Let the Wind Lead.....

 

    There was a time I feared change. I used to hold on tightly to routines, to expectations, to people. But life, as I’ve come to learn, is like the wind Shelley speaks of in Ode to the West Wind wild, purposeful, and always in motion. And now, instead of resisting it, I choose to rise with it.

    Shelley’s wind doesn’t only destroy it clears space for something new to grow. That image has become a symbol for me. These days, I no longer argue with what life brings. I don’t waste energy on asking “why me?” or trying to control every outcome. I’ve trained my mind to move with the rhythm of change to accept, adapt, and evolve.

    This shift didn’t happen overnight. It came from experience from moments where life surprised me, pushed me, and at times left me speechless. But slowly, I understood, what feels like chaos often becomes clarity. What breaks you down also builds you. Now, when the winds of life blow hard, I don’t anchor myself in fear I open my arms and rise.

    I welcome change. I trust that every ending carries the seed of a beginning. I let life shape me, not with resistance, but with resilience. I no longer feel the need to fight or prove anything. I remain grounded in who I am, and at the same time, open to becoming more.

    Just like the West Wind, I move forward with strength and purpose clearing what no longer serves me and embracing every new season with hope. Because life isn’t about standing still it’s about flowing, growing, and flying free.

Let Me Sleep, Not to Dream....

     Some nights, I don’t want answers I just want silence. Not the kind filled with buzzing thoughts, but the deep, weightless stillness that John Keats writes about in “To Sleep.” His lines feel less like poetry and more like a whisper to the weary .      Keats doesn’t glorify sleep as a dreamy escape filled with fantasies. Instead, he sees it as a quiet refuge from the noise of life. I remember one night, after back-to-back classes and an unexpected family argument, I sat by my window, emotionally exhausted. No words, no energy just the weight of being awake. That night, I opened Keats. His line, “Seal the hushed casket of my soul,” made me close my eyes. For once, I wasn’t trying to sleep. I was inviting it in like an old friend.      I’ve often found that poetry meets us where no one else can . Keats understood that some days feel too loud, too real. And what we need isn’t escape, but a pause a gentle covering of all that aches. His...

From Questions to Acceptance: The Quiet Strength Within

Today, I began writing my blog not with clarity, but with a curious uncertainty. I didn’t know where to start or what to write. Once, I was filled with questions. I constantly asked: How? Where? When? Why? What? These questions shaped my journey, my identity, my hunger to understand the world. But something changed. I’ve stopped asking. I’ve begun accepting. Life has slowly revealed its quiet wisdom to me not in answers, but in acceptance. I no longer seek explanations for everything around me. I no longer expect people to explain themselves, prove themselves, or live up to my vision of who they should be. Why should they? Everyone is walking their own path. It’s not my responsibility to evaluate their pace, their truth, or their struggle. I’ve learned not to expect, not to demand, not to act out of pressure or illusion. Instead, I’ve chosen to receive what life brings openly, peacefully. “I don’t expect, so I don’t act. I just accept.” That is my mantra now. I’ve found that ac...

When Hope Sings Softly Within !!!

     There are times in life when everything outside falls silent, dreams are delayed, plans fall apart, and people we trust walk away. Yet, even in such silence, I’ve felt something quietly fluttering within me a small, unwavering voice that says, “Move forward.” Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the Thing with Feathers” captures that feeling so perfectly. She compares hope to a bird that perches in our soul, singing wordlessly through the fiercest storms.      What struck me most is how Dickinson says this bird “never stops at all.” That line stayed with me. In my own life, when I felt lost after rejections, personal losses, or simply long nights filled with doubt, I didn’t always have someone to lean on. But this soft inner song remained. It never asked for anything in return. Just like Dickinson’s bird, hope never demanded food, praise, or reward. It just kept singing.      I’ve learned that true hope doesn’t come from external success o...
