Meet not force with force.
It is futile and destructive.
Meet force with fluidity and flexibility,
In quiet perseverance.
In adaptability than rigidity.
For even brute force buckles in time.

Our type?
Who is our type?
Why does our brain become immediately choosy, including some as ours and excluding some as others?
What makes some our type?
When we meet and connect with a new face, what is it that immediately draws or repels?
Is there more to it, than first impressions, communication skills or body language?
Does our brain genetically program itself to select on auto pilot?
For we often classify and categorize subconsciously as a way of choices we make.
Who is our tribe?
Who is outside ?
We are hardwired
With the safety metric.
Our mirror neurons simulate
emotional states of being
in others we meet.
When inner rhythm sense resonance
there is a instant vibe
aligning us in a circle of unsaid understanding.
Such pattern recognition is primitive,
a tool for survival
for flagging safe and unsafe connection.
A lot happens in a split second …
A combination of sorting
Processing the past connects
Sensing and interpreting
Gut feeling & intuition
Simplifying complex somatic movements markers.
In recognizing the effortless ease and comfort
Or the discord that creates repulsion.
Categorizing a stranger
Is a matter of survival…
Would u agree?

Wheel of life
Today I came across one of my favorites from my mothers artworks and poetry.I felt like sharing…
Wheel of Life
The wheel of life moves on,
The path is never the same.
Smooth and pleasant,
Or rugged and rough
It never stops.
Our likes and dislikes
Can never hold it back;
For destiny chooses the path,
And diversions intersect
Along the way.
If wisdom prevails,
Every choice becomes right,
And the journey
Is filled with light.
The path is endless.
When it will end,
We are clueless.
So,
Make the journey meaningful.
Make every step count.
For change is eternal,
And the wheel
Must move on.

Heart speaks …
I enjoy simplifying complexity
For I do believe simplicity
Is just complexity turned upside down
And perhaps knotted and twisted at times.
All it needs is an untangling.
In thoughts words and deeds.
While the mind may play games
Simply speaking from the heart
Seeing with the heart
Feeling the sensations that emnate from the heart
Will release the unnecessary knots
And create a path of clarity.

What a difference a day can make…
From the darkness of night
Emerges the light of dawn.
From the brink of despair
Rises a ray of hope.
When all feels lost in a maze
A way out appears somehow
When doubts creeps in the cracks
Trust opens the heart in faith
When you realise how much can be at stake
You value the gift of another day.
What a difference a day can make…

Strength of tenderness
Being tender in the toughest of times
Being gentle and generous with the self
In times of chaos and conflicts
In and around us
Is the way of weathering-the-storms.
Being caring and compassionate
In thoughts words and deeds.
With empathy that empowers
In light and goodwill.
Is the way of gentle heart
Flowing in loving kindness.
Flowing with life lovingly
Everything is in this now
Who am I in this now,
Matters more than ever before
For tomorow that is yet to arrive.
Instead of mulling over
Uncertainties of life
Disappointments & falls
Rise in this moment.
Ask the self
Who am I in this now?
Whatever and however this moment presents…
Am I able to look at what is?
Meet it with composure?
What are my kind of choices ?
Am I reacting or responding
In this now of my life?
Perhaps in this vulnerable space
With the truths of my being,
I sense myself growing
From and out of every experience.
That teaches me to listen
Allowing me to flow with life
Making sense, along the way.
Knowing in my heart
That I am not a stagnant pond
Nor a stone refusing to roll.
For rolling stones gather no moss
I flow with lightness
Living life lovingly.

When compassion radiates…
Conscious compassionate thoughts within become embedded in the core structure of the being, and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength.”

A night to remember…
A moonlit night
The beach glows bright
Silvery waves, sugary white
As the last of the seagulls take flight
Evening dusk shadows the skylight.
To behold, what a sight
To remember, what a night.

💙
In retrospect…
Chase not, the shiniest
For it often lose their sheen
Choose consistency over hype
It makes a mark in time.
What shines today
May become dull tommorow
What perseveres every day
May turn reliable in the long run .
Chase not, the loudest proclaims
It often ends up as a whimper
Choose the steadiness of approach
That often becomes substantial.
Chase not, the charmer
They often turn out fake.
To smile without heartbreak
Choose the one with humor…
And keep humor alive in your heart…

A place that’s inviting called WordPress.
An inclusive space for creative minded souls
So meet we will, right here
In this wordy writing space
Time and time again
You and me
Sharing words
Heartfully…

Spirit of Humans
Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world
Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles
For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…
For others it may be personal
And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.
Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.

Just another tree?
Roads of Goa
Don’t know you
How you live and breathe
In these nondescript pathway.
Yet here you are
Vividly present
Colouring the blue sky
With blossoms of contrasts.
Mature trunk and verdant leaves
You strike a pose
You hold a stance
In your unique way.
I see you dear tree
Grateful for your being
For you nurtured many lives
Seen many a solar cycles.
I bless you with all my heart
For healing this world…
For the world may be
You are just another tree
For me you live vibrantly
Evergreen in my memories.
A sight to behold
A vision to thank
In recognition and gratitude
For your impactful presence🙏
A trip down memory lane.
An unexpected yet beautiful burst of colour contrasting the bright blue sky prompted me to click a photo in a split second, enroute a road trip to Goa a few years ago…
P.S.
Sharing some amazing facts about the positive ecological impacts from one fully mature tree, that I came across.
Key Environmental & Ecological Impacts
- Natural Climate Control: Through evapotranspiration and shade, one healthy mature tree provides a net cooling effect equal to 10 room-sized air conditioners running 20 hours a day. This can lower local microclimate temperatures by up to 3°F–5°F.
- Carbon Vault: A single tree absorbs roughly 48 pounds (22 kg) of CO₂ per year. Over a 40-year lifespan, it locks away nearly 1 metric ton of atmospheric carbon in its trunk, roots, and surrounding soil.
- Oxygen Generation: One fully grown, leafy tree generates enough net oxygen per year to sustain 2 to 4 human beings.
- Hydrological Shield: A single mature canopy can intercept and soak up 2,300 gallons of stormwater runoff per year. Its root network stabilizes topsoil against erosion while filtering heavy metals and synthetic pollutants before water enters local aquifers.
- Air Filtration: Leaves and bark actively trap particulate matter (PM2.5) while absorbing gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, and sulfur dioxide—removing dozens of pounds of air pollutants annually.
- Biodiversity Anchor: A single native tree (such as an oak) can support over 500 distinct species of insects, birds, mosses, and beneficial microorganisms, functioning as a self-contained ecosystem.
That I am fond of trees is nothing new… I have written many verses on trees before as well, yet in here I share a message close to my heart…
Nurture nature Nurture trees.
You are doing an important service to help support self sustaining powerhouse of oxygen to our planet.

Beauty of impermenance
Today, I came across a beautiful Japanese word called ‘Komorebi’ that depicts…the beauty of light filtering in through the leaves. And I see this picture, that I had saved, somehow seems to fit right in…
Beauty of impermenance
Every ray of light
In these leaves …
Can never be replicated
To exact moments.
Yet there is stillness
In its fleeting moment
In simple appreciation,
And heartfelt acknowledging
Of the beauty of impermenance.
