Art of listening

Digg this

 


when you talk to a friend.. are you fully present there.. or is your mind tangled in your own worries.. or

'interpreting' what they are saying to what you think of it.. eager to put your point across.. 'missing' the minute nuances that help say, 'I care'.. for that moment when someone talks to you.. is about truly being 'heard. but we need to judge.. criticize.. Opine.. simultaneously. and in that moment. we 'lose' the essence of what's being said.

Constant fix

Digg this

 


isn't life another form of addiction demanding a constant "fix" . out of control.. with its heady and tormenting highs and lows..waiting for us to find the reserves of strength held within. equipped to deal with the painful withdrawal symptoms..

Darkness

Digg this

 


just like the constancy of the sun, let us recognize darkness as simply our own perception

Frown or smile

Digg this

 


In silent 

moments


with


your


heart do


you feel


a frown


or a


smile


Sparkling shards

Digg this


more beautiful than the music in words is the glimpse of sheer joy pulsing through a heart..

radiant.. irrepressible.. free.. a shower of sparkling shards of sunshine.. dancing to the rhythm of every

pore..

 

Immunity to shame

Digg this

 


atrocities in any garb remain the same.. putting

them in

'boundaries' of classifications like country. class, or culture

we grant immunity to shame..

Laughter

Digg this

 


If someone laughs at you, join them!

Harm

Digg this

 


No one is harming us except ourselves

Miracle pill

Digg this

 


Being in the moment holds the miracle pill to a healthy life

Space

Digg this

 


Why give



more

space in



our

thoughts



to the


people


we

dislike


than the


ones we



love


Empathy and contradiction

Digg this

 


An empathic opinion

satiates our

heart, a

contradictory one revives it

Battlefield

Digg this

 


With a

battlefield in our mind why expend energy on the outside

Make moments count

Digg this

 


Don't count the moments

Make every moment count

A happy story

Digg this

 



We need


to erase

the



frown

that



dots our


brow to


write a


happy


story


Breathe

Digg this

 


For just this moment breathe in the

essence of life
