Life is an expression of the soul…
The soul goes through life
Like a rough diamond that gets polished
The body & mind take a toll
Many times over in a lifetime.
To shine like a diamond does.
In the shaping & moulding
Through the experiences
Garnering wisdom in the living.

Energy is where attention is
Make sure you check
Where your attention is
It is simple… In every now
Make sure you take care
To thrive in this journey of life.
Stay focused on the road of life…
So you may flourish on these pathways
Savvy
I listened to my heart
Every day
As it shares from within
And I write them out as words
Sometimes as verses
At times it’s 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 always something more.

Why walk in shadows of dark
When light is just around the bend.
Walk in light
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.
Trust your inner light to show you the way.
Love the light that you actually are!
Savvy
This world…
Needs no pity
That feels sorry
Nor sympathy
That feels pain.
For feeling sorry
Or sensing pain
Will not solve
The issues at hand.
What one life truly needs from another…
Is empathy
To understand and relate with one another.
And compassion
That cares to help heal.
Whenever wherever
the dialogue changes
From I feel sorry,
To I will help you
Because I care…
The world will be a better place.
For action speaks louder than words.
Savvy
There is a time and reason for every season
For if all the seasons manifested together
There would be calamity.
There is always a reason to things
To questions and answers
If every lifes purpose asserted itself in this now.
There would be no tommorow…
Life is meant to go on
To live and learn
To explore and discover
To hope and await
To look forward to…
So acknowledge the learnings that happen
In a lifetime…
All at the right time.
Savvy
We are what we believe ourselves to be
Our perceptions make all the difference
To become what we begin to understand.
In the sands of time…
We are ours perceptions,
Illusive yet mattering in existence.
As life and living.
We are reflections in the illusions
As much as illusions in the reflections.

One moment of anger
Can wreak havoc on your health
Take a moment to pause
When you sense anger
Make a habit to breathe
Out your anger
Inhale a breathe of peace
And exhale the anger away…
For both cannot coexist.
Make space for peace within.
“Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Breathe in peace
Exhale out anger
Inside you, let peace prevail
Over moments of anger…
Savvy
We are strings of matter
Asserting ourselves in the giant spindle of time.
A string
Is meant to connect
It is also to be a bridge of bonding
Like a string of pearls
To string is to align with a purpose.
We are divinely connected in the subtler realms
To the infinite strings of matter.
Yet in the physical realm
We hold the strings to many
We pull these strings at times too lightly or forcefully
And what was meant to be for alignment , instead creates imbalances.
The strings we hold or latch onto
The strings that are passed into our hands
And the strings we want to control
All have a deep significance to the way we were are, we are and what our future will be…
Care to acknowledge our stringed existence in the interconnects.
Aspire to untangle the threads yet value the rootedness therein.
Aim to reach beyond the shackles of being
Unlearn to learn
Reach beyond knowing.
Life heals as its aligns and manifests the truth of its own potential.

Power of Water
Gentle yet forceful
Soft yet unstoppable
Focused no matter the fluidity
Carving streams eroding rocks
Strengthened in adaptability
Transformative in the flow.
Harness the power of the flow

On Sensitivity
Every life is unique
And each of us on this planet
Have different personality traits
Our heart and mind is wired
In infinitely different ways.
An acknowledgment of the uniqueness to life
Makes us understand how valuable we each can be.
A little sensitivity goes a long way…
Although people cannot be compartmentalised
There are many ways nature and nurture impacts
Some hardened by life in resilience
Some suppress their emotions
Causing imbalances within
Some sensitive to sense the subtler energies
And Some who wear their heart on their sleeves
Expressing emotions and feelings away…
It can be challenging
For they also hurt easily.
For they sense a flood of emotions
They are often extremely receptive
As well as empathic in their sensing.
And often quick to understand
Perhaps they are blessed with subtlety
Of perception & awareness
With a highly developed intuition
For they are sensitive & emotional beings
They are who they are as they are.
Sensitivity can be blessing in disguise
Yet Sensitivity makes us humane
In the way we relate with the world
The planet needs sensitive souls
Who care a little more
Who sense and feel in empathic ways.
Let’s never discount this gift & virtue
In these sensitive souls.
For how we sense and feel
Affects what path and actions we choose to take.
And the world around is but a reflection of who we are
Savvy
There is great power
In being yourself
You will know
You are enough
To be all that you are
Be you
That’s what u are meant to be
When you arrive at being comfortable being yourself,and in front of others, your gifts will shine through and you will make a positive impact on this world.
All it takes is being the authentic you!
Savvy
On Letting go
If you are feeling upset
Let time pass
Hurts will heal again
If you are angry
Let there be pauses
Anger will recede in the silence
If you are defeated
Let yourself know
That the world is a circle
The night breaks into a new dawn
With promises of a blessed new day!
So stay patient in perseverance
And know every phase has a reason to be
Learn to forgive and let go
And as all is meant to be well once again.
Writing is often a very cathartic experience.
Sometimes people unknowningly say things that hurt or upset another.
Today was one of those days. I chanced upon one of my old poems on letting go in forgiveness and it made much sense. I was able to move beyond simply by acknowledging the truth in those verses.
I simply had to share…
Savvy
A great share to remind yourself to check your current state of being. .
If only happiness can be summed up…
How easy it would seem!
But happiness can be elusive
When summoned it is often fleeting
But being able to take stock of your being
Will keep you aware
Of how much happiness is an inside job…
Savvy
You have everything you need
To survive this journey of life
Your every doubt & confusion
Can find in you resolution…
Why search all around?
When the answers rests within
Seek if you must,
In faith & trustfulness
That you will receive
All that you need
At the ordained moment.
