the road less taken

sometimes the roads less taken... are the ones that takes us back to re discovering the true essence of our being #mythoughtblurbondesign

discovering passion

wish some things were born out of sheer passion instead of applied logic, makes me respect the primeval times when discovery & passion went hand-in-hand #mythoughtblurbondesign

jello story

if only life came in a semi-transparent case like jello, we would know exactly what to expect without ever unwrapping .. but then, will jello be a jello? #LifeInColor #mindbogglers

one moment in time

my feet submerged in white sand

my eyes watching the sun rise

a fish swims to drop a hello

the cold waves move me

taking the shore sand along

opposites mirroring, reflecting

enchanted, they smile at each other

a silent rendezvous at the horizon

a union of the yin and the yang

an unspoken language

only an open heart can see

sometimes shallow, sometimes deep

yet mesmerizing and calling

touching all my senses

a chance, a leap of faith

takes me farther than I can imagine

feeling the wonder, the roots

of what lies beyond my understanding

that moment when it seems

in my grasp, the next I lose it all

no matter the closeness

still see the vastness in my mind

all that I pictured is real

has a life of its own

still cannot fathom the beauty

the strangeness of me in it

the closeness of it all

tasting the sand, the salt and my passion

absorbing the sun, the moon and the blue

soaking the scent in the air

 astound with zilch

one with the blue

one with the moment

one with myself

a new light

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. 

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant  gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doses not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the Glory of god that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. 

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

By Marianne Williamson

Finding new definitions

Yes! Everyone wants to be the first in every race but not experimenting in life. Well, not that I go out of my way to make this statement true but I do try it sometimes and it has worked wonders for my spirit and my esteem. There is a phase in life when one needs to make rational choices and I have done that too… Then there are days when one takes a break and simply forgoes all the fears and drowns into the sea of momentum… the rest of them are plain lazy to even get on their feet and jiggle… all one needs is a nudge and they are set to go .. what stops us from doing anything is lack of acceptance and that finger that points at you because you are different. I guess its time we shed the clothes of skepticism and just be the best that we can be … and that is …

 “Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.”  ― Harvey Fierstein

Fools rush in

I heard this song in a film titled 'Fools rush in' and I just fell in love with the lyrics. It resurrected my years as a teenager complaining and bragging about my folks, times when I fought with my angels over a silly remote, begging to help me out with my journals, whispering in the dark below the sheets after ma turned off the lights, gazing at the sky when all went asleep, aspired to be a doctor, then a writer and then an officer diving into the blue sky, lost and found I wondered like everyone else ...

Go ahead, you must read it too ...

When I was younger I believed, that dreams came true.
Now I wonder.
Cause' I've seen much more dark skies, than blue.
Now I wonder.
I keep on praying for a blue sky, I keep on searching through the rain.
I keep on thinking of the good times, will they ever come again?
Now I wonder.
Now I wonder.
I keep on praying for a blue sky, I keep on searching through the rain.
I keep on thinking of the good times, will they ever come again?
Now I wonder.
Now I wonder.
When I was younger I believed, that I could win.
Now I wonder.
There was a time when you and I, walked hand & hand.
Now I wonder.
I keep on searching for the old me, I keep on thinking I can change.
I keep on hoping for a new day, will I ever feel the same?
Now I wonder.
Oh I wonder.
Now I wonder.

Motherhood

All these years I was confined by the bond of motherhood, the moment this bond slipped out of my hands, I realize that it was, not just a bond but a relationship that I never chose but it had a composure that none of the other relations, that I choose would ever have, she helped me to see this world even when she did not know me, she carried me all the way with a smile on her face and pain in her eyes which hardly anyone noticed because they anticipated me not the pain she went through, she did things that she despised just to nourish me when I was within her just to be certain that I was fine, she cried when I sought to step out from the darkness to the world of light but when I opened my eyes, I saw her smiling at me forgetting the moments of pain, apprehensions and all that she had to undergo all this while, her face was glowing with contentment, she was no more a woman but my mother whom I knew now and I gave her a sense of creation, a sense of wholeness within herself as she attained motherhood.
