Where does this moment take you?

If you could turn the key to a door  that opens up to a place  somewhere right now…

Where does your imagination  take you?

Near mountains

Near water sources

Green spaces

Or spiritual spaces

Or somewhere where your  heart is calling out?

What is your favourite kind of place?

Or is your desire to stay 

Wherever you are,

Stronger than anything else?

Sometimes in the middle of movements there is a desire for stillness

In the middle of hectic days…

For the quietness of calm.

And sometimes amidst silence

There is much going on…

The mind is steering the wheel

Both movement  and stillness

Are part of the journey.

And the desire to drive on

Explore discover the world

And what it has to offer

Is something that happens

To evolve every life.

There was a time

There was a time when the day started with a greeting at the light of dawn Now it all starts with the light of mobile screen There was a time when travellers used to chat with one another. Now traveling is to update status and post photos. There was a time when writing meant using […]

River runs its course

A river runs its course

Shifting its shape 

It meanders through

Yet is perseverant enough

In reaching the sea

Yet,all in its own time.

Its persistence legendary

In carved imprints

On rocks and stones

Making its way in the flow

A river is a transporter

That lifts and deposits

Nurturing  ecosystems

Dedicated in  purpose

To reach the sea.

A learning mind

A true learners mind never ages

For  they have the curiosity of a child

A blank slate where learning  can be added

An earnestness in exploration

A trustful disposition

An open mind that allows  expansion…

And most of all a readiness to learn 

To imbibe knowledge and update the self.

When the mind is ready

The understanding happens

Space for growth

Let there spaces in between

Room for improvement

For growth needs it

Personal or professional

Breathe in the pause

To ponder a while

To sense the potential

To emerge from ideas 

Creating possibilities.

I value the necessity of space

Between thoughts, between words,

Else

It starts feeling a little to crowded.

Creating the fog of density

Creating space creates clarity.

How much do you value your need for space?

Literally magic

Birthing a new world

Giving shape to imagination

Seeding trees of possibilities

Bearing fruits in the passion

Creating energy in the synergy

Making the words come alive

Writing is literally magic…

Take time

Take time to see beyond

To care and be considerate,

To be kind and compassionate,

To wonder and stay curious.

​Take time to learn and explore,

To read and discover another,

To revere the precious now,

To stay grateful for every moment.

For life moves forward

As clocks tick relentlessly,

With no respite…

​So choose to reclaim time.

Take time for, and with, the self.

To live lovingly than just exist.

Soul of my soul

Reaching out to the radiance

That lights my being

Feeling the magnificent way

The glow paves my path.

Seeing the grace unfold

In all its glorious resplendence

Aligning with its presence

In the breath I take.

Witnessing life transform

As darkness gives in to light

Sensing the space of lightness

As energy balances its flow.

Soul of my soul

Your omnipresence I revere

As you work your magic

Through me…

Dawn paints the day

An interesting  dawn

I woke up earlier than dawn today.

And positioned myself in my favorite space

To watch the glorious dawn

Before I could realise

A bright orange ball 

Just popped up over the horizon…

It was as if the sun was in a hurry

To awaken the world & light  the day.

As I just began to ease into the brilliance …

I saw the corner of the sun

Disappearing  into the blanket of clouds

Looming large, to dull the senses once more…

The light is hidden now

From plain sight.

Do know the sun is up 

There may be a lull in the now

But darkness is a passing cloud

Think of it, as moments to pause 

In patience for light is on the other side

Awaiting its turn to light up your day.

And yes, before I could pen these words here…

The light of dawn paints the day.

Tests of Life

A young man came to a saint and started crying. The saint waited patiently till he cried to his heart’s content. Then he asked the reason for his grief. He told, I’ve undergone a lot of difficulties in my life. Whatever I touch or do, wherever I go, I face only defeat & insults. My […]

Heart speaks…

Creative connects

As a dance instructor I remember a time more than a decade ago, I built a community of dance lovers who loved the connecting over a few moves every weekend. The tribe gew organically… as for all these lovers of dance, including me, the art of movements and sharing the  creative passion… became a way of life.

I often sensed how much the times spent dancing together was a transformative  experience.  I also witnessed how many of them  found friendships and supported each other through  thick and thin.

Though I moved on to another city and began exploring and discovering many more interests in time, the times we all manage to connect again, even now always brings a joyful smile from the heart ❤️

Unearthing The Self

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Covered in the grime of life

Masked in the mire of living

Seasoned in the sands of time.

Life may seem meaningless,

Submerged in the shadows.

Yet trust time in its flow

As it unearths the Self.

In its own unique way

P.S

This poem flowed in a moment of  silent contemplation…

I pose a question to you

Looking back at the layers

Life brought forth in time

Are there more, that are shielding you?

Or are there more that you want to wash away? 

And more importantly…

Are you ready to unearth the Self?

I hope in reading these verses, it brings in a sense of pause and trust, wherever you are in your own unique journey of unearthing the self .

Twilight

Twilight expresses the moment of change
In the most gentle of ways.
Change that allows
Change that accepts
Change that acknowledges…
that transition takes time.
It also holds moments of awe and wonder.

Yet change is rarely felt this way…
For change can be the difference
Between the dark and light
Of the night and day.


Humans are hardwired
To fear change in doubt and  uncertainty
But change is the only constant.

However… humans are also wired in hope
To trust transitions of change is hopefulness
And hope is here to stay.
