On Wings Of Grace

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.

The Quality Of The Spirit

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?

Living Meaningfully

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?

The Gift Of Change

Here I share one of my own paintings and a personal  favorite fron my collection.
Savvy Raj

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.

Harness…

Harness your uncertainty

Your doubts dance on thin air

Blow on it with confidence

Choose to work on clarity

Voice and express your opinions

Make communication your friend

Gain trust back in decisiveness

Choose to respect diversity

But opt to share goals

Mastering the comeback

Collaborate on mutual strengths

Tune in to envision solutions.

Levity of spirit

A little lightness of being

Takes you through the day

Dark moments turn lighter

Inject a dash of humor

When life feels too somber

Uplifting the moments…

So partake in a little levity of spirit

Its good for the soul .

Mind over matter

When mind  is over matter

It reflects in every cell

When you keep the faith

Living in gratitude

And be thankful…

Life becomes beautiful.

Choice rests with you

Live life lovingly 💙

After the storm

The magic of first steps

The chaos of the chase

The applause of hitting milestones

The struggles of staying afloat in crisis

The highs of flying on the tailwinds

The lows of facing the headwinds

All lessons for life

There is no mountain

Without a valley to cross

The struggles of the climb

Amplifies the success at the summit.

Reach beyond knowing

Every step leads the way

Trust the self  in every step

Let the clouds roll in

For the view is truly worth it all…

After the storm.

Own your truths

Mistakes we all make

In life there are ups , downs

But stability  comes

In knowing where you are.

What you are doing

How you are feeling

Doing what you do.

And course correcting

In case it feels not quite there.

Then in sharing your thoughts

Your life’s learning

To those on the path next

It’s a way of opening hearts

To express without fear of ridicule

Even if your misses are many, 

And roads made you lose ur way

You still found yourself

And are here breathing

Living in this now .

So there, do try to own your truths

Misses and wins

You share as you learn

And learn as you share.

The choice is yours to take

Crossing over
Bridges of time
Beginning to end
Ending to begin again
In body spirit & souls
Infinite forms of expressions
Between betwixt & beyond
Bonding new & old
In part & whole
Tuning into the sounds
Of harmony & rhythm
Inexplicable joys
Of moments in movements
As paths are splayed
Across time to tide over
In every moment
The choice is yours to take.

A ladder

A ladder is a link

A point of interconnections

A bridge between two sides

Between two opposites.

A ladder is not always to climb

A ladder leads you to connect

But the choice is yours

If you want to lead or be led by it.

Climb the ladder with confidence

Continue to bridge over challenges

Meet the changes with integrity

Dare the new horizons in hope.

Expression

How are you in this moment ?

Are you ok?

Every once in a while

Just ask yourself  these simple questions.

And let yourself  answer

As the thoughts flow

Jot them down

There is much healing

In the journaling of thoughts

In expressing your feelings

On paper or to another

In simply voicing it out

Giving a path to let the steam off.

Build yourself  up with care

Connect with a deeper breath

And listen keen as you exhale.

As you externalize, you create space

And understand yourself more.

The Mountain Beckons…

Across this desert of life
There is a mountain that beckons you.
That emits calm.
It invites you into its fold
Although the path is treacherous and tricky
You will lead yourself to it 
For in its wake,  the light of soul blooms
Your spirit awakens
And your body regenerates.
As you reach its pinnacle
You look onwards and upwards
You see the light of a thousand stars
Shining on you, their cosmic lights

There is nothingness
And yet everything-ness.
A feeling of calm and composure
Envelopes you in its presence
That soothes your soul.
The air filled with an ambient  pure fragrance
Of the mystical flowers  as you sense it in resonance.
Healing you
And empowering you,

With the strength of stability in its sureness.

Story of strength 

In Japan, a ten-year-old boy had a goal of becoming a judo champion.

However, he was disabled. He didn’t have a left arm.

Becoming a judo champion is a huge challenge even for those with strong arms and legs.

What could a boy without one arm do?

He approached many trainers.

All of them looked at him with pity and sent him back.

The boy didn’t lose heart. He kept trying.

Finally, one trainer agreed to teach him judo.

The training started. The trainer taught him only one move.

Days, weeks, and months passed. The trainer didn’t seem to teach him anything else. The boy got frustrated.

“Master, knowing just one move isn’t enough to become a judo champion. Will you teach me anything else?” he asked.

“If you master this one move, that’s enough,” the trainer replied.

There was no arguing with the trainer. The boy continued his practice.

He mastered that single move well.

The championship began!

First match: A well-trained opponent against this boy who knew only one move.

The match started. To the surprise of the audience, the boy won.

Second match: He won again.

He continued to advance and reached the semi-finals.

He struggled a bit but won that match too.

Now it was the final match.

His opponent was a multiple-time champion. He felt a bit of pity and some disdain for the boy without an arm. But the boy didn’t falter.

The match started. In the first round, the opponent knocked the boy down.

Seeing the boy’s condition, the audience was shocked. The organizers considered stopping the match.

“Let the boy fight,” said the trainer.

The opponent, now careless, thought he didn’t need any safety gear to fight this boy.

The boy executed the one move he knew with great force. The opponent fell.

The boy became the champion.

The audience couldn’t believe it, and the competitors were astonished.

Even the boy couldn’t believe his victory.

That evening, he asked his trainer.

“Master, how did I win this match? I won with just one move,” he said.

Smiling, the trainer replied, “There are two reasons for your success.”

First, you have mastered one of the most difficult moves in judo.

Second, the only way to counter that move is for the opponent to grab your left arm. But you don’t have a left arm!

“Your weakness turned into your strength and made you a champion!”

The boy marveled at the trainer’s words. He felt joy thinking about how his weakness had become his strength.

Each of our minds is a sea of talents. Diving into it can yield pearls or shells, depending on how long we hold our breath.

Every person is endowed with unique talents by God. Our success lies in discovering and utilizing them.
