Space…

Space.

Space allows.

Space that expands

Space that acknowledges you.

Space that lets you be.

Space that opens up for you

Space that speaks to you in you.

Space that listens as it speaks

Space that evolves you

Space for growth and learning

Space that liberates

Space frees

Space.

I wrote this piece in a flow…

In a space of calm.

I enjoyed  writing it  as I began  playing with space in and around the poem  unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.

I hope you enjoy reading it.

What do you see?

What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the nature of the land? Do you sense the sandstorm? Do you see the vivid colours of the womens clothes juxtaposed against the barren land? Do you see them huddle together taking refuge with no where to go? This picture evokes emotions. The wind, the women […]

Strength of tenderness

Being tender in the toughest of times

Being gentle and generous with the self

In times of chaos and conflicts

In and around us

Is the way of weathering-the-storms.

Being caring and compassionate

In thoughts words and deeds.

With empathy that empowers

In light and goodwill.

Is the way of gentle heart

Flowing in loving kindness.

Flowing with life lovingly

Everything is in this now

Who am I in this now,

Matters more than ever before

For tomorow that is yet to arrive.

Instead of mulling over

Uncertainties of life

Disappointments & falls

Rise in this moment.

Ask the self

Who am I in this now?

Whatever and however this moment presents…

Am I able to look at what is?

Meet it with composure?

What are my kind of choices ?

Am I reacting or responding  

In this now of my life?

Perhaps in this vulnerable space

With the truths of my being,

I sense myself growing

From and out of every  experience.

That teaches me to listen

Allowing me to flow with life

Making sense, along the way.

Knowing in my heart

That I am not a stagnant pond

Nor a stone refusing to roll.

For rolling stones gather no moss

I flow with lightness

Living life lovingly.

Endless beginnings

Finish lines dont define you Nor does what you begin with It does not matter who are how… It is wise to keep in mind that no success or failure is necessarily final. Savvy

Humanity

A few musings… Where is humanity in this now? What does it take for humanity to thrive? How does it continue to thrive? Touched by the grace of gratitude Appeased in the love for life Moving beyond the self in inclusivity In thoughts, words and deeds. Humanity continues to thrive… In moments of humility, kindness […]

When compassion radiates…

Conscious compassionate thoughts within become embedded in the core structure of the being, and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength.”

A night to remember…

Vision & verses by Savvy Raj

A moonlit night
The beach glows bright
Silvery waves, sugary white

As the last of the seagulls take flight
Evening dusk shadows the skylight.

To behold, what a sight

To remember, what a night.

In retrospect…

Chase not, the shiniest

For it often lose their sheen

Choose consistency over hype

It makes a mark in time.

What shines today

May become dull tommorow

What perseveres every day

May turn reliable in the long run .

Chase not, the loudest proclaims

It often ends up as a whimper

Choose the steadiness of approach

That often becomes substantial.

Chase not, the charmer

They often turn out fake.

To smile without heartbreak

Choose the one with humor…

And  keep humor alive in your heart…

Food matters

Do you live to eat or eat to live? I must confess I am no foodie,never carried any food fixation so far. Never craved too much for any particular food. Perhaps an occasional sweet treat was all I indulged in. Much to my surprise today I see a generation of food lovers around me who […]
