In the stillness of the now
Is a divine orchestration.
Of the rapturous flow
Of the beauty of nature
And its wonder in awe!
All is peace All is well!

Prep Matters
According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence:
1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)
- Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons.
- Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.
- Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.
People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.
A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.
Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ and SQ.
Now there is a 4th one, a new paradigm:
- The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and come out of it without losing your mind.
When faced with troubles, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon their family, and who will consider suicide.
Parents please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports and Arts.
Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.
Finally, do not prepare the road for your children. Prepare your children for the road.”

Poets & Planning
My friend Ali Anani from Jordan proposed an interesting question last evening.
“As a poet dear Savvy I just wonder how much do you trust planning?”
Here are my musings…
Poets and Planning
A poet has a lot of structuring to do…
The poet steps out of the box
Knowing only too well that thoughts needs to align in time.
Without trust in the divine plan there is no way the poet can create.
And without a plan that visualizes the bigger picture as much as the little details, the verse will not make sense.
So poets and planning have much to do in trustfulness.
Now speaking personally,
Spontaneity seems to surge
In the throes of a thoughwave.
Yet much is happens in following the flow.
Synergies are sensed
In the amalgamation and associations.
Of thoughts into verses.
As words then fill the void spaces
Making meaning out of matter.
Spontaneity too then is preordained in the divine plan
And poets are simply messengers
Enriching thoughts in a meter of sorts.
To make the ordinary words come alive!

On Kindness
If only we could realize how valuable it is to be appreciated and supported .
If we could only know how important it is to feel inclusive in our diverse ways.
We must understand that love and kindness is the only way besides adopting a non-judgmental approach.
We must realise how vulnerable life is, but beyond feeling victimized and create further suffering due to negative thoughts
We need to respond with empathy, show unity through kindness and compassionate deeds.
The power of kindness is truly infinite.
KINDNESS IS THE PRAYER IN ACTION.

Evolving Consciously

Titled: Interconnectedness
When we realise the Eternity of time in the Circle of Life we will be able to see beyond the illusory perceptions… And most of all accept and respect the significance of every being in the cosmos as they are…
Each of us here is divinely orchestrated towards the purpose of our being, strengthened by the Circle of Interconnects that run deeper than we can fathom …. we may not need all the answers that we seek but they are always there with us for us to understand.
If we must seek… Let us Seek Connectedness,
If we must awaken… Let us Awaken the Spirit of Being
If we must move, Let us Move with Empathy in Action
If we must choose Let us Choose the Simplicity of Authenticity
If we must rest… Let us Rest with Contentment
If we must pursue… Let us Pursue Thankfulness in Gratitude
If we must strive…Let us Strive for Patience and Tolerance
If we must fight… Let us Fight Apathy and Ignorance
If we must reach …Let us Reach out with Kindness
If we must become …Let us Become a Better version of Us!

Attitude of Appreciation
True Appreciation nurtures
The nature of the individual.
Care to nurture an attitude
Of true appreciation and share
Whenever and wherever you deem fit.
It doesn’t hurt to appreciate in authenticity
You might be surprised by melting walls.
And at work how teams bond along the way.
Savvy
On Gentleness
Words of wisdom from a gentle soul.
Nothing of this nature is our own
We cannot claim it as ours
As the world has existed beyond any of us
We come to this world for a while
We owe it more than we own it
Our deeds speak for themselves
And time tells the truth of living.
Our responsibility lies with ourselves
The way we choose to live every day
A little compassion in consciousness
A loving acknowledgement in awareness
For the burdens on mother nature
Goes a long long way
In sustaining the world we have.

Dance of Connection
Universal Oneness is an awareness
In reflections of the truth of the being
Interweaved and interconnected in every life .
Strength shines through the vulnerabilities.
As a power in the very fragility
Touched by divine grace
Enmeshed in the senses
Fired in the cauldron of life and living
Comes a consciousness of the flow
In and around us
Beyond the illusion of separation.
Is the dance of connection.

The Good Today
Notice the good
Sometimes the simple act of noticing something good can make all the difference…
Trust there is always more
Than what your eyes can see
In the sensing and the knowing
The yet undiscovered good manifests
Right before you for you to notice.
Savvy
On Abundance
Allow life to manifest its infinite abundance.
Live life lovingly!
Savvy
On Success
History is replete with stories
Of both success and failures
In the circle of life and living.
Defeats can be lifes greatest learnings
Of being able to face failures.
Great thinkers ,scientists, sportsmen
Handle many defeats before true success.
Failure can be a great teacher
Of what to expect on the road to success.
It can make success feel sweeter.
Success is in each of us
Awaiting a discovery
An unearthing of potential
To sense life’s possibilities
True success is the knowing
In your heart of contentment
Of a life well lived and loved
Success is who you are
Savvy
On Focus
Focus is being totally present in this now…
Staying true to this present moment calls for attention and focus, inspite of the arising challenges in life & living.
If you can acknowlege life challenges as they come you will accept most pressures are buildup of anxieties about the future state and remembered failures from the past.
So as you play your game in this present moment, you are in your optimum best as there is no pressure actually.
As you evolve know that life is simply working its best to evolve your consciousness in its optimum way.
Your experiences along the way may be a stepping stone for furthering you on your journey in the evolutionary consciousness.

Compassion Connects
Circles of compassion
Creates connections
Bonding boundlessly
From the heart.
Everything flows from love
Creating synergies in synchrony
Between strangers strengthened
In these compassionate connects.

Bliss of the bless
In sensing the tranquillity within
In knowing the sounds of silence
In flowing freely in the moment
Is the song of wonder and awe
Of the beauty in the being …
In the bliss of the bless.
Savvy
I see…
I see…
A borderless world
Overflowing abundance
In the kindness of being.
Beyond assumptions
Notions & judgments
In fear and confusion
Over man made division.
The beauty of creation
Survives the human frailties.
The world without borders
Is one of awe and intrigue
Of all pervading consciousness.
Of manifestations beyond compare
Of artistry beyond words
All strewn for us to sense
In the tapestry of life.
