You are not defined
By riches or possessions.
You are defined
By the attitude you carry.
Anchored in faith
No matter the storm.
You are defined
By the energy you emanate…
In the choices you make,
In the decisions you take.
Way beyond circumstances.
It is a quality of the spirit.
Greater the refinement,
Greater the grace.

A question in reflection…
When the world outside gets chaotic, what is that within you that keeps you anchored?
There is charisma in calm
It’s the power of calm
In life’s highs and lows.
In calm lies confidence
Invoking assurance
Being calm in a conversation
Evokes the energy of stillness
Emits vibrancy devoid of agitation.
In the calm there is depth of awareness
In the center of calm
Is potential to assimilate
No matter the chaos
You find equilibrium.
When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?
What does calm feel like to you in this now?
What is the distance between you and your sense of calm?
Where & how do you think you can find your calm?
The morning moments
My morning moments have the preciousness of calm for me.I choose dawn to intend the calm for the day ahead. In the quiet moments of dawn where the world is still sleeping, I find my creative state of flow. Although I have been able to connect with my calm through the day, the vibes of this part of the day resonate so much. The early morning sets the tone of the day for me.
How do you relate to the calm of dawn?
How do you sense the power of calm?

In the vortex of life
arrives the gift of changes;
the breaking of the bubbles,
Of long held beliefs,
Of false ego and resistance
Of fear that limits.
Like the wind that’s too fierce to contain…
Cleaning the cobwebs of confusion.
And life transforms for the better.
Savvy Raj
Every thought has its own flow
Every word finds its own space
Every space has its own synchrony
Every sound its own frequency
Every element, its own energy
Lets enjoy the space between the steps.
And acknowledge the harmony in the synergy…
All in time.
Savvy
Every decade teaches …
At ten
Life is innocence
At twenty
Life is discovery
At thirty
Life is pursuit
At forty
Life is awareness
At fifty
Life is experiences
At sixty
Life is expansion
At seventy
Life is inclusion
At eighty
Life is rememberence
At ninety
Life is grace
At hundred & plus
Life is a testament
Of a lifetime lived.
Yet life is in this now…
Live life lovingly.
PS : A simple take on life so far, and in witnessing life & the living around me. I know life cannot be summed up in a word and there is much I want to add for every decade… moreover some words I have described may be experienced earlier or later.
So to each their own…

Rain
It is the nature of rain
To wash away the dust
Until it’s clean and green.
Yet, too much rain
Floods and destroys.
Such is the truth of nature.
Each element of nature
Is balanced with the other.
The dry lands help sustain the wetlands…
One supports another
To sustain and thrive.
Such is the truth of nature.
Desert
Desert sand blows in the wind…
Winds carry the dust
Across the world,
Over lands and water,
Finding new settlements.
The truth of nature
Is the interconnections.
The kind that keeps us alive,
The kind we may not realize,
The kind we need to emulate
In this now and for our future,
To survive and thrive.
Just think…
If nature survives through quiet reciprocity, perhaps our own survival depends on learning to receive what is given, and giving what is needed.
Todays freeverses are inspirations that arrived from contemplations with Anjana, my dear mother.

Are you the kind who travels back in time,
Rereading pages you’ve already turned?
Sensing memories and vivid imagery
Reflected in the lines.
Do you leave a bookmark behind,
Making your presence felt and remembered?
Or are you the kind who reads on the go,
Welcoming whatever comes your way?
The kind who leaves yesterday in its place,
Eager to explore new horizons…
Aspiring to look ahead, to move forward,
And experience so much more of life.
Sometimes we turn back the pages to honor the words that shaped us.
And sometimes we choose to look forward at the horizon ahead…
Whatever the way, simply know,
We have within us,the words and this now.
Reading is a mirror to living.

The truth of love is acceptance…
The kind that is unconditional.
It asks not another
To change and fit a mold,
Nor expects you to compromise your values.
The truth of love is realization
Of your heart’s expansion,
And seeing the possibilities
Amidst life’s myriad challenges.
The truth of love is freedom
From control and suppression.
True love breathes free
And lives life lovingly.
In reflection…
Ultimately, love is not a destination or a demand; it is a quiet, daily momentum. It is the conscious choice to move through a complex world and simply live life lovingly.
Love is not a bond that ties us down, but an expansion that sets us free…
If love is an expansion rather than a bond, what is one unspoken demand you can release today to let your relationships breathe freer?
The inspiration for these verses in flow arrived in the moment I started commenting on this interesting poem and its take on love.
Live life lovingly.
Savvy
We evolve along
As the dust settles
Winds of the desert,
As the raging storm subsides…
Like the water flows
Unto the vastness of the ocean,
We transition in phases
So interwoven within every now.
Endless beginnings indeed.
Emerging and merging,
Living life lovingly.
Savvy
PS
This piece was directly inspired by a reader’s kind and generous comment on my previous poem, Interwoven. The poem spoke of the universal source (nature, sun, ocean).
This poem is the sequel speaking of the internal journey (storms, dust settling).
In reflection I leave you with a thought…
If every ending is merely the source reshaping itself, how can we embrace the transitions of our lives not with fear, but as an endless beginning to practice the art of living life lovingly?
