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.

Let’s nurture nature

Every bit of matter
In this now is integral
To the whole of existence
Every man made change
Changes our world
In more ways than one
For subtle shifts of energy
Can create massive  environmental phenomena
Altering the course of future.
Isn’t it time to recognize
The misses
Alter the errors
And pave the way
For a more responsible
Coexistence
Life is a gift
Let’s nurture nature.

Even a single step matters …

Let’s start with even one of  the three things we all can easily do…

1. Grow native plants  that survive and  thrive easily and create an ecosystem that will improve the biodiversity.

2. Save water  recycle waste water lets treat every drop of water as precious.

3. Water plants with water used for washing vegetables rice or lentils.
Then not a single drop of water will be wasted .

Truth of Nature

Rain

It is the nature of rain
To wash away the dust
Until it’s clean and green.
Yet, too much rain
Floods and destroys.
Such is the truth of nature.


Each element of nature
Is balanced with the other.
The dry lands help sustain the wetlands…
One supports another
To sustain and thrive.
Such is the truth of nature.


Desert


Desert sand blows in the wind…
Winds carry the dust
Across the world,
Over lands and water,
Finding new settlements.


The truth of nature
Is the interconnections.
The kind that keeps us alive,
The kind we may not realize,
The kind we need to emulate
In this now and for our future,
To survive and thrive.

Just think…

If nature survives through quiet reciprocity, perhaps our own survival depends on learning to receive what is given, and giving what is needed.

Todays freeverses are inspirations that arrived  from contemplations with Anjana, my dear mother.

Doing good anyway

Do good

And when you do

Think not of acknowledgement

Nor recognition

Do good

From the goodness of your heart

And you will find joy in it.

Make it a practice everyday

To do at least one good  deed .

And soon it will become a habit

That happens naturally

And just know

In time…

You will do good anyway

All in good time …

It’s worth pausing…

Contemplation before  knee jerk reactions will always be beneficial

The truth is cultivating the art of patience takes time and consistent endeavour .

And yes it all adds up to self belief,  trust and faith , valuing the precious now in this journey .

All is well in time.
All in good time.

So you are angry?

So you are angry?

Now what?

Do you think it is helping you ?

For anger never helps

It only hurts .

Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.

1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding  in your anger is the first step

2.Counting backwards  from 20 to 1.

3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.

4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to  create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.

For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different  feelings.

Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can  evoke a sense of ease.

5. Better still  is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling. 

6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out  even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.

Remember  to acknowledge  your emotions  as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy  pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing  into your life

Live life lovingly💙

Living life, learning…

In a conflict ridden world

All we can do, is to learn

What not to do…

For we are not the only ones here

There was life before us & after us

There is life in and around  us

And we need to value life

That will manifest after us

And acknowledge what is

And do whatever we can

To save the only world we have.

Master or slave

AI is very much here

And is entrenched itself

In every part of our life

Yet the question remains

More in the times of now 

Are we the master or the slave?

What do you think?

A tiny seed

A tiny seed is inspirational

To push past the mighty earth

And assert itself in this world

Bearing abundant fruits

Blossom with  beautiful flowers

And thrive into a towering tree…

All happens well in faith.

Dance of matter

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.

Your choices, your way

A painting by Savvy Raj

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.

What is something you love about nature?

The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling  views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?

What do you see?

What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Is it the nature of the land?

Do you sense the sandstorm?

Do you see the vivid colours of the womens clothes juxtaposed against the barren land?

Do you see them huddle together taking refuge with no where to go?

This picture evokes emotions.

The wind, the women

Heads to toe covered 

Yet braving the sun barefoot 

The sand across the land

The parched dry pots.

What else do you see?

And life goes on

Image Credits  Social Media forward

What was freshness of springtime

Matures with the changing seasons

At times hot dry or humid  summers makes life unbearable

Soon the downpour of rains flood the parched land with greens

Another autumn as orange rust leaves renew themselves

Winter chills brings it’s own white snow at will

Trees bereft of leaves lay bare their dark branches

Awaiting for another change  of season.

And life goes on…

Acknowledge Accept Know

Acknowledge…
Betwixt and between
The you & I,
The us and the we,
Is a ocean of multiverses.
A tapestry of metaverses  Springing into existence
Creating connection
Beyond compare
Ingenious innovation
Reaching beyond the known
Forging ahead dimensions
Unfolding technology
With palpable sensations
Creating new possibilities
Exploring potential
Understanding elements
Of space, time and distance
Challenging norms
Quantifying needs & wants
Finding solutions
In a changing world
Simplifying complexities
In the realms of life & living.

Yet as this booming bubbles
Is it a catalyst of changes?
Some sensational and brilliant
Some scary & confounding.
Simply know it’s on its way
And is here to stay
As our world will redefine
Life beyond existence…

Accept…
There is bound to be a boom
Colloidal chaos & confusion
In chasing an unreal world
And finding hope to live on
In the very illusions in making.

Know…
Every thing life appears now
Is a momentary phenomenon.

Of perceptions that deliver
The solutions for life in the soul.
