Live Life Lovingly!

And the muse will touch you!

Creativity is abundant in the flow of life
In moulding  it to give form in the formless
In blending in its essence to shape as you please
In connecting the dots to structure it meaningfully

Every artist charts his path
With the blessed touch of a mystical muse
The muse appears uncalled and unforeseen
But exits suddenly as it came …

Then when spaces prevail in the togetherness
And the artist seeks on with a clouded vision
What appears seems beyond comprehension
Every moment begets its own challenge

When thoughts seem too scattered
When emotions need time to settle
When silence tends to stifle
When every endeavour hits rock bottom

Trust in the knowing
The muse will touch you
In the oddest moment
As it knows not time
To  give your thoughts a new pattern
Although the path is of your own making.

Every creative endeavour is an undefinable journey of peaks and pitfalls , of highs and lows. The artist can find themselves at crossroads  questioning  their very existence and therefrom find new paths to forge ahead in creativity.  The challenge is to take it all in your stride knowing ‘to create is a responsibility’ and hence the apparent strifes prepare you in the process towards your purpose of being . 

Flow is a matter of faith and trust when you know ‘All is in a state of flow’                Self belief takes shape in the form of a Muse and leads you on to a state of creative flow once more .

These verses are my humble dedication to the Creative Enigma of the fascinating  Leonard Cohen. RIP

“It said, ‘Well Marianne, it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon.

“Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.

“And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and for your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey.

“Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.’”

Mollestad told host Rosemary Barton that when he read the line “stretch out your hand”, Ihlen had stretched out her hand.

Seeing Beyond The Looking

Intersection

Artwork Savvy Raj  Title: Intersection  www.savvyraj.com

The Art of Science & the Science of Art.

 

There is more science in art than we ever will know and there is more art in science than we can ever sense.Yes, everyone is entitled to a difference of opinion and that at times may prove to be a costly mistake. However we are not into mistakes at the moment but about the art of science that acknowledges the metaphysical aspects of being seeing, knowing and sensing in the living among others.

Yes, science is evidence and proof based. It is logical and conclusive which makes it irrefutable but that is where it is stumped in reflectivity of the limitations that does not acknowledge the potential of infinite possibilities. Inroads in science although has travelled much in time has yet to prove a great many things about life and existence.

 

 

Although it is known to be a fact that the University of Bern did reject Einstein’s initial application for a doctorate in 1907, the above letter may have been verified for authenticity and questioned on many accounts after it became viral on social media. The letter for Einstein may have had its moments of the disappointment of how the world has perceived his vision at that moment. But time and space dimensions changed the entire picture for him and the world at large and what he said became relevant for its theory for those interested in the subject, its impact opened up new dimensions of thought.

Art takes a holistic view of the nature of life and is inclusive and expansive in nature. And this fundamental difference becomes the point of distinction which makes a huge difference in the art of seeing beyond the looking.

The acceptance of the manifold possibility that art brings could be the very reason for its expansive potential in world affairs and resolutions whether it is a matter of peace or war. Having said so, solutions are not in either art or science alone but is in the emergence of a stream of consciousness in awareness of a meeting point of art and science, the melting pot in convergence to transcendence. A space that is inclusive of the ‘ Artistically scientific’ in temperament and ‘Scientifically artful’ in structure. And we have travelled on far, as we stand today from the looks of it, the realisation is knocking already. It is just a matter of speculative probability on what swings the door open and how aesthetically we do it.

The Bridge

Leave a comment

There is no sight of the other end of the bridge you are on,

But you believe there is another end.

Heaven knows, it may just be a beginning.

It is bleak and blurry from this end.

Given the bridge is aged and countlessly trodden,

It hangs on a hair of hope,

And yet makes up for a path

To the other side.

A journey into the unknown

Taken only in faith and trust

Works to connect the missing link

Between the known and the unknown.

When and if life puts you on this bridge in time

As you stand staring at destiny in the eye,

Take a breath to remember that it is not the bridge you need to put your faith on

But in the heart of the feet that takes the step.

Dedicated to all those who dared to take the leap of faith from the known to the unknown.

Circles of Compassion

A Painting by Savvy Raj Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com

Compassion is a  gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually entrenched in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength … therein lies the success of steering towards peace and humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.

  Every compassionate thought that is then spread out will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of  Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.

We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share,  there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.

Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !

Shine on …
