‘Interconnects’ An Artwork by Savvy Raj
Circle of Thoughts 10
A vision a verse by Savvy Raj
Thoughts may seem powered by their own momentum
A concentrated effort of combining thoughts
Perhaps connecting these dots
Is not a random exercise after all.
Add belief add faith
add trust, some hope
The power to choose one thought over another
Is the intentional shift called a conscious choice.
Savvy Raj

About the Author:
Caged Birds
I stand here by my window looking outwards
In a house across the street are pairs of newly caged birds
Parrots , sparrows and some fancy exotic birds all in a single cage
I knew in that tiny contraption, they were filled with ultimate rage
Maybe their wings were cropped and space scarce
I have seen their movements change in due course
They’re a restless lot , their struggles relentless
But their desire to fly is boundless
To the owners, they are just beautiful pets
A sense of ownership , something to possess I guess
But to these birds, this is sheer hell
How in happiness would they possibly dwell?
Birds are natural dancers
And they are such graceful prancers
In fact everything alive is meant to move
To be nourished in frredom for it to grow
it was never meant to be still and stuck in tiny places
That is why God made this world so huge with expansive spaces
It was meant to fly free
It was meant to be.
It seeks fulfillment as it flies
Across the sky and watch the world go by
I hear their songs of sadness as they chirp everyday
They aren’t singing tunes of hope, life for them is bleak and grey
Its more a woeful cacophony than a melody
Perhaps as the time goes by, they will learn to live by
And accept their new surroundings
But alas what a waste of wings
If only they hear the plight of these hapless birds
And sense the sounds of silence, what a waste of life’s joy in flight
Cos their clipped wings can never flap in delight…
Whose loss is it anyway?
Is what the world might indifferently say
And perhaps justify as karmic cycle being repaid
Alas! Isn’t another vicious cycle being relaid?
Savvy Raj
Sharing these reflections written a year ago when I was living in the city of Mumbai where hearts are big but living spaces small like any other bustling city. I have moved on to a much greener city and today it is truly a blessing that my terrace opens out to a protected patch of forestland and I often find myself refreshingly awakened early morning, hearing the cheer of the chirping birds .
On a rainy day I can often find a peacock perched happily on the branch of the nearby trees. Seeing the joy in the flight of these birds and at times getting lucky to catch a sight of delightful murmuring of birds in the horizon definitely makes my evenings truly enthralling. Savvy
Wonder of You!
Wonder of You! A Visual Verse By Savvy Raj
Have you ever wondered about the divinity of the Creator?
In the blade of grass as much as the man.
The atoms arranged to efficiency
With a difference of the sheath but with a life essentially.
Designer Magnifique! Beyond knowledge beyond wisdom.
Source code of life itself … Creator who created you?
Dawn to dusk…Desire to deliverance
Attribution to Retribution
Beyond time… beyond Eternal
Tireless and Relentless,
Of Passion at play!
Simple and Sublime, patience so humbling.
Ultimate Designer and Creator of Souls
Root to Pinnacle
Salutes of Gratitude!
Bows in Reverence,
Of the ubiquitous omnipresence!!!

About the Author
A Waltz with Nature
Image Courtesy Google Search
An invitation to dance
with nature in all its glory…
Connect to its abundance
And reveal its many a untold story!
Embrace its enchanting greenery
Relate to its healing ways
Regale in the beauty of the scenery
Rejoice in every swing and sway…
In these blissful interconnects
Realising its infinite wealth
Acknowledging the pure energy that emnates
Through every conscious breath!
Savvy Raj
P.S The above picture speaks to me to treasure and respect the beauty of nature in all its glorious hues…
And in the crispness of morning and the warmth of sun kissed light
In a garden so charming a dancing heart takes flight…’Savvy

A Sense of it all!
I am because you are & we are because they are ...
Let us all care to value the strength of the interconnects in the interdependence.

Sense of Infinity
Image credits Google Search
I stand here amidst the stillness of trees,
Gazing up at the enchanting evening sky.
I watch the crimson sky fade into oblivion,
Hail the twinkling stars sparkling like diamonds in array,
Enshrouded in the misty cape of pink and blue sky.
Even as these autumn trees play their part
In bringing the vision closer home,
Captured in their silhouettes
Is magic in the sky
And the mystique of the forest
Amidst it all there is delight that dumbfounds.
Of awe and amazement and of wonder in the whimsical
But most of all is the connect to this now
In just sensing the beauty of this, one moment in infinity.
Savvy Raj
Simplicity Paradox
Are we actually simplifying complexities or complicating simplicity?
Simplicity dwells in complexity,
And complexity is just tangled simplicity
In the designer’s intelligence.
Both dance hand in hand.
The meaning we choose to perceive,
The connect we choose to establish,
The intention we choose to deduce,
At a point in time
Can make it irrefutably simple
Or irrefutably complex to understand.
The simple truth holds all the complex potential
In an untangled arrangement.
The very arrangement is fodder for imagination
For continuity in ingenuity.
In the momentum of thoughts,
The complex gives birth
To new pathways in the patterns,
Promoting in the propelling
A curiosity in exploration
Of simplifying the confounding complexities.
History is replete with stories
Of complicating the simple truth
Of the being… in the boggling for answers
In refuting and relegating
Our beautiful ball of blue.
This Circle of nature was assumed
Once as square in shifting perspectives.
Meaning perceived in perspective dimensions,
Unfolding with the understanding of that era,
Moving on in time to deconstruct the construction
Of breaking down codes of assumption,
Of restructuring in the resurrection,
Of recognition and the refuting
To understanding the circles of yin and yang,
The dance of polarity,
The duality of nature,
Death and birth
As part of the circle of oneness
Of life and living.
The simple resides in the complex.
The complex is just simple turned upside down.
Perhaps as the humankind increased in numbers,
The simple was too profound
To answer the multitude of mulling thoughts.
In different directions
Due to the innate nature of man
To wonder in awe
And thus, the simple no longer seemed simple.
To solve the emerging enigmas,
Delving into the simple,
Intelligent design was questioned
In scientific temperament,
In philosophical propositions,
Until creativity created connections
And new expressions in the exploration
To deduce, deduct and denote
Infinite patterns of potential,
Making sense of uniqueness in the self-similarity
As the irrefutable simplicity of it all.
In the search for answers
To simplify the complex
Or to complicate the simple,
Many paths present themselves.
Every path is infinite in possibilities.
The question is are we ready to walk the path,
And what we evolve into while walking the path of choice.
In search of simple truths, we encounter the magnitude of complexities underlying simplicity. Simplicity elegantly serves itself, but the paradox of simplicity is in the complexities of finding meaning and accepting such simplicity as the ultimate truth of being.

Every time I dance
I glanced at these words in the post I chanced upon this morning. I sensed that peculiar feeling of passion for dancing stirring within me. It has been a while since I conducted my last workshop and a few days since I last danced. Yet…every sentence meant a lot to me and I know if you share a passion or simply love to dance, you would perhaps resonate with these thoughts as well. So here goes…
I don’t just dance…I perform
Witnessing the world as my stage
I dance my part in this game of life…
I breathe
Witness to the dance of my breath
In every breath inhaled, a gratitude of the receiving.
In every aware moment of pauses between the inhale and exhale
Invoking the divinity in the connectedness
Between the silence of sounds and soundlessness.
Every gesture a conscious acknowledgement of this dance of the breath.
The gaps in the journey as pauses in the silence know its purpose of being.
Spaced out in rhythm divine all a part to greater awakenings in every moment of time.
I watch the world disappear
To sense the world fleeting by, just care to waltz
To embrace the souls longing to move and flow along in graceful time… just dance…
To sense the subtlety of change in every dance of your breath.
To dance is to witness the ebb and flow of the tides of life and pass it on.
To dance is to feel fulfilment and contentment in nothingness all in one breath.
To dance is to enjoy the being as much as accept its fleeting nature.
I release my feelings
Feelings come and go and change is the only constant.
In the strength of release of feelings exists the freedom to transcend beyond and acknowledge the life in our being.
To release the feelings and not succumb to it is an art of living well.
To unlock the self from the prison of thoughts.
To be not a slave to feelings but learn to master it, to let it flow its course naturally.
I lead with my heart
Dancing from the heart,
Being grateful for the conscious awareness of the divinity of motion.
To move from the heart in all that one endeavours.
Breathing in the intention of the eternal awareness
towards collective consciousness of oneness is what leading and sensing grace is all about.
I tear down my walls …
Dance has taught me to liberate myself from the confines of limited existence.
From learning to move in space through the art of dance
In releasing and revelling, while sensing the freedom of space within and around me.
I stop feeling sad
Yes indeed! Although I personally make it a point to balance my emotions before conducting any workshop or working on dance in any way, be it writing about it or sharing my skills or dancing any form… yet there have been circumstances beyond which have been helped by simply dancing it out.
I lose the pain
The happy hormones released in the body has a lot to do to manage the release of pain and by changing our body’s perception and response to all kinds of existing pain.
To dance is to acknowledge the letting go…
Of pain and allow joy in great measures. Often a dull headache nagging back pain or even a tightness in the body improves and disappears after dance class and we are left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
I let go I smile
I remember instances of students coming into the dance class forgetting a smile and walking out wearing it so beautifully.
Guess to smile from the heart one needs to just dance and let go.😊
I don’t just dance I do so much more …
Indeed!
Whatever I choose to do, the way of dance is pure bliss of a bless in my path guiding and shining the light for me.
I hope to always choose to dance with life with all of me, grateful for its gifted presence in every moment of now.

The Journey: Life & Living
Consciousness Connects
Silence Speaks Heart listens Soul shines Spirit evolves….
Consciousness connects
Mind activates
Thoughts begin
Confusion erupts
Chaos reigns
Noise torments
Disorder disturbs
Movement stills
Sound muffles
Silence speaks
Heart listens
Soul shines
Spirit evolves …
Silence speaks when the heart listens . As awareness builds and spirit regenerates the being moves to another cycle of progression in eternal time. Savvy Raj

Musings on the man who taught me not only to dance to life but also everything above by being all this and more, by practising rather than preaching.
A very’ Happy Fathers Day to Dad’ and in celebration of the ‘Spirit of Fatherhood’ to all the wonderful ‘Fathers’ across the world.
