A whimsical world

A painting by Savvy

A fantastical experience

A whimsical world

Makes for a great safespace

From the rigors of existence

Yet its not an escape

More, a choice of the moment

To be whimsical, unexpectedly so.

Where imagination is your ally

Spirited with a a little levity.

Emboldened by quirkiness

The ordinary seems extraordinary.

A spring in the step

A song on your lips

Lightness of spirit

Shines out your soul.

That little extra

A little more in compassion

A little more gentleness

A little more in consideration

A little more consciousness

A little  more awareness

A little more connection

A little more conversation

A little more communication

A little more alignment

A little more in care

All it takes is a little more

To make a meaningful difference.

That little extra effort

In time &  space 

Turns ordinary to extraordinary.

Every me

Compassion towards the self is a critically necessary part of self acceptance and acknowledgement through self-expression, channeling and releasing emotions constructively.

A note in gratitude to the self.

Every me that lived and loved
Every me that lost and gained
Every me that helped & healed
Every me that fumbled & failed
Every me that connected & cared
Every me that was tried & tested
Every me that trusted & trained
Every me that learned & learns
Every me in every movement
Every me of my past to present
I love with all my heart
In compassion & kindness.
I am grateful to all of me
Of the past present & future
being all that was,is, and will be.

On Movements

Move from instinct

Move through space

Meet it with grace

Turn inward

Hear the truths echo

In peaceful silence

Forgive in gratefulness

Sense your expression

Tĺhink calmly

Being more available

To your own self

Process your emotions

Clearing residues left in time .

To respond than react

In life & living.

A ladder

A ladder is a link

A point of interconnections

A bridge between two sides

Between two opposites.

A ladder is not always to climb

A ladder leads you to connect

But the choice is yours

If you want to lead or be led by it.

Climb the ladder with confidence

Continue to bridge over challenges

Meet the changes with integrity

Dare the new horizons in hope.

As the seasons change

Stillness comes from movement

Movements birth in stillness.

Silence is pregnant with sound

Sound leaves silence space less.

Fear scares the living daylights out.
But the day overcomes the darkest night.

Tears drown in the smiles
As laughter dries the tears.

Joy fills the heart with happiness
Relieving the hollow of sorrow.

And just like the seasons
Every season has a reason to be

For life is all about change.
And change is the only constant.

Form & the Formless

Art by Savvy Raj

Is the form you see
Exactly the form I see
Perhaps they differ
In the way we choose to interpret.

Is form the mark of reality
Does being formless makes it unreal
Is form the contention
To know the real and unreal.

Forms are shaped by intentions
In dedication & deliberation.
For forms become fleeting memories
Perishing in the sands of time.

While the formless evolves in the heart
Holding up to unfathomable faith
They may live on in the silent knowing
Of unspoken trust in the being.

Discernment of the forms
In the inner recesses of the heart and the mind
Waltzes the consciousness of the being
In States of knowing ,of the truth of light

A light of wisdom
That takes many forms
Million times over
To show the path of truth.

The path is lit
As the steps are taken
The forms manifest in the interactions
Of vibrations in resonance.

Between these Illuminating illusions
Of the form and formless
What is real and unreal
All are just reflections in the dimensions.

In the beam of even one moment of truth
Is the convergence of envisioning
Forms and formless become one
Conveying the message safely home.

Healing heart to heart

There is a dog somewhere nearby
That is barking every once in a while
It is not the usual bark and not a yelp either
But I feel it’s something not ok
Perhaps it is loneliness
A yearning for a companion
Or a little comfort & care.
My heart aches to hear it every day
And wants to help.
But try as I might
Yet, I am unable to find the dog.
Till then ,
I hold my hand on my heart
If it is a pain of some kind
I pray that the pain goes away …
I send a healing light
To shift the energy & ease the dog.

The Mountain Beckons…

Across this desert of life
There is a mountain that beckons you.
That emits calm.
It invites you into its fold
Although the path is treacherous and tricky
You will lead yourself to it 
For in its wake,  the light of soul blooms
Your spirit awakens
And your body regenerates.
As you reach its pinnacle
You look onwards and upwards
You see the light of a thousand stars
Shining on you, their cosmic lights

There is nothingness
And yet everything-ness.
A feeling of calm and composure
Envelopes you in its presence
That soothes your soul.
The air filled with an ambient  pure fragrance
Of the mystical flowers  as you sense it in resonance.
Healing you
And empowering you,

With the strength of stability in its sureness.

Map in my veins

The map in my veins

Lead to those unknown paths

Across the world

To places and spaces

I was  meant to go

To connect with those

I was to meet

Its all ordained  I can tell

Now as I look back

Each relevant to whole

Emerging & merging

In this story of life

The pen with words I weild now

Yields through as witness 

To learnings  and experiences

Leaving an imprint

In the footprints of time.

Lanterns in the fog

Photo by Rakicevic Nenad on Pexels.com

As the fog gets intensive 

And the mood pensive

Visibility dips to nothingness

All you feel is aloneness

At that point of break

When doubts creep in wake

You hear footsteps near

An assurance beyond fear

Seeing lanterns in the fog, aglow

You sense hope in the flow.

Being human

Our  own struggles seem the most difficult. Our journey of life may seem unique to us.And yet if we bring to awareness  that this imagined spectrum of universe is a dot in the multitude of multiverses yet unknown, we realise our so called egoes are but a tool for motivating our life to keep us exploring the possibilities in our lifetime. 

But instead of seeing the bigger picture we see ourselves as mammoth beings & as if only our life and our journey is important. 

How far away from the truth we are?

If we only keep seeing our circle  of life is but a spec in the cosmic  ocean we will realize our truths as  humans and learn to be in touch with our humanity.

Smiles from the heart

Being a happy person

I have tided over

The challenges with a smile

Grateful for the dance in my life

I draw energy from movements

As they appear to move me

I unwind and unfurl

My hearts deepest feelings

In the flow of the moves

I sense the beauty of this now.

And I smile from the heart.

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

Seeding Wisdom

The seed bears wisdom untold

From humble beginnings

Emerges immense possibilities

What seems a non starter

Can be a gamechanger.

And yet…

Growth has many phases

In the course of its life

Through the ups & downs

The chaos gives way to clarity

From the immature to maturity

The tree stands tall

Embracing the changes .

The seed to a tree

Teaches the wisdom of patience,

As it bears fruits in time.
