A Poetic Moment of Aligning Polarities Amidst a Heatwave

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When temperatures average well above 40 right through most of the day,
Finding ways to survive can be a challenge on its own let alone keeping cool,
Thus when cooling elements are found differences can be at times ignored,
Irrespective it be a river/sprinkler/air conditioning or lounging by a pool…

For ’tis true not just for people when roads start becoming a sticky mess as they melt,
But for those seeking a cooler moment in the ever interesting animal kingdom too,
As in times like these ’tis nothing for birds to bring their babies to rest in the sprinklers mist with the cat,
Cautiously trusting they’re safe though seemingly knowing if they give him his space it’ll hold true.

Or a flock of magpies to join the bush doves and younger kangaroos in a damper spot,
Where water has sat after rain or from sprinklers in the heat of the morn before,
As aligning polarities amidst a heatwave means so many more can continue to survive,
Even if it means kingfishers and magpies taking turns so all get their cooler times galore!

For keeping cool amidst a heat wave in the outback ’tis near an art,
And in its mastering one can make all the difference to all whom thrive,
Whilst as humans we can only observe and support the ways the wildlife seraphically align,
Their polar lifestyles perspectives in a way that allows all cooling moments within their stride!

A Poetic Moment Pondering Our Understanding of Perception Being the Key to Empathy

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Try as we might no two beings can ever share the same view of perception,
Even identical twins with their amazing abilities still have varied perspectives,
Though we empathise and attempt at times to align with the view of another,
Our brain still separates ours from that of the chosen other..

Despite attempts to understand ~ attempts to empathise,
We truely struggle not to clash when polar perceptions arise,
Even when 'tis the perception of someone to which we’re very close,
There’s still little we can do to fully align perspectives beyond our human dose.

At times as these ’tis when well practised etiquette MUST lead our way,
For when it can’t or doesn’t ’tis when to arguments we are lead astray,
Thus mastery of oneself can perhaps be our best solution to this quest,
And being mindful towards those whom in the moment aren’t probably is best.

But how can we possibly achieve this mastery and mindfulness towards others?
When our lives feel already overwhelming ~ making us want to run to our mothers…
Can we really get our minds to permanently master etiquette? Well… No.
As ’tis an ongoing practice needing us to master each moment as we go.

Yet as we learn new tactics and apply them to our lives,
Our ability to master ourselves in each moment grows and thrives,
Becoming easier to conquer this never ending quest for ourselves,
 Though still as humans we all have moments we leave our mastery on our shelves.

’Tis in these dreadful moments we need mindfulness from those we are around,
A silent empathetic understanding rippled out needing not a sound,
Though more often we’re met and mirrored with just the opposite,
Which leaves us wounded in ways that can have affects rippling undesirable from it.

These wounds if left in need of healing for way too long,
Can impact our lives and future generations after we’re gone,
Thus ’tis imperative we strive to heal and make repairs,
Irrespective of the moments we endure ‘are you mad?’ glares.

Yet heal and conquer our mastery of ourselves we MUST,
Despite the rolling eyes we may perceive around us,
We need at times to align ourselves with the warrior we’ve within,
Before our lives for the current day should even really begin!
Adjourn for support to heal energetically from past ‘wounds’

A Poetic Moment Pondering Objectified Empowering of Confidence: The Power of Personal Talismans

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Whilst some where tiaras and gems in their hair,
For others ’tis lucky socks or a bracelet they wear,
As a lot of us have talismans of some kind to empower us more,
Tokens we wear or carry to support our confidence to soar,
Yet why do need them? Why not stand on our own?
Could it truely be we think we cannot do things alone?

Or do we need things to anchor energetics we cannot yet fathom,
To support our endeavours so that they can happen?
For we’ve heard people say that girls can use makeup to hide,
Though perhaps ’tis a trigger for what’s deep down inside,
A way to empower their confidence ~ help it to rise,
Support them through the days/nights/lows and highs.

 Soldiers, great warriors of the past, were often recorded,
To be in possession of things to remind of homes where applauded,
Reminding them of why they left to fight at the start,
Whom ’tis they adore and keep close within their heart,
We’ve tales of hero’s whom drove beyond their natural limits,
Believing what they possessed could empower them beyond summits!

And yet to another our empowering trinkets are often useless,
There’s those that enjoy pointing that out without rest,
Though often one may find even they have or do something,
Perhaps a sacredly timed deep breath, hairstyle or to themselves they sing,
We all have a something or someway that’s just for us,
To empower our confidence to rise from deep within without fuss.

A Poetic Moment Contemplating A Page of Potential 

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
A page, as fresh and unmarked as the skin of a new born babe,
’Tis a symbol of pure potential that can be filled with imagination boundless,
For it is a clean slate awaiting to be filled with one’s creation,
Which never can be wasted even when it’s deemed a mess.

Even a page one may consider to be trash bound,
Has had epochal affects on your journey through this life,
It’s existence at one moment was your best attempt,
Before you tossed it like a steak stabbing knife.

‘Fore the moment you tossed it you learned, you grew,
You adjusted your way of viewing what you had created,
Thus evolved your thoughts on whatever you were doing, 
And on the cycle of that page you have at least now contemplated.

On the flip side a page can hold secrets, never a soul to be told,
They can become great record holders ~ of any linguistic,
The stage for an artwork famed or privately pulchritudinous,
Part of a great story or idea mapped out so fantastic!

A page need not even be marked to fulfil its roll so often inconspicuous,
Many make sculptures and origami creations mind blowingly amazing,
From a humble piece of paper blank, though often from a tree majestic,
This quintessential being of potential can send one’s mind a blazing!

Yet still we see a page as a disposable resource,
Something to just use once and throw into a bin,
Rarely consciously thinking of the being it once was a part of,
Or the overwhelming state we have thrown this planet despicably in.

So perhaps we should all take a solitude sobering moment,
To be grateful of the sacrificial product of trees,
How we can honour their being through use of this paper page,
Rather than mindlessly doing with it whatever we happen to please.
Adjourn to create from a blank ‘Page’ with the support you need for what you create to be seen with greater ease!

From Stuck in Mental Mud to Unstoppable: A Writer’s Path to Flow

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Flowing as a leaf does upon a twisting, raging river that’s winding eventually to the sea,
Words finding themselves on paper through whatever method the writer does please,
‘Till eventually they run aground into a bank of extra sticky mud,
Getting out of this messing spot is likely to be a mega mouthful of cud.

Yet on one must continue, despite the challenges this moment has created,
For stopping now amidst defeat ’tis not something one wishes demonstrated,
So on one sludges gradually with a deep breath and cup of hope,
Praying evidently that this patch of muck’s not a steep slope.

Element by element one seems to find momentum in their task,
Unaware if their making progress or getting absolutely nowhere fast,
Thus on they drive themselves, determined to be free of their bind,
Free to flow further along the path they’re upon to see what adventure awaits in kind.

Finally they grasp a momentary splash of perhaps illusionary freedom,
Hoping what they perceive ’tis not also sinking or seldom,
One reaches for another word, another grain of momentum, 
Rising above this sludge has been nothing but excruciatingly fun.

Eventually, word by word, grain by grain of super sticky sand,
One assesses their progression to unglue their task at hand,
To discover they’ve crafted themselves into an unknown solution,
And freed themselves once again to flow further towards fruition!
Adjourn for support through times when stuck in mental mud And beyond!

A Poetic Moment Pondering Our Ability to Endure 

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When we’re working towards a goal or on a project that takes a lot of time,
We often must find ways to increase our endurance levels,
As otherwise we may never reach our moment of fulfilled manifestation,
If the marathon to accomplish it takes our stamina and hastily dishevels it…

Thus why one needs to be mindful of their ability to endure through one’s marathon,
Taking a moment when necessary to replenish thy being whenever need be,
As burnout can increase overwhelm and stresses one can unnecessarily put upon oneself,
Leaving failure to give the illusion that it will be the one winning imminently.

So as another milestones deadline brings it’s challenges to ones already loaded day,
Remember ’tis mostly an illusion that one’s mentally losing in this foray,
For often we just need to see things from an adjusted perspectives view,
To unveil a way to greater ease of enduring through this one too!

And though we often bring these sorts of challenges upon ourselves,
We still need to endure thru them to evolve ourselves from their conquering,
Sometimes we need to endure them from varying facets of their existence,
Until we learn and thus evolve so as no longer in their perspective we find ourselves wandering.

A Poetic Moment Pondering the Importance of Conquering Challenges

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Upon our path through life we often face an abundance of challenges,
They guide us into the wiser beings we shall eventually become,
Though there’s times when the challenges we face feel unconquerable,
Yet we still get through them learning lessons often invisible though never none.

Thus we go forth learning all we can to conquer the challenges we’re yet to face,
Despite never knowing what they may be or where/when they will occur…
As when they do hit we need to be as ready as we can be,
For being ready for the unknown as ’tis possible is what we’re told to prefer…

Though how important is it for us to actually conquer and learn from our challenges?
Is it not also important to be defeated by them at times?
Can't challenges sometimes just be telling us something is not meant for our path?
As polarity cannot always allow for life to be sweet and sublime.

However irrespective if we conquer the challenge we face or not,
’Tis how it supports our evolution that is more to this elements key,
For all the challenges we face are designed in a way that helps us grow,
Pushing us ~ often uncomfortably ~ towards the version of ourselves we need to be.

Thus next time one is facing a challenge that’s uncomfortable and rough,
Perhaps take a moment and asses what the purpose of said challenge is potentially,
As it may enlighten a path through one may not have noticed before,
Allowing one to endure and learn what is needed in greater ease subsequently.
Adjourn for energetic support thru challenging moments

A Poetic Moment Contemplating Mastering the Art of Idea Sharing for Greater Manifestation Success

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
When one’s an idea they’re obsessively passionate about,
They may want to scream it to the entire world,
However, despite the fact most of the world wont want to listen,
The moment one should fully announce their ideas is probably best left until it’s unfurled…

Yet keeping what we desire to manifest bottled away inside of us alone is unhealthy,
Thus picking whom one tells and what details to keep to oneself is a heavy key,
For the moment we tell too much to the wrong person it may be over rather quickly,
As sometimes those we trust can eradicate our creations/plans or make them theirs and flee…

So when we divulge an element of what it is we desire to bring into the world,
One way to safe guard the whole manifestation ‘tis by questioning before we speak,
A simple ‘what to tell or not to tell’ moment in our thoughts can save all we’re working upon,
Lightening the weight of keeping it all to oneself whilst still keeping its unique components secretly complete…

For even when we’ve a team to support us through whatever we happen to be doing,
Each only knowing what they need to know allows the other elements to be sacredly stewing,
Which gives the universe it’s space to work on it’s elements whilst the others are queuing,
In ways we may never understand through the plot twisting challenges it tends to like slewing!

Thus whom we tell or don’t tell and what ~ whilst ’tis a quintessential decision for us alone,
We need to remember manifesting can be rather negatively impacted from our decision,
Despite the positive support we can be given from imparting the right elements to others,
’Tis a rather intricate element that we need undertake with the utmost nuanced precision.
Adjourn For Support to manifest your ideas into reality

A Mini Mindful Moment Birdwatching in the Australian Outback

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
If one were to venture into or visualise a shrubby area of the Australian Outback,
Then take a slowed deep breath whilst finding themselves a comfortable spot to stay awhile,
One may experience an abundance of enchanting things that most on a bush walk,
Would pass by with minimal notice due to their focus and walking style…

Such as the colourful wrens and finches whom flit through the bushes with grace,
Shade spectrum’s of violet thru blue ~ yellow, shades of brown and reds too,
Hopping from branch to twig near unnoticeable to the alternatively distracted eye,
Like fairies going about their day through the blue grey bushes where we’ve near not a clue.

For bright green parrots and budgies may be obvious as the fly by our heads,
And cockatoos in their colourful array are as easy to spot as the Major Mitchel and Galah,
Yet the likes of the bush doves and honeyeaters join the smaller kingfishers in being lesser seen by far.

As to experience the delight of seeing one of these more infinitesimal varieties of birdlife hidden away,
One need be mindful of the seraphic location and be quietly lackadaisical yet alert to their way,
For if one can venture beyond the illusion of these delightful beings being rare,
One may be in for an enchanting experience that can be mystifyingly magical to compare!

A Poetic moment contemplating supportive elements

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Sometimes when we desire a thing we throw all we know at it…
But too often it still just doesn’t seem to work ~ results don’t transpire…
Leading us searching for answers and often coming up naught,
Having us near in tears wondering what else it could possibly require.

This is why we need an element of support when we create and manifest,
A guiding light to point us towards necessary elements we’re otherwise blind to seek,
Holding us on our path when the way gets us jolted beyond our abilities,
Shouting through the illusion when our way seems lost/undoable and meek…

Thus why when contemplating supportive elements that resonate with our goals,
One should remember though they may know how to get to the end near with ease,
They’re there to guide YOU to YOUR END RESULT despite similarities between,
It’s YOUR evolution through THEIR guidance that need be the focus that succeeds.

Keeping this in one’s thoughts one then is faced with the task,
Of finding the mentor/teacher/course/friend/group/element that ’tis a match,
That fully resonates with the supportive element you need for the tasks that lie ahead,
Thus finding one that can do the majority of what you need them for is a rather rare catch.

This brings our moment here to a point where one may question where they may look to find,
Support for the elements needed to manifest through ideas, creation and beyond,
Which can all be found through the gem that is thepoeticlife2.biz 
Though ’tis not for the lackadaisical at heart ~ shall still guide you from ideas seed,
To manifesting with as much support as you need to whatever for you fruition is.
Adjourn to create from where ever you’re path’s at with support
