Gratitude

2015, Goa

Let us start afresh;
It is a new day today.
Stay in gratitude

As I follow my heart, the fire keeps burning within,  guiding and inspiring me to live each moment here and now.
Feeling thankful for positivity in my life.
For the warmth of love in relationships that fills me with joy.
Staying in gratitude for the tiny blessings that sprout in the cold, and warms my heart.

Vision


Gurgaon,2016


Early morning thoughts
blooming on frosted window
just being creative

just being creative
spending time in solitude
trying to look beyond

Trying to look beyond
I could feel it on my skin
Early morning thoughts.

Dense fog. Zero visibility.Today was a perfect winter morning. I tried to clear the frost from my window pane, it was chilling, and then, slowly I started playing with the frost. We can be creative in any situation. It brings clarity to our thoughts.Well, our vision should always be clear.

Dear Diary #MondayMusings


Gurgaon, 2015


Dear Diary,

As I saw you, many memories of yesteryears stirred within. How I wished to write a diary once, but there was a fear, always! What if, someone reads it? (Ofcourse, I know, most of us feel like this.) Afterall, we don’t want to tell everything to everyone.

..and then came a time when I met you. I started sharing my everyday life spilling ink on rough pages. Slowly, you became my habit.

I always felt you, talking to me.

With time I realized, that you were done with my talks, the pages got over, and you became a reflection of my early years.

You know me as I am. Being true to you, was being true to myself. You were my only companion, my best friend. Do you remember, I always said, past is best forgotten? I believe in it still.

I met you again, today, with new pages.  With a lock this time. Do you know, some locks are too easy to open?  Look at yourself. You know it well, but we humans live in this complicated world, and deny simple things. Wish I had some secrets to share. Oh yes, I have lessons that I have learnt. I shall share them with you. One by one.

 Time flies. People change, and habits too, but somethings, I still believe, never change. Our perception changes, and we start looking at things differently.

I know diaries don’t have feelings. We make the pages alive with our stories. It’s we who get attached to them.

~~payal~~

 

P.S. To be true, I never felt the need of maintaining a diary. Eversince, I started writing poems, I have used my diary for poetry writing. Thank you, Deepti. Your gift inspired this post.  I shall use this diary as an art journal.

Beyond horizon

 I don’t know if it’s good or bad, if it’s worth it or not, but I can’t be mad at people for a long time. When our patience is tested, at times we react differently, and regret it later. If we are not happy with our reactions, life always gives us a chance to undo our mistakes, with awareness. I feel, it’s
always good to make a conscious choice of reversing that moment of regret, and be at peace.

2015,Goa
Beyond horizon reached the woods dark;
where the Sun had sprinkled its scarlet hues.
With daggers of actions they left the mark;
for how long will they pay their dues?      
:
Where the Sun had sprinkled its scarlet hues;
in liquid thoughts and distilled dreams.
For how long will they pay their dues?
In frosted breath and wondrous themes.

:
In liquid thoughts and distilled dreams;
reversing a moment of regret.
In frosted breath and wondrous themes
shedding the burden of upset.
:

Reversing a moment of regret;
with daggers of actions they left the mark.
Shedding the burden of upset;
beyond horizon reached the woods dark.
