Much of what I describe here, I felt while I was there, as if I had been there, and I deeply sensed it all in that journey.
Journey on… 🙏
Art of creativity emanates from self belief in the creative capabilities within.
Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt.
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.
To allow the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of creative capabilities.
Savvy
Life is born
Thoughts arise
Creativity spurts
Dreams envisioned
Passions pursued
In hope of dawn.
Yet night falls
Beween the dawns
Some dreams shatter
In the darkness unknown
While some see
The light of day!
And Life is bettered
Such is the circle of life
Flowing in a rhythm
Of its own making!
Every Life chalks it’s path in time
Arrives its meaning for itself
The journey is unparalleled
And uniquely carved.
Such is the very nature of life
And at every moment
One can’t help
But wonder…
Such is the wonder of life!

There is a profound Croatian saying
by Tea Obrecht –
“Is your heart a sponge or a fist?”
What is your first thought on this?
The human heart is continually operating as a muscular pump, contracting on average 80 times per minute to propel 9 tons of blood through body tissues each day.
Heart is a resilient organ
It keeps on beating through life.
In a lifetime it acts like a sponge
Yet it squeezes itself in every beat
Cleansing to regenerate itself.
Heart is resilient as a fist
Yet open to receive & share love
Heart is intelligent in its intuition
Courageous and compassionate
Caring loving and humane
For after all humanity is heart centric.
Savvy
Silence is the language of the mind in introspection.
It is the language of self analyzation .
It gives one time for self improvement.
The pauses in between can change the course of the situation.
It has many meanings.
Silence is so powerful
When the mind becomes still
Learning to silence even this silent language
Then it fills the soul
With bliss n harmony.
It becomes
A celebration of Silence.
Every path is unique to itself
Every journey creates it’s own pathways
Each phase and stage of life
Enveloping in itself creating patterns and yet,
Embedded and enmeshed
Are the journey lines in the flow..

As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
The fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.
The fire within, I nurture
In passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.
Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring, I choose to fly
I wonder awed by infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.
I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature
A garden of life,
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.
Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, the awaiting purpose of life.
With my Spirit afire in my beating heart.
Savvy
Countless spheres of infinity
Rotating revolving in their preordained path.
The hows and whys still remaining a mystery
Curious minds continue to decipher
The pieces of mystery from eons unknown
Solved n unsolved puzzles of Nature.
From the stark to the subtle
From everything to nothing or
The other way round
The search is on…
In this journey on.

Surfers attitude to life…
Imagine that you see a wave coming towards you
What is your first thought in your mind?
Do you see ocean waves as something you will drown in?
Or can you think like surfers do?
And think of riding the waves
For they know there is another one coming along…
Life manifests the way you chose to see it.
Savvy

We all have the power and potential to create change.
Have we recognised our potential within by nature or nurture and assimilated our inner strengths to manifest our deepest intentions?

There is great power in your own potential…

And grateful in soulful awareness
That the Universe in and around
Is taking care of everything else 🙏

Happened to read a profound quote share of Lao Tzu, from
The Tao Teh Ching by my wonderful blogger friend Eddie Two Hawks here https://wp.me/p16fFF-6Ic
Here is my contemplation based on the quote
Close the doors..
Of the chaos of thoughts
Of unnecessary judgements
in the making
Close the doors…
Consciously in the noticing
In mindfulness than mindlessness &
overthinking.
This is the truth of meditation
In all its simplicity
And in all its profoundness.

Take that well deserved break
There is really nothing at stake
Take a moment to just pause and not lead
To breathe in ease ,and not rush without heed
Have a seat … relax and chill
Watch the world go by savouring this moment now at your will
You rushed enough, to more than keep up with time
Time is eternal … is wisdom sublime
Sense the moment that is the Now.
Future will be fine ,every moment just care to love
It as it is, knowing that it is this present
That matters in this very moment …:))

To the truly determined
Opportunity unfolds
In the sustained effort.
To learn anything new
Needs dedicated determination
To understand beyond exploring.
In the will and perseverance
Arrives the point of knowing
And learning continues…
For the truly determined
Nothing can stop the learning.
