As light dawns
It dispels darkness
Spreads hope & cheer
Bringing joy & happiness
To all touched by this light.
As the waves of light
Transmit itself in the world
Hearts heal and life regenerate
For light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light of you.

The same heart that loves
Hurts some day
The same heart that hurts
Heals some day
The heart is extremely versatile
Capable of being adaptable
Beyond our fears and doubts
Capable of love and hate
And all the shades in between.
From going green with envy
To blossoming like red roses…
Heart beats on its own tune
Take care of the heart
Feed it well
Stay happy and healthy
In good faith and trust.
For life is in the heartbeat.
Savvy
And sometimes when things don’t go as planned
May be you have been saved from some unknown obstacle
May be it wasn’t the right time
May be its all for the better.

‘Write Drunk
Edit Sober.”
Attributed to Hemingway this line is a little gem in itself .
Here is my take…
As a writer give in
To flights of fancy
Give in to the dance
Of Imagination.
Be drunk with joy
Of writing with all of you.
Enjoy the immersion
Embody your uniqueness
And flow with the words .
Sense the delights in disarray
Just write on…
As you edit
Stay sober
Be attentive
Be mindful
And aware.
And patient
With yourself.
Most of all
Be here in the now.
Savvy
Ps :I write for joy… so have always enjoyed writing in a flow though never drunk , I confess I have enjoyed the waltz with words as it flows often on. And yet I also know I have a lots to learn about editing. It’s still a work in progress.
What are your thoughts on this ?
Savvy
Swimming in a sea of words
Riding on waves of thought
Rowing with the oar of faith
Sailing on a ship of trust
Flowing along the ocean of time…
I am grateful for the blessings
Of words that fill my heart
Thankful for the creative thoughts
In the receiving I share
In the sharing I receive
And so it flows…
Savvy
To live and learn
To sense and share
To dream and care
To act and respond
To transform and transcend
Such is the nature of life and living.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind?
Is it the nature of the land?
Do you sense the sandstorm?
Do you see the vivid colours of the womens clothes juxtaposed against the barren land?
Do you see them huddle together taking refuge with no where to go?
This picture evokes emotions.
The wind, the women
Heads to toe covered
Yet braving the sun barefoot
The sand across the land
The parched dry pots.
What else do you see?

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.

On Coaches & Coaching
At times just when a coach knows it’s progress the client wants to give up.
They may feel the changes are not enough or there may be other personal factors that may be inhibiting their success. It is important to acknowledge their emotions at the moment and celebrate small wins precisely showing how far they have come. As a coach being empathic & encouraging while being flexible and adaptable as you adjust strategies for the way forward aids and facilitates progress.
Often clients face doubt and overwhelm at some point or the other. It is important then to remind them of their why and guide them to stay on course.
Your thoughts are welcome.

You awaken
When you are ready to release
That which holds you back.
In acknowledging
Is the allowing
Of new possibilities
And sense the light within.
Every once in a while
It’s good to unshackle
Simply ask your self
What am I holding back?

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 below years ago. I had no idea about who Julia Hill was back then. And today I was reminded of my poem, when I came across her story. She is an American Activist who saved Luna the redwood tree by living in it to prevent loggers from cutting off the tree and refusing to backdown.
Today I dedicate this very poem to her and the likes of her and their unwavering spirit to save trees.
The Lady on the Tree.
In the centre of placid calm stands an angel of hope and resilience.
She has birds of hope surrounding her haloed presence.
Be like the lady on the tree.
In the stillness of the water… sensing your spirit feel so free,
Climb the tree in the serenity of the calm and unwind.
Bring composure to the cursory mind.
Move away from the mundane.
And feel more humane.
See the birds dancing by your side,
Singing their sweet songs of hope that will always reside!
Tread gently and softly move
In your journey as you find your groove.
Climb that tree and rest awhile.
Witness the water silently settle.
Renew your spirit and discover your mettle.
Delve in the solitude, seeking the clarity in the calm, unbound
As in still waters run deep, the wisdom profound.

Nature speaks in the most creative yet simplest of ways…
The wisdom for a lifetime
Bloom from wherever you are.
