My Hero......Mahatma Gandhi


The sound of your name ignites fire in my bones
How can a mere man like me live with such high standards?
In my years on this planet (apart from my Lord Jesus), I have not met any man so great.
The anthology of your writings changed my life forever.


You placed demands on your life that I haven’t heard of in my existence.
Your theme of truth and non-violence, of love and self sacrifice, of common good........
You walked your talk 100%, Oh what height of Integrity!
In your imperfections you still tried to remain true to yourself & your God
Your focus was on things that mattered on this side of the planet…the essentials…sound principles!


I have never wished I met any ‘hero’ like I wish I met you
You are truly my Hero!
Heard of great men but none like you
Oh the power of the inner voice and self sacrifice….


I surely cannot put it better than Dr Martin Luther King Jnr
“Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable……We may ignore him at our own risk”
and Albert Einstein
“Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth”


May we all truly live our lives knowing we did all we could to add utmost value to our world
One man, Gandhi…….One man, Funmi
I don’t believe in praying for the dead but I cannot but say even though they are mere words;

“ God Bless Mahatma Gandhi”

……………humility at its peak, simplicity at its best!

Still in tears

I knew it wasn’t right. Personal values, societal values and all the works, I didn’t let us grow. We kept it platonic (difficultly so). Our hearts wanted more. Our heads knew better. Only space and time can heal us. I’m utmostly grateful for your THERENESS, Your openness, your romance, your consistency and your maturity. I did it for your clan, for my man for myself & for you. When we meet in future, because  I'm sure we will, We’ll catch up on our phases.  I will miss you sorely.  Still in tears.

The Power of Release

My people, there is strength in releasing people, strength in letting go. The world may see it as weakness or failure on your path but the truth is that there in lies a high level of strength. Oh, the negative energy and loss of time when you try to force it to work. When you don’t release a person, you give the person power over you. …try your best to get that money back but if the person is irresponsible enough not to give it back after loads of efforts, let go. ….release the person that hurt you badly either by saying something hurtful or not saying anything when something was to be said. Trust me, you don’t need negative energy and some things or people wouldn’t come back no matter how hard you try. Cliché but true, let go and let God! It is certainly not an easy process but with God, strength will come somehow.
