Orchestra of the Ocean

There is a symphony of sounds
In the ebb and flow
Is the waltz of the waves
Rising and falling

The wind playing with the ocean
Evoking the movements
Invoking the strength of the currents
Embodying the dance of nature

Connecting in consonance
Blissful in the blending
Peaceful & relaxing.
Healing in resonance…

Flowing with life in the fluidity ..
Adapting to the waves of change
Surfing in the waves of oneness
Witnessing the wisdom of water.

Enjoyed contemplating on two thoughtful comments by
Dr. Eric Zabiegalski & @T P R P RAO to one of my earlier posts.

Thankful ✨🙏✨

Power of Realization

When the sun realises it is a part of many suns in many galaxies

When the moon realises it is part of many moons in this very galaxy

Or when the blue planet earth realises the significance of water and its potential in this very galaxy

When every human life living in this planet, acknowledges the wisdom of conserving water.

The power of enlightenment will truly take us a long way…

So much to discover and learn

So much to the power of realization .

Create a space of calm
Inviting you to a journey
Alluding you in subtlety
Through natural authenticity
Keeping it simple & minimal
With intriguing unintentionality
Allowing a space for austerity
Sparking divine connectivity
Evoking movements in the stillness.
Invoking stillness in the movements.

Truths of life

Intellect will seem big as long as things happen our way.

Hope will seem big when things does not happen our way.

Luck will seem big when unexpected things happen.

Wisdom seems big when interruptions block things

Fate seems big when talent does not work.

When whatever we thought big, doesn’t matter anymore, we will start knowing ourselves.

When we start knowing ourselves, The Divinity inside us will seem big

Translation from Tamil forward by my mother Anjana.

On Positive Intentions

Wellbeing is an art in itself and it begins with a positive intention.

Interconnects

We live in a world where we are interconnected at the intersections .

A world piecing things together rapidly charging forward
A world where technology triumphs in everything we do.

A world where there is greater acceptance of possibilities
Where potential is being explored in associations
A world where art and science are at interlinked at the crossroads
Meeting like no tommorow
Where art is created by logic and calculations
Of a programmed artifical intelligence
Where science is more and more accepting of the metaphysical
Where science is turning to seek answers in spirituality
And Spirituality is discussed scientifically
But then in the same breath
Is the emergence of the mystics & the art of Spirituality.

Everything links to one another

Leading the truths of being

All is in the strength of the interconnects

What Is Art?

What is art?

But a transcendence

In sublime understandings

Invoking inspiration

Awakening aspiration

Collaborating in creation

Sometimes seeking

Sometimes speaking

At times questioning

At times challenging

Emoting provoking

Allowing thinking

In the sensing more

Acknowledging critiquing

Receving in the giving

Giving in the receving

Ever flowing…

To you my readers

Every day I write
It’s been so for more than six years now
I don’t plan on what to write
I just put the words as they come
But somehow from somewhere
From deep within they flow
Through me…
And then one look at what I wrote
I get the title immediately
Many times the title comes first
And I begin to write

And then I just happen to share with you all my readers
Some of you engage with me all most daily

And I am so full of Gratitude for your presence here.

Thankful for your likes and comments
You readers really make my day
Especially when you leave a kind & thoughtful word.
It’s truly special to see an old reader drop by chance and connect again
It’s a wonderful feeling…
When at the fag end of the day
I sit to read your thoughts
It makes me motivated to want to write some more.

Words are all I have
To share with you
I hope to share the best of them & I hope to read and learn from yours…
And hope to stay connected
With you in times to come
For I believe to share is to learn some more…

Thank you for the love you share here.

Reflecting reflections

Are we in the reflections or or are we the reflection itself?

What do you think?

Is all an illusion in the reflection?

Joy of Dance

At the 49th World Dance Congress UNESCO Mumbai. 2018. My lecture presentation on The Relevance of Dance Education in Communities to a distinguished world audience from the field of Dance and Dance Research.

I spoke about how learning to dance brought out massive changes in marginalised communities, senior citizens and also recited in a poem format, my learnings while teaching dance to Visually impaired school children.

There is so much power to movement to encourage, to give hope, and empower a life to sense the possibilities in their potential beyond situations and circumstances.

This image came up as a great reminder of that beautiful day five years ago.

At the heart of it all is the love I have to share the joy of dance movements. I have had some amazing experiences along the way over the last two decades of being a dance educator. I have enjoyed every bit of it. The learnings and the sharings.

Suffice to say that after all these years though I have moved to doing many more things along with my writings, the simple joy of dance will always keep me happy at heart.

The Dancer

Sharing one of my favorites

THE DANCER

An Excerpt From The Wanderer by Khalil Gibran,

Once there came to the court of the Prince of Birkasha a dancer and her musicians. And she was admitted to the court. And she danced to the music of the flute, the lute, and the zither.
She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears; she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.

When she had finished, she approached the prince and bowed her body before him. The price bade her to come nearer, and said unto her, “Beautiful woman, daughter of grace and delight, whence comes your art? And how is it that you command all the elements in your rhythms and your rhymes?”

And the dancer came near and bowed her body again and said, “Gracious majesty, I know not the answer to your questionings. Only this I know: The philosopher soul dwells within his head, the poets soul dwells within his heart, the singers soul dwells about his throat, but the soul of the dancer abides in all her body.

On Spirituality

You can’t talk Spirituality
You got to live it.
Often when life takes you far
Far away from it…

You got to know
The divine that you seek
Is with you in every moment
Your actions thoughts and words
Decides the distance between
You and your spiritual self.

A tree house

Many people imagine a tree house…

A house on a tree?
Sure that would be an experience
But the way of life
Is if you are living on a tree
Make sure that within you
You plant the tree of Gratitude
For life is a circle
Circle in with a grateful heart.

A world of difference

A thought in kindness
A word of kindness
A deed in kindness
Count up much more
Than you realise
Imagine the wealth of joy
You will have created
In a lifetime.

Leaving imprints of kindness

In thoughts words and deeds

Makes a world of difference
