Nothing more nothing less.
In a world of assumptions and perceptions
In a world of make believe and gratifications.
In a world of false notions and proclamations.
In a world of judgments and contradictions.
It helps ever so often
To invest in our precious time.
To center our wavering thoughts
To balance our movements
To still our restless spirit
To calm our frayed nerves
To choose our own words.
If only to realise we are
Nothing more nothing less.
As we are truly in it all together.
Connected cells as different entities.
We are all made of the same matter
And all is a matter of energy.
Nothing more nothing less.
In seeing beyond the sheaths of skin.
In peeling of the layers of conditioning.
Moving flowing blending converging.
Sense it if you will, with a subtlety of being.
Nothing more nothing less.
What we speak can become our truth.
What we project can be our destiny.
What we assume become our realities.
What we think is perhaps who we are.
Nothing more nothing less.

Circle of Thoughts:11
A vision a verse by Savvy Raj

Steering of thoughts is a conscious movement
To choose the thoughts we wish to focus
Is discarding a lot of thoughts in deliberation
And finding the ones to concentrate upon.

A Celebration of Silence
Welcome enchantment,
A celebration of silence
In the sensing of an ethereal presence.
As it further blends into the dusk of misty blue.
Let go and dare to lose yourself in the magnetic sense enchantment
As the scent of the woody flowers work their magical sense entrapment.
Let the soft bed of flowers and falling leaves lead the way,
And fear not of the unknown at bay.
The vibrant orange hues of the winding path may tease and beguile you.
Step in to explore life’s colours in all shades and hues.
Hear the sounds of silence that speak of eternal time of many a lifeline.
Simply learn from the falling autumn leaves that drop only to enliven another tree another time.
There is always that mystical journey laid out for you.
Sense the myriad colours that make you and me.
What you find and see is yours to know and be.

Wisdom in the Challenges: 6

Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …
War and Peace
The challenge seeks to resolve for peace.
The wisdom is in the path of peace.
The challenge competes to win the war.
The wisdom collaborates and creates peace.

Conscious Independence
As we celebrate our Independence day in India, may we care to value the underlying philosophy behind the word Independence… the ability to voice our uniqueness and express our individuality amidst a global platform .
Truly independence is a birthright that allows us to freely express ourselves, but along with it, is a sense of responsibility, a duty to empower the within as much as the world .
Channelizing the creative flow of freedom of expression to positive outcomes for the larger good is a responsibility for every individual… it is actually the simple way to create a life of well being with in and around each of us and for the world at large.
As we are after all an interdependent world even in our states of independence…. that to me is valuing and practicing Conscious Independence.:)
Happy Independence Day!
May we always Dance the dance of independence and freedom.
May we tune ourselves to connect with joys in tandem.
May we always remember and value great souls lost in martyrdom.
May we acknowledge that the strength in the interdependence is never random.
May we always respect our roots and learn to follow our inner wisdom.

Razor’s Edge
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
My above verses are my humble dedication to all those life’s living and lived in inspiring ways inspite of calamity despair pain and loss. Inspite of unsurrmountable odds stacked against them, those without hope who project unending verve and ebullience to live life in every moment.
A heartfelt offering of respect and salute to the undying spirits of those who even in the knowing the evening is near still retain and emanate the light of dawn in their hearts.

Wisdom in the Challenges :5

Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …
The challenge draws a blank line.
The wisdom draws a full circle.
The challenge questions the issue at hand.
The wisdom answers the question.

Art of Creativity: The Journey

The Mystic of this mistress is magnetic
Almost hovering on the hypnotic
And yet…
In the unforgiving toughness
Is the challenge to continue
In her demands to deliver
Is the discipline of approach
In the chiding of the critiques
Is the attempt to evolve
Beyond the punishing schedules.
And in that trusting knowing
Actors act, sculptors sculpt
Writers write, painters paint
Singers sing, dancers dance
Finding purpose in the passion
In the artistry of creativity.
And as art empowers in the connectivity
Life carries on…!

Wisdom in the Challenges:1
Life may challenge us all every once in a while, it is good as it leaves some wisdom behind …
The challenge is to float when you feel you will drown.
The wisdom is to sense a challenge coming.
The challenge is to tide through the tough times.
And wisdom is knowing this too shall pass on.

Between Friends
Hey this one’s for you…

To all my dear lovely ‘ Friends from all around this beautiful world’!

Between friends…not for us the bondage’s of time, space and superficiality or distance… thoughts are words unspoken but heard joyously without distraction.
The simple presence of a friend is always welcome, never intrusive; thereby an answer to our unspoken needs without questions.
It’s at times a validation of all that we stand for and often enough maybe just a forethought thrown in wisely in our direction which would be wise to be paid a heed to.
A confidence builder, a care giver, a mutual thought processor, a symbiotic thinker, a common goal sharer, a wisdom enhancer, a mood up lifter an energy booster, a health facilitator, a friend is so much and so much more… endless conversations completely whimsical, utterly important, at times all that is the simple need of the moment .
In all, having the privilege of a good friend is a conscious movement towards light and all that’s bright.
Cheers to the good friend who manifests in our life and makes our living fine!
Savvy Raj
