Spirit of Life

Truth is free

Mind controls.

Life is free to be

Living contains

And the spirit

Frees the soul.

Truth of Oneness

Truth Is Timeless
Truth Is Mindless
Truth Is Oneness

– Savvy

Listen

Truth of Oneness

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.

Its all connected

The sun and moon

We see from afar

Have much to do with us

Influencing our way of life

Our nature and deeds 

Our dreams and destiny

Even the stars in the sky

In that moment we were born.

Time is a circle

And its truly wonderful to know

It’s all deeply connected.

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.

Savvy

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.

Heart speaks …

I enjoy simplifying  complexity

For I do believe simplicity  

Is just complexity  turned upside down

And perhaps knotted and twisted at times.

All it needs is an untangling.

In thoughts words and deeds.

While the mind may  play games

Simply speaking  from the heart

Seeing with the heart

Feeling the sensations that emnate from the heart

Will  release the unnecessary knots

And create a path of clarity.

Strength of tenderness

Being tender in the toughest of times

Being gentle and generous with the self

In times of chaos and conflicts

In and around us

Is the way of weathering-the-storms.

Being caring and compassionate

In thoughts words and deeds.

With empathy that empowers

In light and goodwill.

Is the way of gentle heart

Flowing in loving kindness.

Flowing with life lovingly

Everything is in this now

Who am I in this now,

Matters more than ever before

For tomorow that is yet to arrive.

Instead of mulling over

Uncertainties of life

Disappointments & falls

Rise in this moment.

Ask the self

Who am I in this now?

Whatever and however this moment presents…

Am I able to look at what is?

Meet it with composure?

What are my kind of choices ?

Am I reacting or responding  

In this now of my life?

Perhaps in this vulnerable space

With the truths of my being,

I sense myself growing

From and out of every  experience.

That teaches me to listen

Allowing me to flow with life

Making sense, along the way.

Knowing in my heart

That I am not a stagnant pond

Nor a stone refusing to roll.

For rolling stones gather no moss

I flow with lightness

Living life lovingly.

A night to remember…

Vision & verses by Savvy Raj

A moonlit night
The beach glows bright
Silvery waves, sugary white

As the last of the seagulls take flight
Evening dusk shadows the skylight.

To behold, what a sight

To remember, what a night.

Balancing the breath



Serendipitous dawn
Across emerald waters
Spiraling sun shines
Balancing my breath
On soft sandy shores
Ocean mist fills my senses.

P.S :

The Vision & verse…

A bit on writing this poem.

I choose an open structure  with just a light punctuation such that the lines flow into one another and can be interpreted creatively.  I recognize it is a natural way for me to write.

I remembered a day where simply walking on such a  peaceful eastern shore, I felt the shifting energy bring balance in my being. There was just me the sky  and the ocean, today I have tried to envision that lived moment, that presence I felt in the white sands and whiffs of ocean mist in just these six lines of verse.

Apricity

April has come and gone

August too has passed on

Changing months

Changing seasons

Although pleasant and cool.

There is a nip in the air

Winter is soon approaching

Just around the bend.

Across the horizon

I look up at the morning sun

Awakening my senses warmly

In the alchemy of apricity.

This poem flows along in my simple joy of using this rarely used word. APRICITY…the warmth of a winters sun.

Hoping for apricity

Of feeling the warm sun

On a cold winters day…

The lady on the tree

I wrote this poem below years ago. I had no idea about  who Julia Hill was back then. And today I was reminded of  my poem, when I came across her story. She is an  American Activist who saved Luna the redwood tree by living in it to prevent loggers from cutting off the tree and […]

Serenading my senses…

It’s early evening

The sunlight is still filtering in

I sit back, after a walk.

It feels like a balmy dusk

Watching dappled rain drops

Falling on verdant leaves 🍃

Petrichor fills the air

Rising from the earth

Sensing the glimmers of this now.

Serenading my senses, in serendipity…

Trust that

Sometimes when you are lost

Know time is working its ways

Between these moments

Too sensitive to a fault

Or too numb to be hurt.

When life is a like a storm

And you feel lost in a maze

You still find your way out

To the now, as you read this,

Trust time to deliver ways

Trust that…

Where does this moment take you?

If you could turn the key to a door  that opens up to a place  somewhere right now…

Where does your imagination  take you?

Near mountains

Near water sources

Green spaces

Or spiritual spaces

Or somewhere where your  heart is calling out?

What is your favourite kind of place?

Or is your desire to stay 

Wherever you are,

Stronger than anything else?

Sometimes in the middle of movements there is a desire for stillness

In the middle of hectic days…

For the quietness of calm.

And sometimes amidst silence

There is much going on…

The mind is steering the wheel

Both movement  and stillness

Are part of the journey.

And the desire to drive on

Explore discover the world

And what it has to offer

Is something that happens

To evolve every life.

A learning mind

A true learners mind never ages

For  they have the curiosity of a child

A blank slate where learning  can be added

An earnestness in exploration

A trustful disposition

An open mind that allows  expansion…

And most of all a readiness to learn 

To imbibe knowledge and update the self.

When the mind is ready

The understanding happens
