Tending & Nurturing
Author Archives: Savvy Raj
After the storm
The magic of first steps
The chaos of the chase
The applause of hitting milestones
The struggles of staying afloat in crisis
The highs of flying on the tailwinds
The lows of facing the headwinds
All lessons for life
There is no mountain
Without a valley to across
The struggles of the climb
Amplifies the success at the summit.
Reach beyond knowing
Every step leads the way
Trust the self in every step
Let the clouds roll in
For the view is truly worth it all…
After the storm.

The hand
The hand that rocked your cradle
The hand that fed your hunger
The hand that held you as you took your first step
The hand that holds you steady in your heartbreaks
The hand that holds your hand as you begin to write.
The hand that claps in your every success
The hand that blesses you with unconditional love
Is the hand of your dear mother
A hand worth kissing in gratitude and respect always & forever.

Infinite time
Time knows
Time reveals
Time heals
Time allows
Time continues
Time ticks
Time spaces
Time delivers
Time tunes
Time shapes
Time changes
Time is time after all
Time exists
Before, betwixt and beyond us.
Isnt. time then more than a measurement?
Time is infinite.

Books
I wonder…
What constitutes a good read?
A prose, a poem
A verse, or a couplet
A stanza, a paragraph
A page in a book
That begins to draw our attention
Compelling us to read more…
Books 📚
Somewhere in our hearts
Emerge words of emotions
Birthed in feelings
We begin to identify with words
In the pages of the books we read
It starts to make sense
To connect us with ourselves
For a fleeting moment at times
Or it makes us linger on
For it takes us places & spaces
That matters much to us
Somewhere in our hearts 💕
Somewhere in our mind
We know a good book
We appreciate the substance
We allow the words we read
To touch of thoughts
To influence our life
It makes a difference
A positively impactful difference.

Stringing words
I came across a set of some very fancy words today …
And I immediately couldn’t resist finding the string of connection in them.
It all began, having a little reverie
Laying at early dawn, sensing the peiskos.
With open French windows
It was a gentle, zephyr morning
My heart was in a fika state.
Feeling the munificience
my thoughts were aliferous
As a philocalist of nature
It felt as if there was redemancy from nature
In the querencia of my being.
I enjoyed this little creative writing practice for today.
Yes,I must add some of these words were completely new to me that I checked their meanings. And some I have come across earlier .
I have highlighted all the words .If you enjoy this, feel free to string your own versions of verses incorporating all these words and share them below. Would love to read.

What would you remember?
A story makes it easy to put things perspective
For stories can reach the heart of man.
I am sharing such a story from my social media forwards this morning…
A guru asked a married young man to stand up during one of his speeches.
The Guru said:
“Imagine you are walking on a beach. A young, beautiful woman is walking toward you.
What would you do?”
The young man immediately replied:
“I would look at her, admire her personality and appreciate her.”
The Guru asked:
“After she walks past, would you look back at her?”
The young man said:
“Yes, if my wife isn’t with me.”
(Everyone in the crowd laughed)
The Guru then asked again:
“How long do you think you’ll remember that beautiful face?”
The young man smiled and replied:
“Until I see another beautiful face… Maybe 5-10 minutes.”
(And he smiled again.)
Then the Guru said to him:
“Now imagine this… As you leave this place, I give you a package of books.
I ask you to deliver this package to a wealthy man who lives 75 kilometers away.
You reach his house to deliver the books. From the moment you see the house, you realize he’s a billionaire.
There are 10 cars in the veranda of his mansion, and 5 security guards standing outside.
Once you send word of your arrival, the honorable man himself comes out to welcome you.
He receives the book package from you.
As you’re about to leave, he politely invites you inside.
He sits beside you, offers you hot tea and food.
He treats you with kindness and thanks you sincerely for delivering the books so quickly.
As you get ready to return, he asks how you came.
You say, ‘By local train.’
Immediately, he calls his driver and asks him to drop you at your destination in one of his luxury cars.
When you reach your destination, the billionaire calls you and asks,
‘Brother, did you reach comfortably?’”
The Guru then asked:
“Now tell me, how long will you remember this man?”
The young man replied:
“Guruji, despite being such a wealthy man, because of his humble and loving behavior,
I could never forget him in my lifetime.”
Addressing the room full of youngsters, the Guru said:
“This is the reality of life.
A beautiful face will be remembered for a short time.
But a beautiful character will be remembered for a lifetime.
Instead of focusing on the beauty of your face or body,
focus on the beauty of your behavior.
That’s what will make your life interesting, unforgettable, and inspiring to others.”
Moral:
Outer beauty fades with time, but inner beauty—your character, your kindness—leaves a lasting impression.
Cultivating purpose
Every time you spend
In cultivating purpose
In patience and passion
With a dedicated perseverance
You are inviting an earnestness
That helps you discover yourself
You are far more
Than you choose to believe
Or give yourself credit for.
As you find your purpose
You find yourself evolving
And closer you are to contentment
In living life lovingly every day.

Let yourself fly…
Go with the wind & fly free
Unafraid of the uncertainty
Sometimes, the chances you take
In going with the flow
You find yourself
Lost at first, maybe,
Yet, right where u are meant to be.
Think about it this way
Every way seems to make sense.
Fly free.

It’s Possible
Light
A space of darkness
Is bound to beam with light
Clarity
A space of uncertainty
becomes a space of clarity.
Breath
In the inhale of purpose
Perseverance exhales with passion
Thoughts
In the racing of thoughts
A quiet mind finds itself.
Mind
A mind that allows itself to know
Can be inclusive in expansiveness.
Heart
A heart that wanders
Can be the heart that wonders
Of the yet unknown.
Flowing unbridled with spirit
It can find its anchor in time.
Peace
A place of great unrest
Is truly the place for peace.
To seed and nurture
And evolve the being.
Success
Success births itself
In every bud to a bloom.
In every new moment.

On Creativity
Art of creativity
Is to acknowledge
The flow of possibilities
Shaping seemingly
Lifeless matter
To birthing life in art
Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.
To train the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge in confidence
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of infinite creative capabilities.
P.s : I enjoyed painting this Art work above. It was created by me on my phone while traveling somewhere in Europe.

Own your truths
Mistakes we all make
In life there are ups , downs
But stability comes
In knowing where you are.
What you are doing
How you are feeling
Doing what you do.
And course correcting
In case it feels not quite there.
Then in sharing your thoughts
Your life’s learning
To those on the path next
It’s a way of opening hearts
To express without fear of ridicule
Even if your misses are many,
And roads made you lose ur way
You still found yourself
And are here breathing
Living in this now .
So there, do try to own your truths
Misses and wins
You share as you learn
And learn as you share.

Limitless being
Unframe & Reframe
Breakthroughs happen
In the unframing.
As you break through limiting yourself
From cycles of conditioning
You will realize the truths
Of your potential.
You are far more
Than you allow yourself
To believe.
So move beyond
Cycles of limitations
Choose to rise above & see beyond
And over the challenges
Change the narrative
Reframe your thoughts
You are more than you know now
Sustain yourself
To find your limitless being.
Savvy
Brew the bonds
Bonds that last
Are brewed in time
Simmered in the scorching of life
Infused in the palette of senses
Softened in the brushes of love
Textured in the treasure of experiences.
Blended in balance of emotions
Wafting through in the tasting
Every sip connects deeper
Strengthening the spirit
Awakening the feelings
Bonding in the being
In this now & forever.

Healing in your hands
Tap away the voice in your head.
Tap into your own healing touch.
Tap away the doubt and hesitation.
Tap into the ray of light.
Tap away the fear and confusion.
Tap into self-confidence and dare.
Tap away anger and disconnect.
Tap into your inner wisdom.
Tap away mindless distractions.
Tap into your inner silence.
Tap away the ego that bounds you
Tap into the dark spaces & let light in.
Yes, tapping away and tapping into, is a critical holistic skill for a more balanced life. While it’s not as easy as it sounds , for tapping away and into your healing energy can be both an emotional experience, yet the body regenerates itself in the journey of love & light.
