Peace is a force of nature
Creating strength within you
To face life with a calm presence
Unrattled and focused in approach
When peace flows in you
A river of joy flows through you
Cultivating compassion
And connection to all of nature.
In the peace of mind and heart
The spirit is at ease
It is gentle in its presence
Yet creates nerves of steel
Peace dares to be at ease.
In the journey through life.
Such is the power of peace.

The journey of creativity
Flourishes in the flow
Out of passionate awareness
Of the spaces between
Light to dark & dark to light.
For in betwixt these hours
Ideas birth & creativity grows.
In passionate perseverance
Puzzles fit in patience.

Sometimes comments by readers become an inspiration for verses in a flow…. This was once such a flow.. I thank @KatieMiaFrederick for the inspiring comment. 🙏
For me the art of poetry is…
A faith in the verses that flow.
And faith in the flow that finds its purpose,
For faith is all there is,
Without it nothing is.

Wherever you are,
Wherever you go
Be a messenger of peace
Sense the hope that peace brings
In its wake, life regenerates.

Keep the flame burning bright
Rise up to the moment at hand
Have hope, feed the faith
For the day is not done

Being rude is easy, it creates animosity.
Politeness comes from caring in goodwill.
Being angry is easy, it breaks down relationships.
Patience comes from perseverance of the being.
Being hostile is easy and hurts another.
Love is soulful and builds one another.
Being hateful is easy, it weakens the spirit.
Kindness emnates from the strength of the soul.

Today I was reading about Peace…
Such a beautiful feeling
You feel it not only through words
But in your heart, mind and body
In fact when all of you
Is peaceful, you radiate peace
Within and around you.
Feel peace Be in peace
Share peace.
Live in peace.

The Power of You
Little do you know of what you truly are…
Infact you are not privy to the powers vested in you.
Your Creator your Source Coder
Manifested you from infinite intelligence.
You have a heart to love and feel
You have the strength of your mind.
You have the power of choice and will
You have ability to visualize your intentions.
You can make your life good and empower others to live well.
Your challenges, your doubts your insecurities,
Are water under the bridge
If you really care to see…
You are more than enough to take on the world.
For you were meant to survive and thrive
Many a solar cycles in your lifetime.
Trust in every cell of your being
You are meant to be
All that you truly can be…
Stay hopeful and empower yourself and others
For hope is here to stay…
Stay on…
And always remember
To acknowledge the’ Power of You’

On Forgiveness
An action that builds bridges
Creates connections
Erases errors
And heals hearts.
©Savvy Raj
And I love this inspiration that I came across in my readings today…
Because forgiveness is like this:
A room can be dark because you have closed the windows, you’ve closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart. Desmond Tutu
What are your thoughts on this?
Cultivating inner peace
Begins with the awareness
Of your own breath
Just for a moment
Take a pause and reflect
On the inhaled breath
You cannot hold it much longer
You have to let it go.
Likewise to this
Think of all the conflicts
Of the storms raging within you
Think of burdens weighing you down
How long do you choose to carry them?
You have to let it go, one day or another
Why not now,? And live free
Sensing the lightness of being.
You have One life one heart.
Choose to live life with heartfelt peace.

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!

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…?

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.

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?
