Light In Shadows

Shadows speak much

Silhouettes cast

Shading surfaces…

Shadows are not all dark

Sometimes they seem grey

Sometimes blue on snow

Soaked in skies of clear blue .

Shadows are not all tall

Shadows falling at noon

Shrinking into themselves

Seeming almost nonexistent.

Shadows not only keep time

Shadows change with clock.

Shadows are a step behind

Seen on opposing ends.

Speaking  of art

Shadows and artists

Seem interconnected.

For an artist knows

To play with shadows

To light something up.

Creating contrasts

And dramatic depth.

Speaking of depth

Shadows hide within us

Sensing  and keeping scores

Symbolic of the yet unseen

Still emerging in actions

Still evident even if unsaid.

Still granting form to light

Staying united at source.

Shafts of light may be seen

Shadows muted self

Subtly beautiful  shadows…

Shadows can be beautiful

Sharp or blurry visions

Sharing wisdom from within

Shadows are not superior

Shadows are not inferior

Simply united at source

Shadows are part of us.

This piece of contemplation is inspired writing after a mention  from  my friend@Roshnii and her thoughtful tagging.

Light of dawn

Its presence needs a little wait, 

In both patience and perseverance.

To envision the mighty rays

Dawn of its true potential.

In lighting the hearts

Aflame in purpose.

 

This poem aims to reflect the dawn, by beginning slowly to depict the stillness that  precedes the dawn and like an  inhale, generate the light  building up to dawn and then   accelerate to the brilliance of  sunshine… hope you enjoy reading it.

Look at the sky

Look up

The same sky that brought the storm

Brings forth the sunshine

What more proof do you need,

To trust that it will soon change?

Whatever it is,

Better times are around the bend.

Grace of Luminescence

On a moonlit night 
Embalmed in its luminescence.

Bathed in its argent glow
Graced by the peace in the beam

Radiance lingers in its pearlescent reflection
Drawing us to look upwards

As we are enveloped by its lovely light.

Twilight

Twilight expresses the moment of change
In the most gentle of ways.
Change that allows
Change that accepts
Change that acknowledges…
that transition takes time.
It also holds moments of awe and wonder.

Yet change is rarely felt this way…
For change can be the difference
Between the dark and light
Of the night and day.


Humans are hardwired
To fear change in doubt and  uncertainty
But change is the only constant.

However… humans are also wired in hope
To trust transitions of change is hopefulness
And hope is here to stay.

SPARKS OF LIGHT

There are times we sense, how words are sparks of light.

From life and lifetimes lived

Of learnings from being you

That is actually meant to light hearts

Near and far…

We simply need to trust, for words know and find their way.

Keep sparking & sharing your light ✨️ 🙏

Who am I ?

This life I am in,

Is beyond emotions & intellect.

Way beyond feelings & senses.

Beyond the pain & peace of the moment. 

Beyond the pressures of life & living.

Hence I am not my peace.

And I am not my pain.

I am not the height of happiness.

I am not the depth of sorrows.

I am simply me as I am…

In the infinite resonance

In the dance of conscious awareness

A living spark of the cosmos.

Light is meant to shine

The sky lights up

This morning

In ethereal light…

And in moments

It feels like twilight,

Where light seems engulfed

But it is already dawn.

Perhaps the sun is hidden

For a fleeting while,

Waiting for clouds to pass

Only to shine again.

In this moment

Of in-betweens,

Before light shines

Its brilliance again,

Let me take a moment

To feel the senses

Telling me to ease in to this now.

Breathe the cool wind

And pause to witness

The unfolding play

Of light of day.

The sun is patient

And humble,

Awaiting its turn…

Let me stay patient

And hopeful

In this play of light.

Light is meant to shine.

Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…

Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.

Lighting the dark

Magnificent moon
Lighting the night
Beaming its brilliance
Across the world
For all to see…

Crack of light

Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…

Where light enters in hope!

There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks   are where light shines through  , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose. 
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

Light & Dark

Between the light and dark

Is a dance of hope 

Hope that sings and brings trust

In the darkest days 

And lightless nights.

As the light dawns

As light dawns
It dispels darkness
Spreads hope & cheer
Bringing joy & happiness
To all touched by this light.

As the waves of light
Transmit itself in the world
Hearts heal and life regenerate
For light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light of you.

Magic of New Beginnings…

One of my favorite quotes:

“Tomorrow I’ll think of some way… after all, tomorrow is another day.

Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind

This post is a dedication to a hopeful spirit.

No matter the calamities

No matter the challenges that come along…

In moments of deep despair

Know there is light around the corner

When the night turns dark

Know the dawn awaits full of light

Keep the faith & trust there is always more

In the infinite abundance

When one door closes

Another opens they say!

Keep the hope alive in your heart

And trust the magic of new beginnings💙

On Leadership

 

 Here are my musings to support the

Qualities of a Leader mentioned by the esteemed and the honourable Dr Abdul Kalam Azad.
All these are valuable qualities in leadership.

A Visionary:

Without knowing where to lead the followers how can a leader execute his plan?

Equanimity

Without being able to be balanced in equanimity in both actions and attitude, how can a leader be able to ride the storms and manifest the changes in the challenges?

Nobility

Without enabling the heart and mind to be transparent to each other, how can a leader be synched in the decisions taken?

An Explorer

Without being open to an explorer’s mindset how can the leadership survive in this cutthroat world?

A decision maker

Without a focused approach and timely decisions taken with courage  how can leadership  know what to do ahead?

Integrity:
Without a sense of honesty and morality  how can the leader lead others?


And I love the wisdom in these words. For this is what to me, is the sign of a great leader.
