When you care to strive for….
An open mind
A loving heart
A calm breath
A caring heart
A joyful spirit
A helping nature
A sense of self
A healthy body
A freedom to move
A trustful way
A thoughtful speech
A passion to live
A peaceful life….
Trust the universe to help you thrive all through…

There is a kind of hush…
up in the mystical mountains nestled in the green lush
A fairy tale like feeling in this enticing place somewhere
An idyllic haven of blues and greens in the middle of nowhere
Speaks softly to that place in the heart that I treasure
It is abound with bliss and bounties of nature
Crystal clear waters reflecting the canopy of green
The falling leaves witness to this mystical scene
Glowing in the gilded light from above
Could only come from a place of true love
enveloped in a kind of magic that fills the air
Captivating and conjuring, beauty beyond compare
A view like this and I just had to share…

My Artwork above Concurrents is about an intersection of happenings around the world of the ravages of times ,the deluge and the disorder in our nature.
It is a message of trust in hope and goodwill that chaos will shift to clarity in time and faith in this circle of life.
A prayer for healing the hearts of the restless.

Cheers to life and living 💙
A memorable evening in Athens…
In that beautiful city
We met and bonded
Three women total strangers
From three different lands
From across the world
Carrying a common love
For dance in our hearts.
Connecting and conversing
Merging and blending
The interesting cultures
Of our roots, as we raised
A toast of good health and cheer
With simple good old water 💙
A memorable Congress indeed!

The picture above holds a special place in my heart. Taken in the lovely city of Athens Greece during the World Congress of Dance Research held there. A common passion for dancing brought us together that memorable evening.
Over the years we may have gone on with our lives in different zones of space and time…but am pretty sure, whenever we lay our eyes on this picture, it is sure to make us three smile with all our hearts remembering this lovely evening back then.😊
Cheers to life and living.

Bridging the gaps in learning and knowing
Sensing the arising patterns of thoughts
Acknowledging the patterns of reflections
Accepting the spaces in between as it is
Arises a consciousnes of being
In the path of ascensions of dimensions
Consciousness is dynamic state of being
Shifting of energies altering matter
There is much movement in the stillness
And stillness in the movements
The tides of consciousness
Keep on sifting and sieving
Challenging the being
In every level of awareness
To reach a state of steadfast purpose
Of understanding beyond the horizons
The Infinite as a potential of all possibilities.
Savvy
We are specks in the ocean of cosmic energy
Breathing thinking beings, learning and living
So very vulnerable, yet so resilient
Searching ways of surviving the odds
To securing a purpose to live our life.
Strengthened by experiences of living
Our nature endows hope in the being.
And in being alive to this very now…
We are connected, in the ocean of oneness.
Savvy
Be there to sense the moments in the movements
Be there to feel with the all of you
Dont lose heart and hope
For today is yet another day
To make each moment worth living
For you and those around you
Life is meant to live not just exist!
Savvy
As love conquers you it blesses you in the knowing.
Make not a mockery of love
Serenade love and allow it to speak truth.
Love surfaces from the depth of emotions
To mend you and this world to a better place.
Savvy
A kind thought, a kind word a kind deed changes the energy equation of matter across dimensions.
Sharing kindness is integral to replenishing life and living…
Start with one kind expression to the next person you meet and let the ripple begin from you…
Be kind it always makes a difference..
Savvy
Every learning is a discovery
In the revelation
Of how little we know…
Every learning paves the way
For a little more understanding.
As life keeps on happening.
Life keeps on flowing;
Learning keeps on regenerating.
Learning is never limited…
It is endless and ever regenerating in itself.
Savvy
Practising quietude to listen is about stilling the restless spirit.
Quietude is about respecting the strength of subtlety.
Quietude is valuing the grace of dignity of consciousness.
Quietude is an opportunity to hone awareness of subtle consciousness…
For in listening beyond all the noise
The core of our consciousness awakens
and finds its own voice.
To express and acknowledge the learnings
in the essence of silence.

Years ago when I first read this post and saw this video clip of a musician from Iraq who played and moved to tears soldiers in the very ground where a major bomb had exploded … it moved me deeply and it moves me beyond words still.
Salute to the Power of Human Spirit.
Strength to defy & dare destiny in the face
Of danger destruction and devastation …
Comes from a deeper conviction that creates
Courage to rise beyond catastrophes …
The heart has the capacity to deal
with almost anything … as that is how our life is
wired to cope and heal.
Expressing through Arts is a power within us.
In empathy with care compassion
It is an act of kindness in realization of the oneness.
That what hurts you is actually eventually hurting me …
Your pain is my pain
In conscious awareness
I can help you heal
Your troubles away in faith
And hope for a better tomorrow for us all.

Here is another share of my dear mother’s reflections on ‘Life and Living’ with hope and the value of ordinary things like the school subjects , the primary lessons we often take for granted as we study without thinking too much about it. I am compelled to share this line of thought for its ingenuity and how it mentions the values of lessons from nature which often is the most overlooked but actually so full of wisdom.
Don’t despair
Life is the real teacher. It’s teaching methods may sometimes be playful, sometimes very harsh, and it may seem like there is truly no way of escaping them.
Profit and loss are not only money related,
They can be manifested in relations too.
The premium of love and care one invests,
Will return as interest manifold in days of need.
And certainly no scheme will tell it is too late to invest.
The more one adds smile and support
The less will be the worries and loneliness.
As they are inversely proportioned.
X and y denotes the unknown
Problems, that seem ready to pounce.
Don’t you worry,
As you are taught to get them solved.
Every single point and line
has a measure and significance.
Geometry taught us not to ignore any
and the value of boundary.
History gave the realisation,
Evil and greed perishes
How much ever strong they seem.
Always goodness stood in the victory stand in the end.
Geographic differences help too
To understand that variety is a way of life.
Your form and food is Nature’s decision.
Value the differences, to be in harmony.
Biology taught that all are one in the core after all.
Power of energies,
and laws of Nature gave the knowledge
To bow down and conquer.
Spirituality taught the most valuable lesson.
The real enemies are the ones
that are nourished
as ego, pride, vanity greed, anger and hatred.
I reap what I sow.
So none is responsible,for my pain or pleasure.
Initial years are like blue prints.
But few read them correctly,
Even less understands,
Even fewer practice.
The primary lessons…
Are professors of Life.
Each subject taught
Are the preparations
For the life to be faced in essence.
Quantity of money to be possessed
Is not the measure of life.
The quality of love and respect
Is what distinguishes from the rest.
Never despair…
The variations of Nature,
The constant changes
Makes every moment a new one.
And that can be the dawn.
New ray of hope in the horizon.
Remember the lessons
And proceed further.
Never look back in despair.
Bring back the beam of smile
To fill the surroundings with joy and light.
As the world is truly vast to explore & delight!
Anjana
In every new moment in time ….
Let there be more compassion and less cruelty
Let there be more creativity and less cliche
Let there be more candour and less cynicism
Let there be more cooperation and less criticism
Let there be more connection and less contradictions .
Let there be more clarity and less confusion.
Let there be more caring and less callousness
Let there be more composure and less chaos …
Let every moment be a celebration in a world of the contrasts !
Let thoughts of a Peaceful World be on top of everything else!

My painting and poetry in dedication towards the International Day of Peace.

My Digital Painting titled Crosswinds
For every you there is another you caught in the crosswinds
Infact there could be many more reflections of you…life will throw you the hints
Fanning the flames only arouses the spirit
to arise and evolve more than we give merit
To deeper levels of conscious awareness
Breathe in the wisdom of knowing in all fairness
Of the freeflow of movements as it unfolds
The crosswinds breathe fire of life into souls
To breathe in the the energy of consciousness sublime
Trust the trysts of destiny in the eternality of time
To have a reason all their own
Cause it is preordained like seeds of life already sown.
