Give credit, when and where credit is due
Shy not from appreciation.
Neither in giving nor taking.
If you see something that makes you feel like appreciating…
Do so immediately, don’t wait for another day.
For authentic appreciation can transform the world for the receiver.
Words matter, a great deal
Say words that mean well
Let there be no ambiguity
When you mean well
Let your words drive the message home.
All is well in clarity of communication.

Our world is not so perfect
Yet it must go on
And Ants know it best
They work as a team to solve their own set of problems.
All fingers of a hand are different
All are meant to be for a purpose that is not yet visible.
Yet much can happen in coordination & collaboration.
When one that is weak is supported by the stronger.
There is a semblance of balance
In this ball of blue.

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 thought wave.
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!
Savvy
Power of one candle to light the darkness
Power of one tree to give shade
Power in one smile to change the mood
Power of one hand to feed the hungry
Power of one kind word to change hearts
Power of one heart to ignite hope in the world
Power of one touch to lift the soul
Just one heartfelt move… makes all the difference!
Creativity flourishes in moving beyond the box stepping out of the emerging collages in the interpretation, time and time again.
Every creative endeavour is rooted in a dance of the energy within and around us … the dynamics of integration embodies the creative output.

Titled: Interconnectedness
We are unique beings
With our own mind& body
Yet if we are to wonder…
How much of who you are
Is in all authenticity you
And how much is another’s perspective
Just all mixed up with yours?
The truth is that we are deeply influenced
In the interconnections of life and living
Every thing we see and do
We are intersecting and interweaving with others
So much so that what they like or hate
May becomes yours in belief in the influences.
Nothing is yours or others any more
Such is the transparency in living
That we are truly closer to ourselves
In realizing the profoundness of life itself
As it manifests in the mirroring
Of intentions arising in the imagination
Of illusions in the sensing
I am another you…
For after we are reflections in the resonance
Savvy
Our truth
There is difference between living life as in ‘everyday’ as if it is’ every day’!
Everyday is ordinary or typical
But seeing it as every day is ‘each day’
Embrace the gift of this day
Every day is a fresh new start
Make it matter.
Live life well
Savvy
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.

Art often shakes up the statuesque
Of possibilities in perceptions.
Chipping away the apparent notions Chisselling to reveal what is yet to be seen
It’s an acknowledgement
Of the myriad expressions in the illusions
Between the you and I
As much as the imagined beyond
Art makes forays into the unfamiliar
Unfolding new vistas from familiar
Opening new doors of understanding.
Envisioning the magic in & around us.
Savvy
Keep being the best you can be
Keep the hope alive in your heart
Keep sharing the light with in
There is much in every one of us
That inspires the world around
Keep living and keep inspiring.
Savvy
On Tranquillity
In sensing the tranquillity within
In knowing the sounds of silence
In flowing freely in the moment
Is the space of wonder and awe
Of the beauty in the being …
In the bliss of the bless.
Savvy
Blooming in my terrace garden…
Roses have a beauty of their own
Colours contrasting with the green leaves
They blossom and capture hearts
Arrestingly captivating
To look at, enticingly fragrant
So delicate and fragile
But in all their vulnerability
Their charm flows in abundance
Always a sight to behold!
Amazingly significant,
For a life so short lived.
Such is the wonder of life and living
Amazing nature! Amazing beauty!
Teaching us it is not the length of time we live , but in how best we can live the time we have!
Savvy
Walk in this now in time
Tune into its current frequency
Listen to it gratefully
And live it well and wholeheartedly.
Allow the worries to fade into the past
As you cannot worry for what is gone
Allow the future to manifest in course
As you cannot hurry time by force.
All is fine as it truly is
All is well as its meant to be
In the realm of times
Between the you and the me.
So as only time can truly tell
Walk with me
Not before and not after
Walk with me in this now.
Savvy
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.
