The world around us
Is interacting all the time
The way we choose
Becomes us.
And each of our choices
Through our intentions
Becomes deeds of our doing.
It’s all in us
In the thinking and intending
For the good of all
Beyond the self.

What to speak of charisma
That some have as an aura…
A way of being , a radiance
More than just their attitude
Or the way the carry themselves
A quality of the spirit of the soul
That magnetic quality beyond the physicality
That emanates joy and well being in Abundance
Without a single word…
Would you know someone like that?
Who comes to your mind?
Savvy
Today I thank in gratitude
The power of the mind
The heart and the spirit
Our body is blessed
With many gifts of the soul
Which we are yet discovering
The strength of intentions
The power of intuition
Of conscious awareness
In practice of mindfulness
Of possibilities in our potential
In the movements of stillness
In the stillness of moves
In the silence of meditation
All, in this journey within
Betwixt inside outside & beyond…

Imagination…
Lives not in the past or house of tomorrow
It is here very much in the now
It traverses along wherever whenever you choose to go.
It comes from you, within and beyond you.
It chooses nothing but opens to everything
It wants nothing for itself.
All it takes is your intention
And your awareness.

Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope.
Do share your thoughts on it.
“Her eyes wander to find him
Amongst a sea of faces
Knowing he is there somewhere
Hope is here to stay “
The first love
She was a teenager in love
For the very first time
She felt the joy
To express with all her heart
The joy of being with another
Two hearts so full of love
In a world all their own.
He wrote her poems
And read each one out loud
It was an idyllic love
Too good to be true
And in time life happened
And they parted ways
But the feelings still the same
Etched in memories
And never forgotten
No matter the ravages of time.
Yet life never stops for any one.
Life brings in beautiful moments
That makes life worth living
People come people go
But memories, last at eternity…
The Mother
She is old and wrinkled
Yet oft her memories rush
To that fateful day
When a trip to the beach
With friends and family
Changed her life forever.
For as the sun set on that day
In that crowded beach
She lost her only son
And the meaning to live on.
And to this day, in every crowd
Her eyes look out
Searching for her little son
In a sea of faces
No matter the river of time …
Life has its own challenges
For every life in the living
But hope is unending
For hope is here to stay.
Savvy
Sometimes what’s truly profound
Can be profoundly simple.
The strength of interconnects
Is about the strength in self support
In the world of design
What seems complex
Could be extremely simple.
In the way of interweave
In the intersection of the interconnects.
All is in the strength
In the sum of the intersections.

The Bridge of Safety
Leonardo Da Vinci’s Self Supporting Bridge. Leonardo Da Vinci was an artist, inventor and engineer in the 15th century. His vision and calibre of mind allowed him to comprehend the twin worlds of science and art; he has
often been described as the archetype of the “Renaissance man”, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention . He was a master of innovation, ingenuity and engineering.
He invented the self supporting bridge sometime between 1485-1487 to be used as an emergency bridge for troops in times of war. This unique design is held together by its own weight without requiring any ties or connections, in fact when a downward force is applied to the structure the braced members are forced to interlock and tighten together through the structural concepts of shear and bending. Da Vinci called it “The Bridge of Safety”.
There is always time
Time never is lack
Lack of patience
Is lack of time management
In lack of time
There is hurry
To make things happen fast.
Without deliberation
Confusion and tension sets in
Building up pressure
Creating doubts & distress
In the lack of coordination
A recipe for hasty decisions
Creating more waste
Of time, energy and resources
Along the way.
So think through
Haste not waste not.
Savvy
This now is a dance
Whirling in between
The then and the forthcoming
The sun moon and stars
Too make their presence felt
Swirling in their cosmic paths
This you is swaying to life
Listen keen as the sands sing
Hear the whistling winds
They like you have a reason to be
In this now being where they are
Just like you right here in this now.
Savvy
How different is the view
From every angle in sight?
What makes it so stark in contrast
And so varied in interpretation?
How the colours of life change?
How easy it is to believe,
What you see as the truth,
That nothing else could be reality?
What you see from the mountain
Is different from the plain.
The eyes are the same.
But the perception is different.
Savvy
I came across these lines this morning…
We either make ourselves miserable ,
or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same
— Carlos Castaneda —
Questions for the self
What are your thoughts like?
What is the work you do making you feel?
What is the energy you sense ?
Are you feeling strengthened by it?
Your answers will reveal much to you.
Savvy
Every thing that interests you
Every word that you choose to hear & say
Every book you choose to read
Every thing you choose to do
Every place you choose to be
Is an open book of yourself
Your choices come from you
You have it all within
In your choices is a dimension
Of your own truths.
Embedded with in you
Awaiting emergence.
You manifest your own way.
Savvy
In the most difficult time
Keep the faith & have patience
Continue to do the best you can.
Trust yourself to find light.
Savvy
With me rests my choices
My focus and determination
My passionate dedication
To all that I can do.
Within me is a heart
Capable of kindness
And gratitude for limitless love…
With capacity to forgive.
Within me is the spirit of will
And effort to do my best
With all I have in self belief
And the strength of perseverance.
With me is my ability
To set my boundaries
Express in my own way
That I am enough for me.
Savvy
Can you believe in the beauty
Of light in the night,
As much as in the day?
For night becomes a background
Receding for the light to shine
Brightly the hope that it emits.
Fear not the darkness of night
For it leads the way to light.
