What if? / Prayers in between.
Its the silence, and sometimes I have to fight against it. To being more quiet, and for peace to be still in the stillness.
Each day is a fight for life, and to make it out to get to the next better day. …
The winter is past / The calm returns.
I was chatting to a former colleague on Twitter, she knew the work version of me from some years back. I was reacting to her classification of male Leos as being of a particular stereotype. It was a LOL moment.
In jest, I rejected the stereotype and made her aware…
Whose truth is it anyway?
That other time I wandered off and I started to reflect on Identity a lot. I got some books lately, and I have been holding court with some friends about our history and who we are and what we are becoming.
A few notes/chapters back, I recollected and published some…
I hope that you’re ok?
That other time I wrote about grief and the process of grieving. And I was in the spirit when those words came. A relative had passed on and I had a sudden recollection of who they were and what they had been to me.
And I was thinking that the…
Promises / And our feelings.
My dreams had stopped for a while since I arrived back in the North, from down deep in the interior of the South.
Im supposing that my people didnt travel with me on the aeroplane and they may have chosen to walk back up North rather than take indiza because…
The river flows / All this time.
There is a song yaka Sting. It goes:
“And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea

And I’d bury the old man
I’d bury him at sea"
I dont know what he means with these…
When they leave / Grief.
When times get tough and when it gets difficult, at any time, we have to strengthen our belief and our love of and for God.
We have lost friends. We have lost relatives, family members and relationships. Through it all, we lost our processes of grieving.
The deaths of all…
Keep the family close / For the Children.
I started thinking of a family as a “team". Sounds absurd perhaps, but I think there is something to think about there.
And I am saying "team" because you will remember that other time I said we need to start looking at ourselves in the context of teamwork and as…
Dont stay too long / Get close. (Curated)
Some stay too long, some leave too early in your life. It doesn't change your destiny, it changes theirs. Your destiny is not limited by how you were raised; it’s not limited by what level your parents reached.
God wants you to go further. Now get in agreement with Him…
Memories of the past / The Awakening.
Its interesting times that we are living in. I like how thina as this generation of abansundu are now gaining confidence not to tolerate colonially architectured laws and religions that previous generations were yoked to.
And it all comes from this Spiritual Awakening that I believe is happening around us.
