On Thinking Thoughts
Thinking is open to possibilities
Thought is already channelled
To be fair and square
Thinking is about the now
Emerging in this moment.
Thought is the past
Over and done.
Yet every thought matters
As it may enable new ways of thinking…
And so it goes
Until these loops form a pattern
And hit a sweet spot of light
Illuminating a new path way!

Interweaves
Like the interweaved veins on the leaf
Strength of the interconnects run deep.
Every life on earth is connected
Each is interdependent
Therein is its strength
Value the interconnects
Respect the strength of being.

Age No Bar
To dance is to get in touch with yourself.
To dance is to express yout own sense of rhythm.
To dance is to move from all of your heart.
To dance is to connect with the inner child within.
To dance is so much more than the moves you do, it is to tune into your own being.
To dance is to explore and express the connect you feel within you.
Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected.
Age is no bar to learn to dance !

Ablaze
Forests on fire…
The raging fire sets all ablaze.
Seething through all of Amazon
Gutting the lush green dense forests
Surging fumes seen from space.
Rainforests of Amazon are burning away
Home to so many indigenous tribes
Precious flora and fauna
Turning to ashes in natures fury.
While the blame game begins
On who started the fire
The glaring truth is evident
For the world to see…
Rampant deforestation and logging
Burning lands, leaving dark smoky skies. Days have turned to hazy nights
All caused by callous human hands
Pray for nature from where you are
Help it return to balance.
Rally for climate plans and sustain life
Combat deforestation across the world.
Do your bit today, every bit matters
For the planets lungs are at stake
Care, Educate,Protect Support
It makes a world of difference!

No it’s not the Red Planet it’s our Earth
It’s not burning but being burned.
The largest rainforest “Amazon” is all ablaze!
The planets lungs are gasping to breathe !
Buy less paper conserve wood.
Help protect the forests of the world!

Water matters
Water water everywhere
But not a drop to drink!
We are country overflowing with an abundance of rivers and blessed with the monsoon season.
Yet the picture is grim.
Rivers are tilting the balance, either in floods or in a draught. The changing weather conditions, the seasonal shifts, have created havoc on our agriculture.
Common man’s need for drinking water is not met. Some states fight for rivers to flow into them with acute water shortages, some states have perennial rivers flowing.
And some have dried river beds without a drop of rain.
Our majestic country that stood tall in the wealth of nature from east to west and north to south is sadly shrinking in shame
The culprits are no one but us all.
Land grabbing and construction is happening without care or consideration of the ecosystem.
Today where rivers were there are buildings
With rampant construction without ethical practices.
We may have turned the face of India in digitization and globalization but our natural resources are being drained.
With rising population, it is creating a giant depletion of resources without developing adequate measures to restore and regenerate the ecosystem.
Here is the truth as we stand today.
India is among the 17 countries facing “extremely high” water stress, according to the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Atlas. The country, ranked 13th on the list, has more than three times the population (1.4 billion) of the other 16 countries combined. And the crisis isn’t limited to the southern states anymore: Northern India also faces severe groundwater depletion. Earlier, a WWF study showed that Chennai and Kolkata were the world’s most water-vulnerable metros due to mismanagement of river systems and shrinking of wetlands.
What can we as citizens of this glorious generous land do to help?
There are many ways to help conserve water and make a difference.
Here are a few easy checks
Close taps when you are brushing/ shaving.
Fix leaking pipes and taps.
Stop throwing garbage in nature and contaminating water resources.
Check your water usage in bathrooms.
Fix water-saving showers.
Stop wasting water.
Every drop counts!
Being human is about caring for the world. So do remember if we save water today, we are ensuring there is water left for the future.
Let us all make a difference from where ever we are.
Save water.

Choose wisely
Choose not to hurry to do something
Because it is the norm.
But choose to do,
When you are truly ready…
Your life is about memories
Money can’t buy you happiness.
How do you create your own joy?
Love yourself truly in this now.
Live life engagingly & love your life.
Your life, your choices
But if you are lucky
To sense and understand…
This life & everything as it is,
You are truly blessed
To have it so.
So be wise and choose well.
Savvy
Sense the peace within.
Soak in the serenity of silence
You can create your own calm
Stay free from strain and stress
Sense the peace within.
Inspite of the reigning chaos
Whatever happens around you
Hold on to your inner sense of calm
The solution is within you to know
Sense the peace within.

Celebration of Independence
May we always dance in independence and freedom.
May we tune ourselves to connect with joys in tandem
May we always remember and value great souls lost in martyrdom
May we acknowledge that the strength in the interdependence is never random
May we always respect our roots and learn to follow our inner wisdom 🙂
Happy Independence Day to all Indians all over the world!

We can…
There is always something we can learn to do…
We can learn to be more understanding and empathetic.
We can learn to be caring and not controlling.
We can learn to love than be lackadaisical of another’s needs.
We can learn to be trustful.
We can learn to believe in evolving together.
We can learn to see the wisdom in the challenges.
We can learn to trade our fears for faith.
We can learn to stop those bullying another into submission.
We can learn to live and let live.
No one owns us and we certainly do not own another.

On Giving
Giving is the movement where the heart speaks without hesitation and in the flow through deeds and words. There is a moment of a decision before the giving and it is in that moment that life can be propelled to evolve along with the patterns of thought.
There is a lot of lovely words focused on Giving and most are essentially on the ‘Give before the Take.’
However, I also have something to share here …Every giving may have its own reasons…
Some may be in an instinctive reaction like warming up of the heart due to mutual understanding either being in the wavelength of resonance at that moment.
Or it may be because it is in goodwill as you genuinely care to show your appreciation.
Another would be because of your own good nature where you cannot leave without a positive act of appreciation in response…. there may be so many million and more reasons for giving which is wonderful for the world at large.
Now the reasons for not giving may be personal and unique as well.
Like for instance when you feel you are being used for a purpose that is self-serving.
Often there is a certain energy, in the very act of giving and that is what leaves an imprint on us and decides our future course of action.
Like at times a particular person’s energy may overwhelm and exhaust you or may be too much to handle that giving more thought or attention to it would feel counterproductive.
Like when you feel stressed and overburdened in the complexities of life and living that you simply may have overlooked the fact that the giving action is truly way beyond the gift itself.
Like when you fail to understand the reasons for giving or think the giver has ulterior motives for that matter…you may just appreciate it out of politeness but steer clear of receiving further as its truly not in your best interest to receive such a gift. But whatever it is, Giving nurtures and nourishes the soul of both the giver and the receiver when the intention is positive.
Go Give More of Yourself
Cos You come from Abundance
Receive with thankfulness
For that fills your own being with Grace.

Making it matter
Saw this the other day… I don’t know who originally wrote it but it’s brilliant
”Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We are all in “the line” without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.
So while we wait in line –
Make moments count.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.
Make sure you are ready.”
An Affirmation For One & All!
I come from light
Born with the infinite in me
Learning through it all
To move from deepest insecurities to dare
To rise like a phoenix beyond fear.
To see the world in a heartbeat
To turn the tide of pain to pleasure
To awaken the dormant awareness
To hope beyond despair
To give hope to the hopeless.
And when the mood strikes
To take flights of fancy in the light of imagination
Into the world of creativity and dream on
In surrealistic idealism.
To revel, celebrate and enthuse
In the creativity of thoughts words & deeds
To be conscious of my glorious truths
To feel free and yet deeply interwoven
To the fabric of conscious intentions
To denote the goodwill in the endowment
To mark the fleeting time with grace.
To leave footprints in benevolence.
In joyous acceptance of the potential within
Of endless beginning in possibilities
Of Infinity expressing itself through me.

Capturing nature
Nature is a dance of abundance
Colours and textures
Waltzing in vividity
With the arising concotion
Of unique patterns
Interspersed with changes
Of Seasons in a rapturous flow
Spellbinding yet endearing
Cataclysmic yet composed
Arresting hues juxtaposed
In delicate balance of form
Distinguishing the elements
Nature expresses in all shades!
The light of it’s own being.

Sharing a few of my captures…
Of precious moments in nature.
Energy of the being.
When the spirit delves into the soul
Seeking an understanding of the self
The emerging picture reflects the true nature of every being.
The turbulence and turmoils ,
The arrogance and attitudes
The anger and greed
The hatred and revenge
Clothed in ignorance ,
Accumulated over the eons,
Vanish without trace.
When it senses the real Truth,
The transience of Nature.
Maturity and wisdom teach
The lessons of life in experiences
Peace and tranquility
Harmony and health
Inner joy and oneness
Are all one seeks
Resonances in eternal time.
Why confine the self to notions that binds.
Trapped in soul cages.
Wiser to unshackle and be free when the way appears
Untangle the chains to fly free in the unlimited space.
Channel the evolving energy in more ways than one.
Develop humility, compassion & loving kindness.
Value the learning in the letting go
Realise the potency of your own Unlimited energy.
Sharing these above reflections which originated in a deep conversation with my own mother about life. These are her heartfelt musings. I simply reconstructed her thoughts with suitable pictures.
