Every Decade Teaches

Every decade teaches …

At ten

Life is innocence

At twenty

Life is discovery

At thirty

Life is pursuit

At forty

Life is awareness

At fifty

Life is experiences

At sixty

Life is expansion

At seventy

Life is inclusion

At eighty

Life is  rememberence

At ninety

Life is grace

At hundred & plus

Life is a testament

Of a lifetime lived.

Yet life is in this now…

Live life lovingly.

PS : A simple take on life so far, and in witnessing life & the living  around me.  I know life cannot be summed up in a word and there is much I want to add for every  decade… moreover  some words I have described may be experienced earlier  or later.

So to each their own…

Are you healthy and heard?

Life is a series of interconnections.The conversations and dialogues make life meaningful.

Life is meant to be expressed and experienced.You are healthier as you speak create love and listen.And you are even healthier if you feel heard. Being heard and understood feels like a boost for the body mind & spirit.

The cost of loneliness is a heavy price to pay.And so is the cost being ignored, undervalued, humiliated.And  equally heavy is the price of indifference.

When voices are minimized and presence dismissed, the direct effects are loneliness and isolation.The body remembers and reacts to the rejection showing up in symptoms and diseases, for the emotional walls manifests itself in inexplicable ways…

Restoring the sense of self is about creating sharing opportunities fornot just personal expression but about being heard & feeling understood.

It’s not about  the space we occupy, but the life we live.

The conversations & dialogues we have,

The learnings & understanding we share

Makes life meaningful in the interactions.

Life cannot be contained in a vacuum.

We are healthier in expression

Life is not just to exist but to  to lived.

Such is the truth of life.

To express & create

To speak &  listen

Is to bridge the gaps

Healing one another

In inclusion that we matter.

Creating belonging & restoration of wellbeing

Shielding hearts in health

And a sense of community.

Such is the power of health in feeling heard .

The Human Connection

Writing & commenting

after a hiatus…

am seeing a sea change

as a reader of WordPress.

Perfect poems

Perfect lines,

perfect emotions

perfect comments…

almost to distraction.

All thanks to Ai.

Yet, I miss the human touch.

that errs and learns.

The typos, the misses

the spirit & the soul.

Dont you?

I was almost about to reply to a perfect comment that I sensed the play of Ai in it… it was a tad bit disappointing at a certain  level.

While I understand it’s part of the change,and we are all responsible, the connection of the heartfelt comment is missing in all this perfection.

In striving for perfection… we are losing the warmth of the  human connection.

Whose lose is it and how is going to matter in time?

It is more about conscious choice and sharing the responsibility in the ways we use Ai.

What do you think?

Truth of Oneness

You and I
May never meet,
But our thoughts
Interweave through words.


We may have unique names,
We may have different views,
Yet our journey is entwined
In the many paths home.


In every acknowledgment
Of this great truth
Of the interconnects
We align with ourselves.


Along our unique way,
The choice is ours
To find ourselves
In one another…


Living life lovingly.

Savvy

A note in gratitude for beautiful  response in a  comment on Interwoven from a dear reader, that sparked my third poem in this series on the very essence  of  Oneness.

My first poem Interwoven spoke of the universal source (nature, sun, ocean).

The second Endless Beginnings spoke of the internal journey (storms, dust settling).

With this third poem, Oneness,  I choose to honor  the bridge between people who may have never met face to face, yet are sensing moments of oneness simply entwined through words & mutual recognition.

Thank you for reading and responding with such heartfulness… Across time and distances  whenever we pause to acknowledge these interconnections, we not only find ourselves, but also send forth a ripple in the oneness.

Interwoven

The Sun emits rays,
And it feels they are sent to Earth,
But they remain part of the source.


A drop of the ocean
Becomes rain,
And merges back
Into the ocean.


All shapes and forms
Multiply and diminish,
As part of the same source.


Every energy is as it is…
Emerging and merging,
In time and patience.


You and I are not different…
We are part
Of the same source.


All that is,
Is one with the source.


In knowing that you and I
Are part of this source,
We enact the purpose
Of our being in faith & trust…


Emerging and merging,
Living life lovingly.

Savvy

“If we are all beautifully interwoven with the same cosmic source, how can we step out into the world today and consciously choose to live life lovingly?

What happens in space, stays in space.

​Space…

is what I make of it.

​Space allows,

and restrains

all at once.

In every now,

space is filled with infinite possibilities.

​Abundance.

Potential.

All truths,

as I perceive them in space.

​Space is fluid.

Space is alive.

​Space…

is what you make of it.

​What you sense in space,

stays in space.

What happens in space,

stays in space.

​Space is wonder.

An expansive phenomenon.

​The feeling of space

for you,

for me

is deeply different.

So is its need.

​Is there a divide at all

between physics and metaphysics?

Aren’t they interwoven,

deeply interconnected?

​It is only a question

of how open we are

to understanding space,

and the possibilities

in its potential.

​It is all

In, around,

and beyond.

Fleeting memoirs

I was walking by the Seine

When the evening shadows

Danced on the water

The dusk folding in the flow

Giving in to the night.

I watched the shimmering

Of the Cresent moon

Beaming its presence

Now and then…

In this dance of light

I sense the beauty of life

The interconnects of elements

The interplay of illusions 

The tango of light & dark

The magnificence

The insignificance

I continue on my pathway

Allowing the vision

To find its purpose…

Reminiscing in the awareness

Of fleeting memoirs of time

Fleeting Memoirs:  Reflections on Live LifeLovingly podcast.


Have you ever had a moment where time seemed to slow down, and a simple walk transformed into a profound conversation with the universe?

In this episode, let me take you on a quiet, late-night walk along the banks of the River Seine in Paris. Under the gentle glow of a dancing crescent moon, I share my poem in free-verses Fleeting Memoirs, and dive into a soulful reflection on the beautiful contrasts of existence.

Tune in and lets explore:

​The delicate “tango of light and dark” in our daily lives.

Finding a sense of peace in our own magnificence and insignificance…


How to slow down, build a deeper internal awareness, and honor the fleeting moments that shape our journey.

Listen now to step away from the chatter, find your center, and learn to live life lovingly.

Rhythm Within

What is dancing to you ?

A series of steps

Or a conversation

Without words?

Dance is a connection

To the rhythm within

That moves you

To find yourself.

In dance is the magic

Of tuning  into harmony.

Whatever the form

Dance moves you

Heart & soul

To your truth .

Savvy

Dawning

When did you last look up and noticed a dawn?

Have u seen the morning dawn, fill up in the sky?
How the light
Waltzes in…

Have you witnessed the first flight of birds winging
their way into the day…

Have you seen the rising sun warming its way into the brilliance of the day…

Have you listened to the chirping of birds announcing the joy of dawn…

Have you sensed how the cold of the night warms itself in minutes into the day…
Have you felt the energy of the rays on you filling you with warmth…

The message in every dawn is hope giving
To rise with it and rest with it is the magic of it all.
Flow into your day with joy and trust the light to show you the way…

 

Listen to this episode ‘How the light enters… inspired by my poem above on my podcast The Path of Clarity.

The Power of Calm

​There is charisma in calm.

It’s the power of stillness

in life’s highs and lows.

​In calm lies confidence,

invoking assurance.

To be calm in a conversation

evokes an energy of peace…

a vibrancy devoid of agitation.

​Within the calm, there is a depth of awareness.

At the center of composure

is the potential to assimilate;

no matter the chaos,

you find your equilibrium.

Contemplations

When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?

​What does calm feel like to you in this moment?

What is the distance between you and your sense of serenity?

Where and how do you think you can find your center?

A Note on the Dawn

My morning moments hold a precious tranquility for me. I choose the dawn to set my intention for the day ahead. In the quiet moments before the world wakes, I find my creative state of flow. Although I strive to connect with this peace throughout the day, the energy of the early morning resonates most deeply. It sets the tone for everything that follows.

How do you relate to the calm of dawn?

How do you sense the power of calm?

Inch closer

Whatever it is, the wisdom that changed you,

Will one day make you give away, what it taught you.

Your’ Personal Growth ‘lies in these moments of your receiving and giving.

For then you are evolving and  fine tuning yourself under the guidance  of divine intervention.

Trust your journey. 

Listen to intuitive self

As it speaks from the depth of  your souls calling and knowing.

And remember through it all, every step of the way, you are inching closer to your true purpose.

Grateful

I am grateful  to all the seasons
To wish for only one season
Can be cruel to the world
As nature balances itself
Through every season
So I wish for cycles of seasons
All in good time
Then no summer is too hot
Or winter too cold to bear.


I wish for balance
In the seasons  to come
Be it rain or autumn
For nature to survive& thrive
The seasons  must come and go
And thats what is best for all.

Natural Balance

We all have much…

To learn from nature
On the art of balance
Of giving & receiving
If the sun gives more
The energy explodes
If  it reduces its emission
All is dense and dark

The energy of nature
Is best in equilibrium
In the giving & receiving
Like action & inaction 
Balances output & inputs
Rest & recovering phases
Prevents draining of energy
Creating sustainable balance.

Who are we?

All is not light

All is not dark

Between both

The day & night

Are shades & tones

Existing in every now

Nothing is definite

Where there is infinite

In ways & deeds

Then who are we

To judge one another

And frame them

As only black or white.

If we only could understand

The story of every shade

And every tint & tone of light.

We would think twice

Before the final verdict.

So much to discover

So much to understand

So much to know more

On who we are.

Savvy
