April 23rd 2025 Stage Performance - A Poem
© 2025 Anjali
The stage and the audience I had it all
From different angles, from different scenarios
They were in school, at home, at workplace, the neighbors, the childhood friends and strangers
They were always looking, the tension within to perform
And the pressure for it to be perfect
The paralyzing fear, even the mind criticizing this being a performance itself
The whirlwind of tornado going around and around
For it to be in itself it is scary to be trapped like that
In the infinite mirrors of hall
But it is seen, acknowledged, and known for it was there for a reason
The fear, anxiety, doubt is also felt for it was the motivation to create it all
I can feel and hear the silence in the midst of it all
May be the storm exists but silence is louder
May be I am waiting for the ultimate performance
But now I feel I can take a break - may be the intermission
The show has come from the stage to the senses
The experience itself rather than creation of illusion
That’s where I rest and there is no audience I am it, I am all
So I rest in that, I rest in that all
And so it is.

I wanted the whole ocean all at once
I was not opening to a drop
And there was so much stiffness and unwillingness
I was stuck, paralyzed in fear, unsafe and unmoved
I was there for a long time and I came to the same place again and again
I said “no” to the drop because I wanted the whole ocean
Then I found help, they said to just see the drop, allow it to be seen
I saw the drop, and then I trusted it and then I took it
And then I saw the next drop, I decided to take that also
Then I saw the next drop, and with all these drops I found the
Well of ocean inside. The expansion and the abundance of fulfillment
I understood, I just needed to take just that one drop!

When the words of wisdoms comes they come as raw and fresh
As a leave sprouts from the tree branch, it is new life new perspective
And a new birth.
It gives rise to a new branch and a new path which is carved,
Earlier i used to believe it is for the other to see
Now I realize it was for me to see, and then I see the expansion
Where there was contraction, I see a new way where I believed it was the
Dead end
I feel the love and support of the all that is, for I feel growth and expansion
And a new person, a new life and a new path.
If it was me to help me to find the way, I feel support from within, the core
Of existence for all that is, so don’t need to find anything outside, the
Wisdom finds me through me to come to me
There is no search needed and I sit still and live normal for the path to find
Me when there is a need to be found
What a relaxing life and self fulfilling! Amen!!!
April 19, 2025 A Dilemma A Poem
© 2025 Anjali
One wants to close the things as it is no longer used and other part within me wants to keep it open believing if I close it I no longer will have access to it and there is a third part which don't want to keep it open fearing the future I will have to pay a price which is not desirable.
The push, pull and screams of different directions creating a drift within, and there is no unification as each screams their own rhythm, believing they are not heard and their needs won't be met
Who do I hear, which path should I take, The restlessness within. I have seen this complex node so many times, it just keeps to muffled inner conflicts which resurfaces again, to be seen to be revisited but where is the peace for all of these parts?
Today I took a stance to listen to the loudest scream, it was frustration and unwillingness to move in one direction so I listened to it and I followed it and took a stance, I took a decision and when the decision was made, all of the parts were satisfied, because the result was all the needs of all the parts were fulfilled in the outcome. Then the scream from inside came "thank you, thank you, thank you", I just needed to hear one of them and all of them were heard by the universe, what a blessing!!!
