Cells and us!
Irony of our times
In the name of connection
We are truly disconnected
We are celled to our phones
Caught hook line and sinker…
Glued to a metal contraption
That’s overtaking our lives
Living in a imaginary world
We are feeding on bytes
While reality bites
Haven’t we taken
A bite of more than we can chew?

Here is an animation by Steve Cutts …that brings forth the stark truth of our times.
At the right place at the right time…
Are places we land, reach, live and interact of our own choice and free will.
Is there a more at play beyond the random?
Isn’t there a pattern to the puzzle?
Are we meant to be where we are supposed to be?
At a particular place and time.
While every life journey in time is unique yet…
Life has an emergent pattern in the order and chaos that it self creates.
And in between, there is organisation and destruction.
Nature has its way in both order and disorder.
When in the flow of harmony there emerges a stillness in structure.
A plan, a commitment and discipline
Seems worth the effort of it all!
All is clockwork and efficient
Life seems at its optimal best.
And then things fall into a routine.
At a heightened state of equilibrium
When all is even & smooth sailing
A slack and slump in motivation appears,
Complacency creeps in time, in that ordered universe.
Creative juices need a boost up .
And that is when entrophy begins.
Changing equations changing hierarchy
Disruption appears as a need for change
All is in flux of a disordered flow
Disaster sets in, tumbling the structure
Crumbling systems until chaos reigns.
Until chaos settles itself again giving way.
To strengthen structure .
The dance goes on
Between freedom and restraint.
Are we truly free ?
Or are we guided to be
At the right place at the right time!
For there is so little we know
Of this self arranging universe
Except to understand
From the emerging patterns.
Of sequences of self similarity
Of timing and spacing.
There is after all so much more to discover.
Savvy
Patience in waiting is a virtue
Timing holds the key
For life cannot be rushed
Nor lived in haste.
Flowing along in harmony
Makes all the difference
In knowing life is endless
Dimensions in the making
In understanding and amalgamating
The lessons that are in the living.
In the resting between regeneration.
In the crossing over beyond in fulfillment
All one needs is to live life lovingly!
Savvy
Discernment is a spiritual gift
As humanity stands perplexed
At times in the paradoxes of life
Confounded by challenges.
In the throes of confusion.
An ability to figure things out.
A clarity of purpose and reason.
An act of perception of the obscure.
An ability to be insighted and comprehend.
A sifting through to make sense of it all
Acknowledging the spirit of the soul
Meeting through both the head and the heart.
Discernment is a wonderful tool
In intervention than in criticism.
For the gift is an ability to distinguish
The truth, in the facades that may appear.
In understanding the real and unreal
The truths and the untruths
And everything in between.
When seen with dispassionate eyes
Beyond the mirrored existence
Shifting perspectives in the making.
Yet knowing simply all as parts of the same source.
Savvy
Powers beyond comprehension,
Core strength beyond speculation,
Understanding an ever-evolving expansion
Of an intelligence without limitation,
Spheres and circles of energies
Dancing in suspended vibrations
In the infinity of time and space,
All a wonder of divine manifestation.
Profound projections,
Flashes of brilliance,
Resounding resonances,
Defining and redefining
Swirling life in a concoction
Of myriad manifestations,
Each seemingly independent
Yet deeply interwoven.
Circles of life,
Creative enigma at best.
Ordained in the flow
Are these Spheres of Infinity.
Savvy
On chaos and order in birthing creativity!
Chaos is a precursor to order
It is the law of nature
Disorder and order are cyclical
All a matter of generation and regeneration.
Yet in all these complexities
There is a spark of simple brilliance
As in the flux of nature there is always
a stillness of consistency
Of interdependence in the interconnectedness
To accept change as a given
Creates an acceptance of a flow
Bringing forth new frontiers
In perspectives and ideas
Allowing ease of the flow.
The truth of creativity
Is that it is infinite and expansive
It is free flowing without fixation
It is boundless and unique.
Acknowledging the chaos as much as the order
As they are and meant to be….
Creates a conducive environment
For the birth of new creativity.
Savvy
From time immemorial
Existence equaled spaces
Life equated space as a given
All a matter of life and death.
Our history is a witness
Of the story of spaces
Fought for, on and upon
Mauraded or harvested
The mystic and majesty
Lies in the significance of spaces
Spaces breathed and birthed
Spaces nurtured in nature
Spaces in and around us
Breathtaking magnificent
Stark manifestations
Of ground realities
Spaces in time eternal
Spaces bygone
And yet to be encountered
Spaces lived and loved
Spaces taken for granted
Spaces usurped and owned
Spaces pursued and protected
Spaces encroached and freed.
Gratitude to the powers that are
In the spaces between
The two words, two beings or two breaths
Between stillness and movement.
Savvy
Gratitude rocks and how!
I happened to read somewhere that…
If you can find three things to be grateful for every day
And are able keep at it for say at least 21 days or so
You just might find yourself in a happier space
Try it for yourself!
Here are a few entries I feel like share from my own personal gratitude journals.
Savvy
Sometimes comments on a post germinate a seed of creativity.
A compliment in appreciation of a life lived in dare and adventure on a fellow writer’s post… evoked a reply from him that reflected many sentiments in a sentence … that he would never wish to advise another to live so! And yet is proud of the journey that was, is and will be!
Sharing my reflections to it…
Every Life is unique
And has all the potential to be a masterpiece.
All is in the choices one makes!
Speaking of a life lived on the edges
Or a life safely sailed in smooth waters
Never reaching the rapids
Both have a reason and purpose to be
For as the purpose reveals itself in time.
The life in question will have answers to itself
Why it was the way it chose
Why it lived a life
Of dare or in safety?
And it will know
It has served its purpose
In simplest of ways
Or charted new ways for others
In adventure or sacrifices
All is a play of life
Asserting itself over and over again.
All said and done
I believe every life is best lived
By the spirit and soul that is given the life!
For it is meant to have
all the wherewithal of existence.
Every life is best lived by itself
So while we can appreciate
The adventure of lifes moment
No life should be wished
or advised for another
As each is meant to be!
And yet through it all
in hope for a better world…
It matters to be seen
Whether the given life
Is simply existing or living the moments!
But then
That is in the power of choices we make!
Savvy
Poetry is a joy that cannot be contained
Poetry is in words that get themselves aligned
What makes words flow
So many things I say
The pull of the idea conveyed
The push of the underlying emotions
The interconnects in the thoughts
The interdependence in the choices made.
Some say verses flow only in rhyme and meter
Some like it structured to the tee
And some a bit undone.
But true poetry is a feeling created
A magnet for thoughts imagined
That move to synch in a symphony
In the most unique of ways.
Every poem is a dance of words
In rhythmic flow all its own ….
Touching hearts through those words
Conveying so much more than words can say!
Savvy
Imagination traverses far
Moving dimensions
Mirroring and blending
Adapting and creating
Both the invisible and visible
Energy in the stillness
Energy in the motion
Orcherstrated in the flow
Savvy
What makes the dancer dance?
There is a invisible pull of passion
That speaks to the dancing soul
In no uncertain words
That the realm to create is within you
In the draw of movements
Is the pure fascination
Of sensing feeling and knowing
The pulsating dance of energy
As the dancer emotes through movements
Waxing in eloquence and ease
For the viewers at large
There is another story waiting to be told
Blurred in the sidelines those memories
Of passionate, perseverance and focus
Of dedicated determination and dare
Of trustful knowing…
Of the strength of belief
That every move made
And the steps taken
Is with utter faith & grounding.
Every muscle in the body flows
Through the symphony of movements. To move to the music in harmony
Tuned in the divinity of expression.

Just one heartfelt move… makes all the difference!
One who knows the worth of life cannot afford to waste even a single moment of life… Take a step towards a more meaningful life for you ….
Savvy
Your abilities have a way of appearing
In bringing forth your inner purpose.
Even if you haven’t utilized them yet,
They will be visible to others at some point or the other.
If you ever feel you don’t have it in you,
For whatever reason, to pursue your gifts and talents,
Keep the faith and use your abilities
To bring out the best in others.
Reach out to help others trust themselves.
Give hope wherever you can.
Immerse yourself in spreading goodwill.
You will find yourself on the path that’s meant for you.
Your unique set of talents are gifts you own.
If you feel you do not know the way
To use them for yourself
Use them to help others in need
And in that you will find your way!
Savvy
The Heart of Nature
Plays tunes for those who listen.
Pull a single chord in nature
You will hear it commune in the synchrony
Being In nature we understand
The value of balance
And we learn to trust in faith
As we inspire wonders of nature.
And a certain reverence for life.
For in respecting life in and around us
We learn to understand ourselves more.
Nature teaches us much,
If we truly care to listen.
