Whenever
In art there is a flow
Of feeling
Of movement
Of emotions
Of energy
Displaying the skill of the artist
There is…
A sense of completeness
Inspite of rawness
A sense of wholeness
Inspite of the roughness
Opening up sensations
In the heart of the viewer
Delivering the meaning
Of the spirit of the soul.
As then the message conveys
The very purpose of the art.
When art speaks to the heart
Art moves the soul.

A bird, a tree & a mountain
Far above at the top of the tree
The birds perch themselves on the branches
Ready to fly on moments notice
They are light and free
Deep in the ground the roots of a tree
Growing in the thick of things
Amidst the densely packed earth
Digging deeper in stability.
On higher ground the mountain rests Gradually building upon itself.
Or chipping away itself to erosion
Witnessing it all as the world whizzes through…
As the birds fly away
In search of food or when predators strike
And the trees bears fruits
As roots grow strong.
Life and living have a reason to be.
Witness the wisdom playing through
Every whiff of the wind, every bit of stillness
Every sway every bend every move
Every thing that is was and will be
For all is a dance of infinite wonder.
Who are you like
The bird
The roots of a tree
Or a mountain
What do you resonate with?

Are you where your feet are?
Can your heart and mind meet as one?
Can your thoughts & deeds mean the same ?
Are your words from the heart?
Are you comfortable in your own skin?
Do you feel one with yourself?
Are you grounded enough?
Are you where your feet are?
Are you truly in this now?

Once upon a time
Long long ago
In a far away land
Was a sweet little child
Who used to have a fairy tale book
Read to her by her dear mother
Every night as she was tucked into bed
She would hear a story from her mom
But there were clauses to this plan.
It was a given thing between the two
The story had to have a happy ending
The story includes people and animals
Or even a garden of fruits and flowers
Enchanting stories of courage and dare
Of compassion and care
Of humanity at large
In goodwill and love
Or even seemingly silly stories
Of life and living in general
Of fun and frolic.
But there was a pact between the two
Which her mother followed to the tee.
Simply there was one area
The story must not go to or be
Of things above in the sky.
Although her mother was too drawn
To explore the mystery of space…
But the little girl felt a little too lost
To fathom space and beyond
May be it was just her nature
Or perhaps there was more to it
Of why she was uncomfortable with unknown space!
Leaving a few musings in contemplation…
Are fears rational or just an illusion in the making?
What are irrational fears?
Are they there for a reason?
Do fears manifests from past lives?
Do fears eventually help us someway?
How does one overcome these fears?
Can we grow out of our little fears?
Do you have any experience of fears as a kid?
Have you chosen to outgrow them?
Have you managed to face your fears?
For life awaits on the other side of fear!

Have been growing vegetables in my terrace garden
Every potted plant has a story to tell
A lesson to share in the growing…
Take this tomato plant for instance
So much growth but not many fruits
Perhaps they were densely planted
And hence contained in their pot
A few tomatoes have showed up
Others have yet to see the light of the day
Amongst these few, the tiniest tomato
Is very visible to the eye, having ripened the earliest.
The rest are as yet awaiting
Patiently for their evolution
Like they say
Wisdom hath no age!
Perhaps this tiny one at best
Received the rays of sunshine
Nourished in the nurture.
Matured well before it’s time.

When the heart is glad, the feet are ready to dance, when the feet dance, the heart is glad!
Dancing is the joy in being awake to the miracle of being alive.
And dancing hearts know it best!
Savvy
Like rivers are meant to flow
For it to meet the sea
Nourishing the earth along the way
Gushing forth with the water of life.
Let us flow through life
Exploring and experiencing
Meandering through many facets of living
Nurturing it with heartfelt love.
For life is like the river
We are meant to flow
And not stagnate and perish
In doubts and insecurities.
Like a river trusts itself in the flow
Merging into oneness eventually
Moving forth constantly in time and space.
Flow in faith like a river flows!

Each of us create Circles of being
As our life changes
We create new circles in living
We are constantly recreating
The interpolation of circles
Every circle interconnects
Somewhere somehow.
In these circles of being
Is a sense of community
Creating camaraderie
Creating the ease of flow
Creating confusion and chaos
Of life lived along the edges
Of life lived protected in the core,
Of lives transacted in the transitions
Of lives lost and gained.
Let us know the strength of the circle
Let us respect its flow in the flexibility
We are, but dots in these circles of being
Every dot matters & completes the circle
And can begin a new circle of being.
Savvy
Check out this amazing idea by a woman using the strength of the circles for providing a basic human need for the homeless.

Far and near…
A matter of taking a forward step
On facing your fears
What seems fearful from far
Becomes surmountable in a dare.
What appears difficult from far
Becomes easy as you go nearer.
Every step to face the obstacles
Can help overcome the challenges
Make sure to move
For then the steps taken
Is a progress from where you were
What’s surrmounted, closes the gap
Between what’s far and near
Truly a matter of movements
Take a step make a move!

How much are we what we write about
Our thoughts are simply quite complex
Sometimes we are a bundle of contradictions
We may begin to write on a whim
As fancy may catch us sometimes
But we are steered by the thoughts that we think
Sometimes remembered reflections
Sometimes in propulsion of passions
Sometimes aimless fired by default
Sometimes in self awareness
Combining experiences in the life and living.
Within set standards in conformity or in whimsical sentimentality
Where is the turning point?
Where we assemble our thoughts
Amidst the jumble of arising waves
What distinguishes our thoughts
That flow from us in words
To arrange itself in this self arranging life.
In our fractality there is fragility
As much as rigourousness of rigidity
Raising righteousness in morality
Of conscientiousness in the wake of integrity.
And there is no denying the dedication
In single minded focus
In pursuing a thought home
Manifesting through words
Conveyed with a purpose.
In feelings and factuality
Peeling through the layers
There is much of us in what we write
And yet so much a figment of pure imagination
The words may carry our thoughts
But take on a form of their own…
Shaping up as stories
Letting there be a mystery
For all to read and fathom
Of how much is true
And what is fictional?🙂

Life is calling
Whatever we are meant to create, collaborate, to do or accomplish with our lives… we will.
All of us meet with different facets of envisioning.
And as we move on to connect we take in different aspects of understanding.
Our life is changed & continues to change
In every intersection of interaction
Sometimes it’s a feeling, a thought.
At times it’s a drive so full of intentions.
Life is meant to churn out the truth of it’s own existence
It is meant to evolve in the changes.
So important to know the value of every life.
The power of every contact
The force of nature in every connection
That leaves imprints for posterity.
Each exchange, every dialogue
Every word, every letter
Is energy unleashed with emotions
The intentions carry them through.
Value the intuition you sense
In every connection
The purpose clarifies itself to you.
Every life is meant to make a difference
To someone somewhere
It could be you.
Savvy
Thinking is open to possibilities
Thought is already channelled
To be fair and square
Thinking is about the now
Emerging in this moment
Thought is the past
Over and done.
Yet every thought matters
As it may enable new ways of thinking…
And so it goes
Until these loops form a pattern
And hit a sweet spot of light
Illuminating a new pathway!
Savvy
Fruits of nature
To cultivate plants and trees
Is a labour of love
Definitely not for the impatient.
For nature takes it’s own time.
But in the yield is another story
Of the manifestation of joy’s untold
Or of disappointment in expectations.
For nature may have so many reasons
The harvest differs in every season
Sometimes there is a bounty
At times there may be scarcity.
But effort must go on, in hopefulness
No matter the produce and the yield
Quite like life, learning from the lessons
You must go on, you cannot tarry back!
Savvy
Today is celebrated as the Worlds Environment Day, let us take a moment to appreciate trees and plants around us for the beautiful and blessed presence and let us make an effort to preserve them and grow more.
Stepping beyond the comfort zone
Is a dare to trust the given chance
A step is all it takes to get on
As the soul readies for a spirited dance
Knowing nothing that is beyond this now.
A blind conviction
To reach the unknown and how
Is a story of guts and gumption
The moment is all there is at hand
To test the strength at bay
And explore far away land
Flowing along with a heart that shows the way.
All this life is a test of will
To transcend the levels known
As you climb the mountain and hill
Being in touch with natures own…
Life may be a challenge at work and play
Do love this life to connect with care
Every moment is given in every night and day
To live in this now and heart fully share…
Your life is a pattern of living
That you choose on your own
So rise to the unique moments
Sharing the joys you have known.
Savvy
Every moment is full of potential
While in thinking about this moment
It may move on to the next moment
That is full of hope again!
No moment is empty
It holds the truth of the creation.
Every moment is precious
Enough to never to take it for granted.
