As you go through daily life.
Just care to remind yourself
That you are being watched over
And cared for…
This simple habit will bring you immense peace.
And you will transmit universal love.
Peace be with you.

Retrouvaille
Meeting an old friend
A kindered spirit
Or a loved one …
The joy of uniting
After being afar
Speaks of interconnections…
Where time and space
Evaporates without a trace
In the moments together.
Its often said
Absence makes the heart
Grow fonder…
So is it the distance
That makes reunion sweeter?
Gibran wisely said…
Let there be spaces
In your togetherness
So whatever the relationship
With another or with the self , the very act of reconnecting with an old hobby, that you were once passionate about, makes it truly memorable.
For what is truly meaningful, is never lost … it’s simply awaiting a return.
Savvy
PS: The word Retourvaille (often spelled Retrouvailles in French) is a beautiful, untranslatable French word that perfectly captures a specific, deeply felt human experience.
Literally translated, it means “rediscovery” or “the finding of something again.”
What are you feeding your mind?
Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”
Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.
Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.
Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.
For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.
Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

Making sense of it all…
Experience eats degrees for breakfast.
Technology tosses experience and degrees topsy turvy.
Al turns skills redundant and age immaterial.
Wisdom turns knowledge into learning.
For learning never stops.
Humility allows for growth…
Making sense of it all.
The Game Changer
Often it is in the adversity,
you meet your true strengths.
In the tests of life,
you find your true self.
That which you discover
in these challenges,
arrives in the journey
to steer you on your path.
So hold on, in trust & faith.
For no matter what,
all in not lost.
You will find it in you,
to begin anew.
In experiences of adversity,
you meet yourself.
And that’s the gamechanger.
A question to my reader…
If you were to think of the past challenges,what comes to mind as a strength you uncovered about your self that you wouldn’t have found any other way ?

Let’s nurture nature
Every bit of matter
In this now is integral
To the whole of existence
Every man made change
Changes our world
In more ways than one
For subtle shifts of energy
Can create massive environmental phenomena
Altering the course of future.
Isn’t it time to recognize
The misses
Alter the errors
And pave the way
For a more responsible
Coexistence
Life is a gift
Let’s nurture nature.
Even a single step matters …
Let’s start with even one of the three things we all can easily do…
1. Grow native plants that survive and thrive easily and create an ecosystem that will improve the biodiversity.
2. Save water recycle waste water lets treat every drop of water as precious.
3. Water plants with water used for washing vegetables rice or lentils.
Then not a single drop of water will be wasted .

Lines not walls
Clear lines
Not walls that break
But gates that define
Your edges in space
And anothers beginnings.
Setting a boundary
Creates safety & value
And is respectful to one another.
Be it your time & energy
Or for mental stability
Protecting personal space
Creates a sense of peace.
Truth is relationships are healthier in the long run with clear lines that protect your own unique sense of space, privacy & comfort levels.
In professional relationships often the fear of conflicts, or being misunderstood as unempathetic, can make people skip setting them early on only to find themselves challenged.
Actually, setting healthy boundaries is an act of clarity…

The Human Connection
Writing & commenting
after a hiatus…
am seeing a sea change
as a reader of WordPress.
Perfect poems
Perfect lines,
perfect emotions
perfect comments…
almost to distraction.
All thanks to Ai.
Yet, I miss the human touch.
that errs and learns.
The typos, the misses
the spirit & the soul.
Dont you?
I was almost about to reply to a perfect comment that I sensed the play of Ai in it… it was a tad bit disappointing at a certain level.
While I understand it’s part of the change,and we are all responsible, the connection of the heartfelt comment is missing in all this perfection.
In striving for perfection… we are losing the warmth of the human connection.
Whose lose is it and how is going to matter in time?
It is more about conscious choice and sharing the responsibility in the ways we use Ai.

Rhythm Within
What is dancing to you ?
A series of steps
Or a conversation
Without words?
Dance is a connection
To the rhythm within
That moves you
To find yourself.
In dance is the magic
Of tuning into harmony.
Whatever the form
Dance moves you
Heart & soul
To your truth .

Plugged in ?
Universe
Imagine space as a mirror
Multidimensional energy
Reflecting through invisible walls.
Self
Visualize its vibrance
all that you think & do…
echoes back to you.
Action
In this space of awareness
Create your best you
Recharge. regenerate.
Are you plugged in ?
Who are we?
All is not light
All is not dark
Between both
The day & night
Are shades & tones
Existing in every now
Nothing is definite
Where there is infinite
In ways & deeds
Then who are we
To judge one another
And frame them
As only black or white.
If we only could understand
The story of every shade
And every tint & tone of light.
We would think twice
Before the final verdict.
So much to discover
So much to understand
So much to know more
On who we are.
Savvy
Listen to this poem and its further contemplations here on my podcast Live Life Lovingly
Between the lashes
Between the lashes
There is the flame
Of the spirit burning bright
There is a window of the soul
Seeing in the envisioning
Of the betwixt & beyond
Both inside & outside
And making sense of it all.
The lashes are but a curtain
To open up to the wonders of the world…
For between the blink of the lashes
Lies the magic of sight.

All in good time
Layer upon layer
Our spheres connect
Communing in nurture
Nuggets of thoughts
Embodying the soul.
Emerging anew each time.
Imprints of life
Etched on our senses
Emotions traversing
Feelings yet to fathom
Wisdom in the changes
Transforming us from within
All in good time.
Savvy
Lightness of being
Draw open the curtains of your heart
Open yourself to sense the light that you are
Let go of the unnecessary density that’s clouding you
Shine in the freshness of spirit
Choose to forgive yourself first for follies
Then choose to forgive the foibles in others
To live in the lightness of being…
See each other in good light
And every time you choose to do so
Know all is for the better.
Savvy Raj
When the spirit blooms…
Nature knows where to bloom.
But it knows when to bloom as well.
The seasons change
Signaling the cycle of life.
Signs of life evolving
The seeds planting itself firmly
Ensconced in a shell in patience
Until its time comes.
Simply know…
You are the light of that seed
Emerging in time
Beyond the doubts of limitations
Guided in the alchemy of soul
In the synchrony of spirit
Aligned in faith and self belief.
As the path unfolds in time
You find your way unto the self
As much as make sense of the beyond.
Journey on with passion for life
Towards finding the purpose
Bridging the emotions & actions
Creating harmony in the being
It is in such moments
The spirit blooms.
