Wind on water

The wind on the water

Dancing divine

Riveting rhythm

Forming in the flow.

Patterns performing

Orchestras in the ocean

Water matters

Water water everywhereBut not a drop to drink! We are country overflowing with an abundance of rivers and blessed with the monsoon season. Yet the picture is grim. Rivers are tilting the balance,  either in floods or in a draught. The changing weather conditions,  the seasonal shifts, have created havoc on our agriculture. Common man’s […]

Shaping the self

The past is clutching you

But choose to sculpt a new now

Shed your old skin

Unclasp the tags.

Yesterday may hold you captive

But choose to chisel on relentlessly

Bit by bit…

And free yourself from its vice like grip.

Your tommorow awaits in patience,

Trust, all is well in time.

Shape yourself into who you are.

Savvy Raj

(My verses in a flow, inspired by the image share that came my way.)

Prayer

Turning inwards
From illusions to clarity
Lighting the lamp within
Awakening in awareness
To the timeless truth
Essence of consciousness.

A prayer integrating the body mind & spirit . 🙏

To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently. Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a […]

Reiki on Rakhi

Today is the day Rakhi  a festival that is celebrated by Indians all over the world to strengthen the bond of a brother and sister.

Celebrated  with love and devotion this festival makes its way into hearts for its simple ways to remember the  unconditional  love between  them.

The sister ties a rakhi thread on her brothers wrist to mark  the prayers and love she has in her heart for him.

My brother is very close to my heart and lives far away. Today as a reiki practitioner along with the rakhi I have already sent, I also choose to send out a reiki healing prayer for my brother. 

Have shared a heart felt prayer I created with Ai.

If you wish to, do feel free share with your brother or sisters…

Art of New Beginnings

Who said beginning again was easy ?

In the discomfort of new beginnings

In the challenges of the changes

You feel lost in a maze.

You sense your vulnerabilities.

Yet, as you persevere on, with a beginners mindset

No matter what and where life takes you…

You find your own strengths

Unfolding new paths & possibilities.

Beginnings challenge the best of us.  Not all is rosy and easy…especially the beginning, all over again.

I was thinking of how important it is to imbibe the beginners  mindset, the one that is passionately earnest  and yet humble in patience &  perseverance to bend and not break….that makes it an art of new beginnings.

Charcoal on black

Art on black paper

The artist is engrossed

Working relentlessly

Charcoal on black

Revealing the light from the dark

Reversing the fundamentals of art

Shaping the light into form

Contouring the edges

White charcoal lifts and highlights

Speckling with light

Black ones adding depth  

Matting the shine

The fluid fingers flowing 

Almost dancing on paper

Sweeping strokes

Creating softness of light

In contrast they meet

Sharp staccato moves

Accenting tension and texture.

Arresting the eyes.

This waltz with light on dark

And dark on light 

In shades & tones

Applying and erasing

Refining in the rendering

Form merges and emerges…

Serenading my senses…

It’s early evening

The sunlight is still filtering in

I sit back, after a walk.

It feels like a balmy dusk

Watching dappled rain drops

Falling on verdant leaves 🍃

Petrichor fills the air

Rising from the earth

Sensing the glimmers of this now.

Serenading my senses, in serendipity…

Smile from the heart!

It’s truly a wonderful way to live inside out.

There is a lot in life to be thankful for .

Sending such an intention outward is an unending hope, that life never hardens, the living with all our heart & soul.

Light of dawn

Its presence needs a little wait, 

In both patience and perseverance.

To envision the mighty rays

Dawn of its true potential.

In lighting the hearts

Aflame in purpose.

 

This poem aims to reflect the dawn, by beginning slowly to depict the stillness that  precedes the dawn and like an  inhale, generate the light  building up to dawn and then   accelerate to the brilliance of  sunshine… hope you enjoy reading it.

Look at the sky

Look up

The same sky that brought the storm

Brings forth the sunshine

What more proof do you need,

To trust that it will soon change?

Whatever it is,

Better times are around the bend.
