Blank thoughts.

Blank thoughts. I squeezed in a bit of travel, while pondering the recent revelations on my name. I wont get into that now or again, but it had been a bit of an existential crisis and I was still reeling. …

It's all I got in my name.

It's all I got in my name. There’s the three cars and the apartments. Some savings in a few pension fund schemes and some furniture spread across a few friends' places. There's some cash, offshore, if I don't get to spend it all on a whim. I didn't put anything…

The green grass of home.

The green grass of home. I went into the room at the back of the house and I prayed for the anxiety to go away. I was hesitant in the packing. I wasnt looking forward to the trip but I needed to catch a grip. The winter had been cold and lonesome, and I had…

All that you cant leave behind.

All that you cant leave behind. The wildfire started with a feverish passion, razed the maize fields and left everything dead in its wake. We couldnt fight it, but we tried and we got exhausted and perspired. I had to travel to the wilderness. To give tributes and penance. I had left the door ajar. We…

I got my things and left.

I got my things and left. I took the clothes from the hangers. And some of my shoe collection, the jeans and the work clothes and some books, for company. And the t-shirts from all the different places that I had travelled to. I packed them. The night was coming. I put it all in the…

What if? / Prayers in between.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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…
