The first step
Often taken in blind faith
In love and expectations
To experience lifes best moments
With or without a backstep
With or without fear and doubt
On some corner of the mind & heart
Yet a step ahead in time
Makes all the difference
Between thinking and doing
For action speaks louder than words.

Wonderful vocabulary and ingenious indeed!
The human genius behind the pen, has an eloquence in expressing thoughts as much as a methodically structured brain to have attempted this.
Yet I wonder about the creativity of writers….
What makes every writer so very unique?
Simply saying the uniqueness of thoughts is just one part of the equation
There is always more than what meets the eye, there are some life experiences, the books that are read, the nature of nurture, the kind that leaves a certain impression, all that perhaps leaves a diversity of imprints, interespersing the imagination with potent possibilities in the musings.
Every writing has a certain uniqueness of manifestation that unfolds the magic of thought patterns in the structuring and presenting.
From simple to compound to complexity of sentence structures, the choice and arrangement of words and phrases penned, can be both, subtle and stark indicators of the spirit and soul behind the words.
Every writing leaves a soul print.
And every writing can be a journey back home unto the self!

Every move we make
In acknowledgement
Of the infinite truths of life.
Of the abundance of nature.
Every step we take in harmony
In conscious awareness
Of the interconnections
Of the nature of our being.
If we only care to remember
How intrinsically intertwined
Is every life to another.
Such is the miracle of every life
Every sign , sound, symbol & shape
Every part of nature has a reason to be.
Interrelated in the river of time.
Envision potential in expansiveness
Of possibilities in inclusiveness.
Recognize the awe & wonder of life.
The miracle of every manifestation.

We need arts to explore our potential and understand ourselves
For the study and practice of arts opens us to discover different perspectives.
Art patterns itself through creativity
And art flourishes in appreciation and patronage.
But art emotes from the depth of the soul and spirit in the sensing.
Art can salvage the broken and the indifferent souls.
As much as channel the creative genius to express from within.
Art is both an intervention as much as intrainment experience.
When the soul speaks art renders.

Sharing a story that came my way on Social Media.
I am Travelling with you !
Every year Parents took their son to his Grandmother’s House for the Summer Break, and they would return Home in train after Two Weeks.
One Day the Boy tells
his Parents:
′′ I’m Grown Up now,
What if I go to Grandma’s House alone this Year ???”
After a Brief Discussion
Parents agree.
They were standing on the Railway Station, seeing him off,
Giving him Last Instruction through the Window,
As Boy continues to repeat:
′′ I know, you’ve already told me so many times…!”
Train is about to leave and Father whispers:
′ My Son,
If you suddenly feel Bad or Scared, this is for you !…… ′
And he slips something into his Pocket.
Now the Boy was all alone, sitting on the Train, without his Parents,
for the First Time…
He looks at the Scenery through the Window.
Around him Strangers Hustle, make Noise, Enter and Exit
the Compartment,
He gets that Feeling that he was alone..
A person even gives him a
Scary look…
The Boy felt uncomfortable…
And now he was frightened also.
He lowered his head, snuggled in a corner of the Seat,
tears rose to his Eyes.
At that Point he remembered his Father putting something in his pocket.
With a trembling hand he groped this piece of paper, and he opened it,
Son, “Don’t Worry,”
I am in the Next Compartment…
*Truth* :
This is How it is in Life…
When God has sent us in this World, all by ourselves,
HE has also slipped a note in our pocket,
*God Says:*
I am Travelling with you,
I am within your reach !
Call on Me…❗
🙏
I loved these lines …
On learning in life.
Life is blessed
In valuing the gifts we have,
In cultivation of skills we are enriched
And life is transformed in the choices we make.
Life is full of infinite learnings
Endless opportunities and possibilities …
Life is how we make it!

What is good for your being.
Allow and Listen to Sense
To learn more…

Wisdom from souls who know
Say angels fly, as they take themselves lightly
A matter of being at ease..so that you will traverse far
Fly knowing the roots are steady on the ground
Soar in the sky sensing the wind in your wings.
Stay on course… you will find yourself.
Life is better the moment you realise
Its value in every now.
So when worry and despair imbalances your thoughts
When anguish and self doubts rocks your self esteem
Rest assured it shall all pass and time will get you over the brink
Just care to have faith, ease up your thoughts
And choose to live, dancing lightly with life .
Resonated deeply with this lovely visual shared by Sanja Sremacki so resharing it along with my verses above as a dedication to this very beautiful reflection of ‘Living life in the lightness of being’.

Beyond the passion
The road to your life’s purpose
Is all about perseverance & patience.
When you choose to trust your dreams
To persevere with sincere intention
And believe with all of you
You are definitely closer to your chosen destination.

Two left feet or two right feet
Just learn to swing to the beat
And find the rhythm of your own heart.
And learn to dance and make a healthy start…
Just a little step and sway …
Bring the balance in your way.
Yes all we need is just a ‘Dance’ everyday!

On letting go ….
Making peace with the now
Very easy they say
Follow the breath
And peace flows
Yet…
We all know
That it is quite a task
To be consistent
That’s how life is!
Such is truth in itself
In this now
As every moment
Gives in to the new
We are meant to be
To learn and unlearn
Our senses
Our emotions
Challenge us in the changes
Our system takes a toll
Our beliefs turn around
In soul searching ways…
And then we learn to see
The moment as it presents itself
All judgements & assumptions
All prejudices & preconceived notions
All fade away into the oblivion
We live in this moment
In engagement again
But with this now
Without forgetting what’s gone
But forgiving times by gone
For only then we make space
For peace to flow in…

I came across two images yesterday
One of a fluffy floating cloud
With the surreal image of rootedness
The cloud signifying the leaves of a tree
Changing with the seasons of nature
Fleeting by with no barriers
The other of a caged cloud
So very profound
Two pieces of sky before me
Making me feel so very different
One made my heart sing in joy
To sense the lightness of being
The other although dense
Made me hope and believe
For a moving cloud cannot be caged
Yet the fact remains, freedom matters
Most to life and living
Life cannot be reigned
For life is meant to flow

When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown
The way we see the world
Changes our experiences
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.
