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
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.

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!

As Above So Below
As Within So without
As the Universe So the Soul…

Truths of life.
Life manifests itself the way you see it.
Your words thoughts and attitudes
Are powerful beyond your understanding.
As you intend, you co-create the path
The truth of life is within around and beyond you .
Your choice in free will matters
Your integrity of spirit and soul evolves along the way.
Action creates reaction which needs to turn to response in awareness.
Hurry or worry is simply a state of the mind and emotions which needs understanding to let go.
All is a work in progress
A continuation in the evolution.

When wisdom knocks it is never easy…
When wisdom knocks know its just the beginning
When wisdom knocks be ready to be challenged
When wisdom knocks know you are learning
When wisdom knocks know you are meant to learn
When wisdom knocks be open to understand
When wisdom knocks it opens many doors
When wisdom knocks know be ready to experience the now
When wisdom knocks be ready to dare
When wisdom knocks be ready to acknowledge
When wisdom knocks be ready to respect
When wisdom knocks be ready to witness
When wisdom knocks be ready to accept
When wisdom knocks be ready to gain
When wisdom knocks be ready to let go
When wisdom knocks know the value of balance
When wisdom knocks know your own equanimity
When wisdom knocks be ready to know your self
When wisdom knocks know there is something beyond your self
When wisdom knocks be aware of the greater purpose
When wisdom knocks become willing to understand beyond…
When wisdom knocks know it seeks you
When wisdom knocks know there is always a reason
When wisdom knocks trust yourself
When wisdom knocks keep the faith
When wisdom knocks know you are in the path of awakening.
When wisdom knocks be ready to accept responsibility
When wisdom knocks know you are strengthened in spirit and soul.
When wisdom knocks know you are on your path.
When wisdom knocks know you are blessed
When wisdom knocks know you are enough for you!.
There are many knocks of wisdom…
Each unique in its potential lesson
To learn to see the now in every moment
Every knock of wisdom leaves imprints in the spirit of the soul.
Are you ready?

To Dance is to live in the moment joyfully!
Happy New Year 2019 Keep Dancing
& Enjoy Living!!
Infinite moments are meant to happen;
No moment would ever be the same.
There is much within you
That can turn the way this moment feels.
Sometimes life can be challenging,
Making every moment difficult.
There can be pain and agony that may seem endless,
Or every moment may seem like a chore.
Yet, whatever the times that must pass us by,
How we feel, deep within is
In how we learn to take the moment.
In happiness and sorrow, in joy and pain
Allow the moment to manifest itself,
As it is meant to.
Don’t fight it; for as it comes, it shall go.
Remember nothing lasts forever.
In the river of time, these moments slip on
In the passage of time.
So, gear up to experience a brand-new moment
As every moment is a fresh start.
See every moment in goodwill of hope.
Awaken to the present moment
Because that’s what truly matters.
Life is how you live it

A few musings in continuation of yesterday’s post and its comments.
SHAPING ….Artwork by Savvy Raj
There is in the shape of things
A reason why,
Like the night and the day,

They say nothing is accidental.
There is always a shape to things,
A reason for design,
A reason for pain and pleasure,
A reason for order and disorder,
A reason for imbalance
As much for equilibrium,
A reason for the confusion in chaos
As much for emergence of clarity.
Photo by Jack Hawley on Pexels.com
One thing leads to another.
Patterns develop out of nothing into something.
Those who are in the front
Become guides for those who follow.

In the ensuing connections,
Forms take shape of things to come,
Matter combines to eloquently express
Succinctly amidst the brevity
Or in hyperboles of creation.
All is yet in symmetry.
Photo by Aman Bhatnagar on Pexels.com
Emotion emits acceleration.
Life destructs and creates in continuum
To evolve itself in the shape of things to come.

My recent poem ‘The Middle Path of Peace‘ evoked many responses. The following verses are my musings to a comment … Especially the one by a reader on the necessity of war.
I propose here a moment in peace
Through the following verses…
Hate is never meaningful, love is
War is never meaningful, peace is.
To confuse war to be the answer for peace
Is the greatest fallacy of mankind
For the war never truly ends once begun
It sprouts the seeds of hate before it is over.
Yes, wars are fought
When equality and freedom are forfeited
As a privilege of a few,
When oppression and chaos reign,
When pushed beyond resilience,
When backing down is not an option,
For it is, then, a matter of self-preservation and survival.
To confuse victory in war
Is the mark of inexperience.
No one returns from war unscathed.
Casualties are a heavy price to pay,
Let alone the truth of anguish and scars.
Wars are never the answer.
Pain and hurt leave vengeance behind
And revenge brews in spurts
To strike someday.
The heart of man is like a sponge,
Ready to absorb that which flows.
Allow the light of love to flow in;
Let thoughts of peace seep in
Through every vein.
For love heals the hurt and pain
And empathy helps move beyond revenge.
Make art of life and living
For war is just a never-ending tragedy.
Wars are fought for business, sadly.
There are no ethics to war.
To fight is not bravery.
True bravery is in finding a way
To avert the war and build peace.

The first step
Often the toughest
Taken at times in trepidation
Or in full deliberation.
Every little step
Makes a difference
For in every little move
Is a power that can change the world.
Keep tiny steps if you must
But remember every step in time
Takes you closer to your intentions
Make sure to envision the best
And march forward
In the direction of your dreams
Step up!
Savvy
A young writer friend from Africa had shared that she took a tiny leap of faith today in her own little way by sharing first video about her life.
Reading about it inspired me to write a message of hope and positivity to her. For her so called little step, truly will make a big difference to someone somewhere to take a step ahead in faith.
Success is a result of every bit of earnest endeavour in time.
And it all starts…
With the first step!
Savvy
The search for meaning
Is never in vain
There is always a meaning
To life and living.
One or a million reflections
May be more
At times can lead
To a miracle in the making.
One or a million drafts
May lead us to a perfect design
One or a million words
May be more…
Can bring on the inner genius
One or a million works of art
May be more…
Delivers a masterstroke.
Each step is of value
And somehow significant
To some one somewhere
As much as…
To the utimate whole!.
If something seems to be useless to one person, there is always a possibility of so many who may find it useful.
Savvy
Often profound meaning arrives from the most mundane and the so called ordinary moments in life and living. For the truth is out in the open but our overworked brain often misses these simple truths for it chooses to search for meaning in the complexities. But what is wonderful to know is that all is never lost… for every step makes a difference matters to the whole some how somwhere.
Walk on the path of love
A whiff of love
Roses strewn
The path of love
Beckons you
Tread softly
Gentle is the way
For love is fragile
Treasure a trust that
Beholds you!
Winding along
You feel its intensity
In its passion
Yet you persevere
Be unwavering!
Know love teases
And tests you
Beguiles you
To reveal
Yourself to you!
Be true!
For the journey
Is an eternal walk
Infinite is its path
Be yourself at best!
Be the real you!
For all else sheds itself
Like those petals strewn
To be, at best wayfarers
In the trysts of true lovers!

Change, the one that never changes
Is Nature’s way of continuing the Eternal cycle of life and death.
The Infinite Cosmic Energy, being the Eternal Centre
Changes keep on happening
In every atom, molecule, particle, and cell.
Thus widening the horizon,
From Invisible subtle to Visible gross.
Creation and destruction, a part of this change,
The various cycles of Life and seasons
Changing monotony to a variety
In mind and matter.
Colours and moods transient, every moment.
Wondering in awe to the moment next.
Dwell not in the past,
Fret not the Future,
Never to lose the Magic of the Present.
Each moment a new me is born.
Be present to cherish the Present.
Be aware n awake to witness
The blossom of bud to fragrant flower.

‘Your poems become my muse’. 😊.
This is what I received from my mother this morning after she read my yesterday’s post ‘ Glimmers of hope’.
‘Thank you, mom, for writing your reflections. It truly means much to me.’
Have simply added some pictures to go along with her words.

Warm woollies
Hot chocolate
Cups of cheer
Christmas Spirit
Jolly season
Giving and receiving
Autumn leaves
Barren trees
Icy peaks
Blizzards ring
Howling wind
Biting cold
Frozen river
Drifting snow
Spells of darkness
Awaiting the sun
After the snow
Melting glaciers
A glimmer of sun
Summer skies
Shining sun
Smiling faces
Warm welcome
Spring is here
Lush and abundant
Bounties harvest
Artists delight
Beautiful blossoms
Colours of spring
Arresting hues
Breathtaking scenery
Flourishing nature
Spring turns Summer
Rising temperature

Tasty treats
Sweltering heat
Icy popsicles
Slurping icecreams
Lime and lemon
Iced teas cold drinks
Quenching thirst
Parched earth
Dried lands
Blazing sun
Scorching sands
Sizzling days
Humid nights
Awaiting relief
Summer to rain
First shower
Fragrant earth
Heavenly delight
Rainy holidays
Feeling cool
Corn on cobs.
Cheap thrills
Small puddles
Splashing water
Rain coats and caps
Unfolding umbrellas
River on streets
Muddy water
Flooding roads
Chaotic confusion
Delayed trains
Traffic stops
People stranded
Rainy days turn dreary
All wet and weary
Hoping for relief
From incessant downpours
Awaiting a change
Of the Season in question
Life is circle
Of seasons in cycles
Each births and gives way
For another, on its way.
Amidst it all
Are those little glimmers of hope
Understated and unsaid
Unseen and unspoken
Little joys of being
That makes you make it…
Through yet another day.
These glimmers of hope
Though seasons may change
Hope is here to stay!
Savvy
Well, this one turned out to be a really long walk through the seasons!🙂 But seriously, as I started thinking of the changing seasons, with winter knocking our welcome door, I realised how much harsh winter could get for someone far away as well. So it goes for the other seasons…
Yet every season is a magical gift, and leaves us with glimmers of hope!
We do need our seasons to come and go like they always do, one after the other for then, all is well with our world. 🙂
Beautiful flower
Tell me your secret
How unassuming of you
To show up with so much beauty
All for a single day in the sun?
Beautiful flower
You paint a lovely picture
Of hope and positivity
Of endearing tenderness
That speaks much without a word.
Beautiful flower
Your colour makes my day better
Having seen you blossom in full glory.
You awaken a sense of purpose
In one and all relentlessly every day.
Beautiful flower
Your sight brings joy
Your touch gentleness
Your being fragrance
You are a sight to behold!
Beautiful flower
My heartfelt gratitude to you.
For bestowing us all, your grace of being.
Today and every day!

A few pictures that I clicked this morning in my terrace garden. I don’t know the names of these beauties but I do know they made me reflect with a certain gladness, simply partaking in a vision of their tender presence.
