On Forgiveness

On Forgiveness

An action that builds bridges

Creates connections

Erases errors

And heals hearts.

©Savvy Raj

And I love this inspiration that I came across in my readings today…

Because forgiveness is like this:

A room can be dark because you have closed the windows, you’ve closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart. Desmond Tutu

What are your thoughts on this?

Choose well

Choose well
You are way better, way more,
Than what you think & understand of you.
There is much that only you can choose to do.
Choose to live your life lovingly!
Choose to be purposeful!
Choose empathy than criticism.
Choose self respect and freedom to be.

The faster you understand yourself And accept being who you truly are,
And choose to better yourself to be the best version of yourself…
The closer you are to being truly happy!

Why I write…

I write when I am charged with an idea an inspiration. Or perhaps when there is nothing else to do.

I write to balance my emotions whenever it needs equilibrium.

I write to flow with the moment with a thought that aligns, as it calls on me and as I write, at times emerges into a pattern, in prose or verse.

I write to understand better when thoughts overpower…overstimulate the mind.

I write to let go and send out all that comes to my mind which I feel and hope can make a positive difference, somewhere to someone reading me.

I write at times in deliberation too to process and synthesise new understandings.

I write to unshackle from the many convictions I may unknowingly hold. As I write they break loose from restrictive spaces and help to align my thoughts in the sifting.

I write to express the bounties of life that I’m blessed to enjoy in gratitude.

I write to sense the bliss of being… with all of me in the moment.

I write to express myself my way.

What makes you write?

Eloquence of words

When words propose in a flow
That is persuading and all pervading
No matter the rhyme or form
It becomes poetry
Creating a zen like feeling
That makes you want to be
In that state of awareness
Inspite of knowing
Everything moves on…

Have you ever been enticed by the eloquence of words?

Personally I have many favorites

But these profound words by Gibran deeply impacted me…
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

Infact all the lines that follow are equally poignant as well as profound.

So much wisdom in those words for life and living.

Which is your favorite piece of poetry?
Do your remember those verses vividly ?

Do share. Would love to read!

Balmy weather

It’s balmy weather
It’s early morning
The sun is moving
In and out of the trees
Traveling with me
As I am walking…
The chirping birds
Awakening the world
With hope fulness
The wind is resting
Perhaps still to awaken
The clouds are clearing
Heralding the light
In the mighty tree
A few yards from me
I see a beautiful vision… Cont’d

What is it that I see?

Would you like to continue from here…?

Light of Change

Change & Creativity

Evolution happens in the changes that are a precussor to transformation.

As humans much of our creativity is often boxed in association of concepts and experiences and their correlation.

A conscious unshackling of patterns of thought brings forth new and different ways of seeing & thinking. Every now and then take a pause, acknowledge the diverse new associations for it breeds creativity.

A deliberate action that reaches out far and wide to step out of conventional thought patterns is never easy especially as humans like to feel safe and secure in comfort of knowing of a stability and at ease at rest.

Change can be unsettling and startling for most to accept, to digest & acclamatize in the new shifts.And yet to create new spaces for light is to step up in the gamut of creativity there need to be, a dare into the unknown that explores dimensions beyond.

Wisdom of the flow

In difficult moments
Think of life
As ocean waves
Waltzing with the tides
Highs and lows
Are both part of the flow
Think of yourself
Realize you are
Not just in the flow
You are the flow!.

Cultivate Happiness

If only happiness can be summed up…

How easy it would seem!

But happiness can be elusive

When summoned it is often fleeting

But being able to take stock of your being

Will keep you aware

Of how much happiness is an inside job…

A Great Idea

In thinking through
No idea is too small
Or no idea too big

Many small sparks
Come together
To ignite a great idea
In effort & execution
The ideas find a foothold
And steers on to success

An idea is as good
As the executors
As much as the values
And purpose behind it.
So that it sustains
As without follow ups
No idea evolves itself.

To claim anothers idea
As ones own.
To belittle anothers ideas
Is a mark of insecurity
And fear of losing out

Different intelligences
And respect for diversity
Grows ideas by leaps & bounds

What every founder
Must remember
Beyond funding
Nurturing the idea
Takes many minds
And many hearts

Treat people well
Stay humble & polite
And allow space
To communicate
And collaborate
And find transperency
Will work it’s magic.

Go confidently
Play on your ideas
Until the ideas
Strike the chord in you
Trust your path
Oblivious of naysayers

There are always
Going to be
Opposers to the plan
Think of them
As a free perspectives
To sift through
And fine tune ideas.

Keep seeding and nurturing positive inspiration.

What is art called in your language?

Painting by Savvy Raj

This is one of my favorite pieces from my paintings

I like a few things specifically besides the colours…

The flow

The fluidity

And the feel

I feel movements in a flow in the fluidity

I sense harmony in the synchrony

I sense the synergy of colours in the flow

I enjoyed painting this piece in one go.

I connect with this art deeply

Art is something that speaks from your soul.

In my native language ‘Art ‘is called ‘Kalai”

Would love to know what art is called in your native language?

Just Be You

When all of life
Lead to points of becoming
Someone, somewhere
Perhaps it’s time
To Just be…


And you will begin
To unbecome
Allowing space
For your soul
To be
All that you truly are!

Somewhere somehow

In moments of loneliness

The tango of the mind & heart

May seem to overwhelm.

Choose to shift the narrative

Understand you can be alone

Without feeling lonely

Blame not your luck or fate

Find connects with your own self

Draw out the beauty of you.

Acknowledge your feelings

Allow your emotions to express

Draw your patterns of possibilities

Doodle, dance, sing or play

To express and let go.

The spirit of the soul revives.

Care to relish the moments

Of connects that you sense.

Remember you matter to you

Stop being hard on yourself

Start to discover your potential

Choose to know yourself

All of you body mind & spirit

Seek to sense the freedom to be

All that you want.

Do that which feels you

With or without company

Choose to carve your life

Choose to be in spaces

That makes you happy

Find ways to connect

Volunteer your time

For a cause that resonates

Sooner than later

You will find

Your kind of vibe

Somewhere somehow.

How to find true freedom?

Freeing the body
Is to move without fear
Freeing the mind
Is to move beyond doubts
Freeing the heart
Is to hope beyond despair
Freeing the spirit
Is to sense the light in every now
Freeing the soul
Is to align to the purpose of being.
To find the flow
To free up space within
Is to let go resentment
Of trials and errors
Of judgements and assumptions
Freeing your breath
Is to sense life dance
In this now.

Sensing peace

Imagining peace
Soothing the spirit
Calming the senses
A river of joy flows through
In the sweet sounds of music
Memories of many melodious moments
Fleeting by in the harmony of the flow…
