Kindness propagates like a leaf on a wave (poem)

On Dec. 14, I was in the women's locker room,

a lady walked up and asked, "Was it you singing?"

"You don't know how healing it was, after I got pushed..."

She described her pain, when some lady shoved her in Zumba.

I acknowledged her for being honest with her feelings and sharing them.

Later, her "abuser" entered and this time she expressed it directly onto her.

She came out of her "victim" mode, left empowered and smilingly for her exam.

Next day, she mentioned how nice she felt on passing "that" support to her peer.

When a heart touches another, without touching (poem)

On Dec., 10, I was offering washed-juicy-big-grapes-in-packs
to the nannies with infants in the park, to the lady delivering mails,
to the construction workers with a smile and a sentence of gratitude;
till, I walked across to the FedEx man sitting high inside his huge truck.

"Why are you doing this?", "Is this a part of your culture?",  he asked
"Nobody has ever done this to me,..you don't know what it means to me.."
then in mellow voice (looking at his dirty hands), "I wish to shake hands, but I won't".
I bowed down with folded hands, explained its meaning* and walked away wiping my eyes.

*Namaste - this Hindi word (with a bow) means God inside me bows down to the God inside you

Thought is even more crucial than food (poem)

Definitely the salt, the sugar,
the ghee, the nuts and the purity in vegetables
refine the thoughts generated,
inside in my mind and do help overcome judgments.

Also it is very important to,
eat healthy and exercise the body to stay fit
but what is utmost important,
is to filter away all thoughts than love and forgiveness.

Surprisingly, joy quadrupled on sharing (poem)

I reached my sons school,
and a friend's daughter ran to me.

She had a smile in her eyes,
and her spine was way uplifted with pride.

When I lowered down on knees,
I saw a toothless smile in between her ponytails.

Her beaming joy was in her losing-
a second teeth, right in front and in the lower center.

Her joy was infectious and I caught it,
next day, when I offered her a gift; our eyes sparkled with....

Follow Thy Heart and Create (poem)

Stop wishing for a nurturing meal,
get up, spend time and loving energy to create a meal of your choice.

Stop expecting love in relationships,
forgive, give love and compassion to create relationships that you desire.

Hey, I don't like my reflection in the mirror (poem)

I know we are all exactly one and same.
Yet, very often, I get lured away into believing,
that at this point I am definitely better/stronger than him...
Till, it hits hard on my body - "Hello, he is nothing but a mirror".

Its all in my thoughts (poem)

Whatever is happening in my life,
I can choose to be thankful (in Light),
or to complain (operating under impressions),
my life, my perspective, my experience is in my thoughts.

Whatever I am doing at any moment,
I can either choose to be totally present,
or to be chatting incessantly with my inner self,
my life, my perspective, my experience is in my thoughts.
