Flying Free……………..

Image

I got inspiration from one of our Bloggers, Keep it Alive, Sadje and I am so grateful to her that I am writing this poem seeing her beautiful poem. Thank you Sadje.

Flying free

Freeing my mind

From all its unwanted attachments

Flying with the birds

Higher and higher above the skies

Laughing and crying with joy and merriment

A feeling of happiness and calmness

Grows over me silently

A warm and gentle feeling

Calling out to everyone

Come fly freely with me

Just Be Yourself

He is always there with us

Protecting us at all times

Looking at the first rays of light

Freedom taking baby steps

There is nothing to worry about

No troubles and pressure of any kind

Just flying freely with love and compassion………………………….

Choosing a Gentle Way…………………

Image

In this new year

I want to live at a pace that allows

Grief and love to coexist

Without competing for oxygen

I choose to slow down

Lettings mornings unfold beautifully

Going for walks and saying hello and smiling

At everyone who passes by

Letting evenings arrive

Without guilt or remorse

Seeing the twinkling stars shining brightly

I choose to listen more carefully

To my own fatigue

To the subtle signals that say it is enough for today

I am beginning to understand

That rest and being calm is good for me

It is to be loving and kind to myself

This is how I stay present

I am choosing to walk instead of run

To feel the earth beneath my feet

To allow life to meet me fully

Where I actually am

Choosing a gentle way of living……………………

Life’s messages that are Inspiring………………

Image
  • Nothing in the world can dim the light that shines from within.
  • Relations which have to be managed are never true and if the relations are true they are never required to be managed.
  • The world around you is only beautiful when you are at peace with the world within you.
  • May God heal you with His touch of love, bless you with strength, and give you hope each day.  May His goodness and grace overflow in your life, today and always.
  • Everything is temporary, thoughts, emotion, people and scenery.  Do not become attached, just flow with it. Always find time for the things that make you feel HAPPY.
  • Be Grateful for every second of every day that you get to spend with the people you LOVE.
  • If you seek peace, talk less.  If you seek Wisdom listen more.
  • Beautiful line written by a doctor.  There is no happiness in medicine and there is no medicine like happiness.
  • May your cup always overflow with endless peace, joy, favour and many other blessings.
  • Your reaction is not your power.  Your pause is.  When you respond slower, you create space to choose peace over pressure, presence over impulse.
  • Mindset:  It’s all about the mindset.  From the moment you wake up, to the moment you rest your head at night.  Everything is up to you.  Your emotions, your thoughts, your perceptions, your reactions.  Enjoy Every Moment.
  • We do not talk about trees getting older, we say they are growing.  Let us use the same language for ourselves.  We are not getting older we too are growing.
  • Be soft and cool like water.  So, you can adapt anywhere in life.  Be hard and attractive like diamond.  So, no one can play with your emotions.

The Gifts Within Each Season……………..

Image

Each season holds its own quiet grace

A lesson whispered, waiting to be heard

If we simply pause and open our hearts

Spring awakens with tender promises,

Its blossoms a reminder that  

Life endures and beginnings are always possible

Summer drifts in on golden warmth,

Inviting us to linger in abundance,

To taste the richness of the present moment

Autumn drapes the world in fiery hues

Teaching us gently how to release,

To find beauty in what we must let go

Winter arrives in hushed stillness,

Its cold a call to reflection,

Its quiet a gift of patience and inner calm

Every season, in its own way

Offers a treasure to be noticed

A subtle gift woven into the

Ever-turning rhythm of the year.

Gift of the Present Moment………..

Image

Find joy in the here and now

The present moment is all we ever truly have

Fragile, fleeting, yet infinite in its depth

The past is a story our minds replay

Softened or sharpened by memory

The future is a promise

That may never arrive

A horizon we keep chasing

But this moment, this presence

This breath, this heartbeat

This joy that we feel in the moment

This flicker of awareness is real

It’s the only place

Where life unfolds

Where love and kindness are always felt

Where meaning takes root

When we learn to rest here

In the fullness of this moment

We discover that the here and now

Is a precious and wonderful gift

Where all life truly lives

This is the Gift of the Present Moment…………………………

Our Best is Enough…………

Image

If we approach life with love

If our actions arise from kindness

If we are gentle with everyone we meet

And are guided by good intent

Then we have given our best

The world may not notice

May not always see or appreciate our efforts

And outcomes may sometimes not

Unfold as we had hoped

Yet a life well-lived, well-cared

Is not measured by perfection

Not counted in triumph

But in the sincerity of our heart

With kindness and joyousness

In the integrity of our deeds

Let us then try to offer ourselves

With honesty, tenderness and compassion

And fulfillment is then enough

We do not require anything

When we act from this place

We hold no regrets

For we have truly done our best

And in that quiet truth there is a lot of peace………………………

Winter – A Season of Quiet Reflection……………

Image

Winter is a time to slow down

The world softens beneath frost and snow

And even the air moves with intention

Days shrink, nights stretch long and quiet,

Inviting stillness, inviting silence

The rush of life eases,

Demands fade like footprints in fresh snow

It is time to pause, to breathe slowly

To savour these quieter moments

That often pass us by in warmer months.

Winter calls for reflection on what has passed

On what remains

It asks for gentleness for sitting with thoughts

As one might sit by a slow, steady fire.

Even in its coldness, winter carries warmth

By slowing down, we learn to listen

To ourselves, to the world

To the quiet lessons of patience and resilience

That only Winter season can teach.……………………….

Breathing in the Day……………

Image

Breathe and let the world move on

Without you, for a while

There is no need to chase minutes

Or measure yourself by tasks

Sit in Silence for a while

Feel the pulse of your own heartbeat

Hear the gentle hum of life around you

The light of the sun’s rays is shining everywhere

Savor your tea, your coffee,

The warmth of the cup resting in your hands

Notice the pauses

The quiet spaces between moments

The stillness where nothing seems to happen

Slowing down is not an absence of life

Sitting silently with your own self is beautiful

It is life, lived more fully, more happily

Seeing the trees and their branches in silence

A flock of birds flying here and there

Life is moving gently through the hours

Where we discover the beauty in simply being

And you can find joy without all the noise………………………………..

With You By Your Side………….

Image

When my cares grow overwhelming

And my thoughts become unclear

And I feel completely lost

I step outside

Beneath the twinkling stars

Where the night feels brighter

And my burdens begin to lighten

In that quiet moment of peace

I feel your presence guiding me

Subtle and sublime as breath

Patient and content as starlight

Restoring my sense of clarity

And as the sky stretches far beyond

Into its endless stillness and hush

The tangle inside me begins to ease

Thought by thought

Sigh by sign

Calm and at a lovely gentleness

I feel you walking with me

Talking in your tender voice

Reminding me that with you by my side

Even in the vastness I am not alone

That I can keep going

That there is a path forward

Even when I cannot yet see it

With you by my side.………………………….

A New Year’s Blessing…………….

Image

May this New Year unfold with light and promise

May your body feel strong, your mind feel clear

And your heart remain open to possibility

May you awaken with purpose in your breath

And rest at night knowing you did enough

May opportunity meet your effort,

Patience walk beside ambition,

And challenges sharpen you

Without ever hardening you.

May laughter arrive often and stay awhile

May love, old and new, grow deeper, truer

And when the road bends without warning

May you trust the strength you have earned

And the wisdom you carry to guide you.

May this be a year of steady growth,

Honest joy, and gentle courage,

A future that feels not only hopeful,

But open and welcoming too.

May you all enjoy this New Year 2026………………………..
