Each time you pick up your pen and only truth flows out
Each time you let your paint brush reflect your soul on the canvas
Each time you stir that pot, filling the kitchen with the aroma of pure love
Each time you plant your garden with tenderness
And watch life grow with awe
Each time you let your heart speak with conviction
Each time you immerse yourself in your dreams
Losing yourself so you can find yourself
And drown in the longingness to create-
consumed by your art,
Each time you flow through life
Leaving a bit of your sparkle in all you do
And you the creator become the creation-
You are choosing to create with meraki:
Meraki that makes you unique, meraki that makes history.
When you choose to live life and create
With meraki.

If you spilt Mera Ki, it means ‘What is mine?” in Punjabi. I think your soulful post answers that question too.
