A short post and photograph caught my eye and I was drawn to pen a few words.

Thank you Mark Bierman for the wonderful inspiration.
Life is what we see and make of it.
Life creates something out of nothing
And everything out of something.
The illusions in the envisioning
Are but reflections in the making
Of what is visible, so as to matter
To the purpose of the life within.
Charlie or you or me are as visible
As the sun, the sea or the stars
Partially seen and understood
In the giant plan
Each have an untold story
Each matter in their own way
Each have a reason to be
To each their own.
Savvy
Love is the way
For all of us
As each of us matter.
Somehow, somewhere,
We are all connected
In the infinite plan.
And each of us
Need to become responsible
To make a meaningful difference.
For life to thrive than just survive,
We need to be respectful
Towards each other.
To gain and sustain trust and faith
That make the world
A better place to live in
For all of us,
Love is the way!

In Practice of Gratitude…
Every day, in every way, the awareness builds upon you, as you become more and more grateful for all that is, was and will be.
In every move towards Gratefulness you are creating a bridge of Gratitude to channel your emotions when they go astray.
Let your Gratitude speak beyond words, in actions that matter.
Let the walls of uncertainty, in doubts and lack of faith trust and belief, shift away in the winds of positive transformation.
Let your heart and mind be on one page.
In the aligned thoughts, let your breath be free and easy.
Let your life expressions be empathic & compassionate.
Let your lifes moments be like the tender breeze, easing in the flow.
Let every Gratitude you sense, become building rocks on the bridge of GRATITUDE.

Some positive takes in an accidental spill…
To keep calm and address the lesson in the spill.
To turnover a spill to evolve for better
To sense a pattern of possibilities in a spill.
To challenge the statuesque through a spill.
To test skillsets learned from a spill
To move beyond in a dare with a spill
To spill some more and align the pattern formations
To envision hope beyond the accidental spill.
To create artworks from the potential in a spillover
To empathize with the spiller across the learning curve…
Spills become art and art spills over.
Savvy
We need arts to explore our potential and understand ourselves
For the study and practice of arts opens us to discover different perspectives.
Art patterns itself through creativity
And art flourishes in appreciation and patronage.
But art emotes from the depth of the soul and spirit in the sensing.
Art can salvage the broken and the indifferent souls.
As much as channel the creative genius to express from within.
Art is both an intervention as much as intrainment experience.
When the soul speaks art renders.
Savvy
In a world battling for itself
It is time to let oneself be as is
Accepting and acknowledging
The vulnerability of life
As foibles of life and living
It is not a time to be over demanding
Striving for over perfection
To the tipping point .
For the challenges of this now
Far outweigh the craze for perfection
Time to be less hard on yourself
And others around you
And be more grateful 🙏
Gratitude changes perspectives.
Making life a little more bearable
And a lot less complicated.
Savvy
Practice anything
Consistently
As a way of life
And it will become art.
An art that is tangible…
To sense like an artist
In the throes of creation.
For as you practice
In your passionate perseverance
Your soul is enriched
And your spirit shines
In its own truth.
“Art is for the heart from the heart with all your heart ….

Every day you have countless thoughts
Our thoughts carry energy
Some positive ones making you hopeful
Some negative leaving you stressed
Upset and drained.
But to truly make each day beautiful
Whenever there are too many negative
Thoughts that arise…
Become mindful
In awareness, train yourself
To think it over
Focus the many good
Let go of the bad.
Flipping it over makes all the difference
The question is
Will u try and flip the script?
Savvy
A person never is bored when he or she is creating something,expressing oneself. Through art forms, painting, singing, writing,and whatever that connects deeply to oneself.
And thats the beautiful part, where one art inspires another as much as the self to explore more.

Strength of Silence
Silence is Strength in its subtlety
Fragile and yet full of potential
Expanding consciousness in awareness
Tremendous growth occurs in Silence
Explore the Silence of the soul and spirit.
Silence is powerful beyond compare
Start your journey to understand the self
In the sounds of silence
Wisdom speaks
Silence listens without a word.

Wherever we may be
In this world, we are busy
We are too busy watching this now
For what might happen or go wrong
In doubt and fear of uncertainty
We perhaps, need a moment
Thàt we can can acknowledge
In awareness of where we are now
We might then, take note of all things.
Things that we can be happy about
Things that are not too bad after all
Things we may actually be joyful about
And then perhaps we can feel better
From wherever we are
However we are, as we are.
There is much, that we can be
Truly grateful for in this life.
Savvy
In every moment of time
When you consistently attract & share
The good energies from wherever
You send out feelings of goodwill
You share the grace of hope for the better.
You begin to evolve from where you are
And help make the world a little better one way or the other.
All is a matter of attitude.
Your choice, your way.

A Chinese business man was thinking whom to hand over his business out of his 3 sons. He thought of a way to find their talent.
He told his sons he, who sells more combs to the buddhist monastery will be the one who will head his business.
Initially the sons were perplexed how to sell combs to the monks who do not grow hair.
After the specific time given to them, father called his sons to know about their achievements.
First one told I sold 2 combs.
How asked the father.
I told them the comb can be used to scratch their backs. 2 monks bought it.
Well. What about you , father asked the next one.
I sold 10 combs.
How asked the surprised father.
I told the monastery. that the people visit with dishevelled hair because of the strong winds on the way which is a disrespect to lord Buddha. If they keep a mirror & some combs at the entrance it will help people. They agreed & bought 10 combs.
The merchant praised his son .
Third son said I sold 1000 combs. The merchant was in awe.
I went to the head monk n told since they receive a lot of donations, it would be a nice gesture, if they give something like a blessing to the donors.
What can we give asked the head monk.
I showed him the combs with Buddha’s sayings inscribed on it & said since they use comb everyday it will be a reminder of teachings every time they use. . He agreed & ordered for 1000 combs with Buddha’s teachings inscribed.
No need to guess who took over the business from father.
All will think it is impossible to sell combs to the monks.
In life also we may face certain impossible situations . If we become disheartened then it means we have accepted defeat.
The 3 sons showed us 3 different ways of thinking.
First one thought what other way the comb can be used n sold 2.
Second one thought who other than the monks can use the comb n thought of the visitors . He was able to sell 10.
But it was a one time sale n no further sale in these lines will work out.
The third son also thought on same lines like the second, but with a difference. He modified the product as a gift wiith Buddha’s blessings to the donors. With the increase of donors , his sale will also increase.
So never accept defeat or think that coming out of difficult situations is impossible, start thinking differently. Expand ur vision from different angles.
Think to bring some small changes which will bring great results.
No one to buy tomatoes, dumped in garbage.
No price for cabbage. Used as manure in fields
Bananas , radish thrown on the streets .
We read many such news.
The knowledge we have in farming, we don’t have in business. Pickles, chips, jam dried vegetables, so many other ways to make them profitable. Instead of throwing or wasting, think what else use it can be put into. Learn to approach the correct persons. , through co operative farming or combined business.
Learn to change impossible situations to positive opportunities.
With patience , faith, hardwork n vigour if u start working , the impossible situation will become the foundation for a future big success.
Never bow down to initial negativities or accept defeat.
Expand your vision & focus.
Live with hope & positivity.
