Life challenges us all in every moment
Yet love is the way to surmount the odds
For life to truly thrive in wellbeing
Making this world a better place.

The Journey of Imagination
Imagination begins with thoughts
There is great power in imagination
Imagination can heal or hurt
Stemming from infinite abundance.
Imagination draws from nature & nurture.
In thinking out of the box
Raw & unstructured or uncontrollable
Resulting in unexpected creativity
Exploring potential possibilities.
Thoughts in a flow, forming patterns
Shapes moulding within a structure
Meandering like a river
Or bursting like a volcano
Uncontrollable & quite unexpectedly
Often chaotic and welling up the feelings.
Imagination seeks to find its own path
Much of imagination is forgotten soon
Or gets lost in translation.
When imagination is reinforced
In strength of inate potential of being
There is hope for inspirational creativity
When imagination is reigned
In fear and ridicule
There is chance of darkness of morbidity
Creating doubts and uncertainties.
Your Imagination is who you are
Imagination manifests through you
Yet in steering imagination
Creativity is born.
The source of thoughts arise from within
You have the choice to steer the course
In mindfulness the path of imagination
Can be witnessed and channeled.
The journey of imagination
Take you places you have never been.
Betwixt & beyond the illusions & reality
Through dimensions of time & space
To the quantum truths of your being
In expressing, exchanging imagination..
Innovations are possible.
The magic is all in the imagination
What matters is where you want to go!

A Sufi Tale
A Sufi Tale:
A merchant from Baghdad entered a Sufi’s shop, which had essence jars on the shelves.
Marveling at the beauty of the place, he asked, “Sir, what is sold here?”
The Sufi replied, “The gifts of God”.
The merchant was surprised with the answer, & asked, “And how much do they cost?”
“Nothing, here all is for free”, said the Sufi, observing carefully, that the traveller could see the labels: “Jugs of Love”; “Jars of Faith”; “Packages of Hope”.
The merchant said, “A big jug of love, all the packages of hope & three jars of faith for me, my friends & my family”.
The Sufi carefully prepared the order & handed him a small box.
Surprised, the merchant exclaimed, “But, but…. how can everything I have asked for, be in this tiny box?”
Smiling, the Sufi replied, “In God’s store, we do not sell fruits, only seeds. You have to sow them.

Pathway to Sanity
Life can challenge us in the living
Each moment can throw us into a maze
That we need to go figure for ourselves
Personally speaking…
I turn to self reflection and solitude walking in contemplative introspection, when I need to rebalance and align myself , as in doing so I am able to understand and reconsider how difficult it has been, given the circumstances and I comfort myself by acknowledging that I have done my best.
I am grateful for this ability to write and paint my heart away, and express myself through arts, just as much as being kinder and compassionate with myself. For in every such moment, I am learning to be a better me.
I also find great solace in meditative movements and soulful dancing that help me bounce back to normalcy.
In difficult times what keeps you sane?

Dance of Nature
There is dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
Of nature’s creation.
There is the grace of uniqueness
Of wisdom beyond compare
All knowing, all pervading
To this Omnipresence …
I bow in Gratitude to this Grace.🙏

Soulspace
Have you found your soulspace?
Seek and you will find in you…
A space of calmness
Enveloping you with peace
Of knowing, all is well.
Where you are aligned to your being
Without worrying unnecessarily
You will realize for yourself
A space to rejuvenate your senses
A space in equilibrium & equanimity
That makes you free to be!

The Gifts
In giving is a grace of hopefulness
In receiving is a respect in Gratitude.
In giving is a trust in abundance
In receiving is an acknowledgement.
Every giving and every receiving is a gift of life.
Both are beautiful beyond compare in the grace of the action and response.
To be able to give without wanting
To be able receive without greed
Makes these gifts meaningful.
Grateful for these gifts of life.

Miracle of life
Every move we make
In acknowledgement
Of the infinite truths of life.
Of the abundance of nature.
Every step we take in harmony
In conscious awareness
Of the interconnections
Of the nature of our being.
If we only care to remember
How intrinsically intertwined
Is every life to another.
Such is the miracle of every life
Every sign , sound, symbol & shape
Every part of nature has a reason to be.
Interrelated in the river of time.
Envision potential in expansiveness
Of possibilities in inclusiveness.
Recognize the awe & wonder of life.
The miracle of every manifestation.

Amazing nature
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle
Nature never ceases to amaze us
Such is the wonder and awe of nature.
Nature is full of surprises
Every tree , every branch
Every flower, every bud
Like all living things is unique
Yet patterned in synchrony
Adapting to ways of being
Nature is resilience personified.
Every where we care to look
There is something to admire
Something to respect and learn from
Salute to the splendors of Nature.

Perspectives
The ground truths of any relationship in time..
Two ways of thinking….
Familiarity breeds contempt
While the absence makes the heart fonder.
One…
All seems wonderful in the beginning
As time goes by time takes its toll.
Straining the togetherness
Cracking apart at its seams
Creating distances and gaps that grow
Making the memories sustain in hope
Or seek a closure in forgetfulness.
Two…
In isolation and silence
Seeds of thoughts find time to germinate
In both exclusion or seclusion
The heart longs for companionship
The thoughts turn to fond remembrances
Of bygone memories of the good times
Life tries to recall & recreate those times.
To salvage what is left and cherish
Knowing the priceless treasures it brings.
Hence the absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Life moves on and finds new beginnings
Yet in adaptability & flexibility
Nature continues its pathway
All comes a full circle.
Such is the circle of life.

A reason to be
A short post and photograph caught my eye and I was drawn to pen a few words.

Thank you Mark Bierman for the wonderful inspiration.
Life is what we see and make of it.
Life creates something out of nothing
And everything out of something.
The illusions in the envisioning
Are but reflections in the making
Of what is visible, so as to matter
To the purpose of the life within.
Charlie or you or me are as visible
As the sun, the sea or the stars
Partially seen and understood
In the giant plan
Each have an untold story
Each matter in their own way
Each have a reason to be
To each their own.

Art Matters
We need arts to explore our potential and understand ourselves
For the study and practice of arts opens us to discover different perspectives.
Art patterns itself through creativity
And art flourishes in appreciation and patronage.
But art emotes from the depth of the soul and spirit in the sensing.
Art can salvage the broken and the indifferent souls.
As much as channel the creative genius to express from within.
Art is both an intervention as much as intrainment experience.
When the soul speaks art renders.
Savvy
Art for Heartsake
Practice anything
Consistently
As a way of life
And it will become art.
An art that is tangible…
To sense like an artist
In the throes of creation.
For as you practice
In your passionate perseverance
Your soul is enriched
And your spirit shines
In its own truth.
“Art is for the heart from the heart with all your heart ….
Savvy Raj
Whispers of wisdom
In the din of the moment
Is the quiet reflection
Of thoughts in musings,
Like a whisper in all its subtlety,
Like a soft caress of a breeze,
Like a feeling wafting through.
The soul knows…
Unnoticed, unobserved often
Yet felt by one and all in consensus.
At one point or the other
It is sensed in the being.
For it’s the heart that senses…
Whispers that speak to the soul;
Wherever you are, you know…
Wisdom speaks to the willing listener.
