Any time I catch myself complain about life…there is a beautiful line by Abraham Lincoln to put things back in perspective ..
“We can complain that the rose bushes have thorns. Or we can rejoice that thorn bushes have roses.”
Life is in the way you see it!

It is always a learning in progress for learning is never ending and is a continuous path in life and living.
Yet it is beautiful to pause & be grateful for the understanding that comes our way.
In the trials & tribulations of being a student & a teacher, life abounds in deep gratitude.

Positive change begins with us.
Every living being is making a difference to the environment in every moment. The question is how and in what way can it become sustainable.
With melting ice-caps, the collapse of vegetation and wildlife, and violent surges of hurricanes droughts and frequent wildfires are all concerns for our world.
And there is really not much difference in the apathy that is happening in the name of sustaining the future… only much similarity in the situation of corruption and deceit through politics of governing people whatever the part of the world we are living in.
Sustaining the world is each of our responsibility as we think of ways to nurture the earth and nourish souls.
It is time to take it upon ourselves to make a positive difference from wherever we are.
Reduce reuse and recycle … every tiny effort makes a better world!

Being content…
A realization
Of all that you have
In this now.
Being happy…
An appreciation
Of what you have
In this now.
Being grateful…
An acknowledgement
Of the gifts of grace in and around us.

Dinner under a lemon tree Capri
I saw this picture and paused…
For it spoke of abundance of being.
Of Sight, sense and smell.
Emoting in the sensing
Evoking in freshness of fragrance
Nature is abundance personified
Rewards aplenty, with fruits to share
The little joys of dining together
Socializing seem like a dream
With the world in its now from here.
Yet the picture paints cheer & hope.
Of giving and living generously.
Happiness is in the sensing
Have a wonderful weekend 😀

Evolving with time
Evolving with time
In the warp and weft of time.
As the clock ticks on its own tune,
The harmony moves in tandem
To the beats of the marching song.
Time and tide waits for none, they say,
But to accept the changes,
Exactly where you are, is to adapt
To the nature of seasonal shifts.
To begin to understand the dots
Is to connect to the bigger picture,
Is to know there is more to every frame.
Time to unravel the ununderstood —
Take the path of the envisioning,
The construction, than destruction;
Choose to decipher the genius plan
And trust the evolving patterns of life and living.
Growth creates changes along with opportunities galore
That can go out of hand, easily.
For in the space of unprecedented growth,
One needs checks and balances
To grow and evolve
Without losing control.
The evolving world is no longer linear
But more viscerally attuned
To a multi-dimensional phase,
To sync in harmony,
Tuning towards an evolutionary pathway.

The Road to Acceptance has many challenges in the learnings… not often easy, but certainly transforming in one way or the other.
Like there are many aspects to understanding
In acceptance there are many perspectives
Acceptance is not giving up or being in the same place.
To me a practice of acceptance is an ability to respect the now and in turn acknowledge the transient nature of everything.
To accept then is to be able to have a feel or a vision of the situation as it is experienced in the now.
The Paradox of acceptance is being defenseless to yin and yangs of life and living. Yet to envision that acceptance comes from a place of strength, is to be able to understand that we are not one entity but made of many parts that matter to the whole.
So the stance of acceptance is about flow & movements in the stillness , in hope to evolve in time along with the changes.

Why search for joy
When you have it all
You have power to create it
It rests with you.
Sense it in your heart
Express it with your smile.
The way forward
Is in our hearts
All we need
Rests within!
“Dare to do what you most love …
the universe paves the way and how.”💙

Sharing my artwork here with my musings on Peace.
In the forest of your mind
Wanders many creatures
Of thoughts,
Great and small
Playing the game
Vying for attention
Fighting for Survival
To be heard and to be listened to
To be acted upon and manifest itself.
Your history and future
Dancing a tango with each other
In this present moment
But in-between and betwixt…
There is a space of quiet
Of all pervading calm
Within lies a lake of stillness
Or call it a pool of peace.
A watering hole of wisdom
A centering space of simplicity
As all illusory creations of the mind
Partake in a regeneration.
As the thoughts refresh themselves
The mind collects itself once more
All is Serene and tranquil inches now
Peace pools in and life evolves…

You have it in you
The choice of what to do
You are your own master
You are capable to choose
What you want to do
You need to own who you are
Your passion, your purpose
Your life, your breath
Then you will breathe in peace
As you begin to own your own breath.
