BEAUTIFUL SOLITUDE

 BEAUTIFUL SOLITUDE  

Love your solitude 
A very loving attitude 
For solitude is bliss 
Fills your heart with happiness .

Love your solitude 
Walk alone in calming quietude 
Your path is your own 
No place for the unknown 

Love your solitude 
For in it you sing gratitude 
Gratitude to God within 
Love lights up to the brim .

Love your solitude ,
Don't self pity in mute ,
Enjoy your inner  voice .
Its echo needs no noise .

Love your solitude 
Silence speaks multitudes .
It awakens the sleeping soul 
Helps you reach your goal !!!

GOD YOU ARE AWESOME


GOD YOU ARE AWESOME 

God you are awesome 
I know I am trouble some 

I do what I want to do 
Hardly listen to your clue 

Still you carry me in your lap 
When I slip in my created gap .

You love me no end 
Despite my uncanny trend ,

God you are awesome ,
You never forget to come !!!!!!

MORNING MIRACLE OF GOD



                         MORNING MIRACLE OF GOD 

" There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground."-Rumi 

Our Mother Earth is full of  grandeur of God .Each morning we need to reconnect with the wonder around us .Early mornings are private times one can spend with nature and revel in its awesome glory which is at its best in the early morning hours .Our mind is also fresh and so is the morning air .

To walk at dawn when the nights darkness begins to dissolve to give birth to a new day is a way of giving way to new possibilities in  life. Mother Earth needs our attention and we need her to recognize her not as a surface to walk on but to enjoy the myriad of colors and sounds it radiates ,the soulful vibrations it creates in her sacred self nurturing so many life's in her bosom .

Morning walk is  highly beneficial for health. The dust free air enters our lungs. Happy hormones surge  It is a panacea for many diseases and is known to lengthen our life. it is  also spiritually  enriching and a great energizer for the whole day .
I spent my childhood on a farm far far away from the city .After qualifying I lived in a village for  over 35 years out of choice serving in a rural medical  institute ,hence have been blessed to live in the lap of nature ,no wonder I have fallen in love with nature .
I share my morning walk musings here in this poem .Waiting to hear your feelings and experiences of your  morning walks .

  Walking at dawn 

The moon had gone 
Sun rays emerged 
Radiated in space 
To bless us all 
With their divine grace 

Sky changed colors 
Grey, orange and red 
mingled like lovers 
Black had fled 
Clouds embraced 
As darkness was replaced 

The birds  tweets 
Chirped to greet 
A glorious new day 
La de da Is on its way 
Cool winds whizzed past
Whispering freshness will last 

Branches swayed 
Merrily up and down 
Singing good morning 
To all creatures around 
Leaves danced 
Kissing each other 
With a loving glance 

Buds no longer felt shy 
Bloomed happily with dewy eye 
Morning glory temptingly spread 
Their dainty colorful heads 
Butterflies pranced 
In a playful dance .

The earth smelt pure
Misty fragrance for sure 
In this miracle of the divine 
My body mind and soul 
Rejoiced  in Gods shine 
HE was here HE was there 
HE was in my heart 
HE was everywhere 

My happiness soared 
More then a million fold
God you are  amazing 
My heart kept on praising :):)

SONG OF THE RIVER


Mysteriously my freshness flowed 
from the sunny mountain head 
I came running down the slopes 
into the valleys I spread 
giving life to many on my way 
and dancing with the sun rays 
I swayed in curves and turns 
and many a lessons I learned 
to flow with ease and not fight 
at natures vagaries and my plight 
I was destined to join the salty sea 
and become ONE with it merrily !!!

IS A CLEAN HOUSE A SIGN OF WASTED LIFE ?




IS IT ONLY THE WOMENS JOB TO TIDY UP THE HOUSE 
No I don't mean  our inner house so please stop frowning 😄 Your heart  your inner house needs to be in perfect order  always to live with content and peace .Women all over the world are waging a never-ending war  spending umpteen hours of life tidying up their homes doing  household chores ,looking after their children and  job .How important is it to deny oneself the little pleasures of life just because they have so much to do where as most men don't spend half as much time in house cleaning .So is a clean house a  sign of wasted life .



CLEANING IS MUST BUT IN THE PROCESS DO NOT RUST 
A “clean house” isn’t merely about picking up dirty socks or putting away the dishes. It is about making a home that is warm and inviting, comfortable and comforting; creating a space where we all like to hang out and as a family feel ensconced.Help your family learn that their combined efforts at accomplishing chores can remake their home into an oasis from the chaos of the outside world.Its just a question of change of attitude and habits most of the times .Try to find a schedule that works for all to pitch in their efforts Clean as you go needs to be the motto!!!!

MOM CAN WE PLAY DONKEY ASKED MY LITTLE BOY WITH A BALL IN HIS HAND 
( It's playing catch-ball. When you drop the ball, you get a “D” the next catch you drop, you get "O” and so on) I gave him a not so good look rolled my eyes looked around the house.There were dirty dishes in the sink ,hampers overflowing with laundry,living room strewn with toys ,buttons to be stitched on school uniforms and a small nap I was longing to have later .He tugged at me again"mom  please "I  didnt know if it was guilt for not giving him enough time, but I  decided to abandon “Operation Cleanup” and I smiled and said  “Ready for the game?”😄


WHAT DO YOU THINK BRIGHTENS  UP YOUR DAY 
Spending time cleaning your house all the time or watching  your kids playing on the merry go round  .This time will never come back for them and  for you .Enjoy it. trust me, they won't remember or care if the dishes sat in the sink all day. Or if they wore the same shirt two days in a row. Play with them and forget the rest. You can always clean when they're asleep, or take a day off once a week. Special  play  time is indeed a special time and is distinct from other times in your child’s life.  Leave the housework. It's really NOT that important 😄


YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN ON CLEANING AND ENJOY LIFE MORE 
We distinctly regret why we didn't enjoy our children's growing up more? Why we treated responsibilities as a chore and not as something to look forward to?Why we didn't create more happy memories and pursue our hobbies?  Why didn't we worry less about the living room ? Why  we did not play more when they were young Cleaning cooking teaching took away all the fun .Good moms have messy floors ,dirty ovens ,laundry plies and happy kids Perhaps the quote ‘A clean house is the sign of a wasted life’ might have a grain of truth in it, after all.

SPENDING TIME WITH THE FAMILY IS PRICELESS 
Many women lament their life work balance and time for their families specially when they are working . When they are home they are literally on their feet with no quality time with family and kids .Eating and sharing joys and and defeats of the day and doing household chores together ,watching movies sharing popcorn ,all these can form great family moments to cherish .Remember nobody on their death beds regrets not having kept the house spic and span but they do regret not having spent enough time with their families .

DUST IF YOU MUST BUT THEN YOU CANT WRITE I LOVE YOU ON YOUR FURNITURE 
Remember a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it. A house becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the  furniture. After  spending hours making sure things are perfect in case someone came over finally  you realize one  day that no-one comes ;they are all out  living life and having fun! And even when they do you don't have to explain the condition of your home They are interested in hearing about how you've been  living life and having fun.If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed the advice in the lovely poem here .


DUST IF YOU MUST BUT DONT DIE WITH REGRETS 
Eventually  we are  all going to mix with dust and  something you love is going to be taken away , we will fall to the floor crying and thinking looking at the place where the wall meets the floor and  realize  why we didn’t paint it very well. You knew it would happen  one day .Time passes by like a hand waving from a train you wanted to be on but you miss it just because you didn't get your priorities right on your journey of life .What do you have to say ? Do you want to stand on the platform and wave happiness away? 



ARE YOU OBSESSED TO KEEP A CLEAN HOUSE OR ARE YOU TAKING TIME OFF TO ENJOY LIFE ?  
Did you  ever  tell your child,we will do it tomorrow, and in your haste never saw his sorrow ? Did you  ever loose touch with a friend and let  a good friendship die because you never had time to  call and say "Hi"? Did you ever follow the butterflies flight or gazed at the sun during twilight ? Did you relax in bed or in your head you were worried about how to cope up with the hundreds of chores lying ahead ? life is short remember this musical tic tac of your heart won't last forever so don't dance so fast ,just slow down and enjoy the green grass .
