It’s early evening
The sunlight is still filtering in
I sit back, after a walk.
It feels like a balmy dusk
Watching dappled rain drops
Falling on verdant leaves 🍃
Petrichor fills the air
Rising from the earth
Sensing the glimmers of this now.
Serenading my senses, in serendipity…
Savvy
Let there spaces in between
Room for improvement
For growth needs it
Personal or professional
Breathe in the pause
To ponder a while
To sense the potential
To emerge from ideas
Creating possibilities.
I value the necessity of space
Between thoughts, between words,
Else
It starts feeling a little to crowded.
Creating the fog of density
Creating space creates clarity.
How much do you value your need for space?
Savvy
Reaching out to the radiance
That lights my being
Feeling the magnificent way
The glow paves my path.
Seeing the grace unfold
In all its glorious resplendence
Aligning with its presence
In the breath I take.
Witnessing life transform
As darkness gives in to light
Sensing the space of lightness
As energy balances its flow.
Soul of my soul
Your omnipresence I revere
As you work your magic
Through me…
Savvy
Letting go of one’s space
Is not easy
For it is akin to relinquishment.
Knowing how time and space
And all the other elements
Are never the same again.
Yet these experiences
manifest themselves
In the journey of life
Perhaps one or many times
For in that kind of letting go,
The ego of knowing
And assuming dissolves
Yielding space for wisdom.
Like learning is also unlearning…
Wisdom is wise in its ways.
It prefers space
And room to evolve
For it knows only too well
What is, is not all…
Change is the only constant.
Evolving through it all
Wisdom finds its space to be.
Savvy
P.S.:
These verses found their way to flow, on a particularly quiet dawn in moments of contemplation.
Sensing how letting go is not easy in our clinging to the past, be it the wins
or misses and how wisdom needs space to evolve.
And most of all as a reminder that instead of holding on to the weight of the past, if we only could allow ourselves to be in the lightness of this now…
What is that one thought or habit you’ve had to “unlearn” recently to make room for something new?
I’d love to read your thoughts below.
Was reading an article today on how education today has become more and more transactional…and how it robs the learner of the critical thinking.
I share my musings…
When education is not a buisness
When learning is not about grades
When teaching is a passion than profession.
Where doubts, perspectives are welcomed
And not sidelined or ridiculed
When questions are not means to an end
Curiosity and wonder will find its purpose…
That I am fond of writing is nothing new after all these years of blogging and writing but as a child, I remember clearly when I was asked by a school teacher to read a famous poem and share its meaning in class I dared to share a new interpretation to it…that resonated with me.
The teacher then, was not open to a change of perspective… nor ready for a deep dive on why I saw it differently. She simply wanted to finish her work without deviation. I remember sitting down that day, without feedback.
But it didn’t stop me from wonder and writing…in fact I continued to write free verses in time till date.
I write this all, for I have shifted many schools in my childhood… as my father served in the Armed forces. I have seen upclose the good, bad and ugly side of schooling.
And the plus side is, it certainly has shaped me to be, adaptable and resilient as a person in time.
There is always the plus side…
What do you think ?
Savvy
If you ever find yourself belittled, unable to express yourself because you are stifled;
Remember…not to shrink.
Trust in your self.
Know there is always a space for you that allows you to grow and evolve
You and your presence matters.
Find your space.
Savvy
There are times we sense, how words are sparks of light.
From life and lifetimes lived
Of learnings from being you
That is actually meant to light hearts
Near and far…
We simply need to trust, for words know and find their way.
Keep sparking & sharing your light ✨️ 🙏

This morning I started my day with a beautiful book gifted by my daughter to me called… ‘Light from many Lamps.
I was inspired just sensing the light of life in each chapter…
So yes, ‘Books are life’ and I have, had and hope I continue to have all the energy to read some more…
What is your recent read?

This life I am in,
Is beyond emotions & intellect.
Way beyond feelings & senses.
Beyond the pain & peace of the moment.
Beyond the pressures of life & living.
Hence I am not my peace.
And I am not my pain.
I am not the height of happiness.
I am not the depth of sorrows.
In the infinite resonance
In the dance of conscious awareness
A living spark of the cosmos.
Savvy
Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.
Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.
Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond speech, I am the breath that experiences life.
Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be. 🙏
Join in with me for a moment of alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole. 🙏
Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’
Savvy
The sky lights up
This morning
In ethereal light…
And in moments
It feels like twilight,
Where light seems engulfed
But it is already dawn.
Perhaps the sun is hidden
For a fleeting while,
Waiting for clouds to pass
Only to shine again.
In this moment
Of in-betweens,
Before light shines
Its brilliance again,
Let me take a moment
To feel the senses
Telling me to ease in to this now.
Breathe the cool wind
And pause to witness
The unfolding play
Of light of day.
The sun is patient
And humble,
Awaiting its turn…
Let me stay patient
And hopeful
In this play of light.
Light is meant to shine.
Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…
Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.
Savvy
In this now I inhale peace
In this now I exhale love
In this now I sense calm
In this now I share a smile.
In this now what I can do
Matters than, then & later
For it sets the course ahead
Aligning past with present.
In this now lives potential
In this now, is the power of choice
In every now that is…
Choose well.
Savvy
Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”
Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.
Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.
Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.
For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.
Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.
Savvy Raj
Often it is in the adversity,
you meet your true strengths.
In the tests of life,
you find your true self.
That which you discover
in these challenges,
arrives in the journey
to steer you on your path.
So hold on, in trust & faith.
For no matter what,
all in not lost.
You will find it in you,
to begin anew.
In experiences of adversity,
you meet yourself.
And that’s the gamechanger.
A question to my reader…
If you were to think of the past challenges,what comes to mind as a strength you uncovered about your self that you wouldn’t have found any other way ?
Savvy Raj
Resilience is developed in time.
In every fall.
In every blow
In every painful experience.
The power rests with you to work on yourself.
Resilience is about nurturing what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling the situation at hand.
Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary moments that you have with you.
Resilience is being able to smile from the heart, knowing your circumstances dont define you.
In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge from it stronger.
While resilience is in learning from experiences and strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…
Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking like the mighty oak tree,
Resilience is creating yourself in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.
Resilience means, you are very much present and it means you are evolving from your experiences for the better.
In times of being resilience
You become the master of your life.
You steer on in faith
no matter the rudder is way off.
Knowing you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.
Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives
You are like an artist creating something from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience results are awaiting you in trust & time.
Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.
What is resilience to you?
When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?
Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.
