This morning I started my day with a beautiful book gifted by my daughter to me called… ‘Light from many Lamps.
I was inspired just sensing the light of life in each chapter…
So yes, ‘Books are life’ and I have, had and hope I continue to have all the energy to read some more…
What is your recent read?

This life I am in,
Is beyond emotions & intellect.
Way beyond feelings & senses.
Beyond the pain & peace of the moment.
Beyond the pressures of life & living.
Hence I am not my peace.
And I am not my pain.
I am not the height of happiness.
I am not the depth of sorrows.
In the infinite resonance
In the dance of conscious awareness
A living spark of the cosmos.
Savvy
Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.
Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.
Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond speech, I am the breath that experiences life.
Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be. 🙏
Join in with me for a moment of alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole. 🙏
Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’

The sky lights up
This morning
In ethereal light…
And in moments
It feels like twilight,
Where light seems engulfed
But it is already dawn.
Perhaps the sun is hidden
For a fleeting while,
Waiting for clouds to pass
Only to shine again.
In this moment
Of in-betweens,
Before light shines
Its brilliance again,
Let me take a moment
To feel the senses
Telling me to ease in to this now.
Breathe the cool wind
And pause to witness
The unfolding play
Of light of day.
The sun is patient
And humble,
Awaiting its turn…
Let me stay patient
And hopeful
In this play of light.
Light is meant to shine.
Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…
Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.
Savvy
In this now I inhale peace
In this now I exhale love
In this now I sense calm
In this now I share a smile.
In this now what I can do
Matters than, then & later
For it sets the course ahead
Aligning past with present.
In this now lives potential
In this now, is the power of choice
In every now that is…
Choose well.
Savvy
Walk in Light
Why walk in shadows of dark
When light is iust around the bend.
Walk in light.
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.
Trust your inner light
To show you the way
Love the light,
That you actually are!
Savvy
Calm eyes and ears
Resting and recovering
From relentless chaos
Blowing in the wind…
Seeing only a trickle of light
And sound from nature in harmony.
To energize in hope once more.
Savvy
Sharing my visual verse… inspired by the photo.

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.

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.”
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.

An artist leaves much more
than creativity in the artwork.
There is a voice in every frame,
speaking deeply if you care to listen.
That voice carries the artist’s choices
of color and composition,
of style and strokes,
of moods and feelings
breathed into the birth of art.
The artist speaks through the work.
The energy of the artist is embedded
in words, in lines, in shapes and forms.
When a piece feels complete,
the artist releases it to the world.
And yet, the energy lives on,
transforming itself through time
and the spaces it inhabits.
Art is transformed again
in translation and interpretation,
reshaped by those who encounter it.
As creators, whether of images or words,
our work continues to live,
each viewer or reader sensing its energy uniquely.
And so it flows…
transforming itself in time.
Savvy Raj
Nature of humans.
Nurtured in love.
Seeding compassion
Watered in hope.
Reared in kindness.
Strengthened in trustfulness.
Rooted in connectedness
Fortified in faith.
Sustains humanity.
Savvy
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 ?

Resilience is developed in time.
In every fall.
In every blow
In every painful experience.
The power rests with you to work on yourself.
Resilience is about nurturing what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling the situation at hand.
Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary moments that you have with you.
Resilience is being able to smile from the heart, knowing your circumstances dont define you.
In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge from it stronger.
While resilience is in learning from experiences and strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…
Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking like the mighty oak tree,
Resilience is creating yourself in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.
Resilience means, you are very much present and it means you are evolving from your experiences for the better.
In times of being resilience
You become the master of your life.
You steer on in faith
no matter the rudder is way off.
Knowing you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.
Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives
You are like an artist creating something from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience results are awaiting you in trust & time.
Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.
What is resilience to you?
When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?
Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.

Magnanimous grace
Of the divine infinite,
Blessings flow in its presence.
In this ocean of abundance,
Stay still in the tremors.
Keep the faith
In every moment..
Let go of fear & worry.
Know you have the universe
Within, with & around you.
Savvy
You are not defined
By riches or possessions.
You are defined
By the attitude you carry.
Anchored in faith
No matter the storm.
You are defined
By the energy you emanate…
In the choices you make,
In the decisions you take.
Way beyond circumstances.
It is a quality of the spirit.
Greater the refinement,
Greater the grace.
Savvy Raj
A question in reflection…
When the world outside gets chaotic, what is that within you that keeps you anchored?
