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.
Savvy Raj
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…
Savvy Raj
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.
Savvy Raj
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.
Savvy Raj
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.

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.

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…
Savvy
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.
Savvy Raj
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.
Savvy
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.”
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 ?
Savvy
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…
Savvy
To live and learn
To sense and share
To dream and care
To act and respond
To transform and transcend
Such is the nature of life and living.
