Whenever
In art there is a flow
Of feeling
Of movement
Of emotions
Of energy
Displaying the skill of the artist
There is…
A sense of completeness
Inspite of rawness
A sense of wholeness
Inspite of the roughness
Opening up sensations
In the heart of the viewer
Delivering the meaning
Of the spirit of the soul.
As then the message conveys
The very purpose of the art.
When art speaks to the heart
Art moves the soul.

Would you spare a thought
For the way your appear
Yes indeed
People spend millions
For the way they look
Beauty is big business
Image consultancy is huge now.
But would you spare a thought
On the way you make another feel
Your words
Be it in written or spoken
Have immense power
To hurt or heal
For words leave lasting impressions.
Tune in to the way you sound
Check your pitch and tone
As you speak to another
Reread the words you write
Remember words live on in eternity
Think twice and check
If what you write can make a difference
To someone somewhere
Spare a thought
As you take a step
Every step leaves a trail
That another may follow
Choose to step well.
Thoughts to action
Words to deeds
Each play a role
For all are significant
In life and living.

A bird, a tree & a mountain
Far above at the top of the tree
The birds perch themselves on the branches
Ready to fly on moments notice
They are light and free
Deep in the ground the roots of a tree
Growing in the thick of things
Amidst the densely packed earth
Digging deeper in stability.
On higher ground the mountain rests Gradually building upon itself.
Or chipping away itself to erosion
Witnessing it all as the world whizzes through…
As the birds fly away
In search of food or when predators strike
And the trees bears fruits
As roots grow strong.
Life and living have a reason to be.
Witness the wisdom playing through
Every whiff of the wind, every bit of stillness
Every sway every bend every move
Every thing that is was and will be
For all is a dance of infinite wonder.
Who are you like
The bird
The roots of a tree
Or a mountain
What do you resonate with?
Savvy
Love is an all encompassing
Connects of the heart to the soul.
For when the heart speaks.
All of life understands.
Words become insignificant.
As hearts connect in the knowing.
For in the power of love.
All is one & one is all!
Harmony flows
In the very being
United in understanding.
Of love as a gift of grace!

L.O.V.E
Are you where your feet are?
Can your heart and mind meet as one?
Can your thoughts & deeds mean the same ?
Are your words from the heart?
Are you comfortable in your own skin?
Do you feel one with yourself?
Are you grounded enough?
Are you where your feet are?
Are you truly in this now?

Once upon a time
Long long ago
In a far away land
Was a sweet little child
Who used to have a fairy tale book
Read to her by her dear mother
Every night as she was tucked into bed
She would hear a story from her mom
But there were clauses to this plan.
It was a given thing between the two
The story had to have a happy ending
The story includes people and animals
Or even a garden of fruits and flowers
Enchanting stories of courage and dare
Of compassion and care
Of humanity at large
In goodwill and love
Or even seemingly silly stories
Of life and living in general
Of fun and frolic.
But there was a pact between the two
Which her mother followed to the tee.
Simply there was one area
The story must not go to or be
Of things above in the sky.
Although her mother was too drawn
To explore the mystery of space…
But the little girl felt a little too lost
To fathom space and beyond
May be it was just her nature
Or perhaps there was more to it
Of why she was uncomfortable with unknown space!
Leaving a few musings in contemplation…
Are fears rational or just an illusion in the making?
What are irrational fears?
Are they there for a reason?
Do fears manifests from past lives?
Do fears eventually help us someway?
How does one overcome these fears?
Can we grow out of our little fears?
Do you have any experience of fears as a kid?
Have you chosen to outgrow them?
Have you managed to face your fears?
For life awaits on the other side of fear!

A painting by Savvy Raj
For every you, there is another you caught in the crosswinds
In fact, there could be many more reflections of you…life will throw you the hints
Fanning the flames only arouses the spirit
To arise and evolve more than we give merit
To deeper levels of conscious awareness
Breathe in the wisdom of knowing in all fairness
Of the freeflow of movements as it unfolds
The crosswinds breathe fire of life into souls
To breathe in the the energy of consciousness sublime
Trust the trysts of destiny in the eternality of time
To have a reason all their own
Cause it is preordained like seeds of life already sown.

Across the star spangled space ….
Where eternal time seems to standstill
Is the dance of cosmic lights
In a celebration of universal consciousness.
Hear the sounds of music
Humming through the cosmic strings
Witness the patterns shaping
In the spacing of the stars at night.
Sense the rhythm of rhapsody
In the sounds between the silent spaces
In the sacred patterns of creation
See the evolving circles of life…

Behind the Beautiful
Are often inexplicable truths
Behind the dare
Are often unbearable circumstances
Behind the victory
Are often countless defeats
Behind the smiles
Are often gutwrenching griefs
Behind the wisdom of silence
Are often heartbreaking stories.
Behind the scenes of glory
Are often those unspeakable truths
Of lives lived and living
In hope beyond the despair
Of wins beyond the losses.
Of success beyond the failures
Like each facet is necessary
For the diamond to truly sparkle!
Each phase is full of purpose
For everything matters to the whole.

Have been growing vegetables in my terrace garden
Every potted plant has a story to tell
A lesson to share in the growing…
Take this tomato plant for instance
So much growth but not many fruits
Perhaps they were densely planted
And hence contained in their pot
A few tomatoes have showed up
Others have yet to see the light of the day
Amongst these few, the tiniest tomato
Is very visible to the eye, having ripened the earliest.
The rest are as yet awaiting
Patiently for their evolution
Like they say
Wisdom hath no age!
Perhaps this tiny one at best
Received the rays of sunshine
Nourished in the nurture.
Matured well before it’s time.

In the pulse of life
In the heartbeat of love
In the bareness of our soul
In the strength of our being
In the silence of prayer
In the vividity of the now
Betwixt and between
Everything and nothingness
Above and Around
Spaces here and beyond
Enveloping Time and timelessness
In the sound of soundlessness
In the question and the answer
In the truth of life and living
In the hope of the being
In you and in me!
God is!

When the heart is glad, the feet are ready to dance, when the feet dance, the heart is glad!
Dancing is the joy in being awake to the miracle of being alive.
And dancing hearts know it best!

Nature is so full of play
Creation speaks much for itself
In myriad patterns of formations
In countless whorls of leaves
An abundance of arresting artistry
Interspersed with wisdom of the creator
To discover in the learning
To understand and appreciate
Undeniable is the creators joy
In the manifestations of colours
Juxtaposed with unbelievable designs
All in such effortless grace
And what to speak of fragility
Of the tender blossoms of life
That emote so much inspirations
All endowed with the creators grace.
Spirals of enigmatic flow
Of magnanimous expressions
As much as the subtlety in self similarity
Leaving imprints of sublime divine.
Fractal patterns of nature
Infinite abundance, infinite energies
Infinite potential, infinite possibilities
Nature speaks the art of creation.

Like rivers are meant to flow
For it to meet the sea
Nourishing the earth along the way
Gushing forth with the water of life.
Let us flow through life
Exploring and experiencing
Meandering through many facets of living
Nurturing it with heartfelt love.
For life is like the river
We are meant to flow
And not stagnate and perish
In doubts and insecurities.
Like a river trusts itself in the flow
Merging into oneness eventually
Moving forth constantly in time and space.
Flow in faith like a river flows!

You Can!
If you only could see the myriad patterns and colors of life you will live to create
If you could believe in the vividity of the moment
If you could only sense the magic that life is meant to be
You will…
Paint your life with joy in the flow!
Unwrap this gift of life lovingly!
Just believe you can.
You can!
