A feather 🪶
Soft and gentle
Strewn on my path
Whispered it’s truth
As I chanced upon it
Pointing the path
‘This is the way
Keep walking…
There is always something more
In the randomness of things
Like a little feather on your path
Is a gentle reminder
That you are not alone
There is always a guidance
There is always hope
There is always a way…

So much wisdom
Within each life
In each of its cell
That a life time
Is not enough
To make sense of it all.
Body mind & soul
Interweaves itself
Beyond limits of understanding
To connect and guide
Life to its own purpose of being.
If this is not divinity at play
I wonder what is?
Savvy
True courage
Is often misunderstood
Often misrepresented
Often misquoted
True courage
Is in being present
Enough and vulnerable
To dare to live through
In times when hope feels feeble.
To show up, no matter what
Storm or not
Courage dares to be.

On this boat of love
The water becomes gentle
In moving mid stream
The currents of life
Are seemingly rapid
Yet on this boat of love
Life is lovingly lived…
In every passing moment
There is a sign of hope
Clearing the fog, off the way
Lighting up the way with clarity.
P.S Enjoyed penning this poem on the ‘Boat of love ‘
I searched for a suitable pic but then felt this picture I had saved years ago is apt.
The image credit goes to that Anonymous person who created this beautiful picture.

If we are alive
We have stories to tell
They are worth listening to
Worth sharing with another
Worth learning from another
Life is,what we make of it.
And our stories often create pathways
Of thoughts and action for ourselves
And through another life
Perhaps that’s why we need to share
To express the truths of our being
As for our stories of life and living
Of overcoming obstacles
Of surviving the odds
They may become a guide and toolkit
In maneuvering life in the steering
Leading into the path of clarity.
Savvy
When life feels too confusing
When efforts seem meaningless
When all feels overwhelming
Simply trust and know you are closer
To the path of clarity.
Sharing a few perspectives
On course correction.
And what we as humans can do…
Shifting from pain to purpose
Seeing experiences as learning
Knowing troubles are teaching
Imbibing these lessons as wisdom.
To live life even more lovingly
Sensing the sparking of joy
That ordinary moments hold.
Savvy
It all started with a conversation with one of my dance students of many years. She was going through some life changing challenges. And she poured her heart out.
This episode is inspired from that heartful conversation, I had with her on the many varied situations that confront us all and some perspectives I shared, on managing the self through the challenges.

We all want peace
At all times
But is that peace
If it creates war.
Can war create peace
What peace is peace
That destroys another.
True peace is in ease of being
Peace that flows through
In and around us
That is already within each of us
Awaiting our acknowledgement
To connect and embody
So let’s align with our inner peace
And let the heart share this peace
With the world outside
In thoughts words & deeds l
Let peace be the way of being
It radiates and alters the energy around.

A little lake
Meets the river
The river meets the sea
The sea meets the ocean.
All in its own time
In its own way.
Think of the ocean
As an ocean of abundance
Likewise in this journey of life
All that which you seek
Finds and meets
In its own time
In its own way.
Live life lovingly
Trust and Believe
In the way of abundance..

I like the moments of morning calm
Before the world wakes up
I find the time for reflection in gratitude
For nature in and around me.
The night helps settle the density
Of racing thoughts in time.
Like water becomes clearer in stillness.
The calm and quiet of early dawn
Surfaces peace and clarity.
Mirroring the truth of the moments.
Emerging in the space of stillness.
As all the agitations drop as sediments
To repose the restless waters in calm
Realising the value of patience
Therein is the grace of effortless ease.
Savvy
In the lowest tide of life
Gather energies sincerely.
In the depth of silence
Delve into your own self.
Acknowledging your situation
Yes, in this space, exists
Solutions,answers and the pathway
To everything you need to know
And as it reveals itself, sense it all.
Feel the power of possibilities
And the infinite potential
In perseverance of purpose.
Savvy
On doing good
You do good
You go the right way
You speak the right language
You live righteously
You choose the right approach
You are kind and compassionate
You act with integrity
But life happens to you
Situations experiences
Circumstances and events
Through you into a maze
Of confusion and chaos
Just like any other
You are left wondering why
Why me, when I keep choosing the good?
Now that’s your turning point
The point of saturation
When light dawns on you.
Life is not transactional
It is transformational.

Music speaks
Tunes us from within
With melody,lyrics, beats
And through it all
Is the rhythm
That drives home
A strong rhythm
Makes itself felt
In every cell of being.
Speaking of strength of rhythm, many songs comes to mind but today the music I choose to share about is a spiritual one that immediately engages your attention and how… it will ground you as much as it makes you move in simply listening to it.
I am speaking about the Ganapathy Talam.
Here is a beautiful energetic rendition
You can listen to my full episode The Rhythm That Grounds You on my podcast Path of Clarity, it is a personal take on this magnetic piece of music.
And speaking of rhythm, do feel free share your favourite piece of rhythm as well.

Life is…
Resilient by nature
For it is the way of Nature
To survive the odds.
I captured this random picture of resilience standing tall and proud along the way in the form of a full grown tree. It was during one of my trips to coastal areas of India. The state of the trunk caught my attention.
Just a message of no matter what is taken away , there is always hope of growth on the anvil.
If we care to observe resilience imprints on every life , we will probably develop a deeper understanding of life in the living and learn to respect and nurture it.
Savvy
And fraying together
Like weary ropes wearing thin
Knots unravel and fall away
Setting us free
Shaping into wings
To soar again
And be all that we are…
