Spill Art

Very interesting perspectives…

Spill creates Art

I wonder what makes the mind want to take a spill to art.
What evokes the heart to charge the creator with imagination and energy…
To be able to create such artful associations.

Some learnings from a Spill
To turnover a spill to evolve for better

If a child has spilled a cup of milk accidentally….
To keep calm and address the lesson in the spill like carefulness, steadiness, patience, thoroughness, cleanliness and most of all mindfulness.

What’s is spilled, is spilled already…. what matters is what we do about it.

As a child when my daughter dropped a glass of water, spilled milk on the floor accidentally, without getting angry admonishing, I have used it as moments to convey such lessons… so much so that it made her understand the value being in the moment while doing anything.

Great lessons can be taught in such moments and vulnerability can become a strength in time.

Similarly one can intend

To create hope in a spill…
To sense a pattern of possibilities in a spill

To use a spillover to change mindsets
To challenge the statuesque through a spill.

To evoke creativity and art…
To test skillsets learned from a spill

To create art in revisiting patterns & perspective
To spill some more and align the pattern formations.

To move beyond the evident spillover…
To envision hope beyond the accidental spill

To accentuate the spill artfully
To create masterpieces from the potential in a spillover…

To understand there is always a reason why and the learnings to come.
To empathize with the spillings across the learning curve

So the very act of overflow or spill
Or a cup that runneth over
Can be a turning point in itself
With the many lessons to learn.
The choice rests with us.

Embody Love

My personal mantra…

Live the life you love and love the life you live!

What happens when you embody love…

You reinforce the power of trust

You reiterate the value of life

You reinstate respect for life

Every life that is powered by love

Is tuned into deeper consciousness

Knowing there is always something more…

Than just the superficial nature.

Threaded interconnects that runs across

In this web of life and living.

Love connects us all

As we embody love

All roads leads home.

Such is the path of love.

Embody love!

Wisdom from nature

Nature teaches us much

The first lesson
Nature is patient and never in a hurry
All takes its course in time
As a blooming bud
As a fragile flower
You cannot force them to flower
Patience and perseverance is the key

Nature is abundant
It gives and receives
The beauty of nature
The fruits of nature
Is its gift.
It bears much too
Nature is full of resilience
Teaching lessons of living
So full of grace and dignity
And yet…

The third lesson
Nature balances itself
Time to time
When life gets too tilted
Nature plays on
Its courses through
And unearths its fury too!

Never tamper with nature
For nature exacts much
Unleashing its wrath
To beget its equilibrium

Treat nature well
Both inner and outer
For every thing is part of nature
And nature will thrive.

What makes words flow?

Poetry is a joy that cannot be contained
Poetry is in words that get themselves aligned
What makes words flow
So many things I say

The pull of the idea conveyed
The push of the underlying emotions
The interconnects in the thoughts
The interdependence in the choices made.
Some say verses flow only in rhyme and meter
Some like it structured to the tee
And some a bit undone.

But true poetry is a feeling created
A magnet for thoughts imagined
That move to synch in a symphony
In the most unique of ways.

Every poem is a dance of words
In rhythmic flow all its own ….
Touching hearts through those words
Conveying so much more than words can say!

You will find your way…

Your abilities have a way of appearing
In bringing forth your inner purpose.
Even if you haven’t utilized them yet,
They will be visible to others at some point or the other.

If you ever feel you don’t have it in you,
For whatever reason, to pursue your gifts and talents,
Keep the faith and use your abilities
To bring out the best in others.
Reach out to help others trust themselves.
Give hope wherever you can.
Immerse yourself in spreading goodwill.
You will find yourself on the path that’s meant for you.

Your unique set of talents are gifts you own.
If you feel you do not know the way
To use them for yourself
Use them to help others in need
And in that you will find your way!

Be ready…

As you begin to share
You start to learn…
You turn the stranger
Into a friend
Not only on the outside
But within you too!

Be ready… to journey on
And receive in the giving
For you may meet along the way…
Parts of you-you may have never met before.

Be ready…
You feel emotions that you never felt before
In your sharing is the learning
Of the power of embodiment
Of being all that you truly are.

Be ready…
As you aspire to learn …
You inspire to share some more…

Be ready
To come away with an understanding
Of the truth of all that you are
Creating from within!

Be ready…
