i wrote THIS when an unexpected blessing came to me. A prayer answered in the midst of the craziness of the pandemic situation. i am deeply grateful.🙏🏾 This was written when i realised that wonders are all around us. We just need to look and enjoy!.🙂

 i am remembering ... A time of unbridled JOY playing with mud cakes for hours on end i recall being buoyed ... by endless wonders All around me i am reminiscing ... The countless hours of play filled with laughter Where did those care not about the hours GO?! Why am i counting minutes now?! i need to return to those moments of JOY To enjoy being in the present minutes ... THAT bring me pleasure and bliss THE carefree pockets of happiness Simple, serene escapades i do not want to know the time for it matters not It is the captured camaraderie The memories made Experiences encapsulated In the treasure box of LIFE ... ONE that i can open To let out, all over again Precious "gems" in my heart An elixir to fortify myself A nectar to blanket me My safe haven of warmth, LOVE and HOPE.

 i float through the days unthinking ... i do not ponder beyond THIS day i cannot sleep & i cannot wake Somehow i must ... to move forward this day i learn that failure can be turned around & disaster maybe salvaged To create another new ... from an end Time may move slowly but i can observe ... , i can learn ... i am not stagnant, i am not "stuck" i am growing, i am evolving ... i may not understand all ... Every unfolding within me & around me Somehow,i shall triumph over THIS times.

Relief, reward and redemption are what you'll get, feel and learn in the end. Over the past week, i have learnt that it's my own fears which keep me from achieving and experiencing so much more. To take the plunge and do what i want to do .... It's easy to blame current conditions and circumstances in life but upon deeper reflection, i've realised that i've ONLY myself to blame for all those lost opportunities and missed chances. THIS reflection had occurred before whenever i let go of what could have been .... Accompanied by anger at being a coward and not taking risks. However, a niggling voice would temper down the feelings and thoughts with practical reasoning and justifications. We always find a reason to feel better after we have lost what could have been life changing in good ways .... S...

Be still O monkey mind! i am exhausted ... Be quiet O servant i am trying to think! Be empty O maya ... i am not thee.

Seasons have gone past she's now no longer waiting ... The jazz singer still entertains words never fail to mesmerise Magical worlds hold court bad memories fall apart ... She feels new in heart and mind THIS peace has taken its time to arrive Bidding adieu seems fine ... she knows everything's temporary.
