Universal Oneness is an awareness
In reflections of the truth of the being
Interweaved and interconnected in every life .
Strength shines through the vulnerabilities.
As a power in the very fragility
Touched by divine grace
Enmeshed in the senses
Fired in the cauldron of life and living
Comes a consciousness of the flow
In and around us
Beyond the illusion of separation.
Is the dance of connection.
Savvy
A great message that just had to be shared . Am sure we all can resonate with this.
All I did was add some imagery to the words!
Savvy
Do share and pass the good words around.
*URGENTLY NEEDED…*
Not Blood,
But,
An ELECTRICIAN, to restore the current between people, who *do not speak* to each other anymore.
An OPTICIAN, to change the *outlook of people.*
An ARTIST, to draw *a smile* on everyone’s face.
A CONSTRUCTION WORKER, to build *a bridge* between neighbours.
A GARDENER, to cultivate *Good Thoughts.*
A PLUMBER to clear the *choked and blocked mindsets.*
A SCIENTIST to rediscover *compassion.*
A LANGUAGE TEACHER for *better communication* with each other.
Last but not the least A MATHS TEACHER, for all of us to relearn how *to count on each other.*
WordPress certainly has its unique ways
Of appreciation and encouragement
To support the writers on this platform
There are stats that show up on screen.
So I am told one morning by WordPress
That I am on a three-day posting streak
At first, I was amused and a tad bit confused
For hadn’t I been posting literally every day… for so long…
But guess WordPress took its own sweet time
To catch up to my blog amongst the millions
So I too decided to play along…
Every day since then I have been publishing
A poem written afresh, simply inspired
A continuation from my previous post
In creatives emerging in thoughts.
Perhaps from a readers comment
Or better still in its contemplation.
Today as I complete a 10-day streak
I want to share these published posts
Here together in an attempt to string
These beads of thoughts together
Poetry can be the jewellery of language.
Pearls of fresh thoughts bonded into words.
Creativity strung together in a form.
Like a necklace that is adorned in appreciation.
Creativity is there within
Us all for the taking
And all it needs is a step in
In reflection and action…
It was a joy to play along
Connecting the dots,
Stringing the words,
As they came along.
Kudos to WordPress
Stats for the supportive inputs
And my amazing blogger friends
For inspirations along my way.
Savvy
Here are the links of the last 10 day Post streak that I will simply call Creative Enrichments
A few observations …
These ten days I had a purpose steeped in creative enrichment. The idea was to be receptive and responsive to whatever that these posts brought forth.
And I sensed how these Inspirations came my way on its own.
A special thanks to a few WordPress writers who are involved without their own knowledge… that I want to thank here.

Windows of the Soul
Waltz of the Eyes
If eyes could speak
They would say a thousand words
May be more
Yes eyes speak more than words can tell
Have you seen eyes up close
They say much more
There is defiance denial
Hurt and humility
Fear and pain
Sadness and confusion
Longing for approval
And anguish of anxiety
There is judgement and approval
Brazeness and courage
Hope and trust
Mystic and magic
Enigma so magnetic
And yet there is also
Surprise and innocence
Charm and grace
Kindness and Generosity
A Light of Love
For life and living.
Waltz of the Eyes indeed! Speaking much without words that portrays the undeniable truths of life .
How much life experiences can speak through these windows of our soul! Check it for yourself … so much to read in there. May be you can see much more ….do share!
Savvy
Thank you dear Efi for mentioning Stavros and this beautiful lilting music…’Waltz of the Eyes’ in my earlier post.This waltz is truly bewitching! 💙💙💙
Are you a born poet?
Questions my friend the other day
The words linger in my thoughts for sure
And I have no quick repartee
But in silent contemplation…
Words, we all have in our thoughts
But a trigger of senses in life and living
Brings it out in its own unique way
At times it’s a trickle
And other times a shower
As it springs forth a million thoughts and streams it’s way in a flow.
Poetry emerges from life in the living
The writer ought not to hold back
For it is powered by its own purpose
To be born and shared.
All it needs is a trigger
Of emotions in the sensing
Of feeling and witnessing
Of pain and of pleasure
Of being and doings
In life and living.
The poet is born in the expressions in eloquence.
As much as a painter waltzes with his brush on canvas
And like Photographers tango through the light and dark
Poets dance through the heart with words…
Art births itself in breathing in life
A little deeper every time…
And leaves imprints in exhaling from the heart
For Art is a matter of connecting hearts.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Savvy

The light shines from above in congruence
On top of the mountain
As much as on the land and trees
The light knows not the difference.
It’s purpose is to shine …
The snow capped mountains receive it
And disperse it in reflections.
And the light melts the snow
To let it flow like a river.
While it’s a different path for the tree.
The tree takes it to grow and bloom
As the light helps the flowers blossom.
Nature teaches amazing grace
To flow as much as to grow
To let go as much as to flourish
Lessons that come in the envisioning
Source is the same
It is all in the choices
In the knowing
What to do
With the source…
All is a perspective of light!
Savvy
An Expression is full of intent
Full of focus and determination
Seems far removed from submission
Let alone the letting go.
And yet in the juxtaposition…
To flow with the eloquence of grace
Exists the enigma of the elusive
The surrealism of subtlety
Of approach & demeanour
Of action and intention.
For in the wisdom of every movement
Is the potential of the now…
To capture or to connect
To be bound or to blend
All is a choice within us.
Savvy
Every moment matters
As every moment is dancing
In the potency of the now,
Pulsing and vibrating
With life in the movements.
Stillness is but a dance
In the dynamics of the flow.
In betwixt and in between
Pause, rest and action.
This now has reflections
Of both past reminiscences
And future possibilities
Wrapped up in its being.
What you see in this now,
What you intend in this now,
What you choose in this now
Is what you receive in this now.
In every now
Simply care to
Think well, choose well and do well.
Do the best you can. Because you can!
Savvy
Creativity is innate potential.
Deeply entwined in humility
In every realisation of potential infinite
Creation manifests itself time and again.
So much to know and understand
So much to learn and discover
So much to explore and fathom
Lifetimes are never enough
Such is the potential of the infinitum.
Creativity is embedded and enmeshed with emotions. To create is to connect with the core and the depth of the being.
Savvy
In the flow of creation
Is the acknowledgement
Of the letting go
In the depth of creation
There is only pure potential
Where I, Me or Myself
Ego plays ceases to exist.
Expressions are conceived
In the potentials intention
They will find purpose
In the very strength of intention
That elevates consciousness
Beyond pride and prestige
Beyond fame and fortune.
As creativity tunes in to sense
The subtlest of emotion.
In the shaping and the blending
From thoughts to action
Creativity and humility
Go hand in hand in sublimity.
Have you any experience on the interconnects of creativity and humility? Do care to share.

Blowin’ in the Wind
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
Yes, ‘n’ how many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea?
Yes, ‘n’ how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
Yes, ‘n’ how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ‘n’ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ‘n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

Communion: A boundless bond An artwork by Savvy Raj
And I reshare this post thanks to the lovely quote share by my dear friend Ashok Subarao who thoughfully sends inspiring quotes and pictures for me to write and paint on .
This quote share by William Blake resonated deeply with what I had written on Transpersonal Love . So I simply had to incorporate it here and what was interesting to me to note was how the image colours of the quote you sent and matched so beautifully with my painting drawn back in time .
Thank you for your kind shares once again .
Your body confidence begins with honouring the body. Find ways for self care that nourishes the temple of your abode. Treat yourself well.
Savvy
The Art of Self Management.
Honour and value the body.
It is truly the only one you have.
Disrespecting the body
Creates disease from within
Managing the self is to value your potential.
Integrating the spirit and the soul
Is to align the thoughts and actions
And to realise the infinite possibilities
In balance of the heart and mind.
Care for your body. Nurture it .
And take control of your health.
Respect the body for your life is in it!

Channelling Embodiment: Artwork by Savvy Raj
On Embodiment
Immerse yourself completely in your passion
Your every expression of it is what makes it tangible
As you direct your focus to its manifestation
As you keep moving from the abstract to the concrete
As you recognize the gifts of life and connect with it.
Your engagement will and perseverance will take you through
That is what creates possibilities beyond limitations.
To realise your dream, you embody it.
Savvy
