The phase of blur


Between and betwixt
The light & dark
There is a phase of blur
Wherein clarity is embedded. 

In this momentary distortion
The phase holds the potential
For infinite possibilities.
Awaiting its turn to appear
Blur may seem bleary,
But like a bud holds the bloom
Blur holds the moment of clarity.


Fear not the blur
It’s a transient phenomenon
Like all things
Change is the only constant.


An embodiment of uncertainty
Of the uncomfortable reality
Blur takes its time to clear
Like a foggy winters day.


It makes you imagine your truths
In the shadows of grey
Between the black & white
Blur may seem challenging
But it provokes perception
To decipher this dance of illusion & reality

The light of the night

Image Credits : Art by Savvy Raj

Can you believe in the beauty

Of light in the night,

As much as in the day?

For night becomes a background

Receding for the light to shine

Brightly the hope that it emits.

Fear not the darkness  of night

For it leads the way to light.

Awakening the senses

A scent that calls in a deeper breath…while savoring the sensation…

‘Petrichor’ is one of the fragrances  that is earthy yet divine to me . There is something  grounding and yet ethereal in its ephemeral  smell. Taking me to places and spaces I cannot fathom, yet moves me.Evoking emotions in the  memories and invoking pleasant feelings of playing in the fields following  the first rain. I am also reminded of green woody forests,with tall trees, where the  air is pristine and pure.


I sense the freshness of first rain on earth in its smell enveloping me. Just a whiff and it transports me to many realms of my own being, as it invigourates me.
I can never stop appreciating it… and can never have enough  of it.

Do you like the fresh fragrance of first rain on dry earth?

What emotions are evoked in you?

Do share your thoughts…

Fleeting moments

There is beauty in this now

But a sadness in letting go

Learning to appreciate this now

And accept the changing moments

As part of every now

Helps envision beyond what is

For all is transient.

Share

The way you move,

The way you write

The way you dance

The way you talk

The way you live

Share much about you

Express without fear

It’s good for you.

Remember…

Sharing at times can make you vulnerable

But it can open you up to the strength within.

Regeneration time

Every breath matters

To breath well is a blessing . For every breath is never to be taken for granted.

In every breath we take

Let’s value this gift of life.

Acknowledging our breath

Lets breathe in ease .

Lets take a moment

In between breaths

Pause with ease

Relax the self

To let go with ease

And repeat…

Every breath matters.

Self Reflection

The child they say is the father of the man.

Question yourself

How you were as a child…

How was your childhood?

Here is a little self reflection tool in understanding the self.

Think of yourself as a child,  what age do  you imagine  yourself  to be in?

Write down words that come to you when you think of your childhood?

Write down people or places that  connect with the words you wrote

You will find yourself  connecting the dots…

All of the expressed, repressed and suppressed emotions has much to do with who you become as an adult.

Much of what you felt, are feeling as an adult goes back to what you enjoyed or endured as a child..

Nature works with nurture to create your being.

Each of us have  evolved from our  experiences. Self reflection is a valuable tool to bring to  awareness that however easy or difficult the childhood was, understanding that childhood is your past but the present is with you for you to carve. to make your future.

Now the choice rests with you.

Bound to find a way

In lands without freedom

Words whisper revolution

In places where words are muted

Drums drum deafening silence

In the din of chaos

Silence in welcome

What is repressed

Expresses in fervor

It’s only bound

To find a way…

As the light dawns

As light dawns
It dispels darkness
Spreads hope & cheer
Bringing joy & happiness
To all touched by this light.

As the waves of light
Transmit itself in the world
Hearts heal and life regenerate
For light is meant to be the light
Care to sense the light of you.

Heart matters

The same heart that loves

Hurts some day

The same heart that hurts

Heals some day

The heart is extremely versatile

Capable of being adaptable

Beyond our fears and doubts

Capable of love and hate

And all the shades in between.

From going green with envy

To blossoming  like red roses…

Heart beats on its own tune

Take care of the heart

Feed it well

Stay happy and healthy

In good faith and trust.

For life is in the heartbeat.

All for the better

And sometimes when things don’t go as planned

May be you have been saved from some unknown obstacle

May be it wasn’t the right time

May be its all for the better.

Write drunk. Edit Sober.

‘Write Drunk

Edit Sober.”

Attributed to Hemingway this line  is a little gem in itself .

Here is my take…

As a writer give in

To flights of fancy

Give in to the dance

Of Imagination.

Be drunk with joy

Of writing with all of you.

Enjoy the immersion

Embody your uniqueness

And flow with the words .

Sense the delights in disarray

Just write on…

As you edit

Stay sober 

Be attentive

Be mindful

And aware.

And patient

With yourself.

Most of all

Be here in the now.

Savvy

Ps :I write for joy… so have always enjoyed writing  in a flow though never drunk , I confess I  have enjoyed  the waltz with words as it flows often on.  And yet I also know I have a lots to  learn about editing. It’s still a work in progress. 

What are your thoughts on this ?

And so it flows

Swimming in a sea of words

Riding on waves of  thought

Rowing with the oar of faith

Sailing on a ship of trust 

Flowing along the ocean of time…

I am grateful for the blessings

Of words that fill my heart

Thankful for the creative thoughts

In the receiving I share

In the sharing I receive

And so it flows…
