Every time you connect
With nature in any form
You realize…
You are part of something bigger
That there is so much more
Of spaces between the steps
You acknowledge…
The light of life and living
The strength of the interconnects.
You become aware
In feeling & sensing the mystical in you…
And the potential of you in the universe
How much you matter…
You are part of something bigger!

Do you sense love for yourself
Do you feel respect for yourself
Do you feel your sense of self esteem
Do you feel a sense of self worth
What is your self worth tied to?
Is it your education
Your fancy degrees
Your knowledge
Your partner?
Or your beauty?
Your abilities?
Is it to your achievements?
Your skills?
Your bank balance?
Or is it to your designation
Your children
Your home?
Your cars?
Your phone?
If you have answered yes honestly to any of the above please think again
Work on your independence
Free your mind free your heart
Free yourself from chains
Practice unshackling
Try to detach your self worth
From material things.
Others cannot always be around
We are born as unique beings
We are complete in every way
No one can latch on to us
Nor should we latch on to another
Self awareness is crucial
For true self confidence
Self Confidence creates self esteem
Self esteem develops self worth
Value the life you have
Understand your truth
Explore your potential
You are worthy.

This week for me seems to be a traveling one, for work and pleasure and I am right now in a country where it is both common and fashionable to wear a lot of black. Can you guess which one?
And while you are at it, sharing this particular poem about black and white photography and I think I am co- relating to it literally here. Read on…
On black and white photography.
What is it about the black and the white
That evokes much emotion
In all its simplicity and elegance?
Monochrome has a surreal magic
That captures your attention
Strangely beguiling almost misleading
For it blurs the truths that appear
In the vividity of colour.
Yet it provides a stark definition
Devoid of any colour, yet not lifeless
It emotes through simplicity
Through the play of light and dark
Creating sensibilities and sustaining drama.
Both evocative and enigmatic in its elements
Inspite of the hidden hues.
Retaining charecter.
Reminiscent of old world charm
Of a translucent transparency.
A simplification of the complexity.
A composure of composition.
A completeness of capture.

Let it flow…
In between the dance of forces
Is self adjusted neutrality
A flow in harmony.
In allowing to let go completely
Soon tension eases in the flow
In perseverance & patience.
In response than reaction
Creating positive transmutation.
In thoughts words and deeds
Till harmony becomes you.

Picasso
Watch this video of modern art as it happens!
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/gggdif1S11HPfDy3/?mibextid=TrneLp
Pablo Picasso was born in Spain. And lived in France for most of his adult life. He is a prolific artist with varied interests, his early naturalistic painting gave way to his famous modern art in his adult years. He is known for his ‘Artistic Versatility’ and also for painting from imagination. He is renowned for his unconventional & radical life & art and is influential for his development of Cubist style.
A few musings…
On Art & Acceptance
If Picasso was born in the east
Perhaps he would have had it tougher to touch the height of success.
For he was best born in the west
And live in the heart of liberalism
Where his technique was acknowledged and given wings.
He passionately painted his spirits strokes in freedom.
The eastern world has always been more traditional
Conservative & restrained
in art and life
Somewhere it took a long time
Catching up with the possibilities of creativity
Where chaos becomes art.
In chaos there is disorder
But in disorder is the arising of new creative possibilities
Envisioning in the unconventional a restructuring in the flow
Every stroke of the brush or ink on paper
Is indicative of thoughts and emotions in the brain behind the brush.
Of the development of hand eye brain integration
That creates art out of simply anything and everything.
And then, there is the viewer critic and the art dealer who see hope & possibilities in both the artist & his art.
Art is born in the mind of the artist
Art channels itself in the flow
Art is honed in the perspectives of critique
But art is realised and enjoyed in the acceptance of a patron
For then the art finds itself.
And the artist evolves.

In the bowing is a prayer answered
In the kneeling to the cosmic connects
Acknowledge the grace that’s revered
And the blessings that protects
Sense the touch of the angels around
Feel the flow of divinity in the haloed healing light abound…
Embrace the moments in silence and serenity.

Artwork Titled- ‘Blessings’ Painting by Savvy Raj
My painting ‘Blessings’, came to me almost as a flow… It spoke much to me as I brushed in serenity-of-silence with the colours it was as if it was meant to manifest itself and all along I sensed I was simply a channel.

Shine your light
The light of you
That comes through you
Your truth in your voice
Your speech in your words
Your work, your authenticity
Your moves, your way
Step into your light
Step into your place
Fill it with all of you
For none can fill this space
There is no other quite like you
For you are unique
In your own way
Shine on.
What do you think you deserve?
The answer paves the way
To bring it to your life
As you intend
You believe
As you believe
You intend
You manifest your intentions
The universe gives you,
As you think and intend,
Your thoughts matter
Believe well.
Think well intend well
For it matters more than you know.

A throwback in time…
A memory rushed in through the photograph I chanced upon.
A decade or more back, I remember how I passionately volunteered to train seniors to dance at the local church in Mumbai. This photograph is a reminder of them praying together on my birthday.
And we celebrated with a cake…
I knew not them beyond the Dance class.
They knew not me beyond the dance
But this motley crew of seniors
Made me feel very special
On my birthday and on every Monday too.
The day of their dance class.
Meet we would at 6 pm sharp
Without fail come what may…
These warm and courteous seniors were always on time….
These simple unassuming souls
Somehow etched their place in my heart.
Will cherish the memories forever
I thank them for trusting me & having me around.
And more importantly for the kind prayers & blessings.
Grateful ❤️

Happy New Year! ✨😊✨
Sharinge my earlier post again for this new year as it is a deeply meaningful excercise in Gratitude and Positivity to me.
The Gift of Life …
“When I was a little girl I often have witnessed my dear father see and give great value and acknowledge every little good that is or happens , however small they may seem to others. It could be a with a gentle word, a tiny appreciation or a little compliment. He taught me one of most important lesson for a lifetime… to notice, respect and reflect on the good in and around us… and to live positively and think of life always as Plus++++es .
Life is beautiful as it is and it is in us to see it so …”

Each of us have experiences that associate with any word.
What thoughts come to you in associations with the word Water.
Water brings forth many associations immediately but most of all of grace and strength.
In thoughts of fluidity in the flow…
In the ease of adaptability & lightness of being
As well as the strength of its perseverance in its path…
I associate with the rhthymic expression of waves.
Gratitude for Grace of this blessing of water to drink
And of the freedom of movement,while revelling in the water.
What thoughts and associations come immediately to you for the word ‘Water’?

The busier a person seems
The less the person works
The more they delegate
For they value of time
And getting things done on time.
They believe in themselves
And take themselves lightly.
How often have you wondered
How some people manage it all
People rushing between deadlines
People having meetings with them
Continously consistently
And yet they appear unruffled
With a great sense of humor
A smile playing on their faces
And steel in their nerves
It is all about their organisation
Of things that matter on priority
And the ability to delegate
That makes things happen.
One person cannot accomplish
As much as a team of people
Dedicated to a purpose
Built by a determined leader.
Who believes, ‘I can’
For then the quantity of work
Gets improved by the quality…
What are your thoughts? Do share.
There are always special moments in every one’s life
Making life meaningful and memorable
Often it’s pure serendipity…
When your memory jogs you to remember such a moment.
What makes the memory strong?
What you are associating it with,
That is what makes the memory stronger.
Next time pay attention to whatever you want to remember.
What emotions and feelings can you associate with it?
As your visualisation gets stronger
Your memory gets better and will fade lesser in time.
Now remember to visualise with vibrance.
Choose as you please,
Scents & fragrances of places
Nature & friendships
Colours of Emotions
In all its vividity &feelings.
Soon you will build on all the happy times.
Keep adding your treasure chest of memorable moments.
Someday you will be thankful for it.
