Vedānā

It may seem to others that you’re in a phase of soul-searching, but they won’t realize, you’ve already found your soul. This journey has been profoundly beautiful and transformative, yet difficult for others to comprehend. You may try to share, but understand that some people struggle to express themselves, and everyone sees the world through their own lens

As Rumi once said, ‘The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand’, you know there is no right or wrong in differing perspectives, only different spaces, energies, or levels of understanding. Don’t risk having your truth entirely misunderstood, for in sharing, its quiet beauty might be stripped away. Instead, you smile, let them hold onto their thoughts, and walk away

This journey is yours alone. Perspectives may differ, but while no one is perfect, each person is uniquely their own

Simply believe in respect for all

Vedānā/ pali/sanskrit
Vedānā refers to a deep, intuitive feeling or sensation—beyond words, beyond logic

Also, does anyone have another title suggestion for this musing?

Also, lately, I’ve been hooked on the soulful song “Na Tum Samjhe” by Sajjad Ali. It has a gentle, melancholic tune with soothing melodies and heartfelt lyrics that capture unspoken emotions beautifully

  1. To me, it’s intuition, having that feeling that overrides my thoughts. Often when I’m writing or painting, that’s what I let take over. I don’t think about what I’m doing and allow my ‘soul’ or ‘muse’ or whatever take over.

    But I think I’ll start to refer to it as ‘vedana’. I like that. And thank you for teaching me a new word, Roksana. 🙂

    1. That’s such a beautiful way to describe it, letting your intuition guide you without overthinking

      Exactly, ‘Vedana’ feels like a perfect word for that deep, instinctive connection. I’m so glad you resonated with it, and thank you for sharing your perspective with me, too, Richard!

      It’s always inspiring to hear how others experience creativity ….

      Have a blessed weekend ✨
