Life pans out uniquely each day for us.
And yet every life has its ups & downs
It is how we see it
That makes us who we are.
In the journey of life
Life supports and encourages us
By offering many visible and hidden
Gifts along our paths.
Recognize and value them
For they are meant for us.
It is up to us to become aware of it
For us to sense & know…
And most of all
Every life is a gift
Value the life
You have.

Power of Imagination takes you places. It’s your choice where you want to be or go. It’s in you what you choose to imagine .
Divine Sparks
Simply imagine the infinite power of possibilities of the soul. And the pinnacle and the depths of infinite potential .The greatest depths is of the soul within… a spark of the divine!
Journey within :
As one deepens the focus in the inward journey of awareness, greater empathy is felt for the world outside , and when the focus is towards the outer materialistic world the focus turns towards being more self centered than self aware.

An interesting quote on relationships I read this morning…
The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it’s not without doubt but in spite of doubt.
Rollo May
As I reflected on the above words a few thoughts came to me…
On life and relationships
Is there an interplay of doubt and commitment?
Is there commitment when in doubt?
What happens when doubt creeps in the committed?
Whenever they intersect there are conflicts
Whether at opposition or not
Both are in thoughts
Dashing from one extreme to another
At times contradicting at times rationalising
And returning back to apparent normalcy
When doubt dances in, commitment feels the burn
When commitment is strong, doubt rests on the back burner.
Have always felt there needs to be trust in a relationship as much as compromise else even the strongest of relationships fall apart.
What are your thoughts ? Do share.
True intelligence of humanity is in realizing the strength of the intetconnections.
It is the guide to all that we truly are made of .
Oneness of spirit
Oneness in body
Oneness of mind
Aligns us in harmony
To live in tune
With the laws of nature.

I have received this poem below through a social media forward.
And I think I needed to read it today.
It put many things in perspective.
You see, there have been some small and inexpensive things missing at home . We have two house helpers And I was not sure who is the culprit.
They have been with us for a while and I have senior parents who live at home so I was letting it go and keep calm, because it was easier as it was causing a lot of unnecessary confusion and doubt.
In the meantime two months ago I replaced one of them. And I had felt a sense of relief somehow. And today the other is about to go on leave for the customary annual holiday. It will mean a lot of work for me personally until I find a helper. Yet I have been feeling positive that better is happening and all is for a good reason. Sometimes we grin and bear for the fear of changing statesquo…
While I cannot get my lost things as I have no proof, I think I needed a calm perspective to help me find me a way…
While I do believe that we must take action on that which is within our control , these words touched a chord in me..
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Rumi

Natures perfectly imperfections
Today I have shared my nature photography of three blooms, along with an inspired comment on one my posts on Nature , by my mother Anjana.
There is nothing as complete in Nature. Always there is space for futher growth and further evolution.
So learn to enjoy and admire the imperfections,the seemingly unfinished words or works, they give the room to take it further in a new direction or more positive approach later instead of lamenting internally.
The cosmos itself is infinite , with no beginning or end so that expansion can take place in any direction without boundary.
You can’t plan life to the last detail
You get what you give
And then some more
You give what you get
And then some more
Some times things happen
You may not know the reason why
But know it’s all for the best
And all is well.
Trust life and trust yourself
Keep being better than yesterday
All works out well for sure.

Strength in the Interconnects
All is one
One is all
Such is truth of interconnects
And in the sublime consciousness
All is in the divinity of oneness.

As life can be truly challenging
We all have worried about it
Yet worries don’t change things
Acting on the issues does.
So instead of worrying today
Whenever you begin to worry
Can you thank your worry
For trying to be helpful ?
And remember to make it a habit.
If you realise you are worrying
Work on worry everytime
Thank it again & again.
It is simple to do yet impactful.
Sometimes as perspectives shift
Solutions, find space to emerge.
Life is like that
Fragile and fragmented
There is much left unsaid undone
There is much left incomplete
For we are not perfect beings
Fragility is a truth of our life
But life continues ….
However much we may think we have given our best
There is always an expectation
Some how somewhere
That is yet left unfulfilled
There is always something more
That we need to have done.
A battle we need to have fought
A voice we should have raised
A devil we need to have dared
And annihilated
It happens in one way or another.
But we can only learn
By living our life forward
And while unfortunately we cannot go and undo all the past
We certainly can empower ourself
To rise no matter the storms .
And right the wrongs in time.
Leaving the world a little better than before .
I wrote this as a heartfelt offering of support and encouragement in hope to those going through or remembering a traumatic past.
While life is fragile
Hope is here to stay .

Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…
Where light enters in hope!
There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks are where light shines through , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose.
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

Sometimes a little pause or silence
Sometimes a little break from monotony
Can be a gamechanger
In the rut of routine
To unshackle the soul
And set the spirit free to imagine
And spark the creative fire within…
Wouldn’t you agree?
And I suppose how much of it all, is an answer each knows… in the journey of becoming.
We are what we are
As humans we are vulnerable beings, strengthened by our very vulnerability.
As for our notions of the nuances
As for our presumptions and prejudices
Along with our unique sense of self contrived our otherwise
We are only human we are capable of being humane.
We are alive & breathing in this now
And no matter the despair and frustration
No matter the weight of the world
No matter the fragmented existence
No matter our human fragility…
We carry on as we are
exploring & discovering
thriving and creating
history…
We are complete beings in our acknowledging incompleteness.
We are perfect beings with all our so called imperfections.
And we strive to do our best with what we have
If everything is complete and perfect then there would be no wonder to evolve us along…
As that’s what makes us who we are.
Savvy
To evolve into a better version of the self…
You incrementally make the moves towards it.
If you sense frustration and angst choose to make sense of where you are in this now…
Are you angry at something beyond your control?
When you realise you cannot change another then be wise to improve yourself.
Be assertive and you will sense confidence.
Choose to be self aware and have the courage to dare to speak for yourself.
You are your best friend, you don’t need anothers validation.
Own your truths. Both strengths and weaknesses. And work on improving your self in conscious ways, step by step .
It all starts with you taking the step.
Would you agree?
