These words of Rumi deeply resonates here…
“I searched for God and found only myself
I searched for myself and found only God.”
Such is the truth, worth remembering in every breath.
“Inhale a prayer in every inspiration.
Exhale with gratitude in every now.”

The ones who stayed away
Acted upon with wisdom
Instead of herd mentality.
Safe are the ones who stayed away.
Exercising precautions
Refusing participation in social gatherings.
Staying away from any crowded places
For the good of all.
Time to think beyond oneself.
Expand your heart and mind
Align the self to what is safe
For one and all today.
Stay away and stay safe!
Envision the beauty of alignment
Like when the bloom centers itself!
Like this leaf that presents a backdrop!
At the right place and time
Creating visual harmony!
Like life shaping itself in Synchrony!
Like life evolving into a perfect pattern
Exuding a sense of synchrony.

Today I am happy to be sharing a motivational message in the words of my dear mother.
When we walk along the path of roses, thorns are unavoidable.
It doesn’t mean we stop walking. Remove the thorns from our way and proceed further
It may hurt. But It won’t last. Let’s keep going .
Life is like a seesaw
It keeps going up and down.
The fall and climb are parts of life.
Fret not if our efforts don’t yield results
The seed needs its own time
To grow into a tree
The buds to blossom as fragrant flowers,
The fruits and grains to ripen & nourish
Yet till then they need all the care and nurture.
So do our dreams, take its own time and
our continuous effort to become reality.
Waves fall to rise again
Leaves fall to bring
spring again
Day falls to bring a new dawn again.
Are we not a part of Nature?
Our dreams are the seed.
Our patience is the time
Our hard work is the nurture
Our Faith n Hope are the nourishment.
We may fall, be sure we will rise again
For success is awaiting to be reaped.🙏🏼
Dance even it’s in your own heart
Dance with all of your being
Dance to flow through in life
Dance to free yourself from unwanted
Dance to let go of the pain you feel
Dance to speak your own truth
Dance away your restless thoughts
Dance to bond with this now
Dance to share from the heart
Dance often dance from where you are!
Dance …As you are! Just Dance!

Today I am happy to be sharing both my vision and my verses in synching with the flow… Have enjoyed this process of many learnings in blending my art to merge and emerge along the way…
I would love to have your feedback on both my painting and poetry.Savvy
Creativity births and shapes itself through artists, time after time in eternity.
Art is a deeply personal experience and yet quite symbolic to a generation in time.
What today constitutes the Modern & Contemporary Art will soon become relics of the past that tried to catch up on the times.
Here is one such simple artistic vision in recent times that moved a chord in me.
What a particular work of art makes you feel, is more important than what it looks like.
Wouldn’t you agree?
What makes you turn towards an art?
What kind of artworks attract you?

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 ?
Would love to know!

Sometimes art simply shapes up in the nuances of expression.
Every artistic expression
Speaks of a certain experience
Of a narrative from a perspective
That can both personal or impersonal.
Yet it deeply connects the art & artist.
In those unique circumstances
That may birth the flow & the shaping.
And when the art becomes a spectacle.
The spectator interpretations
Can be equally enigmatic
As much as deeply interconnected.
All in the nuances of the artistic expression.
Savvy
Art speaks…
When does the artist know the art is complete?
Is there something as complete for an artist at all?
For art evokes endless possibilities in creativity…💙

Good writings have the power to change your mood, from gloomy to happy, inspire, and motivate.
Without readers, the writings however good, are like the beautiful moon shining over a desert.
Though the writers, may write for self-expression, the appreciation of a reader motivates them to create more.
They both are complimenting each other.
If good writing makes even one reader happy the writing has found its purpose.

These are a few words from my mother’s reflections on Writing and Reading which I found deeply inspiring. I take this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all my readers for after all there is no writer without a reader.
