The wall of the mind
Is in each of us to forge through…
In valuing the space between
Two thoughts, two steps or two notes.
In choosing harmony of synchrony
In conscious awareness
In discerning thoughts & associations.
In response than reaction
In connecting the dots.
In realizing the grace of unity.
All is in sensing the strength
Of the circle of conscious connections.

Poetry is a brilliant trickster
As much a true friend
For it masks the truth cleverly in words
As much as it heals away in the expressions.
In the letting go of dense emotions
Is the channeling towards balance
To the lightness of being
Where there is space created
In between thoughts and actions
For more cathartic connections.
Poetry revives the spirit of the soul
Through soulful words that flow
Out of nowhere explicable
For it has a purpose of its own
In trust know, that it finds itself
The path its meant to be.
Be it poetry or prose, fiction or non fiction, words can be the gamechanger.
How many of you writers agree?

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.
The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.
Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.
I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.
Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

The seed looked up
At the mighty tree in awe
Wondering how it will grow to thrive
And how it will survive in time.
The tree rustled its leaves
In the gentle breeze
Sharing the tender touch
Of the nurturing wind
As if to remind the little seed…
Every mighty tree around
Was once a tiny seed
Blowing in the very same wind
That grew through the seasons
Weathering life’s storms
Learning how to bend and not break
So that it could grow one day
To its fullest potential
Testimony to the power of a planted seed.
Every tree is rooted with a message
Never underestimate the power within
Keep the faith and trust yourself!

Movements matter
For the body never lies
Whether you move
with your thoughts,
words or body.
It conveys the truth of you
In more ways than you know
Movements are unique to us
For they are imprints of life
The body never lies they say
Our movements convey the truth of our soul.
As words flow…
Writing reveals much about the writer
In the words said and unsaid
In the way the writer begins
& ends
In the choice of words itself…
But all said and done all writing, all creative arts can be cathartic experiences. The healing happens in the expression, in the letting go…
I write at leisure to relax and enjoy writing. It heals me. Perhaps if I am pressured to write I may not be feeling this way.
What are your thoughts on writing?
How has your writing helped you?

Sharing some stark truths of life that came my way on social media
Four Stages of Elimination in Life:
At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you’ll return to being an ordinary person. So, don’t cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!
At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don’t say, “I used to be…” or “I was once…” because the younger generation won’t know you, and you mustn’t feel uncomfortable about it!
At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you’ll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it’s an expression of affection, so don’t blame them for coming less often, as they’re busy with their own lives!
At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don’t be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!
Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live life to the fullest! Eat what you want, drink what you desire, play and do the things you love.
Inspiration for Intention
Beneath the orange sun
I see rays of possibilities
Clearly forming patterns
That speak to me to draw
Out the truth of my soul.
Beneath the nurturing tree
I witness the quiet calm
Feel the gentle breeze,
Am hearing the buzzing bee
And the rhythm of my beating heart…
Beneath the golden moon
I sense the vividity of my heart
Of love that bonds boundlessly
As gleams of hope shines forth
Evoking abundance in my soul.
Beneath the infinite sky
I am open to receive
All the good that is,
And cross paths with it today
I choose to live with intention.
Savvy
Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows
Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why
And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.
Savvy
All That You Seek Around You Already Have Within You
All the knowing
That you may need
You have enough
Seek your truth
Around and within
You are enough
Already all is within you
Have trust hope and faith
Within you all is awaiting
You to know, You.
Savvy
Love is strange
Love pulls you in opposing ends
Love makes you feel happy
In one moment and sad in another
Love alters your life
Love is a beautiful blessing
Sometimes way too complex
Most times really simple.
Yet a challenge to sustain
Love changes many colours
But love colours life
Life cannot thrive without love.
As life has no meaning without love.
But first you need to love yourself
Before you begin to love another
Live life lovingly!
Savvy
Be open to receive.
Sharing a Tamil story translation by my mother Anjana.
I found this piece written by her today morning and shared as I felt many times we are ourselves in the way of our blessings. There is so much abundance, we are yet not ready to hear, take, care to see, that we miss partaking the joy of having them, often because our own ignorance, ego or lack of awareness comes in the way. All the abundance mean nothing if we are not ready to receive it.
Let’s be open ready to receive…
It was raining heavily. Grand mother was sitting in the verandah and her little granddaughter was playing nearby… So the grandmother told her granddaughter so much water is going waste,so keep a big vessel to fill clean water.
The girl who was playing refused to listen. So the grandmother noticed it and said sternly, Is just keeping the big vessel in the rain a big job? Go and keep it in the open. Grandma ordered. The girl went with half mind.
After some time when it stopped raining, Grandma got up to happily bring the vessel full of water.
She was shocked to see ,not a drop of water was collected.
The girl has kept the vessel upside down , just as it was kept inside!
Of course there was plenty of rain, but the vessel was not ready to collect a single drop.
Same like the Universe is filled with Divine blessings. But our hearts are not open to receive it. If we are ready with open heart the Cosmic Abundance will be in harmony with us.

Be all that you can
To become all that you want
Becoming what you want to be
Is a journey in time
Of highs and lows
To become is to envision
To intend consistently
The very same vision day in and out
To persevere time and time again
Without losing sight of your intent
To be passionate about what you are
To have patience in waiting
As you inch closer and closer
To become what you want to be.
And trust, what you are meant to be
Will always find a way!
Savvy
Yesterday night a quote caught my eye…
Continue readingYou will continue to suffer if you
Warren Buffet
have an emotional reaction to
everything that is said to you
True power is sitting back and
observing things with logic. True
power is restraint. If words
control you that means everyone
else can control you. Breathe
and allow things to pass
Just a quick question…
How many of you writers, have felt people equating your creative writing with your life?
As a writer I do know that creativity comes up in the most unexpected moments. It may have or not at all have anything to your own experiences. Much of the creative process can happen in attention to details as a keen observer, in witness mode , in associations of thoughts and feelings and in sensing emotions in empathy, concern or care, that may have or not have any personal connotations.
Writing is the freedom of expression in flights of imagination, its a beautiful art and that is free for interpretation once it has been published. For the writer has chosen to let it go…
How it came to be, is a mystery sometimes to the Author too😉
Savvy
Read as you please…
For I choose to let it go.
What I wrote yesterday
And what I write today
Depends on what inspired
Between the then and now.
Often as a writer
If I take a stand
And my words
Are strong enough
To impact another
In more ways than one…
Simply know I write
With all my heart and soul
And trust myself, to let it go
To make space in me
For more to explore and discover.
As any poet will,
I witness and listen
To each moment
As it plays out
And I sense and feel
When I think and write…
Choose not to see me
In these words,
What I will write about next
Is mystery to me too…
For as any creative artist
I may choose to make words dance
For me and for you..
Different dances
For different days
Some light and breezy
Some deep and intense.
Sometimes words emerge
Out of nowhere
To self arrange themselves
All I do is follow the flow…
Sometimes these words strike
A chord deep in you and me
And that is where the words
Find their purpose to be.
Words are mere words
Feelings make all the difference
And feelings differ day to day…
So read my words, as you please
For I choose to let it go.
