“Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.” Dag Hammarskjold
Swedish Political Leader, Secretary General Of The United Nations
These above words may spell success or be a recipe for disaster depending on the ability to keep the focus on that which you see!
The acceptance of the manifold possibilities of seeing beyond looking could be the very reason for expansive outreach of potential in world affairs and resolutions whether it is a matter of peace or war. Having said so, solutions are in the emergence of a stream of consciousness in awareness of a meeting point in the melting pot from convergence to transcendence. An approach that is inclusive in temperament and expansive in the envisioning.
Truth be told , we have travelled on far in time and space and as we stand today, the realisation of the infinity of consciousness beyond the horizons is well set already. It is just a matter of probability on where our sights are, as we envision our path beyond and how it resonates in our awareness as it takes flight.
Speaking of flight unto beyond there is much going on before from take off between the spreading of wings and the flapping in flight. Would a bird be able to fly if its sight is fixated on the ground. Would the ship be able to sail of to distant lands and explore if it keeps itself safe harboured along the shores…. Its no wonder indeed that to fly and explore the unknown you must first be ready to let go of the ground beneath your feet.
In the same breath the awareness of when to take the flight and where and how to land back and find the balance on the high ground is a task of a lifetime to master.
So between the focussed planner of details and the far sighted idealist visionary…there are many paths to envision, where do you see yourself ?
Who are you? Are you more of the visionary kind?
Or are you the more cautious realist who weighs your options before every step?
And it is often necessary as each cannot do without the other. We are all living an interdependent life after all.
‘Thank you ”
A thank you means a lot …
A recognition of your action
An appreciation of your effort
An acknowledgement of humanity
An assurance of a job well done
A gratitude of attitude in the being
A sense of value of anothers deed
A strength of goodwill in our life.
An expression of politeness
In the acceptance or refusal
Of the offer in question….
So today I take this opportunity to first of all thank my readers and friends who have supported me in my journey of writing and continue to do so … I do believe our strength is rooted in these interconnects built and envisioned in wordshares. In fact many a times even though we may have never met we literally can trust ourselves in reading the person like a book… such is the power of a heartfelt share💙
And secondly like I always say writing is a pleasure and reading is a joy I want to thank my fellow writers for their wonderful blogs, amazing contributions and inspiring shares.
So very thankful for this journey of ours as writers… A never ending road in creativity.
Philosophy speaks from the core of consciousness of life, with a penchant for understanding the wisdom of being. And natural science was simply born of a philosophy that speaks of predictions and evidence. Of reasons and proofs. But science is limited as scientific reasoning cannot justify all the knowing in the sensing, and in the intuitivity.
One is a a matter of sensing and knowing Another a matter of proof of the existing.
I believe there is much to draw and understand for both from each other as both are integral to opening the doors of awareness in receptivity with respect in the strength of their interconnects.
A kind thought, a kind word a kind deed changes the energy equation of matter across dimensions.
Sharing kindness is integral to replenishing life and living… Start with one kind expression to the next person you meet and let the ripple begin from you…
Beyond passion is a light,
Of love and dedication.
Make that light lead the way,
Move beyond the pursuit of passion.
As passion can be blinding,
Create rifts and indifference.
Arise from love and light,
Allow yourself to be lead in love.
In each tomorrow care to lovingly envision Let yourself commune with light, give a way
As unlike the shades of passion
Glory of light will never lead you astray !

‘Your purpose is ordained and your passion is entwined with the light of your being . Moving beyond passion reveals the impassioned strength of the soulfulness.
In my painting above titled ‘Emergence’ I use red to depict the colour of passion at play and the blue streaks as a balance factor interspersed with the greys depicting ( the rifts and strifes) the shades and tones of colours in our life , taking us through the crossroads in our journey of discovering the self. The purpose of being I choose to depict the white background as‘Light,’ which is after all the’ Eternal truth of the Being’.
Felt I must leave this painting a little raw as all the answers we seek , ‘is was and will be ‘with us if we choose to see beyond the tinted glasses and acknowledge the glorious light that we actually are.
As inspite of the disarray and chaos that it portrays, if we choose to see beyond the games of passion …
There is always a lurking grief in the lack of love.
3 simple word could make a difference
3 simple could assure another
3 simple words could bring hope in despair
3 simple words could change a life
This world is busy, with no time to spare
People living nonchalantly without a care
I me and myself seems here to stay.
Unless we find in our hearts to live in a more caring way.
ARE YOU OK ? Care to ask another
Strive to thrive with one another
And you will hear the truth by far
There is no use rushing on,we are all on par.
Savvy Raj
The title of this poem is inspired by Lance Scoular’s very relevant post that speaks for Suicide Prevention and the thoughts seeded from the very reflective post recently by Fatima Williams instilling self worth in times of lost esteems lost hopes and lost battles.
A topic many refuse to confront as it is too sensitive to deal with. But its prevelance and increasing numbers only show the need for empathy consciousness in today’s world.
A little sensitivity and empathy can go along way in prevention of widespread negligence by society on such issues.
A few musings…
Even writers and artists of all fields are categorized as hard nosed focused and practical business driven… hence successful or the rest who are supposedly impractical, quirky, emotional by nature or sensitive by nature with empathy consciousness hence not too touted for success in the mainstream.
This categorisation happens amongst all walks of life . Amongst many so called professionals in every sphere there is this distinct elevated difference that seems like they have it all figured. But reality often presents a different picture.
We often we find that the pinnacle of success is a perfect place for a downfall. No one is taught the way down after a climb. In a society that values only the successful, that often teaches to work one’s way to the top by overt competition, ambition and promotes the need to prove, sadly there is one to catch you when you fall or no one to hold your hand if you slip and definetely no learnings in place for support and follow up care in case of a miss. You are left to fend for yourself until u can find a place for yourself under the sun.
Although the world is on one side recognising multiple intelligences yet the assumption still remains that all can work with the same rules of the game .
It is what is unique in you that truly matters. Keep knowing you matter as you are.
Savvy
The world is busy all the time, to realise the significance of contribution by these so called sensitive and caring people who can find in themselves the time to ask another… Are you ok?
