Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world
Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles
For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…
For others it may be personal
And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.
Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.
Savvy
The past is clutching you
But choose to sculpt a new now
Shed your old skin
Unclasp the tags.
Yesterday may hold you captive
But choose to chisel on relentlessly
Bit by bit…
And free yourself from its vice like grip.
Your tommorow awaits in patience,
Trust, all is well in time.
Shape yourself into who you are.
Savvy Raj
(My verses in a flow, inspired by the image share that came my way.)
What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?
It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.
Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self
And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.
On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️

This post actually was inspired by a comment from my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.
Her comment made me stop and think of how much even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.
Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.
Savvy
Storms rage and ravage
They lay waste the efforts
And destruct many a lives.
Yet they rise, only to fall
When the storm subsides
The world picks up the pieces
Of the then and now…
To build again in hope
That tommorow is another new day.
But storms that pass, often leave imprints;
Of traumas in those testing times
Of fear in the back of the mind.
They appear in dreams
Almost as if it is reality.
They create confusion in the sanest of times
But when the heart knows
That fear is just the mind
Playing its tricks again.
It becomes brave
And continues to beat stronger
And life dances to its beats…
For it has survived the storm.
Rest all is history 💙
Storms have a way of playing with our life even when they have long subsided.
The brewing storm in our thoughts and dreams may seem fearful yet they also bring perspective to empower ourselves.
I write these verses inspired by the reading the title and verses of this poem, this morning. Thank you 🙏 poeticmobility.
And the image here is from my Ai artwork collections, for I somehow feel it belongs here as well.
I leave a question here for you to reflect upon…
Every life has survived its own share of storms
Leaving much wisdom in the learnings behind.
What lesson has your heart learned after the storm?

Smile from the heart… Help without expectations Care without agenda Paint with love Sense the love! Express yourself! Share the love… You do not live each day to discover what it holds for you, but to create it! Lets start by creating some positive thoughts in and around us! Savvy
Think Positive Do Positive
A true learners mind never ages
For they have the curiosity of a child
A blank slate where learning can be added
An earnestness in exploration
A trustful disposition
An open mind that allows expansion…
And most of all a readiness to learn
To imbibe knowledge and update the self.
When the mind is ready
The understanding happens
Savvy
Over the years
Living life teaches much.
Every person in your life
has an unique role to play.
Sometimes they are necessary for you
at times, you are necessary for them.
Life happens along the way,
leaving lessons fine.
Your emotional equation matters more than you think.
Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.
Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.
Choose your circle, its your right.
Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…
You have one life.
Choose well…
Savvy
Right here
In the middle
Lives transformation.
Change starts
In the middle of it all
In the feeling
In the awareness
That something
Is happening.
So, true transformation too is not a one off act in the edge of things or only where you are pushed to the extremes. True change for the better lives in the middle of consistent moments of effort coupled with awareness.
It could start right now in the middle of it all.
Are you here in this now?
Savvy
If you ever find yourself belittled, unable to express yourself because you are stifled;
Remember…not to shrink.
Trust in your self.
Know there is always a space for you that allows you to grow and evolve
You and your presence matters.
Find your space.
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

As you choose to fly free
As you brave new winds
As you discover new horizons
Always remember who has your back.
The bonds of love are there for a reason…
To be nurtured and cherished by its sheer presence
For to be lovingly supported is a blessing of grace.
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?
The challenge…
Often relationships are exacting,
at times to the point of saturation.
The heart & mind battle
in contemplations of resolutions.
The space…
For your own well being,
create a meaningful space around you.
The renewal…
Fill it with all that you want,
be it a hobby or passion.
Let it be something, that gives emotional comfort.
And watch it awaken your inspiration.
Savvy
In reflection, here are three questions, for you.
In the battle of the heart & mind which one do you usually tend to listen first?
When the outside world feels just a little too heavy, what gives you emotional comfort?
If you could carve an hour out of your week just for yourself, what passion would you fill it with?
In the vortex of life
arrives the gift of changes;
the breaking of the bubbles,
Of long held beliefs,
Of false ego and resistance
Of fear that limits.
Like the wind that’s too fierce to contain…
Cleaning the cobwebs of confusion.
And life transforms for the better.
