    About this ebook

    Little Meditations are poems dedicated to those moments when feelings are clustered, those moments when the breathe is slow and deep, those moments when thoughts just pass by, those moments when waiting is the only option, those moments when let go comes with a tear and a smile, those moments when the feelings take over and do not make sense.
    These poems are from the journey between those moments and hoping you may drift away in to few moments of transcendence without an artificial pressure to find meaning or purpose. You are here to heal yourself.

      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Book reviews

      "There is something spiritual, as well as something illuminating, about traveling through these poems..."

      - Reading and Literature Resources Blog

      "The eclectic combination of nature, human emotions, spirituality, and positive vibes make this an interesting collection that will help readers contemplate and reflect on the vagaries of life. The collection is for all readers who want to reconnect with the Universe and to surrender to its abundance, wisdom, and spirituality..."

      - Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite

      "...it's rare to find poems which can successfully mix the self help and meditative genres with deeply personal explorations of feelings, but Little Meditations manages this tricky balance very well. Avinash Jalani makes a clear attempt to explore every facet of human emotion during the pages of his work, travelling from times of great stress and sadness to concepts of relief, loss, extreme happiness and slow, silent calm. The overall message is one of harmony and calm which I took to be very comforting. Little Meditations was an enjoyable read..."

      Preface

      Little Meditations is collection of poems from those moments when emotions are ecstatic, when feelings are scattered, when the breathing is slow and deep, when waiting is the only option, when letting go comes with a tear and a smile and eventually the feelings take over and do not make sense.

      "Inner resistance is constant,

      growth is walking beyond it"

      These poems are from the journey between those moments and hoping you may also drift away in your few moments of transcendence and witnessing, from being a human to spiritual sentinel to be in love. Remember whatever happens

      You are here to heal yourself 

      Endless affection to my wife Olivia and my son Akash, whose love, support and inspiration has made this journey more beautiful. Also, gratitude to my parents, my ancestors, my sisters & brothers, beloved friends, the universe and the Star from beyond for guiding me through the whirlpool of this self-creation.

      OM MANI PADME OM

      A moment (from earth body)

      Mother Earth

      You are my healer,

      on this journey to stars,

      listening to your heart beat,

      always returning home to your sky.

      Sometimes rain, sometimes moonlight,

      sometimes past, sometimes future,

      sometimes life,
