Metamorphosis

Life is in phases.

 As a child, you believe.
Anything is possible. Your mouth runs, your dreams fly.
You are yourself! No inhibitions!
No fears maybe the fear of physical pain.

 Then the teenage years.  
All that matters is acceptance.
"Feeling among". Being like your friends.
The tug: Being relevant or Being left out.

 In their teens, most people lose their individuality.

 When teen rolls by, "I" has been traded for "they". Only for a few does self remain.
For these few 
The question still lingers : Who am i? Why am i here?

 They know they are no groupies.                                              
So they follow their instincts
Follow their heart.
Live as true to self as they can.
For the child of God, there is a further step.
The relinquishing of control.
The self handed over to the sovereignty of God.

 Now you don’t own you anymore
Neither does the multitude. 

 He does.
It's neither at your behest or for their acceptance. God is your compass.

 All you are concerned about is God’s heart and pleasing Him, your Adonai!

Emotional Wahala…….

Emotion left on her own will depreciate someday While alive and in flames it seems as if you’ll be consumed if you don’t express her or the other party doesn’t react in the desired direction. She can bear many children ranging from flings to crushes to outright obsession and sometimes Love. Emotion on her own is healthy and she keeps the engine of relationships running. The kind we speak of in this note is when she ain’t mutual (or seemingly so). Emotion in this context: a state where your blood literally jumps out of your veins at the mention or sight of anything that concerneth the igniting party. Where you wait by your phone literally praying that a call comes in or you refresh your inbox like a gazillion times expecting an unsent message. Truth is, we have no control over these emotions; we don’t solicit for her birth. She just comes upon us suddenly. The only way out is managing her by putting her where she belongs. Oh yes there are solutions even if...

Of Pain and Heartbreaks

What do humans do with pain and heartbreaks? Who do they talk to about it? To God? To God alone? To God and man? To man alone? To spouse and partner? To biological family? To neighbours? To local spiritual family? To spiritual family, universal? To only clergy? To friends met on Life’s journey? To colleagues and business partners? To professionals – counsellors, therapists, and emotional coaches? To strangers? To social media? To God alone? To God and man? ‘F O7.08.2021

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.
