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.

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.

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.

A gentle reminder
Of flowing gracefully in resilience.
River flows
Beside and beyond
The rocks.

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.

Truth is free
Mind controls.
Life is free to be
Living contains
And the spirit
Frees the soul.
Savvy
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.

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.
Savvy
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.
Savvy
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.
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?

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?

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.
Anjana
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 …
