Dinner under a lemon tree Capri
I saw this picture and paused…
For it spoke of abundance of being.
Of Sight, sense and smell.
Emoting in the sensing
Evoking in freshness of fragrance
Nature is abundance personified
Rewards aplenty, with fruits to share
The little joys of dining together
Socializing seem like a dream
With the world in its now from here.
Yet the picture paints cheer & hope.
Of giving and living generously.
Happiness is in the sensing
Have a wonderful weekend š
Savvy
Any good deed in time
Leaves a heartprint forever
Planting is a thoughtful deed
Reaping a harvest of abundance
A seed to a bud, to beautiful blooms
Shade from the leaves & fruits to eat.
Every tree is a blessing of goodwill.
Time knows it all
And time shows it all at the right time.
Gratitude for the grace of goodwill.š

There is always a path meant for u
Explore the myriad colors of life
In all shades and hue…
What you choose to see
Is how it appears to be
Acknowledge the gifts of life
As they come to you in time.
For Colors make life come alive.

Came across this forward today….paints a very relevant picture of times we live in … do read.
Someone has nicely explained the irony in the present situation:
ā Never have I seen
such a mess in life.
The air is pure but
wearing a mask is
mandatory.
Roads are empty
but it is impossible
to go on long drive.
People have clean
hands but there is a
ban on shaking hands.
Friends have time to
sit together but they
cannot get together.
The cook inside you
is crazy, but you cannot
call anyone for lunch or
dinner.
Every Monday,
the heart longs to go out, but the weekend does not seem to end.
Those who have money
have no way to spend it.
Those who don’t have
money have no way to
earn it.
The culprit is all around
but cannot be seen.
A world full of irony!
Be positive but test negative.ā

Strength in the grounding
Here is a truly powerful image
Speaking volumes without a word.
Depicting the power of nature
Breaking through a rock…
Life cannot be undermined
It finds a way to flourish
Nature has a way of nurturing itself
To survive against all odds.
The strength of the spirit
The intention of the soul
Courses through its veins
Until it finds a path to grow
Rooting itself steadfastly
Its grounding is its strength
Nourishing the life
To stay centered .
And grow it does and how…
Spring through summer
Come rain or shine
No autumn can last too long …
As that seemingly leafless tree
Springs forth a hopeful bloom
Sharing the fruits of life and living.
As the seasons change….
Breakthrough are a way of being
Course correcting itself no matter
Finding its bearing in full bloom
Nature is meant to thrive!

Happiness is a state of being
The simple act of acknowledgement
Even in our little wins…
With a heart felt smile , a self hug,
All can create a positive impact
On our state of being.
Remember to celebrate yourself
You can change the way you feel
Make yourself available to you
Your life is a precious gift
Acknowledge, & Celebrate yourself.

We all want to be in the safe zone for ourselves and others.
Let us be mindful in this now and practice sanitation protocols to the best of our abilities from wherever we are.
But we also need to be empathically aware of the many who are doing their best to save lives.
Salute to all the selfless souls.
God be the protective shield of all the frontliners of the health, sanitation, essential services and many invisible heroes who are doing their best in spite of all odds. šš»šš»šš»šš»

For u may come and go
Through many lifecycles
To sense the truth of the being
Every life has a reason to be
Unshackle the bounds of being.
And bond beyond the bounding.
Evolve to Dissolve, Disolve to evolve
Such is the dance of the spirit & soul
To become nothing and be everything….
Let go, let flow
Be present in the journey
Of many lifetimes
Until your delve into the purpose
Of life and living
So let go let flow …
To just be…

The world we see today
Is changing rapidly
New norms are setting in
We are in a state of flux
From fighting pandemic
To accepting lockdowns
As a way of being
People starved of socialization
Are appeased by bytes of reality
We are attuning ourselves
To being masked at all times
Practicing distancing and being indoors.
But life goes on no matter what
Sensitizing us to new ways of living
What matters most then is
Is that here we are, inspite of it all
We learn to align with ourselves
Moving with care and compassion
From here on empathy guides
Leading us to knowing ourselves.
This is the truth for us all
Of tommorow’s world.

To every question that arises
To every puzzle that confronts you.
Know you are entrusted with answers…
Deeply embedded with in you.
Simply trust in the knowing
It will deliver you the way.
The pathways will reveal itself
All in the right time and place.
All you need is trust in yourself …
And the courage to follow through.
But remember you have all the answers.

This lovely picture above by award winning photographer, Steve McCurry, of National Geographic fame, tells a story. Steve was passing through the Rajasthan, India desert by taxi, when he was caught in a furious dust storm. This is when he spotted a group of women in a huddle trying to brave its fury. The only way they could protect themselves was by taking support of one another. It had not rained in the region for 13 years and a dust storm like this forebode coming rains. While life hung precariously in this devastating storm, together they not only could fight it, but even sang happily on the prospect of possible rains. What better metaphor to show that women have the inherent strength and resilience to literally brave any storm and also at the same time rejoice on the positive side of even the most hostile situation. Together we stand. .. !!!
I came across this striking picture and story on Social Media and I just felt like sharing this today.
So much wisdom in these two lines.
Speaking and listening is an elegant dance of words
As you hear more you are learning
And as you speak you are expressing
The power of what mere words can do
At the right time said in the right tone
To the right audience in all its simplicity of delivery
As much as in the profoundness of understanding
Taking time to understand
What matters before you speak
Taking time to know whom to say what
All is a dance, in the wisdom in the being

Do you need something to happen
To be happy?
Does someone have to make you smile?
Do you need something to be done by another to feel joyous
Do you want others to impress upon you for you to be cheerful?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions …
Do you care to motivate another to be happy?
How many times have you smiled for another?
Motivation to be happy works best when its intrinsic.
Yes you have this life you are living
Make sure to make your moments happy š
Yes everyday is different
Life is not perhaps easy for any of us.
Sometimes the night is long
And light shines a little later than you may want it to
But know there is always a day after the night…
And light is meant to shine on your path once again.
Be happy with yourself first!
For your happiness is all around you!
Trust yourself and your life to live!
And live life lovingly!

On the brink…
The world is going through a severe crisis
Anyone could be the next victim of the virus
It knows not man made differences
Of caste color creed race or religion.
The edge of reason
This is a time of uncertainty
Relationships old and new are on trial being tested in every way.
The need of the hour is to exercise caution, care, and spread hope and positivity
Yet there is still hatred, excess self indulgences all across the world.
There is still emotional mental and physical abuse in relationshipsā¦
Caught in the knot…
Caught in the knot is often the feeling for many
Where there is no trustful bond but just a feeling of being bound.
But yet tomorrow is another day…
Boundless bond…
May the love we have surmount the hate
May the good prevail over evil
May the light shine over the darkness of the mind
May we stay healthy and happy in our every now.
May we understand the power of words and spread them with care.
Soulful sensing…
What we have today we must cherish…
For a tomorrow that we build with love
For when we begin to see with our souls…
Our perceptions can alter, re-creating bonds beyond feeling bound.

A grateful life is full of grace.
What is Grace to you ?
Do you want to live with grace
Life is full of grace
But we need to be ready to have it
In own ways and attitude
We need to attract grace
To stay with us and not leave
All through our lives
With all of our hearts…
For that would be bliss of a bless.
Savvy
