In the Midst of Darkness

14 Comments

Catastrophic events, trials, tribulations,

Flows in the part of life,

A necessity it is,

Encapsulating darkness to give rise to destruction.

Fought at the war front to break it into fragments,

Rebuffed, declined, refused,

Light is unleashed when the capsule cracks open.

 

Skin filled with filth of darkness,

Tossed away with spiritual cleansing,

Like the waves washed the shore.

A bright new skin is given birth to,

And Light comes forth.

 

in the midst of darknessThe heart corrupt with evil,

Calling forth darkness to overtake,

Will break open and through the eyehole shall light find it’s way in,

And shall call out the darkness,

To love, kindness, peace, togetherness, humility.

 

Nations engulfed with war,

Killings, Kidnappings, Abuses,

Why fill your domain with darkness?

Nothing good comes out of it,

Why seek for the power of the dark side?

Rebuke it, let it be banished,

Receive light for it will take you to the higher side.

 

Darkness and light have no place together

I hug light tightly to my bosom,

For darkness not to prevail.

Because I belong to the light,

I will not be overshadowed,

World overwhelmed by darkness is for a while,

Light will show forth, it cannot be consumed,

It can never be consumed.

We call out to light in one accord and embrace it like a child.

Almost 50-Live a life Everyday

21 Comments

I was at the shopping mall and decided to indulge myself with lunch after the whole shopping spree. There I sat down at a small round table far away from where I could be disturbed. I looked up and there I saw a nice-looking mature man take a few steps towards me and he said to me across the tiny table, ” young lady, can I join you please,” I answered politely ” yes please.”

A few minutes later he said to me, ” you know… today is my fiftieth birthday,” I opened my mouth in amazement because I really don’t quite know how to put, he looked much older than his age, I told him politely with a smirk across my face, ” wow that’s nice- Happy Birthday,” 

While we had lunch quietly he stopped and said to me, ” I wish I had more fun when I was a lot younger,” and he went on chatting, “It looks to me now like time passed by while I was put on hold. I’ve decided regardless of all the pressures I’m under,  I will henceforth make this year one of celebration and certainty for myself”.

I actually didn’t know how to respond to that, then I told him you don’t have to regret anything because it’s not too late for you to have the fun of your life. I gave him a few TIPS on what to do, he thanked me for the piece I gave him with a grin all over his face, I simply got up and took my leave.

Let me know if you think I’m crazy, if you want to do any of this things with me or if you’ve already done them and have some tips. I’m determined to make each day of my life pretty awesome and making these goals public I believe is a good first step for me to get on the right path.

This brings us to the point where we need to acknowledge that those of us not yet fifty years of age should “live every day as if it were the last” even those that are fifty and above.

Things I would love to do:

  • I would love to turn off the internet for a week. I want to know how that would feel like. No twitter, no Facebook, no Instagram, no whats app. I think that sounds nice.

 

  • I would love to travel to Canada, Australia and ancient towns in China.

 

  • I don’t know how my guy would feel if he reads this, the truth is I so much wish I would have a set of triplets.

 

  • I wouldn’t want to be a salary earner for the rest of my workable life.

 

  • Having a date with VIN DIESEL would be a delight for me. I would cherish that forever!

 

  • I have two stories I’ve written, I don’t really know what’s stopping me from publishing them, I would be glad to start by pushing them out there.

 

  • I would love to buy my dad a BRAND NEW JEEP.

These are a statistics of my goals in life, my thoughts and my passions. I’ve put it all out now. Let’s see what happens…

Dealing with Heartbreak

21 Comments

My life is over,“I can’t move on without you”, desperate, confused; You ask yourself, “what have I done wrong?” These are the expression of pains you feel and questions asked when you are heartbroken.

You are not the only one in this TRAUMATIZING situation, it’s part of life experiences, it only strengthens us to face the bigger challenges coming our way, it is non negotiable.

“You can’t keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on.”
- Dan Castellaneta.

The good news is that there’s someone else out there perfectly made for you, to accept you….fat, short, poor, beautiful, attractive, slim-whichever one describes you.

Giving up doesn’t mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go, the right person might just be lurking around the corner, waiting for you- eddaz

If you know it makes you feel better to speak to everyone you know about it, then do it but don’t forget to let go of that feeling and move on…..you might fear that things will never be okay– I promise you from the bottom of my heart that they will be okay again. Concentrate your attention on love within you and not on your break up. There is a better life out there with someone else or it might just be a test of faith.

“Sadness flies on the wings of the morning and out of the heart of darkness comes the light.” – Jean Giraudoux.

This goes out to my Facebook friend and other folks out there feeling sad and very empty right now, we have all been through one form of break up or the other and the good news is that it has brought out a better personality from the experience we had and some of us have been the initiator of the heartbreak which has definitely put the victim on the right path, it’s all part of life…

Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together-Unknown.

I really hope it makes you feel better, stay happy, you will be fine!!!

Layers of Thy Journey

10 Comments

Journey granted,

Overwhelming emotions of blissfulness,

Imperfect, unstable, humanistic I was.

 Dissected layers of trials in trust to me,

I had little knowledge of,

Which befell my course.

I presumed, dared with so much confidence,

Amazing how far I have gone without noticing,

Segments have grown tall into the amazon.

Satisfaction not remitted,

but emitted,

Grudgingly I step,

not stumbling,

but humbling.

Still on the path to clinched victory.

Opposite Birds

7 Comments

He prefers to be on land posing to impress the tourists rather than hanging out and feeding with other birds on the water. It seemed strange to me back then what sort of bird it was with such a long beak; still does. He’s completely opposite to the other birds in the picture.
