On Kindness

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.

Peace

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

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

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?

Peace Heart

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.

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?

Painting by Savvy Raj

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

Image Credits :
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!
