The sun and moon
We see from afar
Have much to do with us
Influencing our way of life
Our nature and deeds
Our dreams and destiny
Even the stars in the sky
In that moment we were born.
Time is a circle
And its truly wonderful to know
It’s all deeply connected.

As love conquers you it blesses you in the knowing. Make not a mockery of love Serenade love and allow it to speak truth. Love surfaces from the depth of emotions To mend you and this world to a better place. Savvy
On Love
The day you realize
Your potential
You begin to explore possibilities
And you even make
The impossible possible.
Care to ask yourself…
Are you safeguarding your boundaries
Or being too accepting
That you tolerate more than you truly should.
What are you hoping for?
Is it approval and validation
Are you waiting for another
To take the step?
Perhaps you need to celebrate You.
Who you are! As you are…

The child they say is the father of the man. Question yourself How you were as a child… How was your childhood? Here is a little self reflection tool in understanding the self. Think of yourself as a child, what age do you imagine yourself to be in? Write down words that come to you when […]
Self Reflection
Crossed the midstream
The shore is a swim away
The body takes its toll
Yet the spirit is willing
To ride through
And grace the shore.
On touching ground
The horizon beckons
Over the hills and dales
In the sands of time.
Trust your life
To unfold the way…
When you feel you are done
Life has just begun.
Savvy
P.S
I share my prompted artwork with Ai, here again, as I feel it somehow comes together and somehow makes perfect sense with the verses.
The concept of having space
Between things is a wisdom
A wisdom that creates balance.
Between thoughts
Between words.
Between songs are silent spaces
Between breaths exist space that bridges the inhale and exhale.
Between life
Be it trees , flowers or animals
Space allows it to grow…
Between people
Space allows for freedom to be to express and share
Boundaries create respect and safety
Creating healthy relationships.
Allowing for rest and regenerate
With peace of mind, body and spirit.
A question then arises…
How much space do you need
To protect your peace?
And how much space do you give
To sustain the peace?

Who is our type?
Why does our brain become immediately choosy, including some as ours and excluding some as others?
What makes some our type?
When we meet and connect with a new face, what is it that immediately draws or repels?
Is there more to it, than first impressions, communication skills or body language?
Does our brain genetically program itself to select on auto pilot?
For we often classify and categorize subconsciously as a way of choices we make.
Who is our tribe?
Who is outside ?
We are hardwired
With the safety metric.
Our mirror neurons simulate
emotional states of being
in others we meet.
When inner rhythm sense resonance
there is a instant vibe
aligning us in a circle of unsaid understanding.
Such pattern recognition is primitive,
a tool for survival
for flagging safe and unsafe connection.
A lot happens in a split second …
A combination of sorting
Processing the past connects
Sensing and interpreting
Gut feeling & intuition
Simplifying complex somatic movements markers.
In recognizing the effortless ease and comfort
Or the discord that creates repulsion.
Categorizing a stranger
Is a matter of survival…
Would u agree?

In the vastness of the dark A single candle makes a difference It illuminates and creates interest It draws attention and focus For it casts a riveting spell It attracts life towards it For it is light of life itself. Light and dark Fill the void With their own potential There is much that is […]
Light of Life.
This one is a micropoem that sparked from the words… Where light shines’.
When you turn your face
Towards the sun…
Where does the shadow fall?
Where does light shine?
Shine on …

I enjoy simplifying complexity
For I do believe simplicity
Is just complexity turned upside down
And perhaps knotted and twisted at times.
All it needs is an untangling.
In thoughts words and deeds.
While the mind may play games
Simply speaking from the heart
Seeing with the heart
Feeling the sensations that emnate from the heart
Will release the unnecessary knots
And create a path of clarity.

Today my mornings photography muse is this beautiful white hibiscus tenderly unfurling itself in the green foliage..I simply had to click a picture…
There is so much peace
That a white blossom emits
A sense of spirituality
Pervades in its unfurled petals
A guest for just a single day
Who better than this bloom
Gracing my garden today
To teach the truths of life.
Of living life lovingly
Garnering the wisdom of changes
Of impermenance
Its petals. proud & present
In this precious now.
Without worries of tommorow
So much dignity in its beauty.
Perhaps it understands
Transience of nature
In the phases of life
Only too well
While it blooms in peace.
Savvy
From the darkness of night
Emerges the light of dawn.
From the brink of despair
Rises a ray of hope.
When all feels lost in a maze
A way out appears somehow
When doubts creeps in the cracks
Trust opens the heart in faith
When you realise how much can be at stake
You value the gift of another day.
What a difference a day can make…
Savvy
Space.
Space allows.
Space that expands
Space that acknowledges you.
Space that lets you be.
Space that opens up for you
Space that speaks to you in you.
Space that listens as it speaks
Space that evolves you
Space for growth and learning
Space that liberates
Space frees
Space.
I wrote this piece in a flow…
In a space of calm.
I enjoyed writing it as I began playing with space in and around the poem unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.
I hope you enjoy reading it.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the nature of the land? Do you sense the sandstorm? Do you see the vivid colours of the womens clothes juxtaposed against the barren land? Do you see them huddle together taking refuge with no where to go? This picture evokes emotions. The wind, the women […]
