Her likes were not blatant and loud —
Not the one to shout out.
Her kind of songs were of melody and rhythm,
In sync with her heartbeat.
Her type of books were all of an understanding,
The soothing and sagacious kind,
Of healing and harmony.
Her friends were far and few.
Not much would escape her lips;
Her speech was guarded.
None had really stepped into her inner world.
In fact, her family too knew little about her.
Her words were simple, not stormy.
In fact, she chose the middle path in life —
A road safe and steady.
Not for her the bane of fame and fortune;
Not for her the choppy waters of high tides.
She preferred smooth sailing in serenity.
She was a lover of grace in simple things.
She never was the seeking kind.
Neither love nor laurels, pleasures nor pain,
She lived a life of content.
She never craved too much.
She knew the price of desire only too well.
Awakening the self, the way bearer in the wisdom of living.
Want of wealth never brings balance of needs.
Hoard nothing and healing begins.
Living intentionally is not about living selfishly.
She was privy to the clasping clutch that ambition brought.
She witnessed the sacrifice of lives barely lived.
She grew in the unfolding drama that power portrayed.
She was torched by emotional upheavals, but she rose in fortitude.
She amassed the wisdom in the power of silence.
As she knew and sensed the peace in the middle path.
Who is she?
What makes her who she is?
What guides and motivates her?
What brings her peace and contentment?
What makes her grateful?
To every evolving question, there is always a reason to be.
And to each their own path to be!

Our purpose creates us
We are born into it
It matters not how small or big
We are meant to fulfill it.
There is much good that we do without knowing…
And unknowingly lighten the load off another
A simple smile that sends a spark of hope
A warm embrace that spirits up hearts
A share of kindness that passes ones way.
Every little bit helps make a difference to this world.
Lets care to keep being all that we are.
And do the best we can.
Because we truly can!

This beautiful story conveys the preciousness of every life.
We are born for a purpose
Many times we are so busy searching
That we fail to see our own worth
In being as we are
There is always a reason
Why we are as we are
Just because we dont know it
Does not mean life is not worth living.
We are only as good as we learn
To see ourselves in our hearts
Cheer up from your trials and errors
For there are many paths on our way
To nourish with our nature
To heal and help evolve.
There is much that requires our being
To do, to care, to share, to love and live
In our own special way…
The way only we can !
Savvy
Strength to defy & dare destiny in the face
Of danger destruction and devastation …
Comes from a deeper conviction that creates
Courage to rise beyond catastrophes …
The heart has the capacity to deal
with almost anything … as that is how our life is
wired to cope and heal.
Expressing through Arts is a power within us.
In empathy with care and compassion
It is an act of kindness in realization of the oneness.
That what hurts you is actually eventually hurting me …
Your pain is my pain
In conscious awareness
I can help you heal
Your troubles away in faith
And hope for a better tomorrow for us all.

Awareness and Alterations
Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one.” ~Astrid Alauda
The thoughts we think…
The nature of our thoughts, our choices of food intake and nutrition for sustenance, our associations and our activities and our rest patterns are all interconnected in the conversion of energy to conscious awareness.
The mind and body connection is prevalent and the signs of repeating patterns of stress show significantly on our bodies in time
Alteration is a process of transformation that can be gradual, tiring and taxing to lead and follow. For example to rid the body of a chronic condition the behavioural patterns that created it in the first place are rooted in the system and hence to nudge a root one needs to work the underlying layers of emotions that associate and accumulate and elevate the conditions of its existence and growth.
The cleansing process is then definitely natural and non-invasive. A supportive and strength giving initiative would be ideal as alternatives to follow.
Alternative natural cures are best environments to work towards in treatment and eradication of root cause than just attacking the symptoms.
The part can never be well unless the whole is well.” ~Plato
The wisdom is in our observation of our own pattern of being as we are, as we behave and feel.
The thought reflections getting imprinted on the body and our ability to intervene are both significant. So to significantly alter the nature of our existence we need to be present in the now.
A few thoughts…
Thoughts come and go but the choice of what to steer it towards rests with us.
Our positive orientated thoughts are our bridge to transform ourselves for the better.
They are available to link ourselves and connect with our deepest truth.
Every interlink in positivity is a step towards personal transformation as much as the power of spreading expansive goodwill and wellness into nature.

The nature of nature…
Nature is full of vibration.
Never truly silent
For it is alive with pure energy.
Always a wise companion.
In moments that you need
Some respite and understanding.
Its very nature shows the way.
Seek nature to energize your being.
Seek its freshness of spirit
When the world gets too weary
Every once in a while.
Nature never competes.
It is never in a hurry.
Nature never rushes you
It continues on its path
As it seems meant to!
Allow your own nature
to blend with the bliss of nature.
Sense its synchrony
Envision its endurance
Marvel its magnificence
Wonder at its wisdom
Connect with its composure
Understand its inate balance.
In itself by itself with itself .
In and around you.
Know you are nature
And nature is you.
Ultimate Oneness in the diversity
Such is the nature of nature.

The search for meaning
Is never in vain
There is always a meaning
To life and living.
One or a million reflections
May be more
At times can lead
To a miracle in the making.
One or a million drafts
May lead us to a perfect design
One or a million words
May be more…
Can bring on the inner genius
One or a million works of art
May be more…
Delivers a masterstroke.
Each step is of value
And somehow significant
To some one somewhere
As much as…
To the utimate whole!.
If something seems to be useless to one person, there is always a possibility of so many who may find it useful.
Savvy
Often profound meaning arrives from the most mundane and the so called ordinary moments in life and living. For the truth is out in the open but our overworked brain often misses these simple truths for it chooses to search for meaning in the complexities. But what is wonderful to know is that all is never lost… for every step makes a difference matters to the whole some how somwhere.
A BEAUTIFUL WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS:
A Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him. To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed the map of the world. He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.
He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map……When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh…. Dad, there is a man’s face on the other side of the paper….. I made the face perfect to get the map right.” She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
There is always the other side to whatever you experience in this world. Whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the other side…. You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem.
A few musings…
The difference between just looking and seeing is so much in the depth and dimension of expansions in our flow of thoughts .An expansion in our acceptability and flexibility changes the seemingly complex situations to simple solutions .:)

You create the state of success
And you never rest on your success
Success is in the courage to continue
Your perseverance, your passion and purpose.
Success is consistently inconsiderate
Success demands much focus
as it supplies momentum
Beyond self limitations and doubts.
True success is the knowing
In your heart of contentment
Of a life well lived and loved
Success is who we are
Success is in each of us
Awaiting a discovery
An unearthing of potential
To sense life’s possibilities
If you believe ur abilities,
trust your instincts and
give it your best shot,
Success is sure to follow…

To dance is to acknowledge the living you at this moment
In every move, the heart and mind is looped in joyousness
In every flight is the beauty of lightness.
To dance is to realize
The sensation of living
And to energize the self
As well as the surroundings
With this gift of life!

A dear child’s dress speaks to a loving mother…
Weathered and worn
I lie here today
In this moment
That you look at me
I know so many thoughts
May pass your way
Memories that only can fathom
Of a time passed long by
You and I
Have lived through
Those days protecting
Your dear child
Through rough weather
Your mother’s affection
I can sense till today
As you would lovingly
Clothe your precious baby
With me
I know we are privy
To those special times
When you child lived in me
Played and fed with me on
How many times
You would carefully wash dry
And iron me out
And keep me clean and warm
All ready for your baby to wear
Your baby may never know me
But you and I
We have a special bond
A recall of those memorable times
That we shared
Until one fine day
She outgrew me.
Today you found me
As you left me
Deep in the closet
Among the old and discarded
But am I glad to be caressed with love
And photographed with joy
And reminisced about…
For in this moment
Your little gesture
Touches my being
For I feel I have served my purpose well
Thank you as well
For choosing me
And caring to keep me with you
All these years and maybe more!!!
With love
❤An old baby dress ❤
Found my daughter’s old baby dress and I was suddenly transported back in time…
Today my daughter is indeed all grown up. I took a picture of this little dress and shared it with my daughter who studies in a land far away…
The nurturing years of her childhood flashed by and I sat down to pen my reflections…
Wisdom speaketh not always in words
It sends forth a knowing of its presence
At times elusive like the spirit of the being, blowing in the wind.
At other like a soul in the living, sensing, emoting in the feeling.
And in such a knowing
Understand the bliss
In the moments
Acknowledge the grace
In the blessing.
Sense its presence
Allow it to communicate
Honour its effects
Respond with all your being.
For wisdom is a deliverance
That comes from the truth in the being
Of life, loved and lived
Giving eternal hope to the living.
Savvy
We may not know how or when.
We may often question why.
We may feel ousted by fate.
Our sense of destiny is at play
But if only we could give
Trust a little chance.
For when the time is right,
Every piece of puzzle fits in perfectly.
For puzzles are meant to fit.

The light shines from above in congruence
On top of the mountain
As much as on the land and trees
The light knows not the difference.
It’s purpose is to shine …
The snow capped mountains receive it
And disperse it in reflections.
And the light melts the snow
To let it flow like a river.
While it’s a different path for the tree.
The tree takes it to grow and bloom
As the light helps the flowers blossom.
Nature teaches amazing grace
To flow as much as to grow
To let go as much as to flourish
Lessons that come in the envisioning
Source is the same
It is all in the choices
In the knowing
What to do
With the source…
All is a perspective of light!

It is Monday morning and a start to a new week! Here is a beautiful story share.
Sunflowers 🌻 turn according to the position of the sun, in other words, they “chase the light.” You might already know this, but there is another fact that you probably do not know!
Have you ever wondered what happens on cloudy, rainy days when the sun is completely covered by clouds?🤔
This is an interesting question, isn’t it?
Perhaps you think the sunflower withers or turns its head towards the ground. Is this what crossed your mind?
Well, that’s incorrect!
This is what happens?
They turn towards each other to share their energy.🌻🌻
Nature’s perfection is amazing; now let’s apply this reflection to our lives. We all want this light and seek it in different ways: in our family, friends, religion, work and so on. But there are always going to be cloudy days, gloomy days, because there is no escaping them!
When this happens, most people become overwhelmed, low-spirited, and the most vulnerable ones, some-times, become depressed.How about following the example of the beautiful sunflowers 🌻 supporting and em-powering each other. Nature has so much to teach us.
Wishing everyone a “Sun flower”🌻 trait of turning towards each other on their cloudy and gloomy days.
Reading this story drew me to another fascinating aspect so visible in the sunflowers. The mathematical order of their spirals, that continue to mystify us in all their glory.
Here is an interesting explanation for such a phenomenon.
Truly are many aspects to the ordinary… and yet simplicities of harmony in the very complexities and chaos of life and living.
