Gratitude
To our creator
Who fills the heart
With abundance
Of love to share.
May our heart of love
Overflow and reach
The world over
Like a river
That finds the sea
The sea that meets the ocean.

Course correction
When life feels too confusing
When efforts seem meaningless
When all feels overwhelming
Simply trust and know you are closer
To the path of clarity.
Sharing a few perspectives
On course correction.
And what we as humans can do…
Shifting from pain to purpose
Seeing experiences as learning
Knowing troubles are teaching
Imbibing these lessons as wisdom.
To live life even more lovingly
Sensing the sparking of joy
That ordinary moments hold.

The way of the heart
Love is the way of the heart
The heart beats on
In tune with the sounds
Of the distant drummer.
The ultimate life giver
The source coder
Who shows the way
In living life lovingly.
Greater the tuning
Greater the listening
Greater the alignment
Easier is the path of clarity

Truth of Oneness
Truth Is Timeless
Truth Is Mindless
Truth Is Oneness
– Savvy
Listen
Which ever way you explore truth, truth is truth.
This podcast is my personal and humble dedication in exploration the synergy of two distinct pathways to self awareness.
Many paths lead home.

Life has just begun
Crossed the midstream
The shore is a swim away
The body takes its toll
Yet the spirit is willing
To ride through
And grace the shore.
On touching ground
The horizon beckons
Over the hills and dales
In the sands of time.
Trust your life
To unfold the way…
When you feel you are done
Life has just begun.

P.S
I share my prompted artwork with Ai, here again, as I feel it somehow comes together and somehow makes perfect sense with the verses.
Space…
Space.
Space allows.
Space that expands
Space that acknowledges you.
Space that lets you be.
Space that opens up for you
Space that speaks to you in you.
Space that listens as it speaks
Space that evolves you
Space for growth and learning
Space that liberates
Space frees
Space.
I wrote this piece in a flow…
In a space of calm.
I enjoyed writing it as I began playing with space in and around the poem unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.
I hope you enjoy reading it.

Spirit of Humans
Every living being,
And every part of our beautiful world
Has survived through time
Overcoming many obstacles
For some it is nature at its worst.
Storms and calamities
Hurricanes and floods…
For others it may be personal
And professional…
The human grit is plain to see
For we are part of nature
Persevering to preserve
Aspiring to evolve.
Remarkable is the spirit in resilience
It finds the wisdom in the challenges
To not just survive but thrive
My salute…
To the human spirit.

Beauty of impermenance
Today, I came across a beautiful Japanese word called ‘Komorebi’ that depicts…the beauty of light filtering in through the leaves. And I see this picture, that I had saved, somehow seems to fit right in…
Beauty of impermenance
Every ray of light
In these leaves …
Can never be replicated
To exact moments.
Yet there is stillness
In its fleeting moment
In simple appreciation,
And heartfelt acknowledging
Of the beauty of impermenance.

Preciousness Of Now
What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?
It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.
Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self
And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.
On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️
#Life Life Lovingly ❤️
This post actually was inspired by a comment from my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.
Her comment made me stop and think of how much even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.
Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.
Savvy
Take time
Take time to see beyond
To care and be considerate,
To be kind and compassionate,
To wonder and stay curious.
Take time to learn and explore,
To read and discover another,
To revere the precious now,
To stay grateful for every moment.
For life moves forward
As clocks tick relentlessly,
With no respite…
So choose to reclaim time.
Take time for, and with, the self.
To live lovingly than just exist.
Savvy
Who lifts you up?
Over the years
Living life teaches much.
Every person in your life
has an unique role to play.
Sometimes they are necessary for you
at times, you are necessary for them.
Life happens along the way,
leaving lessons fine.
Your emotional equation matters more than you think.
Choose to spend time with those who lift you up.
Those who bring cheer and smile to your face.
Choose your circle, its your right.
Choose wisely and you can be where you want to be…
You have one life.
Choose well…

Bridge on the river of time
On Awareness
Between what was understood and what we understand, and what we are yet to understand, is the bridge of awareness in time.
Our shifting perspectives are simply signs of changes as we continue to flow in the river of time.

The Plus Side.
Was reading an article today on how education today has become more and more transactional…and how it robs the learner of the critical thinking.
I share my musings…
When education is not a buisness
When learning is not about grades
When teaching is a passion than profession.
Where doubts, perspectives are welcomed
And not sidelined or ridiculed
When questions are not means to an end
Curiosity and wonder will find its purpose…
That I am fond of writing is nothing new after all these years of blogging and writing but as a child, I remember clearly when I was asked by a school teacher to read a famous poem and share its meaning in class I dared to share a new interpretation to it…that resonated with me.
The teacher then, was not open to a change of perspective… nor ready for a deep dive on why I saw it differently. She simply wanted to finish her work without deviation. I remember sitting down that day, without feedback.
But it didn’t stop me from wonder and writing…in fact I continued to write free verses in time till date.
I write this all, for I have shifted many schools in my childhood… as my father served in the Armed forces. I have seen upclose the good, bad and ugly side of schooling.
And the plus side is, it certainly has shaped me to be, adaptable and resilient as a person in time.
There is always the plus side…
What do you think ?

Making sense of it all…
Experience eats degrees for breakfast.
Technology tosses experience and degrees topsy turvy.
Al turns skills redundant and age immaterial.
Wisdom turns knowledge into learning.
For learning never stops.
Humility allows for growth…
Making sense of it all.
Truth of Oneness
You and I
May never meet,
But our thoughts
Interweave through words.
We may have unique names,
We may have different views,
Yet our journey is entwined
In the many paths home.
In every acknowledgment
Of this great truth
Of the interconnects
We align with ourselves.
Along our unique way,
The choice is ours
To find ourselves
In one another…
Living life lovingly.
Savvy
A note in gratitude for beautiful response in a comment on Interwoven from a dear reader, that sparked my third poem in this series on the very essence of Oneness.
My first poem Interwoven spoke of the universal source (nature, sun, ocean).
The second Endless Beginnings spoke of the internal journey (storms, dust settling).
With this third poem, Oneness, I choose to honor the bridge between people who may have never met face to face, yet are sensing moments of oneness simply entwined through words & mutual recognition.
Thank you for reading and responding with such heartfulness… Across time and distances whenever we pause to acknowledge these interconnections, we not only find ourselves, but also send forth a ripple in the oneness.
