The Little Gestures

This is about the time I experienced a rare sense of comfort and luxury inside a rickshaw!

What was even more endearing was how the rickver said that these days people work majorly on computers and their backs are under stress so this is an effort to relieve that pain if only for a few minutes. Wow.

It's so very much the little things, little gestures and thoughts that add beauty and charm to the overall human experience <3

This is a prompt for every one of us to see how in our work, we can bring comfort and ease for those we serve.

It is the leetle things always, all ways :)

And I open to you

You fall sick
And I open to you
You get vulnerable
And I open to you
You show concern
And I open to you
You get disturbed
And I open to you
You share music
And I open to you
And opening to you moment to moment
I come to adore you more and more

Yes there are moments when I doubt
Yes there are moments that I despise
Yes there are moments when I tear up
Yet there are moments when I hope
Yet there are moments that I desire
Yet there are moments when I wonder
And delight in this impossible possibility
That unfolds itself even as I may think otherwise

Validate

When they validate you personally
They deny you in public
And when they validate you publicly
They deny you at a personal level
All of that validation only for some personal gain
And you simply allow it seeing in it no pain
Gradually to come to see and realise
And come to accept all the lies
That you told yourself all along
Under some god forsaken pretext of always wanting to be around
Just in case

So well
Validation is not something you ever needed anyway
Only an honest witnessing as you are allowed to let be in your own way
Only a gentle presence
A true witness in essence
Who can see and let you see
All that you are and can be
Who can hold and let you hold
All your moments warm and cold
Who can speak and let you speak
Anything you'd otherwise only squeak
Who can...
Not who must
For, a must can only with time rust
And create friction between the you that you are and the you that they see
So if they 'can'
It can, instead, lead to a willing choice
To fill the gap between the you that you are and the you that you see
For, what they see is only a fragment, from their own limitation
But what you see is the only thing that can get closest to seeing it all
So validate all if you will
But let it be in the spirit of letting be

Power

Knowledge is power indeed
But the greatest power comes from love
Because love listens
Love accepts
Love does not pretend or deceive

Affluence, She chased me

Affluence, she chased me
And all I did was flee

Affluence, she looked intimidating
And me, I could only keep running

Affluence, every time she closed in
My heart raced with an unending din

Affluence oh Affluence
What scared me thence

Affluence oh Affluence
You bore upon me whence

Affluence oh Affluence
I wish to run away no more hence

Affluence, she chased I reckon
Towards abundance for me to beckon

Affluence, she appeared intimidating
Because abundance I have been fearing

Affluence, when she got near
To see abundance I did fear

Affluence oh Affluence
You loved me thence

Affluence oh Affluence
Greet me you shall again whence

Affluence oh Affluence
Embrace you I shall hence
