Monologue @ 30K Ft

My consulting career has been a surprising friend in my spiritual path. A lot of my writing has happened at 30,000ft above ground. While I have been the most ungrounded, I felt the most grounded. Those moments of realization when I am between the clouds could have only been put to paper as I couldn't shame them with spoken words. These moments are random but not so random in nature. I suddenly realize things that were unresolved for months or get an answer for a troubling question. But more importantly, these divine moments sometimes just provide a broad perspective on my whole life and provides me more pointers to life's big questions.I have cried for no reason during these flights when I have felt moments of complete alignment and had a small glimpse of what I really am:). I wrote the words below during one of these flights from Chicago to Iowa and in many ways everything made sense for the time that I put pen to paper to write these words.

"Did I do ok?" "You are asking me questions and listening to my answers. I guess you did ok." "What is life all about?" "Magnificience. Reach for magnificience. Look around me. We are all love, its all love."

The Game

Our journey to wholeness is bittersweet in the knowingness that we are already whole,  We seek, when the seeker and God are both within, We have questions when the answers all lie in that space behind our eyes.  What are we heading to?

10 Simple Ways to Infuse Meditation in Everyday Life

Meditation has an overall bad rep. The benefits are widely known but taking out time seems like an arduous task. Most people have a perfect picture of what meditating looks like with someone sitting in a really quiet place, with legs crossed for a good 30 minutes or more. Let's face it, we are all busy and setting aside a block of time may not be always doable. But meditation does not have to be an activity that requires a lot of effort. It is a state of mind and it can be experienced through the day with simple practices. Little bit goes a long way... 1. Make your morning beverage in silence: The brewing of the morning chai is my meditation. I don't hurry through it and participate in the process with attention to each step of the brewing process. Refraining from checking emails or thinking about the morning meetings, the 15 minutes spent in the simple activity of brewing tea sets the calm for my entire day. Whatever your morning beverage of choice is - coffee, tea

Love

I find myself in the silence of your breath, In the rising and falling of it I find myself in the words you never speak I find myself when my fingers run through your hair, When time has no meaning left Neither does my name, nor my body I find myself in the sparkle of your eyes In that deep awareness within us that knows I find myself in the space you create for me I find myself in love...

I see everything

O Universe,  I bare my soul to you But you are my soul In you I surrender Because there is nowhere else to go You are the serence clouds I so love You are the leaves that flutter You are the eyes of the butterfly And the air I breathe, O Universe, you were a stranger to me But not anymore... You are what I was seeking Guess I didnt look at the flower longer Or paused to feel the wind in my face But I see everything now Because everything is you...
