Let’s just be

Lovely lines that resonate with me deeply…

We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.
Haile Selassie

A few contemplations on the same lines…

Lets envision

Beyond borders

Marked on maps

Of human existence

To know we are far more

Than our notions & judgement

We are lifes assertions

In hope & faith

Of the expansive infinite

Thats inclusive of one & all

That every life on earth

Has a purpose & reason to be

Lets acknowledge

This truth of being humane

Than just human.

And beyond all that we must

Do and say in life & living

Let’s just be …

A layered pathway

The road of learning

Is a layered pathway

Not traversed in a day

But a journey of exploration

Adding to the layers

Of knowledge in the seeking

Of wonder in the discovering

Unfolding multiple perspectives

Including possibilities in the flow

Unearthing more in the sharing

Learning is layers of experiences

Textured with every application

Toned with the river of time.

Every cup has a purpose.

In between moments of a frantic day 

Or the restlessness of boredom

Its nice to settle in with a cup of your favourite  beverage.

If not for anything else

Just to pause and gather yourself

It creates a space to ponder

And reflect in wonder

And  in those moments 

Its never dull and senseless

At times it even sparks an idea

Almost out of nowhere

In the association of thoughts

In the camaraderie shared

Every sip seems to soothe

And yet inspire some more

Now think of life too this way

Life is never meant to be rushed

Life is not life if it feels unloved

Take time to live it.

The way is yours to sense & create

The ingredients  of a good life

Is the concoction of your choices.

What you make with it

Is what you are left with

Keep it inspirational.

When the spirit blooms…

Nature knows where to bloom.

But it knows when to bloom as well.

The seasons change

Signaling  the cycle of life.

Signs of life evolving

The seeds planting itself firmly

Ensconced in a shell in patience

Until its time comes.

Simply know…

You are the light of that seed

Emerging in time

Beyond the doubts of limitations

Guided in the alchemy of soul

In the synchrony of spirit

Aligned in faith and self belief.

As the path unfolds in time

You find your way unto the self

As much as make sense of the beyond.

Journey on with passion for life

Towards finding the purpose

Bridging the emotions & actions

Creating harmony in the being

It is in such moments

The spirit blooms.

A whimsical world

A painting by Savvy

A fantastical experience

A whimsical world

Makes for a great safespace

From the rigors of existence

Yet its not an escape

More, a choice of the moment

To be whimsical, unexpectedly so.

Where imagination is your ally

Spirited with a a little levity.

Emboldened by quirkiness

The ordinary seems extraordinary.

A spring in the step

A song on your lips

Lightness of spirit

Shines out your soul.

Moving through the mire

Sink not into the mire

In doubts of despair

Choose to move yourself out

In thoughts words & deeds

Engage with  your passions

Dedicate your time with purpose

Light in yourself a spark of fire

Choose to move through 

And well beyond the mire.

Sensing perfect grace

I know…

The power of grace

Is perfection personified

Restoring faith in the self.

Sensing perfect grace

In all that I feel, think & do.

In all times

I am whole and complete

In every step I take

I see beautiful ways

Unfolding for me

I choose the power of love

As I walk through it.

All is well.

Savvy

Please feel free to repeat this affirmation  whenever  you feel the need for some self care.

Every me

Compassion towards the self is a critically necessary part of self acceptance and acknowledgement through self-expression, channeling and releasing emotions constructively.

A note in gratitude to the self.

Every me that lived and loved
Every me that lost and gained
Every me that helped & healed
Every me that fumbled & failed
Every me that connected & cared
Every me that was tried & tested
Every me that trusted & trained
Every me that learned & learns
Every me in every movement
Every me of my past to present
I love with all my heart
In compassion & kindness.
I am grateful to all of me
Of the past present & future
being all that was,is, and will be.

Life echoes

Life echoes

In the space between & betwixt

There are patterns of existence

Mapping itself in the shaping .

Sense the sounds of life.

Affirming itself  in the living 

Echoes of resonance

Circling in the experiences

Spiraling and swiveling

Bending time & spaces

The magic of interconnections

Creating order in the chaos

Threading in the inter weaving 

All in a stringed consciousness.

The River Within

There is a river within

That is flowing

On its own path

Coursing through the veins

Drawing from the souls well.

The well of the infinite

Unfolds many a paths

For the river to take

The river chooses its way

To flow on…

There is strength of the flow

In the movements

In the flexibility

In the adaptability

In supporting the body.

There is a journey onwards

Towards acknowledging

The purpose of the flow

The river perseveres

Until the moment of fulfillment…

When the river meets the sea.

The above AI imagery  was prompted by me a while back in time… I just found a new interpretation to it today.

Books

I wonder…

What constitutes a good read?

A prose, a poem

A verse, or a couplet

A stanza, a paragraph

A page in a book

That begins to draw our attention

Compelling us to read more…

Books 📚

Somewhere in our hearts

Emerge words of emotions

Birthed in feelings

We begin to identify with words

In the pages of the books we read

It starts to make sense

To connect us with ourselves

For a fleeting moment at times

Or it makes us linger on

For it takes us places & spaces

That matters much to us

Somewhere in our hearts 💕

Somewhere in our mind

We know a good book

We appreciate the substance

We allow the words we read

To touch of thoughts

To influence our life

It makes a difference

A positively impactful difference.

Stringing words

I came across a set of some very fancy words today …

And I immediately couldn’t resist  finding the string of connection in them.

It all began, having a little reverie
Laying at early dawn, sensing the peiskos.
With open French windows
It was a gentle, zephyr morning
My heart was in a fika state.
Feeling the munificience
my thoughts were aliferous
As a philocalist of nature
It felt as if there was redemancy from nature
In the querencia of my being.

I enjoyed  this little creative writing practice for today.

Yes,I must add some of these words were completely new to me that I checked their meanings. And some I have come across earlier . 

I have highlighted all the words .If you enjoy this, feel free to string your own versions of verses incorporating  all these words and share them below. Would love to read.

Let yourself fly…

Go with the wind & fly free

Unafraid of the uncertainty

Sometimes, the chances you take

In going with the flow

You find yourself

Lost at first, maybe,

Yet, right where u are meant to be.

Think about it this way

Every way seems to make sense.

Fly free.

On Creativity

Art of creativity
Is to acknowledge
The flow of possibilities
Shaping seemingly
Lifeless matter
To birthing life in art

Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.

To train the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge in confidence
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of infinite creative capabilities.

P.s : I enjoyed painting this Art work above. It was created  by me on my phone while traveling  somewhere in Europe.

Limitless being

Unframe & Reframe

Breakthroughs happen 

In the unframing.

As you break through limiting yourself

From cycles of conditioning

You will realize the truths

Of your potential.

You are far more

Than you allow yourself

To believe.

So move beyond

Cycles of limitations

Choose to  rise above & see beyond

And over the challenges

Change the narrative

Reframe your thoughts

You are more than you know now

Sustain yourself

To find your limitless being.
