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.

What is dancing to you?

Dancing to me

Is being in love with life

In every moment there is a dance

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… 🙏✨

Find yourself

In the daily grinds of life

Take a conscious moment.

Move beyond the apparent.

Witness the world

Observe nature

The sun moon & the stars 

Sense the fragrance of Flowers

Dancing in the wind

See the moving clouds 

Shaping patterns & disappearing

Watch it all sense it all

And then delving  deeper

Sense the intangibles

Understand the unspoken words

Beyond whats visible

Seek the wisdom untold.

You will find yourself.

On Poets & poetry

A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
Lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives Embedded in words in a flow…

In Poets, empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion, It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic as to be a poem the verses need to be well thought as much as well felt, as words manage to touch another soul in inexplicable ways.

Every poet balances the flow uniquely…

What are your thoughts on the above?

And how can empathy connect with poetry?

Beauty in the ordinary

Where time ticks onwards too fast

In a rushing world

With no time to stand and stare

The beauty is in the ordinary… 

An unforgettable vegetarian lunch in China.

In simple sharing, 

Of a space,

Of a meal ,

Of being with one another

Valuing time spent joyfully

With family & friends

That makes the day magical.
