Live Life Lovingly!

Flowing with life lovingly

Everything is in this now

Who am I in this now,

Matters more than ever before

For tomorow that is yet to arrive.

Instead of mulling over

Uncertainties of life

Disappointments & falls

Rise in this moment.

Ask the self

Who am I in this now?

Whatever and however this moment presents…

Am I able to look at what is?

Meet it with composure?

What are my kind of choices ?

Am I reacting or responding  

In this now of my life?

Perhaps in this vulnerable space

With the truths of my being,

I sense myself growing

From and out of every  experience.

That teaches me to listen

Allowing me to flow with life

Making sense, along the way.

Knowing in my heart

That I am not a stagnant pond

Nor a stone refusing to roll.

For rolling stones gather no moss

I flow with lightness

Living life lovingly.

A night to remember…

Vision & verses by Savvy Raj

A moonlit night
The beach glows bright
Silvery waves, sugary white

As the last of the seagulls take flight
Evening dusk shadows the skylight.

To behold, what a sight

To remember, what a night.

Savvy

Meet me right here

Meet?

Meet where?

You tell me

Is there a place

That is better than here?

A place that’s inviting called WordPress.

An inclusive space for  creative minded souls

So meet we will, right here

In this wordy writing space

Time and time again

You and me

Sharing words

Heartfully…

💙

Balancing the breath



Serendipitous dawn
Across emerald waters
Spiraling sun shines
Balancing my breath
On soft sandy shores
Ocean mist fills my senses.

P.S :

The Vision & verse…

A bit on writing this poem.

I choose an open structure  with just a light punctuation such that the lines flow into one another and can be interpreted creatively.  I recognize it is a natural way for me to write.

I remembered a day where simply walking on such a  peaceful eastern shore, I felt the shifting energy bring balance in my being. There was just me the sky  and the ocean, today I have tried to envision that lived moment, that presence I felt in the white sands and whiffs of ocean mist in just these six lines of verse.

Just another tree?

Roads of Goa

Don’t know you 

How you live and breathe

In these nondescript pathway.

Yet here you are

Vividly present

Colouring the blue sky

With blossoms of contrasts.

Mature trunk and verdant   leaves

You strike a pose 

You hold a  stance 

In your unique way.

I see you dear tree

Grateful for your being

For you nurtured many lives

Seen many a solar cycles.

I bless you with all my heart

For healing this world…

For the world may be

You are just another tree

For me you live vibrantly

Evergreen in my memories.

A sight to behold

A vision to thank 

In recognition and  gratitude

For your impactful presence🙏

A trip down memory lane.

An unexpected yet beautiful burst of colour contrasting the bright blue sky  prompted me to click a photo in a split second, enroute a road trip to Goa a few years ago…

P.S.

Sharing some amazing facts about the positive ecological impacts from one fully mature tree, that I came across.

Key Environmental & Ecological Impacts

  • Natural Climate Control: Through evapotranspiration and shade, one healthy mature tree provides a net cooling effect equal to 10 room-sized air conditioners running 20 hours a day. This can lower local microclimate temperatures by up to 3°F–5°F.
  • Carbon Vault: A single tree absorbs roughly 48 pounds (22 kg) of CO₂ per year. Over a 40-year lifespan, it locks away nearly 1 metric ton of atmospheric carbon in its trunk, roots, and surrounding soil.
  • Oxygen Generation: One fully grown, leafy tree generates enough net oxygen per year to sustain 2 to 4 human beings.
  • Hydrological Shield: A single mature canopy can intercept and soak up 2,300 gallons of stormwater runoff per year. Its root network stabilizes topsoil against erosion while filtering heavy metals and synthetic pollutants before water enters local aquifers.
  • Air Filtration: Leaves and bark actively trap particulate matter (PM2.5) while absorbing gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, and sulfur dioxide—removing dozens of pounds of air pollutants annually.
  • Biodiversity Anchor: A single native tree (such as an oak) can support over 500 distinct species of insects, birds, mosses, and beneficial microorganisms, functioning as a self-contained ecosystem.

That I am fond of trees is nothing new… I have written many verses on trees before as well, yet in here I share a message close to my heart…

Nurture nature Nurture trees.

You are doing an important  service to help support self sustaining powerhouse of oxygen to our planet.

Wind on sand

Wind on the sand

Gathering gently

Singing sweetly…

Whistling winds…

Humming & howling

Desert dunes

Deep drones

Shifting sands

Slumping steep

Silver on silver

Gold on gold.

Wind on water

The wind on the water

Dancing divine

Riveting rhythm

Forming in the flow.

Patterns performing

Orchestras in the ocean

Smile from the heart!

It’s truly a wonderful way to live inside out.

There is a lot in life to be thankful for .

Sending such an intention outward is an unending hope, that life never hardens, the living with all our heart & soul.

Grace of Luminescence

On a moonlit night 
Embalmed in its luminescence.

Bathed in its argent glow
Graced by the peace in the beam

Radiance lingers in its pearlescent reflection
Drawing us to look upwards

As we are enveloped by its lovely light.

Heartbeats

Storms rage and ravage

They lay waste the efforts

And destruct many a lives.

Yet they rise, only to fall

When the storm subsides

The world picks up the pieces

Of the then and now…

To build again in hope

That tommorow is another new day.

But storms that pass, often leave imprints;

Of traumas in those testing times

Of  fear in the back of the mind. 

They appear in dreams

Almost as if it is reality.

They create confusion in the sanest of times

But when the heart knows  

That fear is just the mind 

Playing its tricks again.

It becomes brave

And continues to beat stronger

And life dances to its beats…

For it has survived the storm.

Rest all is history 💙

Storms have a way of playing with our life even when they  have long subsided.
The brewing storm in our  thoughts and dreams  may seem fearful  yet they also bring perspective to empower ourselves.

I write these verses inspired by  the reading the title and verses of this poem, this morning. Thank you 🙏   poeticmobility.

And the image here is from  my  Ai artwork collections, for I  somehow feel it belongs here as well.

I leave a question  here for you to reflect upon…

Every life has survived its own share of storms

Leaving much wisdom in the learnings  behind.

What lesson has your heart learned after the storm?

Trust that

Sometimes when you are lost

Know time is working its ways

Between these moments

Too sensitive to a fault

Or too numb to be hurt.

When life is a like a storm

And you feel lost in a maze

You still find your way out

To the now, as you read this,

Trust time to deliver ways

Trust that…

Literally magic

Birthing a new world

Giving shape to imagination

Seeding trees of possibilities

Bearing fruits in the passion

Creating energy in the synergy

Making the words come alive

Writing is literally magic…

Soul of my soul

Reaching out to the radiance

That lights my being

Feeling the magnificent way

The glow paves my path.

Seeing the grace unfold

In all its glorious resplendence

Aligning with its presence

In the breath I take.

Witnessing life transform

As darkness gives in to light

Sensing the space of lightness

As energy balances its flow.

Soul of my soul

Your omnipresence I revere

As you work your magic

Through me…

Dawn paints the day

An interesting  dawn

I woke up earlier than dawn today.

And positioned myself in my favorite space

To watch the glorious dawn

Before I could realise

A bright orange ball 

Just popped up over the horizon…

It was as if the sun was in a hurry

To awaken the world & light  the day.

As I just began to ease into the brilliance …

I saw the corner of the sun

Disappearing  into the blanket of clouds

Looming large, to dull the senses once more…

The light is hidden now

From plain sight.

Do know the sun is up 

There may be a lull in the now

But darkness is a passing cloud

Think of it, as moments to pause 

In patience for light is on the other side

Awaiting its turn to light up your day.

And yes, before I could pen these words here…

The light of dawn paints the day.
