I dream…

I dream of spaces…

Up in the hills

Over the dales.

Where the lofty mountains

Glisten as the sun shines over them.

Where the fluff of clouds

Glides and waltzes through and over them.

I dream to be…

Amidst the dancing clouds

And the valley so green

Echoing the peace so rare today

Endless spaces so vast and open.

Fragrance of flowers swaying so free

Shimmering sunlight over the lake .

I dream to be…

Where the cool winds blow

Walking through meandering meadows.

Watching the glistening blades of grass

Breathing the fresh mountain air

And rejuvenate the spirit once more.

On discernment

Discernment is a spiritual gift
As humanity stands perplexed
At times in the paradoxes of life
Confounded by challenges.

In the throes of confusion.
An ability to figure things out.
A clarity of purpose and reason.
An act of perception of the obscure.

An ability to be insighted and comprehend.
A sifting through to make sense of it all
Acknowledging the spirit of the soul
Meeting through both the head and the heart.

Discernment is a wonderful tool
In intervention than in criticism.
For the gift is an ability to distinguish
The truth, in the facades that may appear.
In understanding the real and unreal
The truths and the untruths
And everything in between.

When seen with dispassionate eyes
Beyond the mirrored existence
Shifting perspectives in the making.
Yet knowing simply all as parts of the same source.

Befriend nature.

Be a friend of the earth

Befriend nature

Identify with it

You are born of it.

Be one with it!

Care and be concerned

About what affects

The world today

For it matters

Just as much as you.

Love nature

Nourish it with nurture

Grow plants save trees

Choose green living

Choose to sustain and simplify

Support and stand for the cause

Of living with nature.

Voice your thoughts

That are pro nature.

Take a step

To protect nature

Every good deed from the heart

Makes a relevant difference.

Bravehearts

Life is beautiful and yet challenging in itself!

We define our life

In how we respond to life.

In moments of merriment to melancholy.

The changes bring along the challenges.

And in it is the wisdom of the now.

To remember the interdependence

And know we are not alone!

To know life is simpler in the letting go!

Many deep-rooted issues that we choose to bury within manifest themselves in time as diseases of the mind and body.

We are better off in the sharing…

When things are too tough to handle

There is no point in holding it all.

The remedy is never in suppression.

But our world is happier wearing masks

In its facades the truth submerges

Only to rise like a Phoenix

Unexpectedly at the most inopportune of times.

Time to accept our vulnerabilities,

And find the strength from it.

Commend a share from the heart.

Support and appreciate their efforts.

Build a sense of community to help

For the truth is we are all in it together.

The healing is in the sharing
In the very ability to share
The first step of healing begins
For often in brushing under the carpet
The debris gets collected in time
And manifests grief in unexpected ways…
In the very vulnerability of life
Is the strength of living.

Kudos to ‘Brave-hearts’ for sharing their stories.
For it can inspire hope to someone somewhere…
Who needs to know, all is well in life and living
And hope is here to stay!

Still waters run deep

When water is still

There is mystery

In its stillness

Of its depth.

In its state of flow

Water acquires power

As it allows itself to be shaped.

In it is the strength to adapt

To be gentle stream in the flow

Or rise up like the waves

And in its very depth of being

Is a plethora of life’s potential

Thriving in the contentment of balance.

Sense of being!

Where is your sense of being?
Your space to make sense of life!

Are you acquainted well and in tune with your habitat?
How well do you know of who you are?
Can you fathom the potential possibilities
Of your ubiquitous and unique life?

Between the known and unknown
Of the simple to the complex
Emerge new patterns in the making
From the reigning confusion in the chaos.

Creating in the exploring
Illusory dimensions in reflections
What is logical and yet elusive
The ambiguity of certainty!
And yet …

Our sense of being, while creating new patterns of thoughts is deeply rooted in nature, and in nurture, which gives it a sense of direction in spite of the chaos and confusion.

It will find its own way!

On Waves

To dare as much as to retreat

In the ebb and flow of life —

Waves teaches us much!

To reach the pinnacle of success

Is one thing,

But truth of nature is, it changes.

So, the glory must recede in humility.

Such is the way of balance.

There is no gain in holding on.

There is grace in letting go.

Such is the circle of life.

Our vibrance

Our universe is full of waves of energy. And all life is energy in varied forms .

In the subatomic level all is vibrational and moving .We are all pulsating oceans of energy fields. This very waves of energy is what makes us unique as we are in ourselves and in the way we interact with one another.

Sometimes these waves of energy are seemingly stagnant and at times moving in momentous speed.

Life is full of vibrations. Sometimes you sense its brilliance and at other times it is so subtle and subjective to our level of understanding at that point in life. Yet there are reasons for why you emit the vibrations that you do. And it’s all interconnected.

From the food, you eat your choices have a way of influencing your body and your body affects the way you feel and think.

Our thoughts have much to do with our emotions and thus the behaviour of every cell is affected in a relational way to another.

Some simple ways to raise your positive vibrations…

Walk outdoors

Smile and laugh more

Spend time in nature

Have a hobby

Support a cause

Exercise, dance & play

Listen to soothing music

Eat vegetables and fruits

Drink adequate water

Think well for one and all!

And most of all

Love life and live it lovingly!

Project 201

Just a little heartfelt share

Had started a project to write

A post every single day

A while ago had written to a 100.

Project 101

And I was super glad for it!

To share is to learn some more.

Every piece of writing

Had a learning in it for me

Sometimes may be more

Insights from the comments

Or an offer of collaboration.

Or just the simple joy in resonance

That resounds it’s way back .

Thoughts shared and appreciated

In mutual understanding of the flow.

Positive responses keeps us going

Encouraging is the support

I received along the way

From many of you, wonderful writers.

That I decided to keep at it

Trusting myself to go on

And write my heart out.

For the last 200 days

Calls for a little celebration

For these little joy’s of life!

Eloquence of Silence

When silence speaks

Eloquently waxing words

There is a stillness

In the soul of the being

In sensing abundance

Of this moment in time

And in the stillness of the now

Is a divine orchestration

Of the rapturous flow

Of the beauty of nature

And its wonder in awe!

All is peace All is well!

In both the home and the hearth.

In both the heart and the mind

For the spirit is truly at bliss.

Life thrives in nurture.

On the interconnects of nature and nurture.

I am fond of nature. I enjoy witnessing and understanding the development of life and its interconnectedness. I also happen to love reading and reflecting about life and its potential possibilities. It provokes thought on the origins of nature and nurture. Be it life in a seed or a plant or a fruit or a human and the relationship with the environment.

Seeds that are sown and reaped depend on many factors Those are what induce the nature of seeds its distinct characteristics.

Yet at times these very factors also play truant that even with the so called right conditions and everything under control, the consequences are devastating.

They may detoriate or stay stunted or stagnate and wither on their own without a clue. So what is it about seeds that never grow…Perhaps they are just not ready as yet and need more time or they are exposed to more than they can handle!
Or they are just nutrient dense which clogs, or even conditions like too much water and sun . Or they are preys to parasitic predators as we speak .

On another parallel speaking of parents and children here I am reminded of what is called helicopter parenting style the kind that almost end up hovering over their children, which just doesn’t leave any room for kids to grow on their own.

Everything needs space and balance of elements to grow and sustain well.
To germinate on its own and explore possibilities in trial and error.

The sweetest of fruits may hold the truth of their upbringing.
The bitterness in fruits could have developed along the way in the way they were handled or induced with pesticides that makes them poisonous to the consumer .
Difficult conditions leave an imprint on them that in time could alter their very nature and characteristics. But it is simply clear that the effects of good nurture in nature yields positive results.

So many questions we could pose to ourselves in our search for a better tommorow for us all!

  • How can we nurture ourselves as an individual, as a community or even as a nation and beyond as one world intentionally.
  • What are the paths to prosocial behavior and relationships.
  • What are the ways to bring about transformational changes that help in thriving beyond simply existing.
  • How can we build on hope and a sense of optimism for positive outcomes from the grassroots levels
  • How can we think beyond and take responsible actions that will help heal ourselves and our world.

Our wellbeing is our responsibility as life is a gift . Let us find collectively work at finding solutions that work in evolving our selves for the better than self destruct our beautiful world .

Just care to remember

Be it a flower, a tree an animal or a human being
Life thrives in nurture with the cultivation of right care and attitude.

I am there by you

All of my creation

I hold dearly

In the palm of my hands.

I am your anchor

When you set sail.

 

I am there

To weather your storms.

So, sail on, dear child

As the cool winds blow.

 

Dare to explore

As much as you dream.

Your life is here

In this now.

 

Live it fully

With both hands, if you wish,

For I am there

To hold you

If you ever fall.

Keep the faith,

Trust and believe.

All is wonderful

When you truly do.

Faith is all there is

Without it, nothing is.

What would you teach the child of tommorow?

What would you teach the child of tomorrow?

Teach tomorrows child
To co-exist and cohabit
To know that none can be an island for too long
Teach the ability to adapt and not just tolerance
Teach them how to cope with life’s changes

Teach them gratitude and thankfulness
Teach them to maintain the dignity of being
That life is to be valued and respected
Teach them, the value of empathy and love
Teach them compassion and kindness as a way of life.

Teach them humility is not demeaning
Teach them honour and integrity
Teach them resource management and
Teach them to share & sustain the world.

Teach them the art of self-management
The world is increasingly self-absorbed
Teach them manners to be social and civil.
For beyond the gadgets and convenience of modern living that help us thrive
There is a human out there who needs to survive.

SPHERES OF INFINITY

Powers beyond comprehension,

Core strength beyond speculation,

Understanding an ever-evolving expansion

Of an intelligence without limitation,

Spheres and circles of energies

Dancing in suspended vibrations

In the infinity of time and space,

All a wonder of divine manifestation.

Profound projections,

Flashes of brilliance,

Resounding resonances,

Defining and redefining

Swirling life in a concoction

Of myriad manifestations,

Each seemingly independent

Yet deeply interwoven.

Circles of life,

Creative enigma at best.

Ordained in the flow

Are these Spheres of Infinity.

Beautiful Soul

Beautiful soul

Where art thou?

Hidden amidst

Illusions in the reflections

Mirroring through the dimensions

Magnitude of your brilliance.

Beautiful soul

Thou owns the key

To know yourself

Reach beyond your limitations

Trusting your intuitions

Exploring the truth of your potential.

Sense the truth of your being

Reflect in the light of your possibilities

Unfurl the wings and fly free

Your beautiful life awaits!
