Are we actually simplifying complexities or complicating simplicity?
Simplicity dwells in complexity,
And complexity is just tangled simplicity
In the designer’s intelligence.
Both dance hand in hand.
The meaning we choose to perceive,
The connect we choose to establish,
The intention we choose to deduce,
At a point in time
Can make it irrefutably simple
Or irrefutably complex to understand.
The simple truth holds all the complex potential
In an untangled arrangement.
The very arrangement is fodder for imagination
For continuity in ingenuity.
In the momentum of thoughts,
The complex gives birth
To new pathways in the patterns,
Promoting in the propelling
A curiosity in exploration
Of simplifying the confounding complexities.
History is replete with stories
Of complicating the simple truth
Of the being… in the boggling for answers
In refuting and relegating
Our beautiful ball of blue.
This Circle of nature was assumed
Once as square in shifting perspectives.
Meaning perceived in perspective dimensions,
Unfolding with the understanding of that era,
Moving on in time to deconstruct the construction
Of breaking down codes of assumption,
Of restructuring in the resurrection,
Of recognition and the refuting
To understanding the circles of yin and yang,
The dance of polarity,
The duality of nature,
Death and birth
As part of the circle of oneness
Of life and living.
The simple resides in the complex.
The complex is just simple turned upside down.
Perhaps as the humankind increased in numbers,
The simple was too profound
To answer the multitude of mulling thoughts.
In different directions
Due to the innate nature of man
To wonder in awe
And thus, the simple no longer seemed simple.
To solve the emerging enigmas,
Delving into the simple,
Intelligent design was questioned
In scientific temperament,
In philosophical propositions,
Until creativity created connections
And new expressions in the exploration
To deduce, deduct and denote
Infinite patterns of potential,
Making sense of uniqueness in the self-similarity
As the irrefutable simplicity of it all.
In the search for answers
To simplify the complex
Or to complicate the simple,
Many paths present themselves.
Every path is infinite in possibilities.
The question is are we ready to walk the path,
And what we evolve into while walking the path of choice.
In search of simple truths, we encounter the magnitude of complexities underlying simplicity. Simplicity elegantly serves itself, but the paradox of simplicity is in the complexities of finding meaning and accepting such simplicity as the ultimate truth of being.
I glanced at these words in the post I chanced upon this morning. I sensed that peculiar feeling of passion for dancing stirring within me. It has been a while since I conducted my last workshop and a few days since I last danced. Yet…every sentence meant a lot to me and I know if you share a passion or simply love to dance, you would perhaps resonate with these thoughts as well. So here goes…
I don’t just dance…I perform
Witnessing the world as my stage
I dance my part in this game of life…
I breathe
Witness to the dance of my breath
In every breath inhaled, a gratitude of the receiving.
In every aware moment of pauses between the inhale and exhale
Invoking the divinity in the connectedness
Between the silence of sounds and soundlessness.
Every gesture a conscious acknowledgement of this dance of the breath.
The gaps in the journey as pauses in the silence know its purpose of being.
Spaced out in rhythm divine all a part to greater awakenings in every moment of time.
I watch the world disappear
To sense the world fleeting by, just care to waltz
To embrace the souls longing to move and flow along in graceful time… just dance…
To sense the subtlety of change in every dance of your breath.
To dance is to witness the ebb and flow of the tides of life and pass it on.
To dance is to feel fulfilment and contentment in nothingness all in one breath.
To dance is to enjoy the being as much as accept its fleeting nature.
I release my feelings
Feelings come and go and change is the only constant.
In the strength of release of feelings exists the freedom to transcend beyond and acknowledge the life in our being.
To release the feelings and not succumb to it is an art of living well.
To unlock the self from the prison of thoughts.
To be not a slave to feelings but learn to master it, to let it flow its course naturally.
I lead with my heart
Dancing from the heart,
Being grateful for the conscious awareness of the divinity of motion.
To move from the heart in all that one endeavours.
Breathing in the intention of the eternal awareness
towards collective consciousness of oneness is what leading and sensing grace is all about.
I tear down my walls …
Dance has taught me to liberate myself from the confines of limited existence.
From learning to move in space through the art of dance
In releasing and revelling, while sensing the freedom of space within and around me.
I stop feeling sad
Yes indeed! Although I personally make it a point to balance my emotions before conducting any workshop or working on dance in any way, be it writing about it or sharing my skills or dancing any form… yet there have been circumstances beyond which have been helped by simply dancing it out.
I lose the pain
The happy hormones released in the body has a lot to do to manage the release of pain and by changing our body’s perception and response to all kinds of existing pain.
To dance is to acknowledge the letting go…
Of pain and allow joy in great measures. Often a dull headache nagging back pain or even a tightness in the body improves and disappears after dance class and we are left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
I let go I smile
I remember instances of students coming into the dance class forgetting a smile and walking out wearing it so beautifully.
Guess to smile from the heart one needs to just dance and let go.😊
I don’t just dance I do so much more …
Indeed!
Whatever I choose to do, the way of dance is pure bliss of a bless in my path guiding and shining the light for me.
I hope to always choose to dance with life with all of me, grateful for its gifted presence in every moment of now.
Consciousness connects
Mind activates
Thoughts begin
Confusion erupts
Chaos reigns
Noise torments
Disorder disturbs
Movement stills
Sound muffles
Silence speaks
Heart listens
Soul shines
Spirit evolves …
Silence speaks when the heart listens . As awareness builds and spirit regenerates the being moves to another cycle of progression in eternal time. Savvy Raj

Have you felt like reaching out with all your heart?
Have you held another’s hand in your hand?
Great is the healing in a caring touch.
One handhold can lift a broken spirit.
One hug can heal another soul.
One step to reach out can tug at another’s heartstrings.
One touch of kindness can make all the difference.
Great is the healing in a caring touch.
Both life and living can at times turn cold
When the children grow and empty their nests,
When life becomes too busy to be,
When relationships start to lose their meaning,
When tired body leaves one forlorn,
When thoughts seem to turn anxious,
When moments seem to drag,
When a sense of utter loneliness prevails,
Whenever there are feelings of helplessness.
Remember to reach out and hold a needy hand
As the power of healing is in a caring touch.
