The secret to thriving in life and living
Is in nurturing the very qualities
That creates wellbeing
In ourselves and around us
Generating goodwill
Strengthens the interconnections
Helping create a more resilient world
Empowered in empathetic humanity
Than just the survival of the fittest.
Savvy
Life can never thrive in suppression
Or in denial and disapproval.
Or control and criticism
Choose to appreciate and approve.
Let go of the nagging and niggles.
Let go of judgements, fear and worry
Life is in each of us just the same.
Nurture life to live.
Engage with it lovingly
Life can be beautiful!
Live and let live.
Savvy
Amidst the flurry of thoughts
There is a space in the sensing
That heals the hurt and embalms
The spirit of the soul
To recover and rejuvenate
In this invisible space is the secret
Of knowing there is always an answer
To every doubt and confusion
In this space is a silent knowing
Of serenity of wisdom
In hope beyond the reigning chaos
All things happen in good time
Is knowing the power of patience
And the strength of good faith.
There is every reason to believe
In this space, our soul thrives.
Savvy
It’s often good to remember
You are born to live.
Not live because you are born.
Keep living than just existing.
Keep hope alive in your heart.

I love the power of these words.
So profoundly inspiring that I had to share.
“I choose gentleness…
Nothing is won by force.
I choose to be gentle.
If I raise my voice may it be only in praise.
If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.
If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.”
Max Lucado
Truly beautiful and I deeply appreciate the profound strength of gentleness.
Gentleness is strength of the being
Rendered with softness
It is the power of compassion
That cares to bring the truth
Correcting the tone with care
So that it is well received.
Gentle are bravehearts
Without violence.
A gentle soul intends in goodwill.
Gentleness is a way of life
The path of the gentle
May not be easy
Being gentle is a choice you make.

Nature is so full of play
Creation speaks much for itself
In myriad patterns of formations
In countless whorls of leaves
An abundance of arresting artistry
Interspersed with wisdom of the creator
To discover in the learning
To understand and appreciate
Undeniable is the creators joy
In the manifestations of colours
Juxtaposed with unbelievable designs
All in such effortless grace
And what to speak of fragility
Of the tender blossoms of life
That emote so much inspirations
All endowed with the creators grace.
Spirals of enigmatic flow
Of magnanimous expressions
As much as the subtlety in self similarity
Leaving imprints of sublime divine.
Fractal patterns of nature
Infinite abundance, infinite energies
Infinite potential, infinite possibilities
Nature speaks the art of creation.
Savvy
Nature teaches us much
The first lesson
Nature is patient and never in a hurry
All takes its course in time
As a blooming bud
As a fragile flower
You cannot force them to flower
Patience and perseverance is the key
Nature is abundant
It gives and receives
The beauty of nature
The fruits of nature
Is its gift.
It bears much too
Nature is full of resilience
Teaching lessons of living
So full of grace and dignity
And yet…
The third lesson
Nature balances itself
Time to time
When life gets too tilted
Nature plays on
Its courses through
And unearths its fury too!
Never tamper with nature
For nature exacts much
Unleashing its wrath
To beget its equilibrium
Treat nature well
Both inner and outer
For every thing is part of nature
And nature will thrive.
Savvy
I dream of spaces…
Up in the hills
Over the dales.
Where the lofty mountains
Glisten as the sun shines over them.
Where the fluff of clouds
Glides and waltzes through and over them.
I dream to be…
Amidst the dancing clouds
And the valley so green
Echoing the peace so rare today
Endless spaces so vast and open.
Fragrance of flowers swaying so free
Shimmering sunlight over the lake .
I dream to be…
Where the cool winds blow
Walking through meandering meadows.
Watching the glistening blades of grass
Breathing the fresh mountain air
And rejuvenate the spirit once more.
Savvy
Yes… the reality is stark
Deforestation everywhere
Forest fires and climate changes
Disappearing rain forests
Global warming, polar vortex
Extinction of rare species
Food and medicine adulteration
Air water and noise pollution
Materialism leading to corruption
Repercussions of rising terrorism
Mismanagement and misconduct
Leading to apathy and war
Exposure from radiation
Indifference on an all time high
Alarming toll from disasters
Both natural and man made.
Is this what we have done with our life?
Time is slipping by, to make a difference
In being concerned, to save our world
To become a responsible world citizen.
Making some changes to our lifestyle
Supporting and sustaining green living
Volunteering our lifeskills
For our environment needs us now.
In taking time out to help out
Much can be done by each of us!
Manage available resources
Reduce recycle and reuse.
Learn to sustain and support it
Plant trees and reduce emissions
Nurture the world with care
For nature is listening!
Savvy
Every step towards a more caring kinder world matters!
Each of us can do much from wherever we areAll it needs is awareness and action
In responsible ways
That helps and heals our world
Yes its truly hightime to nurture our mother nature!Savvy
On the interconnects of nature and nurture.
I am fond of nature. I enjoy witnessing and understanding the development of life and its interconnectedness. I also happen to love reading and reflecting about life and its potential possibilities. It provokes thought on the origins of nature and nurture. Be it life in a seed or a plant or a fruit or a human and the relationship with the environment.
Seeds that are sown and reaped depend on many factors Those are what induce the nature of seeds its distinct characteristics.
Yet at times these very factors also play truant that even with the so called right conditions and everything under control, the consequences are devastating.
They may detoriate or stay stunted or stagnate and wither on their own without a clue. So what is it about seeds that never grow…Perhaps they are just not ready as yet and need more time or they are exposed to more than they can handle!
Or they are just nutrient dense which clogs, or even conditions like too much water and sun . Or they are preys to parasitic predators as we speak .
On another parallel speaking of parents and children here I am reminded of what is called helicopter parenting style the kind that almost end up hovering over their children, which just doesn’t leave any room for kids to grow on their own.
Everything needs space and balance of elements to grow and sustain well.
To germinate on its own and explore possibilities in trial and error.
The sweetest of fruits may hold the truth of their upbringing.
The bitterness in fruits could have developed along the way in the way they were handled or induced with pesticides that makes them poisonous to the consumer .
Difficult conditions leave an imprint on them that in time could alter their very nature and characteristics. But it is simply clear that the effects of good nurture in nature yields positive results.
So many questions we could pose to ourselves in our search for a better tommorow for us all!
Our wellbeing is our responsibility as life is a gift . Let us find collectively work at finding solutions that work in evolving our selves for the better than self destruct our beautiful world .
Just care to remember
Be it a flower, a tree an animal or a human being
Life thrives in nurture with the cultivation of right care and attitude.
