Things happen, and just when it all feels dark, there is a crack…
Where light enters in hope!
There is always a reason why, nothing is accidental. The cracks are where light shines through , like the crack of dawn.And the sooner in time, in the tiniest cracks, whenever the ego shatters to transform itself in humility, all resets in transcendence to begin again, renewed in purpose.
Such is the nature of life & living.
All is well in hope.

To evolve into a better version of the self…
You incrementally make the moves towards it.
If you sense frustration and angst choose to make sense of where you are in this now…
Are you angry at something beyond your control?
When you realise you cannot change another then be wise to improve yourself.
Be assertive and you will sense confidence.
Choose to be self aware and have the courage to dare to speak for yourself.
You are your best friend, you don’t need anothers validation.
Own your truths. Both strengths and weaknesses. And work on improving your self in conscious ways, step by step .
It all starts with you taking the step.
Would you agree?

Here’s a thoughtworthy share
Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.
After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said “You’re Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!”
“How in the world did you know that?” asked Vishal.
“I packed your parachute,” the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.
Vishal couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker”
So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.
We need many kinds of parachutes– we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.
We call on all these supports before reaching safety.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.
We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.
As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
Happy New Year

On Intentions and Actions
Whenever we want or intend for something we must also be ready to do something about it.
Here are few ‘Wants ‘and Intentions and what one can to do about it.
If you want happiness try making another happier.
True joy comes to you when you serve another.
Serve yourself some laughter if you want your spirit to feel free.
Fill your day with Gratitude whenever you are looking for Abundance.
And if you want friendship to manifest in life why not start by being your own best friend.
If you are searching for love why not begin to love your self ♥️
Also, choose to take a walk in nature if you are intending for some more insightful perspectives .
I for one can vouch for the creative ideas and reflections that a simple walk brings to me.
Have a beautiful blessed
New year 2025
Live life lovingly!

Wisdom continues to evolve
As change is the only constant
Knowing is never enough
Discerning knowledge with application makes all the difference.
Age of Aquarius
Some see it as the Age of the Aquarius, a dawn of enlightenment, but it is also a sign of changing times when there is greater access to knowledge and increased interest in holistic & spiritual practices and greater receptivity & awareness of values of empathy compassion and collaboration and therein interconnections.
Speaking of technology its transformations, while we are better informed, the human aspect of intuitive and ethical considerations play a significant role in understanding and application of this new age wisdom.
Now, this rise of a new age of wisdom could also mean more inclusive and divergent thinking in a more conscious and enlightened world.
The question then is, what resonates within and what we choose to do with it.

Where there are no rules that bound
Where the music leads and you follow
Where there is no end and no beginning
Where the river of time
Meets you as you want to
Where heart fields are open
To receive the infinite truths
You know..
All is in the flow as you sense you are the flow.
Savvy
Every move has a reaction
In the cause and effect world
Forms shifting shapes
Colours changing hues
Where even the blink of an eye
A touch of the breeze
Or even a silent intention
Can set off a symphony in response
For all is aligned in connection.
Twisted or helical structure
In a Self arranging universe
Reflecting retracting
Rotating revolving
Tuning itself in time
Blending in the balancing
Altered by sensitivity in subtlety
Interplay of Intelligence
Telling phenomenonal stories
Holding immense possibilities
In its infinite potential
Awaiting mindful application
In the journey of awakenings .
All is a dance of matter.

I came across these lines this morning…
We either make ourselves miserable ,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same
— Carlos Castaneda —
Questions for the self
What are your thoughts like?
What is the work you do making you feel?
What is the energy you sense ?
Are you feeling strengthened by it?
Your answers will reveal much to you.

As writers I am pretty sure many of us can relate to this …
A few thoughts on writing and how it helps me every day.
I write with a sincere heart
Honouring the words that flow
Feeling the truth of my potential
As the waves of thoughts
Light my day, along the way…
As much as my spirit & soul
It’s one of my self care routine
To sense & emote and express
Without fear or favour.
So grateful for the blessings,
It gives.
🙏
On writing every day
I have been writing every day for almost a decade now, it has become a well ingrained habit. I thoroughly enjoy my me time. Most days it’s every morning time that I pen my thoughts, but I never force it to a particular time. Someday it’s a joy to write down whenever I feel the inspiration.
And Inspiration is everywhere
I simply started on a lark and what is beautiful is, every day there is always something that inspires the words . And I hope to continue as long as the words flow…
How has writing improved your life ?
How do you approach your writing?
Savvy
Every thing that interests you
Every word that you choose to hear & say
Every book you choose to read
Every thing you choose to do
Every place you choose to be
Is an open book of yourself
Your choices come from you
You have it all within
In your choices is a dimension
Of your own truths.
Embedded with in you
Awaiting emergence.
You manifest your own way.
Savvy
Often we are so full of ourselves.
So focussed on our thoughts
On our ways and deeds
That we forget to pay attention.
There is a world beyond us.
That’s full of promise
Of possibilities in it’d potential
To help and heal us
Only if we truly take our time
To listen well and be there .
Listen to understand and care
Listen to learn and know
Listen to explore the unsaid
Listen keen and deep.
The answers to many of life’s challenges is in listening
Listen well, it heals one another.
Savvy
Workers want to be Executives
Executives want to be Managers
Managers want to be Leaders
Leaders want to be Founders
Founders want to be Investors
Investors want profits over people.
Truth is…
Even if one of them are there for the right reasons, it starts to make a meaningful difference.
Savvy Raj
And sometimes when things don’t go as planned
May be you have been saved from some unknown obstacle
May be it wasn’t the right time
May be its all for the better.

A Painting by Savvy Raj
Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com
I wrote this poem below years ago. I had no idea about who Julia Hill was back then. And today I was reminded of my poem, when I came across her story. She is an American Activist who saved Luna the redwood tree by living in it to prevent loggers from cutting off the tree and refusing to backdown.
Today I dedicate this very poem to her and the likes of her and their unwavering spirit to save trees.
The Lady on the Tree.
In the centre of placid calm stands an angel of hope and resilience.
She has birds of hope surrounding her haloed presence.
Be like the lady on the tree.
In the stillness of the water… sensing your spirit feel so free,
Climb the tree in the serenity of the calm and unwind.
Bring composure to the cursory mind.
Move away from the mundane.
And feel more humane.
See the birds dancing by your side,
Singing their sweet songs of hope that will always reside!
Tread gently and softly move
In your journey as you find your groove.
Climb that tree and rest awhile.
Witness the water silently settle.
Renew your spirit and discover your mettle.
Delve in the solitude, seeking the clarity in the calm, unbound
As in still waters run deep, the wisdom profound.
