The River Within

There is a river within

That is flowing

On its own path

Coursing through the veins

Drawing from the souls well.

The well of the infinite

Unfolds many a paths

For the river to take

The river chooses its way

To flow on…

There is strength of the flow

In the movements

In the flexibility

In the adaptability

In supporting the body.

There is a journey onwards

Towards acknowledging

The purpose of the flow

The river perseveres

Until the moment of fulfillment…

When the river meets the sea.

Savvy

The above AI imagery  was prompted by me a while back in time… I just found a new interpretation to it today.

You are the flow

Where there are no rules that bound

Where the music leads and you follow

Where there is no end and no beginning

Where the river of time

Meets you as you want to

Where heart fields are open

To receive the infinite truths

You know..

All is in the flow as you sense you are the flow.

Wisdom of the Flow

Flowing along is a sign of strength

Misconstrued to be a weakness

It is an pathway in awareness

Of awakening to the potential.

In respecting the harmony in nature

There is so much to understand

In the path of non resistance.

In letting go doubts & fear of the worst.

To thrive in the flow of possibilities.

To be cont’d….

Flow in harmony

Let it flow…

In between the dance of forces

Is self adjusted neutrality

A flow in harmony.

In allowing to let go completely

Soon tension eases in the flow

In perseverance & patience.

In response than reaction

Creating positive transmutation.

In thoughts words and deeds

Till harmony becomes you.

The flow

Art by Savvy Raj

Sometimes when you just flow along

At times when you reflect to return

And then follow along with the flow

You know there is something there

That is bound to make sense to you

This artwork is just a result of doing just that…

Flowing along with the lines

Playing with the shape

Converging in the shading

Sensing the dance of light!

Be like a cat

“When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born, we were kicked off a precipice, and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it.
So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat.”

~ Alan Watts

Being a cat

Is about feeling ease

Not only in body

Built for speed

With flexibility of spine

Creating elasticity

In the cushioning

But also in their brains

Integrating moves creating agility

With remarkable coordination.

And powerful reflexes

Cats are graceful

In acceptance of the flow

There is ease of doing

Which lands them safe.

When you accept

Life is a but a dance in the flow

You begin to ease

In the ups and downs

You know life is a flux

Change is the only constant

You flow with effortless ease

Be like a cat…

Flow

There is commitment in attachment

There is contentment in letting go

For then…

There is connectedness to all

In freedom of the flow.

Creative capability

Art of creativity emanates from self belief in the creative capabilities within.


Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt.
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.

To allow the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of creative capabilities.

Blossom as you are

A flower doesn’t stop being beautiful just because somebody walks by without noticing it, nor does it cease to be fragrant if its scent is taken for granted. The flower just continues to be its glorious self: elegant, graceful, and magnificent.

Our Mother Nature has provided us with these immeasurably valuable teachers that blossom despite their short lifespan, stars that continue to shine even if we fail to stare at them, and trees that don’t take it personally if we never bow down in gratitude for the oxygen they provide.

We also have an incredible and unlimited capacity to love, but the question is: Can we do it like a flower? Without needing to be admired, adored, or even noticed? Can we open our hearts completely to give, forgive, celebrate, and joyfully live our lives without hesitation or need for reciprocity?

It seems like sometimes we go beyond taking things personally and are noticeably deflated when unappreciated. In fact, devastated, we wilt in sorrow and then attempt to guard ourselves by withholding, using all sorts of protections and defenses. We get hurt (even angry) if our boss fails to recognize an astonishing feat, if a lover pulls their hand away, or when a friend forgets our birthday. Can you imagine a flower copping an attitude for not being praised, or the moon dimming its glow because we’re too self-absorbed to notice it more often?

Make an effort to shine NO MATTER WHAT, to love unconditionally, and to be a kind and gentle soul (even when nobody is watching).

And, if you’re so inclined, hug the next tree you see and say, “Thank you!”

WISDOM OF STILLNESS




I listened  to my heart
Every day
As it shares from within
And I write them out as words
Sometimes as verses
At times its measured
In moderation.
Its a zen moment
For there is clarity
In just a few words shared.


Then there are times

They flow like a river
A torrent in a current
Patterning  itself
In its own making
Words come through me
As if it needs to be spoken
Sharing the sensitivity
Of the moments at hand.
I listen simply with rapt attention
For in the slightest flutter
In every movement in the moments
Or the depth of silence
There is wisdom in the stillness.

In Synchrony

Today I am happy to be sharing both my vision and my verses in synching with the flow… Have enjoyed this process of many learnings in blending my art to merge and emerge along the way… 

I would love to have your feedback on both my painting and poetry.

In Synchrony

What is it that powers and energizes our movements?
What calms and eases us in.
All is, in the flow…
Of our breath in this now.

And how it can flow enveloping  and encompassing,
Connecting and complementing each other like an elegant dance!In the inhale and exhale

All is in the learning
To flow and dance with life!
In Synchrony!

Alone and yet not alone!

I am not alone

I am not alone
When I am walking at dawn
For I have the company
Of a waking sun.

I am not alone
When I am walking at dusk
For I witness the dance of heavenly lights.

For Twilights hold a special meaning
In the witnessing
Of transitions in transcendence.
Of day to night
And night to day…

In this world
Remember
You are not alone
In the dark of the night
With twinkling stars to show you the way.

You are only alone
When even in midst of the many
Your heart seeks a little
Respite from company!

A safe space to witness
Your emerging thoughts
A zone to turn into
A tranquil place to been in

To sense a balance
With your thoughtful self
Amidst the scurry hurry
Of life and living.
Savvy

Often ‘ alone’ is equated with loneliness. Alone may also mean simply being a witness to, by and with your self. It may arise from a need to explore to discover the self as much as the world in mindful introspection and contemplation. Every now and then a little time spent quietly with your self can truly help expand and regain the much needed equanimity to handle the worldly issues.

Meditations are a positive wonderful way to recharge our system.

Do you like to find time to be alone

With your thoughts and nothing else?

Do share

Dancing matters…

Dance when you can …know you always can.

If you can’t get up and dance …

Dance in your thoughts

For dancing matters!

And the muse will touch you!

Creativity is abundant in the flow of life
In moulding  it to give form in the formless
In blending in its essence to shape as you please
In connecting the dots to structure it meaningfully

Every artist charts his path
With the blessed touch of a mystical muse
The muse appears uncalled and unforeseen
But exits suddenly as it came …

Then when spaces prevail in the togetherness
And the artist seeks on with a clouded vision
What appears seems beyond comprehension
Every moment begets its own challenge

When thoughts seem too scattered
When emotions need time to settle
When silence tends to stifle
When every endeavour hits rock bottom

Trust in the knowing
The muse will touch you
In the oddest moment
As it knows not time
To  give your thoughts a new pattern
Although the path is of your own making.

Savvy 

Every creative endeavour is an undefinable journey of peaks and pitfalls , of highs and lows. The artist can find themselves at crossroads  questioning  their very existence and therefrom find new paths to forge ahead in creativity.  The challenge is to take it all in your stride knowing ‘to create is a responsibility’ and hence the apparent strifes prepare you in the process towards your purpose of being . 

Flow is a matter of faith and trust when you know ‘All is in a state of flow’                Self belief takes shape in the form of a Muse and leads you on to a state of creative flow once more .

https://www.irishexaminer.com/examviral/real-life/leonard-cohens-final-letter-to-his-dying-muse-is-even-more-poignant-today-414649.htmlMollestad, a documentary filmmaker, read the letter to Ihlen before she died.

“It said, ‘Well Marianne, it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon.

“Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.

“And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and for your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey.

“Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.’”

Mollestad told host Rosemary Barton that when he read the line “stretch out your hand”, Ihlen had stretched out her hand.
