Its 12 am as i pick my pen to write on this blog for the first time this year. It feels good to be back. "life is an adventure" I have heard it many times. At the end of last year I took a break. I watched helplessly as death took a piece of me...that's when life becomes unfair. There was sadness...that a pen would not write over. So a sudden demise of a close relative changes your perspective.I went through all the motions of grieving: from shock,denial, anger and finally acceptance. If there is one thing we shouldn't loose is hope. I know i will see her again cause death has been conquered. During this period I have learned that life is a gift. Treasure each moment. Take a risk in life and one of my favorite quotes sums it all "To triumph without risk is to triumph without glory". During a vacation somewhere near the Kenyan-Somali boarder along a coastal shore; that point was hammered home by an adventurist. I was offered a free kite surf and I declined...why? I don't know how to swim. I was given a puzzled look and the guy went on to explain how everything he does is out of taking a chance. He has traveled world over, knows nine languages and he freaking enjoys life...his words. i was like cool...but then he looked me in the eye and said RISK IT. We all have dreams and goals and for me there is plenty of that. Taking a leap of faith is all we need. I have the most awesome friends and they made that vacation memorable and it went a long way in giving strength to my fingers. The year started out in style and its been great so far. I have a breathing muse ...eerr correction....breathtaking muse. Not only that, but a star. Yea you heard me. Risking is starting to pay off. There is a story in the making. To my ardent readers...he's back and I'll keep you posted.
His word is Alive and real Breathes life and fire Creates and makes Restores and renews His words are…. Words that emanate From a cauldron of truth That flows through The crevices of your heart Illuminating the dark parts Revealing your true self Words hinged On the promise of redemption Words that cut through Sharper than a double edged sword Words that liberate Inflict a deathly blow To ignorance and foolishness That makes one wise Words that are weighty That anchors the soul That gives direction That points to the tree Free of partiality Words that are majestic Beautiful and lovely A present from The past and the future Words that are evergreen Words that speak comfort To the hurting and broken Words that heal That sows seeds of joy Words full of hope Melts all your fear Rallies you That gives you the courage To stand and believe Words that move mountains Words full of faith Words that make sense In all this confusion In all this fake fusion Of twisted ideas Words that are re...
