The Element of Perspective

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When one finds themselves facing a seemingly impossible challenge,
How we approach the situation has a major effect on our perspective,
For those that see challenges as inconvenient negative experiences unwanted,
Will always have adventures polar to those whom embrace them as a moment of opportunity reflective…

As we all flow through our lives - challenges are elements guaranteed to occur at differing points,
Yet ’tis the element of perspective that creates the differences in how our experiences shall play,
For they’re entwined in a way energetically forever connected throughout our beings,
Irrespective of what the future holds for us - our perspective ’tis always an element guiding our way.

 For as our unique view of all things we may ever encounter in any given moment,
Our perspectives separate each and every facet of our beings and those whom lie beyond,
And though we need remember it is on its own purely just another element,
’Tis infused throughout every other element adjusting it seraphically like dewdrops a frond…

However we also have the ability to adjust our perspectives when need be for ourselves,
When they’re blocking us from thriving or just holding us from what we can’t reach upon the shelves…
Though we may need guidance on how to reinforce new perspective elements in a way that propels,
Us into what resonates into alignment with what it is we feel most compels…

Thus whilst the moment we need to adjust our perspective may vary vastly from being to being,
 Taking rather a long time to acknowledge or be swift, hard, impactful and fleeting,
The support we need for making our adjustments can also come from a variety of sources,
Be they mentors, energetic, online like here at thepoeticlife2.net or from the abundant book based resources…

Remember however, adjusting one’s perspective can take a lot of patience and time,
Otherwise the results will be rather haphazard or in least not sublime,
Thus being subtle in your expectations can be what shall be required,
For forcing ones perspective into a new alignment would most likely leave one nothing but tired.

Idea on a Whim

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
We all have moments in our lives when we desire,
To do something oft’ on a whim that shall later require,
Immense amounts of subsequent consequences to be endured,
And yet into the grasp of said whimsy idea style we still find ourselves lured…

For even though in said moment we believe that our idea on a whim,
Is one incredibly amazing when it happens to occur in our thoughts,
Despite being far from the case later on once we’ve delved in too far to return,
And that we usually don’t actually learn from the endeavour puzzles and contorts…

Thus is an element to why ideas need be researched and developed into plans,
As an idea on a whim rarely succeeds out of the hottest of pans,
Unless it is evolved into something greater than initially intended,
Balanced into existence, grounded and adjusted in a way that can be implemented.

Though we need also remember there’s a difference between ideas and inspiration,
And that an idea on a whim can become a muse of sorts for other creations,
One just need recognise it for what it is not what it appears to illusion,
Allowing one to use it in a way that bypasses the confusion and frustrations.

Now how one goes about evolving said idea on a whim into a muse,
Varies on personal perspective as to what guidance they need use,
Personally my slightly biased preference ’tis at thepoeticlife2.biz 
For where it leads is a way to create in a supported way without needing to be a whiz.
Adjourn to the poetic life 2.biz to start evolving your ideas!

A Mini Mindful Moment Beneath a Gumtree

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Picture a moment ~ you’re gently swinging in a hammock chair,
Hanging from the strong branch of a beautiful gumtree in bloom,
The scent of which isn’t overpowering but surprisingly delicate,
Creating a rather seraphic moment you wish would turn into a lackadaisical afternoon…

The breeze is gentle, but bold enough to blow debris from your aura thus easing your mind,
There’s birds whom are quietly going about their day amongst the blossoms above,
In a way thats causing a few ants to fall from the branches though unbothering,
You cannot help but notice their determination as they venture back to that they love.

Thus as you sip a beverage and enjoy the lull of the supportive chair’s sway,
Your thoughts start abandoning the stressing elements of your chaotic day,
And venture to similar seraphic moments like this you’ve before experienced in this way,
Allowing the feeling they bring to further align in your being so for longer they can stay…

For when we find ourselves in quiet moments of bliss rather seraphic,
We can find ourselves longing to bring them into our lives all the more,
Yet though we may desire this it would throw off life’s balance,
Creating higher levels of chaos than what would otherwise be in store…

So knowing that this moment can be but a moment in your day,
Beverage consumed you venture back into the delightful foray,
Of tasks and other elements that bring balance to your personal lifestyle,
Looking forward to tomorrows moment ~ beneath the gumtree a while…

A Life of Design

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When one truly lives a life they love,
They can reach a point where they stagnate to strive,
This is when we start seeking out faults and challenges,
For stagnation can stop us from feeling completely alive…

Though what if one were to design a life one loves,
In a way that allows one to grow and be challenged as need be?
The too few of us living life to our own design would be the first to admit,
It’s perfectly possible in today's world to not just do this but to adjust it unlimitedly.

However, ‘tis no easy path for one to create a life of design,
And the challenges of it shall differ greatly between yours and mine,
Though ’tis always worth the end result to have endured and overcome rather than resign,
For staying in a stagnating and ungratifying lifestyle is never fine.

   Thus why we often seek out or be otherwise forced to change our lives,
Seemingly external forces find our leverage points and take their dives,
To force us into rather dramatic evolution ’tis for all it strives,
So we can live a life closer into alignment of where our core thrives!

Yet to create a life of design ’tis not a task to attempt alone,
One will need to seek out support and guidance to succeed,
The right support for you however will reveal itself in your moment of need,
It won’t magically appear like a genie from a fast going flat smartphone. 

Despite one’s wish to design their lifestyle urgently with haste,
’Tis a long process one will need to take time to complete with diligence,
And while here at the poetic life 2.0 we can provide a supportive stance,
It only contains mere elements of what into successful lifestyle design one’s required to interlace.

Upon a Summers Eve

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
If one were to venture into the outback upon a starlit night,
One would find ‘tis alive with more than mosquitoes that bite,
For the outback is more awake during a summers night than the day,
As the earth cools a fragment and the wildlife all come out to play…

Kangaroo’s and other herbivores venture to roadsides for a mouthful of the greenest grass,
Often with minimal acknowledgment of the vehicles that may pass,
Whilst pigs root around annoying many a home bound dog,
And nightlights attract Insects to the delight of both gecko and frog.

Rodents hop and scamper trying to find their own feast,
Though they’re on the radar of cat, snake and owl at the least,
Despite being cute the likes of the kultar can be a formidable little beast,
When caught by an unknowing opponent who thinks their own hunger’s to be ceased.

The plants enjoy a touch of reprieve from the heat,
After blistering sun rays have all day long on them beat,
The cool of the moon and the bright twinkling stars,
Providing their enchantment to all whom need venture out often in cars…

For though the outback ‘tis always a rather magical place,
Upon a summers eve is certainly near always the case,
When all whom hide from the heat of each scorching hot day,
Come out into the night to do what they need ‘neath the stunning display of the milky way…

Why We Leave The Seraphic

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
On our paths we often find ourselves facing many a challenge,
For life would be rather monotonous near boring if there were none,
Though we may prefer the easy routes within our comfort zones,
That can actually distance us from our core path and a lot of fun.

For if life were all seraphic moments of bliss with cake and tea,
We’d never grow to grasp the chaotic adventures that await,
Never know the full intensity of what life can have in store for us,
Never experience the ecstatic moments that exist ‘till it’s too late.

Thus why we’re often encouraged to get out of our comfort zone,
By those whom have often already experienced what they’re asking of us alone,
It’s an invitation to become exposed to a new element though you may groan,
For those open to flow lead more fulfilling lives than those mentally set in stone.

Which is why we leave the seraphic on new adventures from time to time,
Though we believe we prefer the mundane bliss to be sublime,
It’s monotony can stagnate our ability to grow and entwine,
With the elements we need to thrive and bloom into ourselves in kind.

Caught in the Unknown…

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When we get an amazing idea we desire to create,
We can be tempted to dive straight in without much thought…
However this may be the worst thing we can do for our ideas,
As when this occurs often in the unknown we can find ourselves caught…

For even our most simple ideas can have elements unknown,
Like if we decide to just wake up and go on an adventure and don’t check the weather,
Get half way to an off grid destination and a storm hit to us unexpectedly,
One’s then stuck with an extra muddy challenge to get home or there.

Thus is why every idea requires an element of research,
Some time to ponder our options and create a doable plan,
Before we jump in and take action to bring our ideas into reality,
Rather than make a mess of what could be something unworthy of the dustpan.

The element however need be just that - an element,
For when a single element takes over an idea ’tis equally tragic,
Irrespective be it research, or creating, or something else important,
If we loose our balance we’re still caught in the unknown, never knowing of what could be it’s whole magic…

So for those with an idea they long to bring to life,
Remember to keep it in balance ~ seek support if need be to stay out of strife,
And for those already lost in minds abyss from diving in to their ideas too soon,
We’ve all been there… thus finding a supporting element may be what pulls it through!
Adjourn here for Idea creation support.

Challenge of a habit…

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When one endeavors to change a habit,
We often waiver and then fall flat…
Yet what if we were to then pick ourselves up - try to implant the habit again,
Rather than leaving it on the ‘ain’t happening’ mat…

Often we hear the lines ‘don’t give up’ and ‘Keep trying you’ll get it next time’,
When struggling through trying to achieve something big or new,
Why not for habits we’re trying to implant in our day to make our lives better?
They can be just as hard - thus all the more needing of the encouragement too.

For sometimes when we’re attempting to change our lives,
What we’re replacing does its best to survive ‘fore the new thrives,
Creating many a challenge we’re often underprepared to face,
Especially if ’tis a new years resolution lackadaisically in place…

Yet when one does keep trying to create said new habit,
One may have times when they feel a bit like a rabbit,
Bouncing erratically between the old and the new,
Until finally the desired element breaks its way through!

Thus to those in this world trying to change their lifestyle,
Be patient, keep trying ~ for habit implementation can take a while,
 ’Tis not simply a seraphic moment of one making a decision to compile,
An element into ones day with a word and a smile;

For the greatest challenge of a habit ’tis getting it to stick,
Otherwise its nothing more than trying something out for a bit,
Yet we often find even months in falling back into the old’s comfort,
That we’re going to be struggling for a longer while with it…

Remember though ’tis what one shall gain in the end,
Once the new element is implemented fully as a habit my friend,
That shall make ones evolution through the many challenges great,
 All worth the mayhem and discomfort to change the path to life’s fate.

To Discovering Bliss!

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
If one were to stay in their comfort zone,
One may wake up a morning to find they’re alone,
Left behind by all once loved whom took a chance,
In the game of life’s ever evolving dance…

Wondering how one could have been so comfortably kind,
Happy in the moment one chose to stay behind,
Never doubting one could live life this way,
Expecting all to follow the example to stagnate and play…

However ’tis not the way humans are designed to be,
We’re curious creators/innovators designed to walk freely,
Connected to Mother Nature in all that we do,
Not shutting away our minds all day through.

Thus as we evolve through our lives never knowing,
Precisely what it is each moment may be stowing,
Despite crafting each moment from the one before,
In a domino effect with possibilities galore!

So as we take a leap of faith and switch off the TV,
Exploring our minds to discover our bliss naturally,
We attract a new vibrance to our mundane lives,
As we create ourselves into a being that truly thrives!

A Mini Mindful Moment: in a Downpour…

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Imagine for a moment; you’re standing on the veranda,
Of a beautiful Queenslander Style home,
Surrounded by an abundance of blue toned gum trees…
The humidity of the day has made their eucalypt smell,
Intensely fill the air ~ though not as bad as the not far away gidgees…

In a moment the sky swiftly darkens to shades off deep charcoal grey,
Whilst the dust filled wind roars through the leaves,
You take shelter in the most secure part of the house,
As the sky seems to literally open up with heavy rain,
You can’t see the trees, for this style of storm can only douse.

The raindrops landing on the roof are near deafening,
Yet the distant lightning’s thunder still grumbles overhead,
And one can still hear the ping of the hail when it starts,
Thus one can only hope that amongst the wind and hail,
That ‘tis only water to be what this downpour imparts…

Presently you notice the rain eases then stops,
Near as abruptly as it began it’s now calm,
Venturing out there's minimal debris but the yard’s inundated, 
Though this much water shall bring the rain lillys up,
Thus for now bowing to mother natures prowess ’tis fated.
