Inner Saving Grace

IMG_4911 A few days ago it was 7/31, a day in the calendar commemorating life teachers, guides, Masters and gurus…

Oh ..What of the date! How the need is ever present if the thirst is acknowledged…

Here is my interpretation of a few words by Prem Rawat, an internationally acclaimed speaker on the topic of inner peace …

‘If there’s icy weather all around you, you will feel a bitter chill, right?.. Yes.
Then light a wood fire, cloak in a blanket and warmth can be your saving companion…
This doesn’t make the icy weather disappear but your choice to be in warmth and heat makes all the difference to the ease and quality of your existance..
Walk away from the heat, take off the blanket and you cannot deny the bitter bite of cold!
So find the companions, who in spite of the sad and difficult times around you, dispel the dark and cold…go to your inner source, keep company of your findings of joy and contentment and allow this to shelter you from the cold this world may shower upon you…’

Burdened

Burdened
Weighted
Almost buried…
The turmoil of each day.

Peeking
Searching
Hopefully assertive…
The instinct formed by survived days.

Trusting
Knowing
Resoundingly hopeful…
The infused remnants from days enjoyed.

Reassured
Gratified
Acknowledged…
The understanding from true love.

All in a day
Everyday
The fight is on
The win is claimed…
The gift of conscious living.

Force called ‘love’…

What is this force called ‘love’
Is it a mutual attraction?
Is it opposing forces?
Is it collision and eruption?
Or is it detachment and solace?

It is where life thrives!
It is where color is born!
It is where energy magnifies!
It is where movement is pacifying!
And it is where stillness is energizing!!

When realized in all its facets
Love is discovery
Love is disentanglement
Love is acceptance
Love is actual
Love just is!

Rocks and Gems

Both solid and strong
Yet destined for dust,
Both known for qualities distinct.

Do we look at the differences?
Revel in the similarities?
Or appreciate and acknowledge as is?

The debate is over
A feeling exists.
The knowing is real.

What of the title!
The name!
The concept!…..
All hogwash.

Stand firm as a rock
Acknowledge that you are the gem
Recognize each exists deep within.

Find your gateway
Ask for that one key
And make your way to your mineral core and base.

Rise like a mountainous rock
Crystallize like an uncut diamond.
Know your journey, feel your formation.
Humble yet grand, you are great all along!

Rhythm and the Dancer

Each day you dance to a beat.
Some days a foxtrot
Some days a salsa,
some days your feet cooperate
Some days you trip up..

Then there’s a beat and rhythm
That’s makes you dance without your feet.
This music sometimes your hear, sometimes you feel.
The dancer in you recognizes the beat and all at once the beat and dancer entwine.
Like the soul and its mate they connect with ease,
Always knowing this connection awaited the Master choreographer
Who has patiently presented the dance floor and tools to begin the music..

What a living performance;
Master Choreographer
Student Dancer
And the Music of Maestros…
