Bonds that last
Are brewed in time
Simmered in the scorching of life
Infused in the palette of senses
Softened in the brushes of love
Textured in the treasure of experiences.
Blended in balance of emotions
Wafting through in the tasting
Every sip connects deeper
Strengthening the spirit
Awakening the feelings
Bonding in the being
In this now & forever.

To my readers,
It’s a conscious choice to write more, yet streamline my work.
So you may find me posting erratically every once in a while. Although I continue to write every day as I have for the past couple of years .
I simply started to switch to writing on paper, and I shall post one here regularly, but perhaps not every day. I sense great joy in picking up a pen and writing. It connects me up wires my hand brain coordination a little more than tapping on digital keys.
I already find myself relaxing into it as now I can write anywhere anytime with or without internet . This is simplifying as much as satisfying to me.
To talk about the day I first picked up the pen to write, I wrote a few words and found how strange it felt to be actually inking on paper after so long . It was a missing action piece in my work. Typing is not the same thing. It takes away the flow of continuous touch of the pen on paper.
Although I have written every day digitally over these years. I realise how important it is to never lose touch with writing by hand.
Writing digitally may be faster but fine muscle coordination and postural stability improve when you write with a pen.Something I want to work on again…
The simple joys of flowing with a pen and looking at your work right before you, a tangible piece that connects you with yourself in the touch. It’s hard to replace.
My writing, which seemed erratic at first due to lack of practice, has seen much improvement. Hope this art is not forgotten by other writers.
A point of reflection:
When was the last time you took time to write with a pen on a page ?

Art of slow…
In sensing the breath
Flowing with the rhythm
Of lifes myriad manifestations
Learning & developing the art
Of feeling oneness
Of pausing in wonder
Of harmony in the flow
Embracing the pause
Embodying the flow …

Move from instinct
Move through space
Meet it with grace
Turn inward
Hear the truths echo
In peaceful silence
Forgive in gratefulness
Sense your expression
Tĺhink calmly
Being more available
To your own self
Process your emotions
Clearing residues left in time .
To respond than react
In life & living.
Savvy
Crossing over
Bridges of time
Beginning to end
Ending to begin again
In body spirit & souls
Infinite forms of expressions
Between betwixt & beyond
Bonding new & old
In part & whole
Tuning into the sounds
Of harmony & rhythm
Inexplicable joys
Of moments in movements
As paths are splayed
Across time to tide over
In every moment
The choice is yours to take.
Savvy
A ladder is a link
A point of interconnections
A bridge between two sides
Between two opposites.
A ladder is not always to climb
A ladder leads you to connect
But the choice is yours
If you want to lead or be led by it.
Climb the ladder with confidence
Continue to bridge over challenges
Meet the changes with integrity
Dare the new horizons in hope.

Have written many times earlier on rootedness on grounding on awareness. But today, I share another perspective on the strength of rooting for self growth and transformation.
Self growth needs committed perseverance, patience and passion for continuous improvement. That is how the human race evolves .To root is to help grow and evolve .
Be unafraid of rooting
If you are looking to grow
And have a vision
Of what it is you want to grow
Then by all means
Find your growth
In rooting yourself firmly
Be unafraid
Of the winds of change
For what blows in blows out
Keep the faith and trust in you wherever you are
And believe you are enough for you.
Beautiful things begin to happen.

As I explore
I discover
As I perceive
I sense
As I pray
I ease
As I seek
I find
As I write
I express
As I sing
I channel
As I dance
I heal
As I read
I learn
I am eternally grateful
For all these learnings
That happen, all in good time.

Peace of calm
Ease of soul
Are two things I sense
In these serene morning moments
Whether it’s the weather here
A gentle breeze & blissful cool
Adding to it all, I know not
But it’s a wonderful start…
How is the weather today ?
Its not pride. It’s dignity,
That you need with you.
Much is the difference between .
In no uncertain moment
Lose your sense of dignity.
For dignity is divine
For it embodies your spirit & soul
Pride is just a human emotion.
If ever you face a situation
Where anothers words & deeds
Leave you broken
Remember its just your pride & ego
That feels deflated in the moments.
It’s just a phase of life it will pass.
Your dignity stays with you
In the way you handle
With no loss of grace
Stay dignified, stay graceful.
Savvy
Whenever you feel overwhelmed
And stalled in your efforts
When you feel you are lost
In too many things
And that whatever you are doing
does not serve you at all…
Do care to ask yourself
this simple question
for a conscious reset:
What is noise & what matters?

I often feel being a poet is a blessing.
For the mere act of writing poetry heals in empowering ways.
Lighting and delighting hearts,
in between the verses in awareness.
Poetry breathes in many possibilities.
A piece of poetry
speaks much about the soul & spirit of the poet.
Discard the thought away that it’s just so frivolous.
Discount not poets for being just a poet
There is much that is yet to be discovered and harnessed.
For the words emerge
to form a poem from a place of sensing & seeing more than what is.
I do believe more
Poets need to be hired
Not just as skilled wordsmiths
But for the tact and strategy,
if not for routine work.
For there is great innovation in their imagination too.
As they artfully build an imagery through mere words.
As for verses, poet emote in their unique way
At times structured and solid
At times lyrical and fluid
there is often a rhythm and reason as well.
Oh yes, add attention to detail & seeing beyond the looking.
And you have a potential worth exploring.
Poets are by far undervalued for their observation
But here is the truth.
Poetry is an art
Of expressing emotions
Through impactful verses
Mere words touch hearts
When words flow from a place of authenticity.
Of speaking with all of you as it flows from deep within.
There is the power in the very vulnerability laid bare fearlessly.
And that is a powerful concoction.
Would you agree?
What do you think now of a poet ?

On power of words:
A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives,
Embedded in words in a flow…
Sometimes the words may rush
On its own without hesitation
To express away with a purpose.
But often it is a channeling…
Of creating spaces between
To pause & empathize
Before the outpouring.
It invites you to ponder…
Words have profound power
In the way they are arranged
And the thoughtful poet knows
To convey the message home.
Yet , every poet is one of a kind
And so is their poetry
Every poet balances the flow uniquely…
On empathy:
In Poets, empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion,
It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic, as to be a poem the verses need to be well emoted as much as arranged, as words manage to touch another soul in inexplicable ways.
And what happens when empathy connects with poetry?
What are your thoughts on the above?

A calm composed nature
Allows space for response
An agitated mind & heart
Creates room for errors,
Of judgment & misunderstanding.
Patience is a virtue
An undervalued skill
In cultivating patience
You encourage a moment
For reflection before response.
To be patient is an opportunity
To be able to lean into the silence
And glean fresh perspectives.
For every moment is filled with it..
In seeing every moment,
in the journey as a step forward
than a race against time.
Is about cultivating patience.
Creating conscious peace in mindful ways.
Savvy
How are you in this moment ?
Are you ok?
Every once in a while
Just ask yourself these simple questions.
And let yourself answer
As the thoughts flow
Jot them down
There is much healing
In the journaling of thoughts
In expressing your feelings
On paper or to another
In simply voicing it out
Giving a path to let the steam off.
Build yourself up with care
Connect with a deeper breath
And listen keen as you exhale.
As you externalize, you create space
And understand yourself more.
