Today and every day, in just this moment …

Let me start the day by counting my blessings instead of time

Let me remember to send out at least one small gesture of kindness

Let me remember to express my appreciation of someone’s skill

Let me respect the power within to envision a larger good

Let me seek thoughts that bring peace and contentment

Let me love with hope and trust the knowing

Let me give a hand in lifting another up

Let me remember to truly give a listening to an elder in my life

Let me realize the joy of sharing positivity around me with my words

Let me stretch my thoughts to being accepting of another’s vision

Let me sense the beauty of this world I live in and around me

Let me be grateful to the knowledge I have and will receive

Let me acknowledge with humility the supreme that manifests creatively

Let me revel in the wonder of innocence and bow in reverence of divine energy

Let me see the divine in you enough to fathom because You are… I am!

Let me remember to end the day by counting my blessings instead of sheep:)

Magnificent Sun!

Watch the heavenly dance
the rhythmic connects ….
of the twirling clouds, in the swirling sky
and the opal blue oceans whirling waves .
A sight to behold !

Across the horizon
the two shall merge
as one, moving in the flow
of a divine connection
in a dance of the heaven and the earth ….:)

Savvy

Majestic tall trees lined with wisdom untold
A winding woody path so green
emerges in between …

It beckons you onto a journey to the unknown
Yet with the radiant light of the sun leading you on
You know for sure you will never lose your way
Basking in the beautiful morning sun’s ray ….

Walk the path … befriend nature and dare
To accept the experiences, it’s ready to share
Live this moment, do not leave it for another day
awaiting when the sun shall shine this glorious way …

Cos Life is so much like this unknown path my friend
Make the journey as the sun shines around the bend
Trust yourself to be all you can be
And perhaps, its awaiting you … that which you wish to see.

The wisdom in the Synergy of Energy

The clear azure and turquoise sea gives this moment a sense of calm

to blend in with the beautiful view and transform.

The sand on the beach implores you to walk slow ….

to watch the wave as the cool winds blow.

To move with care, sensing the strength at bay

To see the precious gifts nature has strewn across your way…

In the sheer vastness of the sea , there is an expansive feeling

freeing us from thoughts that are limiting…

In its magnitude of balance is the value of equanimity,

in its raging fervour is a lesson to never underestimate its conformity

As in its very languor of liquidity

is the strength of solidity.

The Sea stays in place knowing to play the game of tides well.

Yielding to the crests , flexing in the troughs and delve

Into its mysterious depths to bring forth natures bounties from within.

Sea shares with every wave a new hope to begin.

Just as the sand shifts its patterns with every wave from the sea

life too bestows an opportunity in every change we see

Going beyond its complacent cool blue exterior… let us value the giving

and care enough to sustain its every drop knowing , in it is a universe that is thriving …

As the sea reflects the sky above there is a lesson in clarity and humility

That conformity and acceptance is not a weakness, but the amazing grace of Almighty …

Watch the horizon expand there is so much to know and do

The choice is in your hand ….

To dream lazing along the shores

To dance and surf a midst the waves or …

To dare to dive right in with the trust of a wisdom untold ….:)

The Learning in the Grounding

Standing majestically tall rooted to the ground are the lofty mountains…

Climbing uphill is a task no doubt, as it beckons to ascend

It tempts with arresting views from its mysterious mount

Albeit with many harsh crags , spiky edges the and ablating glaciers to surmount

The tenacious spirit of the mountain imparts lessons for a lifetime

In the journey is gleaned wisdom sublime…

What one sees from the top of the mountain is different from way down the valley .

A different perspective every view does carry

That in every different point of viewing

there shines a light on a different way of learning …

A way to live!

The Sky the Sea and the earth are always a reminder

to live every moment in awe and wonder

Life is precious and beautiful … allow it to hold you in its sway

to smell the flowers along the way !

Care enough

To accept the crest and the troughs ….

Live and let live, learning from the sky and the sand and the sea in harmony

Appreciating with gratitude the synergy in their trilogy 🙂

Savvy Raj

We are all truly one under the sun…

There is a kind of hush …..

up in the mystical mountains nestled in the green lush ..

A Fairy tale like feeling in this enticing place somewhere ….

An idyllic haven of blues and greens in the middle of nowhere

Speaks softly to that place in the heart that I treasure

It is abound with bliss and bounties of nature

Crystal clear waters reflecting the canopy of green

The falling leaves witness to this mystical scene

Glowing in the gilded light from above

Could only come from a place of true love

enveloped in a kind of magic that fills the air

Captivating and conjuring, beauty beyond compare

A view like this and I just had to share…

Savvy Raj

Stillness reflects …the vividity of the moment
Silence reflects …the value of sound !

In reflection is a connection underlying

With the reflected and the reflecting …

So similar yet distinctive in the difference they imply …
All under the same infinite sky ….!

Savvy

In that center of placid calm stands an angel of hope and resilience

She has birds of hope surrounding her haloed presence….

Be like the lady on the tree

In the stillness of the water..sensing your spirit feel so free

Climb the tree in the serenity of the calm and unwind

Bring composure to the cursory mind

Move away from the mundane

And feel more humane.

See the birds dancing by your side

singing their sweet song of hope that will always reside !

Tread gently and softly move

In your journey as you find your groove

Climb that tree and rest awhile

Witness the water silently settle…

Renew your spirit and discover your mettle

Delve in the solitude seeking the clarity in the calmth unbound

As in still waters… runs deep, the wisdom profound !

Savvy Raj

Sitting on the Edge awaiting a new dawn

Full of hope and promise of all things new , the past by gone ….

Awaiting to witness hope regained in every heart

As the sun arises across the horizon for a brand new day to start !!

Endless possibilities and limitless potential to explore ..

Dance to it all is what the heart will implore.

Now is the time to dare and do …

all the things you always wanted to .

Know all is truly well and on the way

Towards the joy and cheer that’s sure to hold you in sway

Then delve into this moment renewed in faith and confidence

As life after all gives to all from Eternal Providence!!!

Savvy Raj

We are but a handful of Earth …let go the unwanted ego

Shed that mask of greatness and let the love freely flow

In every act of forgiveness in this very moment

Know you are freeing yourself more, than another with this movement

Reality is in this moment alone

Allow that past to move on and with the future unknown….

The challenge is in this moment that presents an opportunity

to fill it with hope and positivity…

Sense through the sifting sands of time ,watch it flow free on its course

Simply be present in this moment , never be overwhelmed or too morose

Life will take care of you as it always has, since you were born

Don’t you worry or be forlorn!

In every new day that dawns,and a new moment itself presents

Refill your heart with hope and be alive to the magic that it actually represents !

Savvy Raj

On the razors edge , there is poignant elegance

Beautiful poise, precariously in balance

Amidst the fury of the fire raging beneath

She stand resolute in her calmth

Not helpless but in knowing Nature’s ways

That in time all is well back to base

Beauty on the outside burns off into the ember

Leaving an ashen pile of dust to remember

Yet deluding the fury in being uprooted

In the strength of the grounding firmly rooted

Leaving an evergreen picture of poise

She has that stoic stance of grace

A pose of composure on destiny’s face

In spite of a life abruptly denied

She is the beauty of Grace personified !

Savvy Raj

Why is there a need to race against time

To beat time in its own game of time

Why dont we realize the eternality of time

And that we are just mortal souls living on graced time

There is really no need to worry for every crease in time

Cos even in the ravages of time

The proof of patience will manifest in time

Instead value the preciousness of time

Adapt to it and make friends with time!

Respect another and strive to be on time !

Make that a habit of a lifetime …

Be aware enough to never be enslaved by time

Know for everything there is always a time

So work, play, laugh ,sing ,dance & add along a scoop of ‘me’ time!

Be alive to this moment in time…

Rest assured you will always stride gracefully every time!

Savvy Raj

Live it well and not just exist for existence sake !

Wake up to a life of beauty in and around you every day

Spend moments in that which you love …

As you find your passion and it will lead you to your purpose!

Participate in enthusiasm in each moment don’t let it pass you by

Live in alignment with your purpose with passion .

All in this world are one.

Embrace the art of evolving ,helping others evolve with you !

Let go of past and commit to this moment 100%

Forgiveness is the art of setting yourself free !

Be flexible to new ideas…

Explore your limits and gently stretch beyond!

Care to see the world from the other persons perspective fill your cup of empathy and let it overflow with joy of caring !

Care to be proactive and quit complaining…

Acceptance and mutual respect are positive steps towards creativity.

Respect people as they are .

Simply care to bring positive changes to the self and the world changes for you !

Do what you want others to do for you !

Change is constant ….

Let go of attachments as they are impermanent, focus on the larger good and empowerment !

Embrace the art of expressing gratitude for all that was , is and will be !

If you don’t express they will never know how much they mean to you .

Get in touch with your inner happiness and the world is a happy place to be…

Smile and have loads of fun !

Be authentic about yourself and loving all that you are.

You are truly a manifestation of divine light !

As you meet the divinity in you, you will meet the divine in others!

Life is a Gift ! Living is an art !
