10 thoughts on life

1) When the axe came to the forest, the trees said the handle was one of us. Until they felt its cuts:. BETRAYAL IS within.

2) When a kid grows up, a pencil is replaced by a pen just to make the kid realize that now it is not easy to erase the mistake.

3) One day, the ground we walk on will be our roof.

4) If loyalty was real, water is not supposed to cook the fish.

5) How I wish RIP means Return If Possible.

6) One sad truth about life is that you may not even be part of the future you’re stressed about.

7)The sheep lived all her life, fearing the wolf, but it was the shepherd that finally ate it.

8) When we were kids, we cried loudly to be noticed. But now we cry silently because we don’t want anyone to know.

9) Just because you’re a good person, doesn’t mean the world owes you kindness.

10) When the blind man sees, he throws away the stick that has been helping him for years.

Undeniable 10 life thoughts that I came across on social media I felt like sharing…

Map in my veins

The map in my veins

Lead to those unknown paths

Across the world

To places and spaces

I was  meant to go

To connect with those

I was to meet

Its all ordained  I can tell

Now as I look back

Each relevant to whole

Emerging & merging

In this story of life

The pen with words I weild now

Yields through as witness 

To learnings  and experiences

Leaving an imprint

In the footprints of time.

Lanterns in the fog

Photo by Rakicevic Nenad on Pexels.com

As the fog gets intensive 

And the mood pensive

Visibility dips to nothingness

All you feel is aloneness

At that point of break

When doubts creep in wake

You hear footsteps near

An assurance beyond fear

Seeing lanterns in the fog, aglow

You sense hope in the flow.

APPRECIATION

Teach children to be open to new perspectives, nurture in them the ability to appreciate, it not only transforms them but also the way they interact in the world.

Potential for peace

Are you feeling the rage

Of a war within you

Is there a fire flaming through your veins

Is your heart thumping beyond your control

Are your thoughts so muddled that you just can’t think straight?

Well my friend, trust that this too shall pass

For your anger is self made from the agony

Of living life with frustration.

All you need is to acknowledge  time as your best friend

For it shows you a new way in time

From reaction to response

But do you want to be responsible

For your self harm or healing ?

For your anger is destroying you.

Think about what ways you can flip the script you are telling yourself.

For its your thoughts and feelings that fuel your emotions, time and time again.

If your heart is hurt remember to think and align your heart with your mind.

If your thoughts are the reason and that anger is bubbling up your brain, know your heart is far expansive  that you know, feel from your heart the love and forgiveness that stems from it. And align your thinking mind with the emotions of unconditional loving heart .

If both your heart and brain are a fire ball of fury then too you have the wisdom of your body. Train your body to move and realign yourself to help you step out of this phase.

Remember the potential for peace rests with you always.

It’s just a matter of acknowledging it. And bringing it into practice in response than reaction.

Peace is within you

Your infinite potential always included the peace that you actually are.

When the world feels safe enough

I wonder

When the world  will feel safe enough…

To trust the day that is unfolding

To be assured there will be peace

To feel secure, wherever we are

Till then let’s keep breathing

And being present in the breath

And in hope all is well.

Weathering the storms

Wither not yourself away

Weathering the storms

Every life finds itself

In the whirlpool of chaos.

And often unfortunately so.

Pick yourself up

Dust away the doubts

Don your best attitude

And look ahead

At a not so distant time

And trust in yourself

For storms precede the calm.

 

Sense the strength of spirit

Moving towards your purpose

Know every storm has one

Find yourself on your way

To fulfilling your soul purpose.

May be another day

A life can be lived forward

And in every moment, easier

If there is less regret

And more acceptance.

It makes living life worth it .

For if you keep looking back

Revisiting memories

A little too often

You will perhaps also sense

The number of times 

You didn’t do what you wanted

Saying maybe another day.

Reality is in realizing

This moment now…

Holds all you choose 

To make of it. 

It’s all embedded in it

Embody it in present

Live not in fear and worry

Seek comfort in past if you wish

But don’t dwell in it too long

Let the past be ,

For even if you want 

You cannot hold the hands

Of times gone by ..

Time ticks on

So move with time.

Acknowledge it &  regret less.

What is happiness to you?

Happiness is sensed 

In the moments

Loving myself  to be

To being, all that I can be

Allowing the self to enjoy

The life in the moments

Can be happiness to me.

I read this meaningful quote I share below…

‘Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is’.

Mandy Hale

What is happiness to you?

Valley of Reactivity

Between & betwixt  spaces

Of pause and activity

 In the thinking and doing

Overcome the challenges

Of the conflicts of being.

Move on from valleys of reactions

From impulsive actions

That stems from assumptions

Reach out in responsiveness

Being positively intentional

Leading to clarity

In the deeper listening.

Smiles from the heart

Being a happy person

I have tided over

The challenges with a smile

Grateful for the dance in my life

I draw energy from movements

As they appear to move me

I unwind and unfurl

My hearts deepest feelings

In the flow of the moves

I sense the beauty of this now.

And I smile from the heart.

As it flows

It’s no surprise

Words flow as I write

As if awaiting me to simply begin

It’s a natural way

That I express my emotions

Through verses in the flow

All at once as if in a rush

In one sitting

And I don’t rearrange it

I chose not to change it

For it is my truth

As it came to me.

As it’s meant to be.

Poetry  is personal

Raw poetry is a piece of  ones soul

Too many edits to perfect it

And you have something

That somehow loses track

Of its own purpose.

Weight of love

Love can be light

Love can be heavy

Such is the weight of love.

In one moment

Love spreads love

Love shares hope

In another moment

Love fills us with despair

Such is the irony

Of the weight of love.

And yet love is the way

For all of us…

Live life lovingly…

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

Seeding Wisdom

The seed bears wisdom untold

From humble beginnings

Emerges immense possibilities

What seems a non starter

Can be a gamechanger.

And yet…

Growth has many phases

In the course of its life

Through the ups & downs

The chaos gives way to clarity

From the immature to maturity

The tree stands tall

Embracing the changes .

The seed to a tree

Teaches the wisdom of patience,

As it bears fruits in time.
