Live Life Lovingly!

Endless beginnings

We evolve along

As the dust settles

Winds of the desert,

As the raging storm subsides…

Like the water flows

Unto the vastness of the ocean,

We transition in phases

So interwoven within every now.

​Endless beginnings indeed.

Emerging and merging,

Living life lovingly.

Savvy

PS

This piece was directly inspired by a reader’s kind and generous comment on my previous poem, Interwoven. The poem spoke of the universal source (nature, sun, ocean).

This poem is the sequel speaking of the internal journey (storms, dust settling).

In reflection I leave you with a thought…

If every ending is merely the source reshaping itself, how can we embrace the transitions of our lives not with fear, but as an endless beginning to practice the art of living life lovingly?

Interwoven

The Sun emits rays,
And it feels they are sent to Earth,
But they remain part of the source.


A drop of the ocean
Becomes rain,
And merges back
Into the ocean.


All shapes and forms
Multiply and diminish,
As part of the same source.


Every energy is as it is…
Emerging and merging,
In time and patience.


You and I are not different…
We are part
Of the same source.


All that is,
Is one with the source.


In knowing that you and I
Are part of this source,
We enact the purpose
Of our being in faith & trust…


Emerging and merging,
Living life lovingly.

Savvy

“If we are all beautifully interwoven with the same cosmic source, how can we step out into the world today and consciously choose to live life lovingly?

Ripples of Reflection

Like drops of water

Creating circles upon ripples

In the vastness of the  ocean of life,

One thought leads to another,

One word finds another,

One deed creates a momentum.

What is common is the energy,

In the ripple of reflections

Sparking creative flows

That finds its own purpose.

For nothing is accidental

Every thing connects

In its own time.

Savvy

From the standpoint  of physics, a ripple doesn’t actually  move the water forward, it moves the energy  through the water…

Likewise our creative and spiritual practices are simply  conductors for channeling deeper universal energy.

This perspective shift acknowledges that timing and alignment  are natural laws  and not coincidences thereby  discards the unnecessary anxieties in trying to force outcomes…

After all we are both the drop of water and the ocean itself.

So if every thought word and deed creates ripples in the vast ocean of your life, what is the nature of the wave you are setting in motion right now?

What happens in space, stays in space.

​Space…

is what I make of it.

​Space allows,

and restrains

all at once.

In every now,

space is filled with infinite possibilities.

​Abundance.

Potential.

All truths,

as I perceive them in space.

​Space is fluid.

Space is alive.

​Space…

is what you make of it.

​What you sense in space,

stays in space.

What happens in space,

stays in space.

​Space is wonder.

An expansive phenomenon.

​The feeling of space

for you,

for me

is deeply different.

So is its need.

​Is there a divide at all

between physics and metaphysics?

Aren’t they interwoven,

deeply interconnected?

​It is only a question

of how open we are

to understanding space,

and the possibilities

in its potential.

​It is all

In, around,

and beyond.

Welcoming the contrasts

​Balance

​Such a fine word

​Yet much is the wisdom

In the art of balance.

​We are healthier

In the balance

Of body mind & spirit.

​Tilting to extremes

Brings along dullness

Or extreme pressure.

​In simple realization

Of the wisdom of equanimity

We allow life to unfold

For change is the only constant.

​Our senses are enhanced

As we continue to balance the unexpected

And welcome the contrasts.

Savvy

Listen to the full audio  reflection on this concept in my latest episode of The Path of Clarity Podcast on Spotify.

Its amazing isn’t it, how one thought leads to another. This poem has sensory roots emerging from sweet and spice. Do listen and share your thoughts.

Recreate

Sometimes the best of efforts lead nowhere.

You find youself back in the same place

Feeling lost and helpless.

Perhaps its time to recreate yourself.

Stop reminiscing in the past, for it is gone in time;

There is no point in playing it over in your mind.

Instead invest that energy in recreating from where you are.

Immense are the possibilities, if only you choose to see.

Cultivate the spirit within to shine again,

Stay centered, in touch with your strengths again.

Aim to simply accomplish one task today, however small.

Rise beyond your past. 

Become all that you are meant to be…

Recreate and rediscover yourself.

Savvy

Listen 

Have you ever poured your absolute best efforts into a project, a habit, or a dream, only to lift your head and realize you are standing right back at the starting line?

In my next episode on my podcast journey Path of  Clarity I explore the quiet frustration of feeling stalled and why looking backward only drains the energy you need for today.

It’s time to stop replaying yesterday and gently begin the process of recreating yourself, exactly from where you stand.

Positive psychological shifts in thinking happens when you complete just one micro-task today.
Move gently, stay centered, and rediscover your strengths.

The Power of Calm

​There is charisma in calm.

It’s the power of stillness

in life’s highs and lows.

​In calm lies confidence,

invoking assurance.

To be calm in a conversation

evokes an energy of peace…

a vibrancy devoid of agitation.

​Within the calm, there is a depth of awareness.

At the center of composure

is the potential to assimilate;

no matter the chaos,

you find your equilibrium.

Contemplations

When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?

​What does calm feel like to you in this moment?

What is the distance between you and your sense of serenity?

Where and how do you think you can find your center?

A Note on the Dawn

My morning moments hold a precious tranquility for me. I choose the dawn to set my intention for the day ahead. In the quiet moments before the world wakes, I find my creative state of flow. Although I strive to connect with this peace throughout the day, the energy of the early morning resonates most deeply. It sets the tone for everything that follows.

​How do you relate to the calm of dawn?

How do you sense the power of calm?

Audacity of Hope

Hope is audacious
It is the nature of hope.
To dream of wins again
No matter the failures.

To see the light of dawn
No matter the darkness of night
Hope is here to stay.

Birthing Creativity

On poetry & musings…

Isn’t it amazing…
Letters birthing into words
Seeded in the sea of thoughts Connected in a rhythmic continumn
Turning out as verses
All imprints of consciousness
Flowing through in time
Finding its own synchrony.

Levity of spirit

A little lightness of being

Takes you through the day

Dark moments turn lighter

Inject a dash of humor

When life feels too somber

Uplifting the moments…

So partake in a little levity of spirit

Its good for the soul .

The River Within

There is a river within

That is flowing

On its own path

Coursing through the veins

Drawing from the souls well.

The well of the infinite

Unfolds many a paths

For the river to take

The river chooses its way

To flow on…

There is strength of the flow

In the movements

In the flexibility

In the adaptability

In supporting the body.

There is a journey onwards

Towards acknowledging

The purpose of the flow

The river perseveres

Until the moment of fulfillment…

When the river meets the sea.

Savvy

The above AI imagery  was prompted by me a while back in time… I just found a new interpretation to it today.

It’s Possible

Light
A space of darkness
Is bound to beam with light

Clarity
A space of uncertainty
becomes a space of clarity.

Breath
In the inhale of purpose
Perseverance exhales with passion

Thoughts
In the racing of thoughts
A quiet mind finds itself.

Mind
A mind that allows itself to know
Can be inclusive in expansiveness.

Heart
A heart that wanders
Can be the heart that wonders
Of the yet unknown.
Flowing unbridled with spirit
It can find its anchor in time.

Peace
A place of great unrest
Is truly the place for peace.
To seed and nurture
And evolve the being.

Success
Success births itself
In every bud to a bloom.
In every new moment.

The choice is yours to take

Crossing over
Bridges of time
Beginning to end
Ending to begin again
In body spirit & souls
Infinite forms of expressions
Between betwixt & beyond
Bonding new & old
In part & whole
Tuning into the sounds
Of harmony & rhythm
Inexplicable joys
Of moments in movements
As paths are splayed
Across time to tide over
In every moment
The choice is yours to take.

As I

As I explore
I discover
As I perceive
I sense
As I pray
I ease
As I seek
I find
As I write
I express
As I sing
I channel
As I dance
I heal
As I read
I learn
I am eternally grateful
For all these learnings
That happen, all in good time.

Dignity of being

Its not pride. It’s dignity,

That you need with you.

Much is the difference between .

In no uncertain moment

Lose your sense of dignity.

For dignity is divine

For it embodies your spirit & soul

Pride is just a human emotion. 

If ever you face a situation

Where anothers words & deeds 

Leave you broken

Remember  its just your pride & ego

That feels deflated in the moments.

It’s just a phase of life it will pass.

Your dignity stays with you

In the way you handle

With no loss of grace

Stay dignified, stay graceful.
