Quote of the day

Interplay of colours

Find balance in the blending…

Strangely true. Opposites attract.

Have added my painting to depict this quote I came across today..

The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives. Joyce Brothers

Hear to be heard

Hear to be heard
Value to be valued
Acknowledge.

It makes a world of difference in a ‘ever busy world’ that’s always checking time.
Giving time and energy to understand another with empathy will help shift perspectives for the better.

Truths & facades

There is much going on behind a smile or a tear

As much as there is behind an act of aggression or care.

Truths that lie just over the bend

Masked in a show of strength

A veil may cover the apparent

But the body never lies.

It leaves imprints of expression

In every moment of now .

Truths that cannot be shared

Truths that needs to be dared

The body wisdom takes over

To make it through

To the truths over the facades.

Lighting the dark

Magnificent moon
Lighting the night
Beaming its brilliance
Across the world
For all to see…

How to manage a difficult conversation?

In the course of my career over the years handling teams of various departments, people management  became my forte while experiencing many instances which needed agility in communication.

Here are few pointers…

If you can help it thoroughly prepare yourself  with research so that you are prepared to handle any objections well.

Try to choose when and where to have a difficult conversation.

Always start with a positive mindset and speak with concern without blaming .

Make sure you are clear about what you want to communicate.  And deliver your stance  clearly  without any ambiguity.

Speak in the right tone as per the situation.

Listen actively well to acknowledge  emotions and  understand so you can respond than react.

If there is too much tension or another impasse it is alright to pause, take a  short timely break to diffuse tension and then recoup

Be focussed on what you wish to communicate and steer the conversation if it veers off topic.

Be open to alternatives and  perspectives and see if you can  find common ground to stay flexible to foster collaboration.

Resolve issues find win win solutions & clear issues.

Do you remember  any instances of  difficult  conversations you have had? How did you manage it?

Spark of the divine

Power of Imagination  takes you places. It’s your choice  where you want to be or go. It’s in you what you choose to imagine .

Divine Sparks

Simply imagine the infinite power of possibilities of the soul. And the pinnacle and the depths of infinite potential .The greatest depths is of the soul within… a spark of the divine!

Journey within :
As one deepens the focus in the inward journey of awareness, greater empathy is felt for the world outside , and when the focus is towards the outer materialistic world the focus turns towards being more self centered than self aware.

What do you think?

Sense of Divinity

All is a matter of sensing…

Painting : Savvy Raj

Divinity is alive and well

In every moment of now

It is full of signs

Powerful in subtlety

And gentle in its power

Divinity dances

Between and betwixt you & me

Every life is a testament.

It is goodwill energy

Meant for you to sense

And know there is always more

Than what you see in yourself

Your divinity is for you to sense

To express from your being

Such that you help impact

Not only the self positively

But also those that you meet…

Reaching beyond self limitations

To leave a legacy of transformation

That can make the world

A better place to live.

You are the flow

Where there are no rules that bound

Where the music leads and you follow

Where there is no end and no beginning

Where the river of time

Meets you as you want to

Where heart fields are open

To receive the infinite truths

You know..

All is in the flow as you sense you are the flow.

Oneness

In the journey of life

At one point or the other

In arriving to acknowledge our truths

Comes a realization of our Oneness

Of how we are mere living fractals of life and longings.

We are simply waves of light frequencies of resonance & dissonance.

Dancing to the tunes of the Cosmic Oneness

Effortless movements

When you move

Move with energy

Allow the movements

To flow through you

And from you harmoniously

As you move you will sense

The effortlessness of  movements

With practice it becomes a flow

Inside Outside

Today I thank in gratitude

The power of the mind

The heart and the spirit

Our body is blessed

With many gifts of the soul

Which we are yet discovering

The strength of intentions

The power of intuition

Of conscious awareness

In practice of mindfulness

Of possibilities in our potential

In the movements of stillness

In the stillness of moves

In the silence of meditation

All, in this journey within

Betwixt inside outside & beyond…

Strength of Interconnects

Sometimes what’s truly profound

Can be profoundly simple.

The strength of interconnects

Is about the strength in self support

In the world of design

What seems complex

Could be extremely simple.

In the way of interweave

In the intersection of the interconnects.

All is in the strength

In the sum of the intersections.

The Bridge of Safety

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Self Supporting Bridge. Leonardo Da Vinci was an artist, inventor and engineer in the 15th century.  His vision and calibre of mind allowed him to comprehend the twin worlds of science and art; he has
often been described as the archetype of the “Renaissance man”, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention . He was a master of innovation, ingenuity and engineering.
He invented the self supporting bridge sometime between 1485-1487 to be used as an emergency bridge for troops in times of war. This unique design is held together by its own weight without requiring any ties or connections, in fact when a downward force is applied to the structure the braced members are forced to interlock and tighten together through the structural concepts of shear and bending. Da Vinci called it “The Bridge of Safety”.

Strength of the soul

A glimpse of the intangible

Is often visible through signs

Like the strength of the soul

Appears in true forgiveness

In letting go of  fear of failure

In ability to start all over again

In letting go of negativity

In ability to center the self

In letting go of revenge mentality

In the ability to share kindness

In sensing the lightness of being

In awareness of the bigger picture.

The strength of the soul shines through.

Coherence  Part 2 

Much happens in the sounds

Much happens in the silence

For it is never still

The troughs and crests

The highs and lows

The swing and the sways

Are all but a dance of waves

Of energy in the flow of life

Asserting in the ascent

And subsiding in the descent.

Shaping itself in the changes.

Much like notes of music

Coming together in coherence

And the spaces between notes

Making music to those

Who care to sense.

All parts to the same whole

Finding meaning  in itself.

Finding purpose for itself.

Such is the circle  of life.

Savvy
