This poem is truly special to me. For one it was written during my first solo trip to Greece.

Much of what I describe here, I felt while I was there, as if I had been there, and I deeply sensed it all in that journey.
Journey on… 🙏
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
Pearl S. Buck
Nurture life nurture living
Care for one another
Each of us need one another
For we are not meant to be alone
We are meant to live and love
In this life we have.
This world is meant to coexist.
If each of us take a step
To reach out as humans
To nurture life and living
In love & compassion
In empathy & care
To be humane and inclusive
As simple as checking
With those closest to you.
Asking them a single question
Are you OK? And truly listen.
Our actions can be transformative
Sending a message of care.
Making the world around us
A whole lot better.
If you find someone lonely
Reach out with this message
In hope and trust in care.
Are you OK?

The challenge in building a team is not just about ones performance, but about sustainability, about how best the team can work together.
Then not just about working together but about how much trust care and respect they have for each other that stands the test of times.

Wisdom of water
Shaping in the dance of fluidity
Emerging in the strength of flexibility
Moulding itself in the ability of adjustability
Emulating the power of adaptability.
If we truly choose to witness
The flowing wisdom of water
All life lessons are in the flow.

I find this quote empowering in days when energy feels blue…
Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.
William Hazlitt
There is much power in words than we choose to acknowledge and accept
Often when our energies are imbalanced in one way or the other leading to stress, overthinking and despair. It helps to have uplifting words that motivate and inspire as well as balance our thoughts and deeds.
Sharing it with a smile and positivity it brings forth.✨😊✨
The power of choice, rests with us
Yet in conscious choices
We acknowledge
The space between the steps…
Of the inexplicable emotions at play
In mindfulness of the heart intelligence
The so called second brain.
In listening to our body mind & spirit
For the body never lies
We tune in to our truths
To make an informed and integrated choice..

Art of creativity emanates from self belief in the creative capabilities within.
Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt.
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.
To allow the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of creative capabilities.

There is always a learning
From every conversation
For it is a dialogue
Not a monologue…
Once I was having a conversation
With a well read corporate lawyer
In the depth of discussion
I casually said,
‘Anyways it’s fine’
And quickly, although polietly he says,
” Mam don’t get me wrong,
It’s not, ‘Anyways but anyway’
I thanked him for sharing without hesitation but in confidence.
While in formal situations of writing or speaking this is the proper way, in casual use of language Anyways works alright as well.
After all its just a matter of speech.
The choice of when to use it so, is yours to know and take…
Anyway now, I stand corrected.
I share this so anyone who also says ‘anyways’ in slang can self correct, if they choose to… for there is always room for a little self improvement.
After all…
We are what we learn
We are what we imbibe
We are what we share.
To learn is to share and to share is to learn some more.

How intriguing are the intersections in interconnects…
In synergy of the energy
Of the harmony in the synchrony
Of life and the living
Of spaces between the steps
The spectre of the spheres
The realms of the cosmos
From one to another dimensions
And what is beyond the known
The illusions in the making.
Yet to understand more
Is to acknowledge the dance
Of patterns of possibilities
Shape shifting formations
Arranging and rearranging
In the infinite potential.
Watch this spectre of the spheres, the dance of the planets Jupiter and Mars around the sun…
Life is born
Thoughts arise
Creativity spurts
Dreams envisioned
Passions pursued
In hope of dawn.
Yet night falls
Beween the dawns
Some dreams shatter
In the darkness unknown
While some see
The light of day!
And Life is bettered
Such is the circle of life
Flowing in a rhythm
Of its own making!
Every Life chalks it’s path in time
Arrives its meaning for itself
The journey is unparalleled
And uniquely carved.
Such is the very nature of life
And at every moment
One can’t help
But wonder…
Such is the wonder of life!
Savvy
There is a profound Croatian saying
by Tea Obrecht –
“Is your heart a sponge or a fist?”
What is your first thought on this?
The human heart is continually operating as a muscular pump, contracting on average 80 times per minute to propel 9 tons of blood through body tissues each day.
Heart is a resilient organ
It keeps on beating through life.
In a lifetime it acts like a sponge
Yet it squeezes itself in every beat
Cleansing to regenerate itself.
Heart is resilient as a fist
Yet open to receive & share love
Heart is intelligent in its intuition
Courageous and compassionate
Caring loving and humane
For after all humanity is heart centric.
Savvy
A few musings…
Where is humanity in this now?
What does it take for humanity to thrive?
How does it continue to thrive?
Touched by the grace of gratitude
Appeased in the love for life
Moving beyond the self in inclusivity
In thoughts, words and deeds.
Humanity continues to thrive…
In moments of humility, kindness & compassion
In help, care, support & empathy
And yet it takes us all
Each and every one of us
To consistently sustain our humanity.
