The Path of Clarity

Life takes us many paths

We walk many roads

We experience many bumps

We feel this too shall pass

And wait for the better.

But what if we realize

The bumps and boulders

That come in our path

Are the pathways for clarity

They are the kind of roads

We have to pass through

To become who we are.

Everything has a reason

Nothing is accidental

So next time you find

A bump on the path

Acknowledge the wisdom

That it brings along

In the path towards clarity.

If these lines resonate with you and you would like to listen to more such reflections on life’s subtle  wisdom and find meaning that  every day moments offer, feel free to tune in to my podcast The Path Of Clarity on Spotify.

It is a work in progress, yet I look forward  to reading your responses and learning more.

Art of the flow

A gentle reminder

Of flowing gracefully in resilience.

River flows

Beside and beyond

The rocks.

Body wisdom

Your energy is yours to protect

Shield it with love and forgiveness

Allow happy thoughts

Let go the unnecessary frictions

If you find yourself  too exhausted  by anothers energy

Too consumed in every interaction…

Where you feel depleted and worn out

May be it is time to move away  and balance your energy

Most of all listen to your body…

How do you feel after any interaction with someone

Energetic  or depleted

The signs are there for a reason

Choose your path well

Think well. Do well. Be well.

Spirit of Life

Truth is free

Mind controls.

Life is free to be

Living contains

And the spirit

Frees the soul.

In quiet perseverance

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.

Its all connected

The sun and moon

We see from afar

Have much to do with us

Influencing our way of life

Our nature and deeds 

Our dreams and destiny

Even the stars in the sky

In that moment we were born.

Time is a circle

And its truly wonderful to know

It’s all deeply connected.

Life has just begun

Crossed the midstream

The shore is a swim away

The body takes its toll

Yet the spirit is willing

To ride through 

And grace the shore.

On touching ground

The horizon beckons

Over the hills and dales

In the sands of time.

Trust your life

To unfold the way…

When you feel you are done 

Life has just begun.

P.S

I share my prompted artwork with Ai, here again, as I feel it somehow comes together and somehow makes perfect  sense with the verses.

Space

The concept of having space

Between things is a wisdom

A wisdom that creates  balance.

Between thoughts

Between words.

Between songs are silent spaces

Between breaths exist space that bridges the inhale and exhale.

Between life

Be it trees , flowers or animals

Space allows it to grow…

Between people

Space allows for freedom to be to express and share

Boundaries create respect and safety

Creating healthy relationships.  

Allowing for rest and regenerate

With peace of mind, body and spirit.

A question  then arises…

How much space do you need

To protect your peace?

And how much space do you give

To sustain the peace?

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.

Shine on

This one is a micropoem that sparked from the words… Where light shines’.

When you turn your face

Towards the sun…

Where does the shadow fall?

Where does light shine?

Shine 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.

Blooms of peace

Today my mornings photography muse is this beautiful white hibiscus   tenderly unfurling itself in the green foliage..I simply had to click a picture…

There is so much peace

That a white blossom emits

A sense of spirituality

Pervades in its unfurled petals

A guest for just a single day

Who better than this bloom

Gracing my garden today

To teach the truths of life.

Of living life lovingly

Garnering the wisdom of changes

Of impermenance

Its petals. proud & present

In this precious now.

Without worries of tommorow

So much dignity in its beauty.

Perhaps it understands

Transience of nature 

In the phases of life

Only too well

While it blooms  in peace.

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.
