Dead Skin!

-
She swayed her arms as she paced briskly,
Her mind replaying the day's activities.
Her failed attempt to keep him from falling conjured up involuntarily.

Her arm got stuck on the machine beside her.
Hastily, she pulled out her hand and did a shoddy work.
A huge part of her flesh was chomped off.

"Ewwwww!" She exclaimed.
Angrily, she kicked her foot against the machine.
"What is all this?" She inquired.

Her yoga classes somehow found its usefulness today.
Her mind flashed back on how not to dwell on her present circumstance.

She called herself to order and allowed for the injury to be.
Prior to this occurrence, she always delighted in striping her skin when either hungry or bored.

Today,
She peeled it off,
And it wandered into her mouth.
While she chewed,
It occurred to her that it had the taste of frustration and defeat.


Same goes with life, we chew on dead things and expect freshness.
Do we accept defeat and refuse to rise?
What happens if we let go and allow for unhindered growth?

Allow the dead bury the dead.

Healing is unnegotiable.

Remain in good health(physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally).

Faith, for the rubies.

    Brilliant. Got me glued in suspense. Sometimes we just have to let some things go, holding on to them only makes it heavier to carry. Thanks Faith.

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

Knowledge

A pleasant afternoon to you. How do you do? On today's post, knowledge is said to be appealing. Here's why... Sound knowledge is a venture not everyone is willing to invest in . Knowledge, they say is power, but what are you willing to pay for its acquisition? Everyone, or rather, majority of folks love to be associated with individuals who are vast and deep versed. However, we fail to make enquiries as to how such a feat was acquired. We would rather appreciate the outcome, than emulate the means. Recently, I confided in a friend my inability to prepare 'starch', a native meal of my motherland. He did well to remind me of the wealth of knowledge embedded in Google. Shamefacedly, I promised myself to look up the recipe for the meal. Don't ask if I have looked it up. How many opportunities to accumulate knowledge have we passed up? Or just when would you realize how powerful a person with knowledge, is? The means of acquiring knowledge is a process
