulness
Of possibilities in our potential
In the movements of stillness
In the stillness of moves
In the silence of meditation
All, in this journey within
Betwixt inside outside & beyond…
Savvy
Keep your heart grateful
Keep your mind thankful
Keep your spirit humble
It will strengthen the foundation
Of many virtues of being human
Like love, trust and faith
Courage and contentment
Health, happiness and joy
Creating a blessed life

Poignant truths to remember for all leaders
You are human and not a machine and so is your team.
You are here to lead, not here to be liked by all.
You will also make mistakes, and that is how you learn
You will adapt as you cannot control everything, some things are unavoidable and sooner you acknowledge it the better.
You will be challenged by a few in inexplicable ways , but these experiences will empower you.
Your teams will outgrow you in time, even if you have invested your all in them .
You will learn how to sustain in the letting go , that is the way of evolving with change.
And most of all the higher you climb the lonelier you will feel.
Be prepared to manage it.
Trust trees to teach us
The lessons in living life
In adaptation to change
In flexibility & resilience
In sustaining for the future
In giving, sharing & letting go
Knowing the significance
Of bonds and boundaries
In networking and communication
Of perseverance in bearing fruits
To trust and wait in patience
And so much more…
Above all in faith, hope & self belief
To grow from a seed to a tree.

Head to toe
Toe to head
Breathe it out
Let it go..
Heal overwhelm
Heal overthinking
Heal your heart
Heal yourself
In the mixed bag of lides emotions
Some get felt a little too deeply
Embedding itself into the psyche.
And affecting thoughts & actions
Emotions too need release
Unshackle to let go and free up
Cut the cord of emotions
Before they overwhelm you.
Find some time to breathe it out
To process and reflect & let go
To exhale the unwanted emotions.
And heal your heart .

My good friend @Geoff Hudson Searle posed and shared an interesting question.’Are we entering a new age of Wisdom?
‘A new age of wisdom ‘ is a fascinating topic to ponder on…
Wisdom continues to evolve
As change is the only constant
Knowing is never enough
Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.
Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.
Speaking of AI, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.
Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.
The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.
What are your thoughts on this?
Perfection is never the inspiration for nothing is perfect always.
Acknowledging ones imperfections & managing it with grace is true inspiration.
The need for perfection creates undue pressure. Being able to work on the journey without undue pressure can be joyful journey.
What are your thoughts?

Pride makes us artificial
Humility makes us real
Thomas Merton
So a long long time ago when I started sharing my writing skills, I received a beautiful message from a reader, who also introduced Thomas Merton, the poet & monk to me. I was intrigued by his words. And went on to read more. For back then I didn’t know who Thomas Merton was and had never heard or come across his works.
This morning I came across the above quote, another gem of a quote from the mystical light of this soul…
There are some souls whose works strike a deep chord without ever meeting them… you sense a connection in their words..
I am grateful in all humility to have come across the profoundness of these kindred spirits. 🙏
If a day could be wrapped in a minute
If a year could be tucked in a season
Life would happen too fast
With no time to simply be
Life would be one rushed affair
Wish nothing in a hurry
Let the days be, to dare
Let the nights be to rest anew
Let the flowers bloom in hope
And let the leaves rustle in the wind
Let the seasons come by
All in good time
For you and for me.

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.
Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.
While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.
Thought of sharing my verses again.
Travel On
If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

Calm eyes and ears
Resting and recovering
From relentless chaos
Blowing in the wind.
Seeing only a trickle
Of light and sounds
Of nature in harmony
To energize in hope
Once more.

Acknowledge…
Betwixt and between
The you & I,
The us and the we,
Is a ocean of multiverses.
A tapestry of metaverses Springing into existence
Creating connection
Beyond compare
Ingenious innovation
Reaching beyond the known
Forging ahead dimensions
Unfolding technology
With palpable sensations
Creating new possibilities
Exploring potential
Understanding elements
Of space, time and distance
Challenging norms
Quantifying needs & wants
Finding solutions
In a changing world
Simplifying complexities
In the realms of life & living.
Yet as this booming bubbles
Is it a catalyst of changes?
Some sensational and brilliant
Some scary & confounding.
Simply know it’s on its way
And is here to stay
As our world will redefine
Life beyond existence…
Accept…
There is bound to be a boom
Colloidal chaos & confusion
In chasing an unreal world
And finding hope to live on
In the very illusions in making.
Know…
Every thing life appears now
Is a momentary phenomenon.
Of perceptions that deliver
The solutions for life in the soul.
