Razor’s Edge 

On the razors edge , there is poignant elegance.

Beautiful poise, precariously in balance.

Amidst the fury of the fire raging beneath.

She stand resolute in her calmth.

Not helpless but in knowing nature’s ways.

That in time, all is well back to base.

Beauty on the outside burns off into the ember,

Leaving an ashen pile of dust to remember.

Yet deluding the fury in being uprooted,

In the strength of the grounding firmly rooted,

Leaving an evergreen picture of poise,

She has that stoic stance of grace.

A pose of composure on destiny’s face.

In spite of a life abruptly denied,

She is the beauty of grace personified !

Savvy Raj

My above verses are my  humble dedication to all those life’s living and lived in inspiring ways inspite of calamity despair pain and loss. Inspite of unsurrmountable odds stacked against them,  those without hope who project unending verve and ebullience to live life in every moment.


  A heartfelt offering of respect and salute  to  the undying spirits of those who even in the knowing the evening is near still retain and  emanate the light of dawn in their hearts.

Wisdom in the Challenges :5


Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …

The challenge draws a blank line.
The wisdom draws a full circle.


The challenge questions the issue at hand. 
The wisdom answers the question.

Art of Creativity: The Journey

The Mystic of this mistress is magnetic

Almost hovering on the hypnotic

And yet…

In the unforgiving toughness

Is the challenge to continue

In her demands to deliver

Is the discipline of approach

In the chiding of the critiques

Is the attempt to evolve

Beyond the punishing schedules.

 

And in that trusting knowing

Actors act, sculptors sculpt

Writers write, painters paint

Singers sing, dancers dance

Finding purpose in the passion

In the artistry of creativity.

And as art empowers in the connectivity

Life carries on…!

Wisdom in the Challenges:1 

Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …

The challenge is to float when you feel you will drown.
The wisdom is to sense a challenge coming.


The challenge is to tide through the tough times. 
And wisdom is knowing this too shall pass on.

Be your own best friend!

 

Trust the self implicitly. 

Treat the self with dignity
Create your life by owning up to the person you are.
Value yourself enough to be yourself.

Care to be your own best friend!

As you heartfully accept and trust yourself,

The intuitive you already knows your path.

You will be guided to where you ought to be, 

And you will awaken to what you ought to do.

So, treat yourself lovingly.

Be an ally, not an enemy to yourself.

Care to be good to yourself

Because in sifting through this journey of life, 

It truly helps to have a friend in you. 

There is more to loving the self than what meets the eye. The heartfelt self-centering in every step of the way of evolving, from within to the without, is a deeper understanding that the world needs kindness even more. And it needs to move from core consciousness outward and circulate in the flow. 

As you feel comfortable in connecting with who you are, as you are, you feel comfortable connecting with the people around you.

Treat the self lovingly, the best you can, no matter the circumstances, and you will emanate the love that you sense from within all around you and into the world at large.

Life becomes easier and lighter to handle as you strengthen your inner spirit and move away from self-sabotaging behaviours.

Believe in yourself to be all that you can be; you owe it to the life in you. As you start loving yourself, you start to believe in yourself, and as you start to believe yourself, you begin to value your life, and as you begin to value your life, you begin to define the purpose of your being. 

A few tips to being your own best friend: 

Believe that you matter, and never ever take yourself for granted.

Trust your inner spirit; remember you are unique; and trust all is well. 

Keep choosing positive and pleasant thoughts, and care to step out of your own way.

Behave responsibly, and choose to live your life lovingly.

Respect and take care of your body, mind and spirit.

Love yourself as you are, but care to evolve for the better.

Music matters.

My friend Max the music lover  recently raised many pertinent questions on music on his interesting post most importantly whether music is still music.

 ‘Is music still about music?’ http://wp.me/p7NaIB-4I  

Changing times reflect the changing music. The heart knows what it wants and guess we tune in to certain frequencies that resonate with our being.  But we also need to take into account our physiology and emotions playing a major role in our choice of what appeals, having said that I see music of today catering to quite a cross section of choices and customizing to varied segments in the genres .  Speaking of which  there are so many new genres today.  Mainstream music too is divided and the success and hits are truly about reaching out and making an impact through  clever marketing  gimmicks of social media, mega bucks and  the smart exposure through social branding and image building. Yes the world of music is getting more and more complicated indeed.

 Song and Sense vs Noise and Nonsense

 Are times gone  when songs were composed and enjoyed as an art purely for the sake of evoking and revelling in a certain feeling.   Such musicians now are a rarity  and maybe far and few, subdued and marginalized as a minority. Perhaps many are clueless how to survive by adapting to fast changing times and tastes.  It is truly getting more and more about fame and fortune and about selling gigs and minting money on the go. Majority of it is so much about daring innuendos in lyrics that leave nothing to imagination often senseless without any inspiring or impactful message.  It is often all noise and nonsensical words without anyone getting a hang of what it truly attempts to convey.  Perhaps this world is too busy running a rat race and has no time to appreciate the profound. Who knows,may be an app or two are already out there to help in doing so.

Role of Money vs the musician and his music.

Music is a creative endeavour that is born from a labour of love for the art and appreciation of the notes the beats the rhythm, tbe lyrics the melody etc   all coming together in the synchrony.  So every musician feels justified about his creativity as it is truly unique.  Yet countless singers songwriters composers  of all times often  may have experiences of choosing between creating songs for the audience and songs from their heart as for oft it is a compromise to create or perform to cater to the masses. So it is truly a wonderful  treat when the two come together in harmony.

In defense of the music and the musicians  

Music can be elusive yet effusive 

Explosive and yet an epitome of blissfulness.

You may choose to dance and flow it with it  

And know how  blessed are those

Who can create music to tune into

Yet you may not own it 

You simply owe it your joy!!

Ever green Music : Bonding boundlessly

 Speaking for an evolving world ….Sure these are changing times we are hearing more and more experimental sounds and the new generation is ready to break new grounds and shift perspectives. But the truth of the matter is some songs stay evergreen no matter the era or genre and all ages tune in to listen  and enjoy it and bond in the name of music. Now thats what I call music . 

Music is eternal and has no timeframe as we tune in we care to  listen and enjoy the sounds in the space between the notes. 
If you think likewise as well would you care to share one of your all time favourite songs that fill up your senses and makes for a great listening experience…

 I have a huge list and here are a few that come to mind now…
Unforgetable by  Nat king Cole 

What a wonderful world! Louis Armstrong

Stand by me  Ben King 

Sounds of Silence Simon & Garfunkel

Blowing in the wind  Bob Dylan

The light of your being

Light within your being

Is often enveloped in darkness

Acknowlege this divine guide within

Recognise its strength of purpose

And allow it to surface in time.

Like night gives into day

Darkness gives way to light

Trust the light of your being

Let it lead your way!

Savvy
Was watching this lamp in my above photograph,  hanging in the room, emitting a gentle glow all around and sensed how similar we are to this lamp…. we often switch off ourselves from sensing our own inner light of being and assume momentary chaos and confusion of darkness to be a permanent situation.  A lit lamp is truly a beautiful reminder to our self to sense the light of our own being.
