In & around

The more I explore

The mystique of  space

The more I am in touch

Of my ground of earth.

In mindfulness I root myself

So that my thoughts find stillness

The more I search afar

The closer I am home.

All is within

In and around

Ocean of Abundance

Think of grace

As in everything

In life and living

Ask for blessings

In health & prosperity

In this now & future

Invoke the divine

Who holds it all

In an ocean of abundance

With all your heart

In supreme trust.

In the letting go

You step out of your own way

And let the abundance in

For grace is infinite

And the ocean of abundance

Is all heart.

Riding on faith

My first time

Riding a cycle

As a little kid

I remember

Quite vividly

Father’s hand

Holding the cycle seat

At the back

Teaching me to pedal

As I  balance

In complete faith

In the hand

Holding me safe

Wheels spin

On the dirt road

I sense the wind

In my face

As we gain ground

The cycle, me & dad.

I smile happily

And I turn to glance

At my father

But I see him afar

Beaming with pride

Signaling a thumbs up

And then it hits…

I am cycling

On my own now.

In faith & self belief

Confidence springs 

As I pedal on in faith.

Life is like a cycle

Keep pedaling 

And remember 

Roads may seem rough 

As terrain turns tough

But there is always

Guidance in need

And signs…

That assures

You are enough

For you.

Ride on, in faith.

Reflections on Space

Thoughts on Space

Space is, what I make of it.


Space allows and restrains you all at the same time
In this and every now, space is filled with infinite possibilities.
Abundance and scarcity of potential is the truth in coexistence, shifting as you perceive space.
Space is a dynamic in the fluidity.


Space is what you make of it.


As what you sense in space, stays in space

So what happens in space stays in space.

Space is filled with wonder.
An expansive phenomena.


Feeling of space for you and I is deeply different.


Is there a divide at all between the physics and metaphysical space or is it actually interweaved & deeply interconnected.


Just a question of how open we are to understanding Space & the possibilities in its potential…
Its all in around and beyond there.

Let’s just be

Lovely lines that resonate with me deeply…

We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.
Haile Selassie

A few contemplations on the same lines…

Lets envision

Beyond borders

Marked on maps

Of human existence

To know we are far more

Than our notions & judgement

We are lifes assertions

In hope & faith

Of the expansive infinite

Thats inclusive of one & all

That every life on earth

Has a purpose & reason to be

Lets acknowledge

This truth of being humane

Than just human.

And beyond all that we must

Do and say in life & living

Let’s just be …

A whimsical world

A painting by Savvy

A fantastical experience

A whimsical world

Makes for a great safespace

From the rigors of existence

Yet its not an escape

More, a choice of the moment

To be whimsical, unexpectedly so.

Where imagination is your ally

Spirited with a a little levity.

Emboldened by quirkiness

The ordinary seems extraordinary.

A spring in the step

A song on your lips

Lightness of spirit

Shines out your soul.

INFLUENCE

So much of everything

Is not in what you say

It is in how you say it.

Which sounds better

90% chance of living

10% chance of mortality?

Framing what you say

Wins people over

If expressed the right way

With the necessary tone

Adding confidence

In the way you deliver it.

Such is the power of influence

All is a matter of tuning in

And shifting perspective.

Mind over matter

When mind  is over matter

It reflects in every cell

When you keep the faith

Living in gratitude

And be thankful…

Life becomes beautiful.

Choice rests with you

Live life lovingly 💙

Tending & Nurturing

Tending & nurturing

Are deeply intertwined

Birthed in care

Having immense possibilities

In seeding compassion.

Healing the spirit & soul

Have you ever wondered

What is it in your life

That needs tending & nurturing?

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.

Writing with a pen

To my readers,

It’s a conscious choice to write more, yet streamline my work.

So you may find me posting erratically every once in a while. Although I continue to write every day as I have for the past couple of years .

I simply started to switch to writing on paper, and I shall post one here regularly, but perhaps  not every day. I sense great joy in picking up a pen and writing. It connects me up wires my hand brain coordination  a little more than tapping on digital keys.

I already find myself relaxing into it as now I can write anywhere anytime with or without internet . This  is simplifying as much as satisfying to me.

To talk about the day I first picked up the pen to write, I wrote a few words and found how strange it felt to be actually inking  on paper  after so long . It was a missing action piece in my work. Typing is not the same thing. It takes away  the flow of continuous touch of the pen on paper.

Although I have written every day digitally over these years. I realise  how important  it is to never lose touch with writing by hand.

Writing digitally  may be faster but fine muscle coordination and postural stability improve  when you write with a pen.Something I want to work on again…

The simple joys of flowing with a pen and looking at your work right before you, a tangible piece that   connects you with yourself in the touch. It’s hard to replace.

My writing, which seemed erratic  at first due to lack of practice, has seen much improvement. Hope this art is not forgotten by other writers.

A point of reflection:

When was the last time you took time to write with a pen on a page ?

Being human

Our  own struggles seem the most difficult. Our journey of life may seem unique to us.And yet if we bring to awareness  that this imagined spectrum of universe is a dot in the multitude of multiverses yet unknown, we realise our so called egoes are but a tool for motivating our life to keep us exploring the possibilities in our lifetime. 

But instead of seeing the bigger picture we see ourselves as mammoth beings & as if only our life and our journey is important. 

How far away from the truth we are?

If we only keep seeing our circle  of life is but a spec in the cosmic  ocean we will realize our truths as  humans and learn to be in touch with our humanity.

Dancing to me

Of joy waiting to be found.

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨
