Journey to My Heart

About this ebook
'Journey to My Heart' is my collection of poems written during the course 'Creativity and Leadership' I took in the fall quarter of 2010 at Stanford University. This course taught the tools of creativity and encouraged the students to practice each one in the form of live-withs, one every week. I shared my experiences with each of the tools in the form of poems.
I hope you would enjoy reading these poems and would be able to tap into your creative resource even more effectively. I also hope that you would embark and successfully complete the journey to your heart based on the tools I discuss in my poems. I would love to have your comments and hear about your experiences.
I wish your creative fountain overflows in this world.

Dedicated to
Asha
my mother,
Who erased all the answers in my notebook dictated by the teachers at school
And made me rewrite them on my own
And
Ajay
my soulmate,
Who makes every day poetic for me
And whose gentle, angelic sleeping face every morning
makes me blink twice when I wake up,
To ensure I am out of my reverie
