Strung ?

A stringed existence ?

While poetically speaking, or at theoretical physics, all of life is interconnected

Have you felt like you are strained, exhausted to the point of  emptiness?

Have you reached a point of burnout with visible signs of overwhelm?

Have you sensed the strong pull from various directions?

Some from strings you have given yourself a connection to.

Some of which, you are innately  connected since you were born.

Do you feel the pressure and need to resist some strings

And have you noticed how you are managing it all? 

Have you been able to live your life at all or  just simply existing  or day to another?

Time for some thought in this direction…

Sharing a thoughtworthy quote  from my readings this morning.

“We have a tendency to put ourselves last. We concentrate on everything else; work, friends, family, home issues, but we ignore the deeper stuff until it becomes so compressed that it can explode.”
Cecelia Ahem

I ❤️ it  for it is a great reminder  for all of us.

Self care needs to be considered as a priority practice rather than just a once in a while thing you do.

If we truly care to check in,  we can catch the many signs &  signals through which our body is already  communicating to us.. And how we are dealing with it all.

While being connected is great, we all need some space for reflection. A space to grow from awe and wonder.

A space for stillness in spite of the movements.

Some  moments to gather ourselves from where we are to reset ourselves.

Reflections in Trees

Have you sensed the reflections

Of human life in trees?

Speaking metaphorically

The roots of the trees

Holding  memories of the past

Buried in time, deep within

The tree trunk presents itself

To the world representing the now

Dreams and desires

Ambitions and aspirations

Are like the  branches reaching out

And the fruits and flowers

Are like the rewards of success

So much truth of life in these trees

Let’s care to nurture them

And imbibe the learnings

From their deep rooted wisdom.

A perspective shift

Exclusion Culture


They bring nine chairs for ten children, and they tell the children that the winner is the one who gets the chair, and whoever remains without a chair is out of the game.
Then they reduce the number of chairs each time and a child comes out every time
Until one child remains and he is declared the winner
The child learns the culture of “Myself, myself, and in order to succeed, I must remove others.”


And in Japanese kindergartens, they play the game of chairs too
And they also come with nine chairs for ten kids, with a difference.
That they tell the children that you have more chairs
If one of you remain without a chair, everyone loses
All the children try to hug each other
So that ten children can sit on nine chairs
And then they reduce the number of chairs successively
With the rule remaining that they must make sure that no one remains without a chair, or else they will all lose
The child learns culture
“I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed”

From Exclusion to Inculsion
