No hurry

No curry 

No worry

The Wise man said

No curry

No hurry

I could comply 

But

No worry

Not in my hands, as

Life was ready with

It’s googlies

And

I never learned

How to play

With age came

Experience

I learned

Problems will be there

But

I’s your attitude

What counts

So 

Stopped reacting

And

Learned to

Respond

With patience and

Care

Life

Still throws googlies

But

As it goes

‘One who keeps cool wins in the end.’

somedays

however you try

a long spell of

drought

hits me

no flow of

emotion

thoughts

words

everything dries up

like dry eyes

dehydrated body

just one anti-allergy pill

everyday

can make

me a total zombie

feel like

a

barren land

Somewhere in the middle

‘somewhere in the middle
of spectrums
I shine alone
as others
take their place
to my left or right ‘
‘Reena Saxena’

Reena Saxena

 colorwash
 of optimism
 I give minds
 clarity
 highlighting the fact
 I’m yellow, not black
 
 contrasting
 hues of opinions
 -transparency
 to see beyond
 points of view
 -in a different light
 
 somewhere in the middle
 of spectrums
 I shine alone
 as others 
 take their place
 to my left or right

PROMPT #172

The theme is

Components of Time

मैं बैठी बीती यादें लेकर 

समय उड़ गया पंख पसार 

मैं ही पीछे रह गयी 

आगे बढ़ गया सब संसार 

समय सिखा  देगा सब कुछ 

इसी भरम में समय गंवाया 

आँख कान सब बंद पड़े थे 

समय तो था हरदम तैयार 

आगे कल और पीछे कल की 

बड़ी है भूल भुलैय्या 

जो इसमें फँस गया न उबरे 

वर्तमान  को ही दे  बिसार 

समय हँसे 

जो  समय न चेते 

उसका जीना है बेकार

Here is the English translation by Reena Saxena

I nursed memories
Time flew ….
I lagged behind
worlds moved

I wasted Tme
with the thought
Time is
the best teacher

I was insensitised
Time – ready to move
I couldn’t choose
between past and future
Present sulked

Time laughs
You waste a life
Ii you do not
wake up in time

The theme is

Components of Time

Your take can be poetic or sci-fi or fiction or a piece of art , whatever catches your fancy.

To whet your imagination a little (actually, it’s more than a little), find 6 minutes to watch the video below.

⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

One second passes faster than I can blink

Yet it can linger an eternity when I’m trapped in time

Days compressed into minutes and weeks into days

All coalescing into one long unbroken stretch of time

Time is what makes all the difference in everything

It is the great equalizer in all things worldly

Whatever we feel is ours to boast of or treasure

Slowly decays into nothingness with the passage of time

Youth or beauty, charm or talent all eroded

Power or even wealth losses it’s importance in

The ruthless grind of…

VJ’s Weekly Challenge: Urge

” “To be a painter you don’t need talent, just the desire.” – Frank Clarke”

Wow! I thought and ordered a lump of clay. Now, I am a novice in this field but the urge to do something was so strong that without thinking I jumped. Watching Youtube workshops it looked easy.

Well, to cut the long story of my difficulties, disappointment, and my decision not to go into it again here is the result.

What do you say friends? just a desire is enough?

What is Lifestyle Medicine? Let’s start at the very beginning[1]

The Art of Health

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” – Thomas Edison

Living well

Once upon a time, our concept of health was simple. Take medicines when you fall sick; for some diseases throughout your life. This was the wisdom of the age and pretty much what we all believed. Over time, however, the concepts regarding health changed to include an approach that might seem like common sense but was anything but common. This is the story of those changes, this is the story of Lifestyle Medicine.

We all would agree that we want to live a life full of energy, vigor, positivity, and peace. However, many of us…

Recently, I have begun work on another WordPress blog in collaboration with a colleague and friend. It’s related to and discusses Lifestyle Medicine: the ability to make substantial improvements to our overall health by changing our lifestyle. Changes like understanding how lifestyle disorders impact us, how our eating habits affect us, how our stress levels are linked to chronic disorders…

The blog is www.blogtheartofhealth.wordspress.com

The art of health is a website on these same topics that I have been designing off and on.

I plan, from time to time, to cross-post links to posts in my other blog. I would request you to go over and have a look and help me share this information to people who might be benefited by it. Since both my colleague and I are doctors, I can attest to the scientific rigor and accuracy of the information we share, so it’s not some random…

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #171

https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2021/02/04/reenas-exploration-challenge-171

We have a dialogue prompt this week …. with a twist.

What is the twist?

You need to take it forward from the perspective of the opposite gender, not yours.

Woman-:  And I always thought it was you, secretly helping and supporting me against all the odds.’ 

‘I can’t be grateful enough for it.’  

Man- ‘It was me indeed… watching you stand there proud and unbending… with my support.
I had foreseen the potential in you. 
I knew that a little support will take you a long way. I did never let you know about my help and support lest it hampers your self-esteem. Mentioned it now because you did.’

Her acceptance brought tears to his eyes.

Who doesn’t likes a little appreciation, acknowledgment, and gratitude?

Never forget .

Just show it, man!
