• Think Before You Speak

    Think Before You Speak

    Many believe we either espouse, retort,
    respond instantly without thinking
    in anger or in passion.
    Obviously, they recommend against it.

    They suggest we digest, and think
    about what we’re about to say before we say.
    So they say.

    But the truth is,
    it’s not just one or the other.
    There is a third conscious option.
    A more balanced and harmonious choice.
    To be aware of what we are about to say.

    It’s just that simple,
    awareness is a reminder,
    a soft touch towards the present,
    to trust in our intuition,
    which comes from our gut.
    That’s our intuition,
    not our instinct, as some call it.

    This simple active awareness,
    is intentional, purposeful, deliberate,
    yet honest and genuine.
    It is naked truth.

    A gentle reminder,
    an awareness of the
    meaning and power of our words.
    No need to analyze, overthink,
    nor blurt, respond by default in a reflex.

    Simply pause to be aware
    of the words we speak, to create.

  • Some and Some

    Some and Some

    Some ignore it all,
    Some count wounds,
    And some count lessons.

    Some seek beauty in the mundane,
    Some find solace in solitude,
    And some revel in the chaos.

    Some dance with joy in the rain,
    Some embrace the stillness of night,
    And some chase the dawn’s first light.

    Some build bridges from broken pieces,
    Some heal others with their own scars,
    And some shine as beacons through the dark.

    Some act with kindness,
    Some whisper wisdom,
    And some create words.

    Some plant seeds in barren soil,
    Some nurture dreams against all odds,
    And some inspire hope in weary hearts.

    Some find strength in vulnerability,
    Some forge unity from diversity,
    And some spark change with a single act.

    Some paint stories on blank canvases,
    Some compose melodies from silence,
    And some sculpt beauty from rough stone.

    Some embrace the unknown with courage,
    Some question to seek deeper truths,
    And some re-imagine the world anew.

    Each path is unique, yet none supreme,
    All threads in life’s lotus flower,
    A symphony of human experience.

    Some lead, some follow, some walk alone,
    Yet all move onward in their time,
    Each step is valid, each journey whole.

    In laughter, tears, or silent thought,
    We navigate our inner worlds,
    No way lesser, no way greater.

  • Axis Mundi of The Mind

    Axis Mundi of The Mind

    In the cosmic loom of existence,
    You stand at the nexus
    Of all realities.
    Nine spheres of truth
    Radiate around you,
    An eight-point star
    With a beating heart at its core.

    Front:
    Your life unfolds,
    A river of moments.
    But as you watch,
    The current shifts.
    Are you shaping the flow,
    Or shaped by it?
    Observer and observed,
    Forever tangled.

    Behind:
    Paths untaken shimmer and fade.
    Step in,
    And this becomes your only truth.
    Yet infinite
    Yous walk infinite paths,
    In worlds you’ll never know,
    But always are.

    Right:
    The Liar’s realm,
    Where truth bends like light.
    Here, belief shapes reality itself.
    But once you’ve seen truth as malleable,
    Can you ever trust
    Your own perception?

    Left:
    The Dreamer’s domain
    Of infinite possibility.
    Imagination and reality,
    Indistinguishable.
    Create a world,
    and you’re forever changed.
    The dreamer and the dream
    Become one.

    Above:
    The Void,
    A sphere of pure nothingness.
    Challenging existence
    With its emptiness.
    Why is there something rather than nothing?
    In absence,
    Find the essence of being.

    Below:
    The Collective,
    Where all minds merge.
    Individual thoughts
    Ripple through the whole.
    Are you one,
    Or are you many?
    In unity,
    Discover infinite diversity.

    Forward:
    The Paradox,
    Where contradictions thrive.
    Logic fails,
    Reason bends,
    understanding crumbles.
    Here,
    Opposites coexist in harmony,
    Revealing the limits
    Of mortal comprehension.

    Backward:
    The Unknowable,
    Beyond all grasp.
    A realm that defies
    Perception and thought.
    In the face of the truly
    Incomprehensible,
    Find humility
    And wonder anew.

    Center:
    The Heart’s realm,
    where emotions pulse.
    Love and fear
    Shape the very fabric of being.
    Here,
    Feeling is the ultimate truth,
    And empathy bridges all divides.
    Observer and observed
    Unite in understanding.

    In this cosmic mandala
    Of realities,
    Each sphere calls
    With its own truth.
    Choose one,
    And reality collapses,
    Yet all persist
    In infinite possibility.

    Are you the same
    In every sphere?
    Or reborn with each choice
    You make?
    Perhaps you’re split, experiencing all –
    A quantum self
    In grand superposition.

    Time flows uniquely
    In each domain,
    A heartbeat here,
    An eon there.
    Once you’ve glimpsed these myriad truths,
    Can you ever return
    To where you began?

    In this paradox
    Of infinite being,
    Where every choice is true,
    Yet bears a cost,
    Where reality fractures
    And reforms,
    Which sphere
    Will you call home?

    Or will you stand
    At the crossroads of all,
    In this moment that contains eternity?
    For perhaps
    The deepest truth is this:
    The choice itself
    Is our ultimate reality.

  • Triangle of Love

    Triangle of Love

    When hearts blend,
    A sacred I to I fusion,
    Love sculpts a pyramid of light,
    A lighthouse to shield and elevate.

    To safeguard:
    Love lays its foundation,
    Stone by stone.
    A jasper of kindness,
    An amethyst of forgiveness.
    A sapphire of understanding
    And an opal of empathy.
    An amber of welcoming warmth
    And a pearl of gracious hosting.
    A diamond of unblemished honesty
    And an emerald of unwavering truth.
    A topaz of unshakeable trust,
    Gleaming with loyalty’s golden dust.

    A rose quartz of friendship’s tender bloom,
    And a garnet of passion’s fiery hue.
    A moonstone of intuition’s gentle glow,
    And a citrine of joy that helps love stretch.
    A turquoise of open communication,
    And a lapis lazuli of deep admiration.
    A jade of serenity in stormy seasons,
    And a ruby of courage to face life together.

    Love’s hands keep crafting
    Till the triadic fortress
    Stands complete.

    To soar:
    Love lifts them
    Through the pyramid’s heart,
    Each gemstone’s light
    A guiding star.
    Amethyst’s glow and jasper’s warmth
    Illuminate the path they’ll grow.

    Sapphire wisdom
    lights their ascent,
    Opal’s empathy,
    Amber welcome,
    Pearl’s grace,
    As diamond truth
    Makes their love shine.

    Rose quartz friendship
    Paves the way,
    While garnet passion
    Ardor.
    Moonstone intuition
    Glimmers vividly,
    Citrine joy
    Suffuses their shared light.

    With each step up,
    They rise anew,
    Their bond grows stronger,
    Tried and true.
    At the apex,
    They stand hand in hand,
    Their love a beacon across the land.

    Love: both roots and wings,
    Anchoring deep,
    Yet lifting high.
    A prism of emotions,
    Refracting light,
    Painting their world
    In vibrant hues of devotion.

  • Journey on

    Journey on

    There’s a question
    Most never ask
    Simple, yet profound
    The key to your path

    How do I get there?

    Some chase wealth
    A million in the bank
    A mansion on the hill
    A fancy car in the drive

    Others seek contentment
    A family’s warm embrace
    A life of quiet joy
    Just enough to get by

    But whatever you choose
    Whatever life you crave
    This question burns bright
    Like a guiding flame

    How do I get there?

    Without it, you drift
    A leaf on the wind
    Reacting, not living
    Surviving, not thriving

    You turn left for a fallen tree
    Right to avoid the wolf
    Dizzy from the dance
    Of life’s random tune

    But ask the question
    And the fog lifts
    Your road becomes clear
    Your steps find purpose

    How do I get there?

    It’s not a secret
    It’s not profound
    It’s the map you draw
    The compass you follow

    Don’t be hypnotized
    By the world’s noise
    Create your identity
    Choose your own voice

    When you know the way
    Obstacles become challenges
    Your authentic self emerges
    In harmony with your dreams

    Journey on,
    With purpose in your stride
    For you’ve asked the question
    That lights the way inside

    How do I get there?
    Now you know.

  • Curiosity’s Flame

    Curiosity’s Flame

    In the quiet corners of existence,
    A spark flickers, unbidden.
    Underlying said phenomenon is that,
    Without being wanted or sought for,
    It grows into a flame of self-inquiry
    That not only makes one discover
    What lies beneath our shadows,
    But also truths we do not know about.

    We are young kids again
    Eyes wide with the world’s vastness.
    Every inquiry is a pebble tossed
    Into the pond of existence,
    Ripples spreading,
    Running on shores we have never reached.

    The fire inside
    Burns layers of uncertainty,
    Dissolving all the cozy fallacies
    We surround ourselves with.

    To question is to bridge
    The gap between self and other,
    Side by side with the pitiful gesture
    Of one’s own fingers pointing towards nothingness,
    Between the known and mysterious.

    In asking, we are stripped
    Like a newborn baby becoming vulnerable,
    Yet even as powerful as old men of knowledge.
    As we shed off clothes of curiosity,
    The real us stands out ‘naked’.
    Here, our truest essence is revealed.

    May this fire burn brightly,
    Let it destroy the walls
    We have erected around our hearts.
    It is here that we find traces of wisdom
    (Because they have been revealed) amidst burning beliefs;
    Seeds which need light to grow.

  • Egg of the Unknown

    Egg of the Unknown

    Darkness of the unknown
    Lays an egg that goes astray.
    A crystal tear, and an honest smile:
    Praise the believer,
    And forgive the blind.

  • Calling You

    Calling You

    I am calling you
    To a life well remembered
    Yet strangely forgotten

    I am calling you
    To dive within your depths
    And soar among the stars

    I am calling you
    To feel the world’s pulse
    And ignore its clamor

    I am calling you
    To listen to the silence
    And hear your truest self

    I am calling you
    To surrender your doubts
    And connect with the infinite

    I am calling you
    To a consciousness unexplained
    A dream within illusion

    I am calling you
    To wield your imagination
    Unaware of its boundless power

    I am calling you
    To witness a beauty
    No lens can capture

    I am calling you
    To hear a melody
    No instrument can play

    I am calling you
    To the physics of the intangible
    Where solid matter dissolves

    I am calling you
    To the death of old beliefs
    And the birth of new wisdom

    I am calling you
    To answer with your entire being
    To this timeless, formless summons

    Where sympathy thrives
    And forgiveness flows gently like a stream.

    And
    As I spread
    This love with you
    Within that divine space
    Where love makes do
    And becomes us,

    I wish for you
    A spirit that knows not fear,
    Unencumbered by negative thoughts,
    But rather grasping life’s great adventure.

    I wish
    All your wishes come true.
