The choice is yours to take

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.

A ladder

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.

To root is to grow

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

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.

How is the weather today?

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 ?

Dignity of being

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.

What’s noise & what matters?

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?

Why hire a poet?

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 ?

Poets & Poetry

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?

Cultivating Patience

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.

Expression

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.

An unrealized dream…

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Form & the Formless

Art by Savvy Raj

Is the form you see
Exactly the form I see
Perhaps they differ
In the way we choose to interpret.

Is form the mark of reality
Does being formless makes it unreal
Is form the contention
To know the real and unreal.

Forms are shaped by intentions
In dedication & deliberation.
For forms become fleeting memories
Perishing in the sands of time.

While the formless evolves in the heart
Holding up to unfathomable faith
They may live on in the silent knowing
Of unspoken trust in the being.

Discernment of the forms
In the inner recesses of the heart and the mind
Waltzes the consciousness of the being
In States of knowing ,of the truth of light

A light of wisdom
That takes many forms
Million times over
To show the path of truth.

The path is lit
As the steps are taken
The forms manifest in the interactions
Of vibrations in resonance.

Between these Illuminating illusions
Of the form and formless
What is real and unreal
All are just reflections in the dimensions.

In the beam of even one moment of truth
Is the convergence of envisioning
Forms and formless become one
Conveying the message safely home.

Healing heart to heart

There is a dog somewhere nearby
That is barking every once in a while
It is not the usual bark and not a yelp either
But I feel it’s something not ok
Perhaps it is loneliness
A yearning for a companion
Or a little comfort & care.
My heart aches to hear it every day
And wants to help.
But try as I might
Yet, I am unable to find the dog.
Till then ,
I hold my hand on my heart
If it is a pain of some kind
I pray that the pain goes away …
I send a healing light
To shift the energy & ease the dog.

The Mountain Beckons…

Across this desert of life
There is a mountain that beckons you.
That emits calm.
It invites you into its fold
Although the path is treacherous and tricky
You will lead yourself to it 
For in its wake,  the light of soul blooms
Your spirit awakens
And your body regenerates.
As you reach its pinnacle
You look onwards and upwards
You see the light of a thousand stars
Shining on you, their cosmic lights

There is nothingness
And yet everything-ness.
A feeling of calm and composure
Envelopes you in its presence
That soothes your soul.
The air filled with an ambient  pure fragrance
Of the mystical flowers  as you sense it in resonance.
Healing you
And empowering you,

With the strength of stability in its sureness.
