Sweet CraZy Day

-
Woke up this Thursday morning, feeling groovy with myself. Wore a sexy little number and did my makeup. Packed up a little bag and headed out. It was supposed to be a solo outing...pulling all the crazy stunts on my own but it ended up being just a tad more than that. Heard there was a trade fair on going on the Island. In order to beat traffic, I headed out early enough and yes, I did beat traffic. The trade fair was quite fun...strolling through the stalls almost getting lost in the crowd...it was fun. I just wish I had a little more money on me. I would have gotten the cute set of knives for my kitchen. As it was, I didn't get it. Went around the whole complex like twice or thrice...can't really tell cos I got lost many times and had to get my bearing again and again. Afterward, I had to visit my ex, who is also still a good friend of mine. Business things. Talked over lunch and the only sensible thing I got from our discussion was the complement he gave me. I remember that because he said it more than three times. He said I was glowing...and he hadn't seen that since we first met...and he was certain that a guy was involved. I was glowing like someone in love. Laughing. How I wish that was true. The only thing that makes me glow right now is the joy of knowing myself...seeing myself through the eyes of God. I love what I see. I'm loving me. Anyway, I left and went to the movies to see the new 007 movie: Skyfall with a friend, more like a brother. And mehn, it was fun! Now for the crazy part...after the movie, we had to go back to his apartment to crash. And as we got out it was already so dark. No cabs! No bikes! We had to walk some distance to get a bus...it was a crazy trip to the house, jumping buses and walking. Eventually we got to the house by midnight. And wow, the gates were locked. And we knockd at the gate for hours...we eventually found a way...he had to jump over the fence to open the gate for me. Laughing my head off. That was some memorable day! We stayed up and talked most of the night and well, got little sleep and had to head out early the next morning for work! Oh wow. I'm glad. I needed that experience. Its something to add to my crazy portfolio.

Can I see the war?

-
There's a war out there that doesn't care about my feelings or struggles.  It is a war.  Its aim is to destroy. Frodo and company were chosen irrespective of their grievances.  They had to put sentiments and grievances aside to fight a common enemy. The key is together. An agreement. A fellowship. The Body Else the purpose of the company is lost; and we be earthly praised but eternally useless. We must never forget that our fellowship was beyond us;  but divinely orchestrated for a purpose.  That should be enough for me. Again, The key is together. An agreement. A fellowship. The Body Else, the purpose of the company is lost; and we be earthly praised but eternally useless.

THE BEAST IN EVERY MAN

-
The beast is in every man All it waits for is an opportunity to present itself And the other side is manifested. It's so easily suppressed when opportunity is far Yet easy to point at another and criticize When his own opportunity is near. But time and chance happens to every man. What is in man will be made manifest. I have made this mistake far too many times. You have insulted me far more than anyone I have known. I can point to your speck because I have conquered my log. I have seen the beast in me and it is easy to recognize in another, even if suppressed. It is the way. The only way. It is the way of love. It is the way of empathy. It is the place of wisdom. It is never the place for knowledge. Knowledge still has a lot to learn without knowing it does.  Knowledge is light that has not become one with you. It is selfish. It puffs up. It thinks its way is the way things should be done. This is why it will always think it knows, and seeks for the praise of man...

The longest 2 weeks

20/10/2020 The date many will not forget in a while. A very significant date to many youths in Nigeria.  That was the day I put to bed. In the midst of that chaos, I had my own personal crisis. I had a c-section. And it was successful. I had my husband with me through the surgery.... I heard your voice telling me to stay awake. You said it repeatedly, "Babe. Please stay awake for me. I beg you. Please don't go to sleep". And you held my hand and soothed my forehead just to keep me calm. And it was all I needed at that time....or so I thought until I saw the tiny being that was just extracted from my belly, wrapped up in a green cloth and screaming at the top of his lungs. Then, I knew there was always room for more. All I felt at that instant was love and gratitude.  The wait to reconnect with you and the baby was a totally different process.  And then not being able to move for almost a whole day didn't make it any easier. Little did I know what was to come.  There ...
