Eloquence of words
When words propose in a flow
That is persuading and all pervading
No matter the rhyme or form
It becomes poetry
Creating a zen like feeling
That makes you want to be
In that state of awareness
Inspite of knowing
Everything moves on…
Have you ever been enticed by the eloquence of words?
Personally I have many favorites
But these profound words by Gibran deeply impacted me…
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
Infact all the lines that follow are equally poignant as well as profound.
So much wisdom in those words for life and living.
Which is your favorite piece of poetry?
Do your remember those verses vividly ?
Do share. Would love to read!

Balmy weather
It’s balmy weather
It’s early morning
The sun is moving
In and out of the trees
Traveling with me
As I am walking…
The chirping birds
Awakening the world
With hope fulness
The wind is resting
Perhaps still to awaken
The clouds are clearing
Heralding the light
In the mighty tree
A few yards from me
I see a beautiful vision… Cont’d
What is it that I see?
Would you like to continue from here…?

A Great Idea
In thinking through
No idea is too small
Or no idea too big
Many small sparks
Come together
To ignite a great idea
In effort & execution
The ideas find a foothold
And steers on to success
An idea is as good
As the executors
As much as the values
And purpose behind it.
So that it sustains
As without follow ups
No idea evolves itself.
To claim anothers idea
As ones own.
To belittle anothers ideas
Is a mark of insecurity
And fear of losing out
Different intelligences
And respect for diversity
Grows ideas by leaps & bounds
What every founder
Must remember
Beyond funding
Nurturing the idea
Takes many minds
And many hearts
Treat people well
Stay humble & polite
And allow space
To communicate
And collaborate
And find transperency
Will work it’s magic.
Go confidently
Play on your ideas
Until the ideas
Strike the chord in you
Trust your path
Oblivious of naysayers
There are always
Going to be
Opposers to the plan
Think of them
As a free perspectives
To sift through
And fine tune ideas.
Keep seeding and nurturing positive inspiration.

What is art called in your language?
This is one of my favorite pieces from my paintings
I like a few things specifically besides the colours…
The flow
The fluidity
And the feel
I feel movements in a flow in the fluidity
I sense harmony in the synchrony
I sense the synergy of colours in the flow
I enjoyed painting this piece in one go.
I connect with this art deeply
Art is something that speaks from your soul.
In my native language ‘Art ‘is called ‘Kalai”
Would love to know what art is called in your native language?

Light & Dark
A Painting By Savvy Raj
Light is only light as long as you can see it.
Else there at most the anticipation of light.
What you see as light
Is your choice
For it is your point of view
But if light is a sense
Of the tingling warmth
Or scorching heat
Or the tenderness of touch
Light is sensed in its glow
Then light is a feeling
In the sensing
Of its so called attributes
Associated by you.
Then it’s your point of sense
What you see
What you feel
What you sense
Is a dance of illusions
Of the perception
All within you!
So is light light?
And is dark dark at all?
It is all in you!

How to find true freedom?
Freeing the body
Is to move without fear
Freeing the mind
Is to move beyond doubts
Freeing the heart
Is to hope beyond despair
Freeing the spirit
Is to sense the light in every now
Freeing the soul
Is to align to the purpose of being.
To find the flow
To free up space within
Is to let go resentment
Of trials and errors
Of judgements and assumptions
Freeing your breath
Is to sense life dance
In this now.

Fascination
I was drawn to watch this beautiful share this morning.
It is a capture of an every day phenomenon of Water drops merging into a water body.
So much beauty in the ordinary
The profound in the simple.
If we only took time
To notice and discover
We will know
How little we see
Of this dance of nature.
Savvy
And watching it in slow motion video….
Pure Fascination.
Sensing peace
Imagining peace
Soothing the spirit
Calming the senses
A river of joy flows through
In the sweet sounds of music
Memories of many melodious moments
Fleeting by in the harmony of the flow…

Be Aware
Every day is new.
A day to celebrate.
Unlike many,
We are alive to see the sun, hale n healthy.
What more reason is needed to celebrate.
Let the bitterness of the past
Dissolve in the darkness of the night.
Like a new dawn,
new beginnings,
new hopes, new effort to make it
a day with positivities and possibilities.
Step forward,
With grit and gratitude.
Each moment is special .
Miracles can happen in any moment.
Be aware when it happens.
Anjana
Count your blessings!
What makes Art work?
Art is not only what you see
But what you make others see
The canvas is blank
And yet very powerful
It can paint a picture
That speaks to you
Of things you envision
As you paint…
But what others envisage
Through your art
Is truly what makes art work!

Dance of Oneness
Understanding truths of Divinity
Is in acknowledging humanity
To understand the differences
Is to sense the light of life
Each life is unique in itself
Yet deeply aligned in the cosmos
In the dance of oneness
Between stillness and movement.
Truth emerges in realization
Of the illusions of the mind
Of human attribution
Of human reconciliation.
In this dance of truths
That every thing exists
As we see it & beyond what we see.
Is the dance of the Oneness.

Purpose of learning
The learning is introduced
In the reading or telling
The learning is beginning
In the teaching & watching
The learning is supported
In the coaching & mentoring
But the learning actually happens
In the involving & engaging.
And the learning is reinforced
In its applications and sharing.
Learning is a dance
Of the heart & mind
But when the spirit & soul
Connect in the learning
The purpose finds its path…

Heart & Mind
So many feelings
So many thoughts
Creating confusion
Body mind & spirit
What to say and do
What to hold on to
And what to let go
Queries the mind.
Let go doubt
Let go assumptions
Let go prejudice
Let go judgements
All is meant to change
All is meant to flow
Answers the heart.
But the dance of the mind and heart continues😊
Every day… until
Dancing the doubts away
The body heals
Awakening the intuitive wisdom
The spirit regenerates…

Capture of Whispers
As the brush strokes the canvas
It captures the artists essence
From the whispers of the heart
To the directions of the mind
Different strokes may appear
With the same thoughts
Different thoughts may arise
From the same strokes.
What whispers will art capture today?
