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?

Perfect imperfections

Perfection is never the inspiration for nothing is perfect always.

Acknowledging ones imperfections & managing it with grace is true inspiration.

The need for perfection creates undue pressure. Being able to work on the journey without undue pressure can be joyful journey.

What are your thoughts?

Circles of Compassion

21815k

A Painting by Savvy Raj

Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com

Compassion is a  gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually embedded in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength. Therein lies the success of steering towards peace & humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.

  Every compassionate thought that is then spread outwards, will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.

We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share,  there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.

Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !

Shine on …

Awaken

You awaken

When you are ready to release

That which holds you back.

In acknowledging

Is the allowing 

Of new possibilities

And sense the light within.

Every once in a while

It’s good to unshackle

Simply ask your self

What am I holding back?

To emote is to heal

Sit down with your feelings

Like a good friend

Listen to it to understand

What it conveys to you

It works out for you.

Your emotions are not your enemy

They are your vent

They are your support systems

For the body to feel at ease

Be a good friend to you

And your emotions will thank you

As you thank them.

Let the seasons be…

If a day could be wrapped in a minute

If a year could be tucked in a season

Life would happen too fast

With no time to simply be

Life would be one rushed affair

Wish nothing in a hurry

Let the days be, to dare

Let the nights be to rest anew

Let the flowers bloom in hope

And let the leaves rustle in the wind

Let the seasons come by

All in good time

For you and for me.

Thrive in Gratitude

Life hands many a tough lessons in our journeys. But to strive to be strong and tread through it all, not just by surviving the ordeals but thriving takes inner strength in conviction. It helps to focus on your sense of purpose if you have deciphered it by now, else take each moment as momentary.  Know the pain you feel in this now will be gone in the next. This attitude takes you on a spiritual path of letting go. It makes a profound impact in life  as you continue to practise regularly. Regardless of outcomes you are  thriving…in Gratitude for the lessons from life in the living.🙏

Spirit of Sports

Winning at the Paralympics is no mean feat.  I wonder why it gets second hand treatment and less attention in media compared to Olympics. Came across this news  about a gold in mens badminton, it’s a proud moment for India no doubt.

And am in appreciation for the perseverance of these spirited warriors  of sportsmanship.  A testement to what the body achieves  when the mind believes.  May the spirit of sports shine through

Hope there is more support for every sport and sportsmen and here’s to celebrating them and  their unwavering dedication to touch the pinnacle of success no matter the odds.

With much hope on the anvil this year India has sent its largest contingent to compared to Tokyo 2020  where India found much success

And today I read…

India Shatters Its All-Time Paralympics Record, Medal Tally Swells To 20 https://sports.ndtv.com/paralympic-games-2024/india-shatters-its-all-time-paralympics-record-medal-tally-swells-to-20-6484764

Isn’t it high time to celebrate sports without discrimination across the world. What say?

Love Love

Let love live

Not just in your smile

In your heart

In your eyes

In your bones

Allow it to reside

In every cell of your being

Make it your life long friend

And see the magic unfold

Travel On…

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.

Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he  has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.

While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.

Thought of sharing my verses  again.

Travel On

If you are given an opportunity to take a journey

Take it, for you meet many versions of you.

Along the road.

Some you cherish, some cherish you.

Some that change you and some that you change.

Fear not the travel or the traveling…

For one thing is certain

You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.

Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,

Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

Thank the good

In the depths of darkness

Keep the faith on a new dawn

In the numerous wrongs

See the rights

Thank the good

Be grateful for it

Make it a practice of a life time

Know you’re in a better space.

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…

The Zen Way

Calm eyes and ears
Resting and recovering
From relentless chaos
Blowing in the wind.


Seeing only a trickle
Of light and sounds
Of nature in harmony
To energize in hope
Once more.

Life is meant to flow

Life is changing
Every minute
Life is never the same
Its ok to wait and lie a little low

You need to trust nature
To move and shift things
What was lost is gained again
What was your deepest pain
Becomes a point of pleasure.

Change is the only constant
My friend
Move beyond these limitations
Of this now
There is so much more to envision
So much more to accomplish.

Life is meant to flow!

Way of Love

It’s the way of love, to accept and allow
It’s the way of love, to empower with hope
It’s the way of love, to sense the light of life.
It’s the way of love, to share from the heart.

For love is the gift of life.
And it’s the way of love, to be filled with gratitude.
