Beyond Passion 

Emergence.

Beyond passion is a light,
Of  love and dedication.
Make that light lead the way,
Move beyond the pursuit of passion.

As passion can be blinding,
Create rifts and indifference.
Arise from love and light,
Allow yourself to be lead in love.

 In each tomorrow care to lovingly envision      Let yourself commune with light, give a way

As unlike the shades of passion
Glory of  light will never lead you astray !

Savvy Raj

‘Your purpose is ordained and your passion is entwined with the light of your being . Moving beyond passion  reveals the impassioned strength of the soulfulness.

In my painting above titled ‘Emergence’  I use red to depict the colour of passion at play and the blue streaks as a balance factor interspersed with the greys depicting ( the rifts and strifes) the shades and tones  of colours in our life , taking us through the crossroads in our journey of discovering the self. The purpose of being I choose to  depict the white  background as‘Light,’ which  is after all the’ Eternal truth of the Being’.

Felt I must leave this painting a little raw as all the answers we seek , ‘is  was and will be ‘with us if we choose to see beyond the tinted glasses and acknowledge the glorious light that we actually are.

As inspite of the disarray and chaos  that it portrays, if we choose to see beyond the games of passion …

All is truly Light ‘

Be Light

Feel Light

Live light,

Love Light

Light up Life in Loving Light !

 Gratitude to Grace 

For all artists, thoughts are the treaure troves of creative enterprise, to choose those from which to create from,  are also thoughts that help pick tools for the infinite paths of expression.

The ability to express or create art is a gift. A Gift of Grace.

To respect the gift of creativity …. is to express gratitude and use it in empowering ways.

To be able to express and convey is to be able to let go without doubts of disbelief.

To be ready and willing to share helps boosts the sense of self confidence and self worth.

Take time to appreciate  the grace of your gift ,  as you make a difference in your own unique way!

The Mystique of You!

You are not your mask which you so carefully wear everyday   …it falls apart.

You are not your wealth or riches, it comes and goes.

You are not your best behaviour it is superficial.

You are not your skills , your success or failure , there is more to that.

You are not a name that you are called as, it doesnt define your light.

You are not your place of birth or family or relationships… it is too limited.

You are not your own body, it wears off.

You are truly you in your spirit of being.

You are you in the depth of your dreams,in the acknowledging.

You are you in your deepest  intentions in acceptance.

You are you in the choices you make in the learning.

You are cosmic dust and therein you return unbound.

You are a free will manifestation, unravelled in time and space.

You are weightless in lightness of spirit.

You are strength of infinite consciousness.

Unbound Unravel the mystical in you !

 I wish!

 

I wish 😊

To hold the mighty sun in a curl of my fingers 

To bask in the warmth of the early morning sun

 To delightfully witness the dancing rays of dawn😍

To sense the beauty of a brand new day!

Many paths lead us home…

All the questions come in living;

All the answers are in the living,

And life is happening to you as you strive

And you are sifted in the sieve of life

While you flow or reverse the flow

In every now and then, moving fast or slow

To gain a grounding in the sun.

Are you ready for the race you wish to run?

Care to pause and reflect on these:

Whose choice is it the way you are?

What chances do you have to have it your way?

Who should make the change to what can be?

When can it be the way you want?

Where do you want to be in this now?

And how you can reach there?

Step out your own way

To sense the unfolding of other paths,

To see the effects before the cause,

To choose to smile at destiny’s face.

And that makes all the difference

In finding it all!

One fine day in your own sweet way!.

​Explore your being!

Artwork by Savvy Raj

Dare to explore the magnitude of your being.

Unlock the infinite wisdom you hold within, without knowing.

You have the answers you are seeking;

You are in the right place at the right time.

So, persevere and make the so-called trivial in you valuable.

Make every moment preciously accountable;

Strengthen your being;

Know you are sufficient and self-sustaining.

Just remember,

You are enough for you!

Poems & Emotions 

Poems & Emotions 

Is there a dividing line 

Where both can stand apart 

Poems are thoughts from feeling

In sensing is the emotion 

Poetry cannot be senseless 

For that would make it neaningless. 

Even a limerick puts a lot of heart out in rhyme.

To feel and sense the humour  in just fives lines.

Trust the verses to see you through life and living.

A rainy day or lazing with a book in the sun.

Writing is a pleasure reading is a joy. 

Emotions dance in reading through the verses.

And the feelings wonderfully embedded

In the thinking between the words and spaces. 

Yes like us, emotions and poems are inextricable   by far…

There is no one without the other.

We will travel far…

An Artwork by Savvy Raj ‘Spectrum of Stars’

We need to come to a place of understanding where

We do not discriminate between man and nature.

We are humans, and we are part of nature.

Our nature makes us who we are as much as nurture does.

We are beautiful in our uniqueness.

We are breath-taking in our magnificence.

We are bound by the very same laws of nature.

We are challenged in its fervour.

We are sanctified in its glory.

We are crucified in its destruction.

We are celebrated for co-creation.

We are complex in our ways of being.

But we are no different from nature.

We are born, we breathe, and we are perishable.

Although full of life we may be, but we are totally accountable

As we are blessed with conscious choice,

Free will and intention.

And that makes way for infinite potential.

We are our own wayfarers in the choices.

We make our own present and future,

Like we made our past.

We are made of stars

And will travel far.

Speaking Pictures 2

​She seems calm and composed and at complete ease .

A pretty picture of her face framed by her curly locks.

She seems to know more than she wants to tell

Her smile seems to sense much more as well

Her truth is hers alone, as her lips may seal

Oh! but what all a good capture can reveal.

 

Our personna is so transparent on the verge

Of Shadows thrown open to light

The  inner and outer may merge

And unmask thoughts that may be shut tight.

Shadows of past out in the open today

And capture thoughts  held at bay

All it takes to know is a shutters click

In perfect timing of  what to shoot & pick

Savvy
This picture was shared on one of my networks in Social Media  and I felt compelled to take a second glance …. the picture spoke much and my pen had to flow to capture the thoughts on this pretty capture.

Light on the dark

Emotions unveiled

Of memories & musings 

A photo reveals it all!

Amazing Photo of a Beautiful Child 😊

Life &living 

 Shapes and angles in the abstraction 

Dots to lines in the interconnection 

Lines to dots in the simplification

Dots to void of the core in sublimation.

All of you!

What does it take to accept everything that is happening in life as an unfolding mystery?

All of you!

And when that happens,

No storm is unsurmountable,

No pain is unmanageable,

No hurt is unforgivable.

Yes, it takes all of you

To complete this circle of life and living.

And in every step you take towards realization

You are only another step closer to home.

To decide not to stress and focus on things that you may not be in control of is a step towards understanding the meaning of true acceptance as not resigning the self to fate but to accept it as part of the phase in the ebb and flow of tides in life. 

A few reflections:

Acceptance is the key when life happens beyond your comprehension.

Action is the key when there is something you sense you understand enough.

Acknowledgement is the key while sharing goodwill in trust and hope.

Appreciation is the key to manifesting abundance.

Accept life as a mystery that will dawn.

All else is history that has gone in the dusk.

All is well in time, always.

 This post has come as  an afterthought  when I came across a particularly poignant story  shared by a good friend caught in turmoils of time and yet being brave enough to ease into acceptance and appreciate the good happening around  by sending goodwill and hope to those around him in thoughts  words and deeds.

I know there are many  who put out ‘All of themselves ‘ to brave out the odds every single day …. My salute to such inspiring souls. Stay ever blessed!

Ease into Alignment

A life well-lived

Is more about being well and doing good

Than about doing much

and finding no time to be you

and all that you actually are.

 

Resonate with your own reserves;

Reach out with the knowledge

That you are enough for you. 

Align your posture; let go of tension.

Acknowledge your needs in this moment.

Sense the potential in this now.

 

To alter the reality of this moment,

To make a positive difference in your ways,

To pursue your passions,

To love well, to enjoy life,

 

You need to create a balance between

What you can do and what you are doing.

Sometimes, the tilts are unavoidable,

And then, life takes care of itself.

 

But, it always helps to not tilt the balance

By overdoing, over controlling, overindulging,

Overstepping and overshadowing your own self.

Aim to balance the holding back and the letting go

With discretion and discernment

Of conscious intentions in awareness.

Modern maladies are mostly self-inflicted

Due to excess of thought, action and deed.

 

With awareness, your own free will

Can be your best ally in understanding

That freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.

And soon you will reach a level…

 

Where you feel grounded

And, yet, light as a feather in flight.

Make sense of the choices you make in every now;

It does matter after all.

 

You have one life.

Live it well.

Because you can!

Spectrums of learning 


by 11 Comments

​Nothing more nothing less.

In a world of assumptions and perceptions

In a world of make believe and gratifications.

In a world of false notions and proclamations.

In a world of judgments and contradictions.
It helps ever so often

To invest in our precious time.

To center our wavering thoughts

To balance our movements

To still our restless spirit

To calm our frayed nerves

To choose our own words.

If only to realise we are

Nothing more nothing less.


As we are truly in it all together.

Connected cells as different entities.

We are all made of the same matter

And all is a matter of energy.

Nothing more nothing less.


In seeing beyond the sheaths of skin.

In peeling of the layers of conditioning.

Moving flowing blending converging.

Sense it if you will, with a subtlety of being.

Nothing more nothing less.


What we speak can become our truth.

What we project can be our destiny.

What we assume become our realities.

What we think is perhaps who we are.

Nothing more nothing less.
