The greatness of living

In many times life has a way of springing up a surprise into your life, in a sense that it seems as though you are not looking only to be surprise by a bomb popping up out of no where in your world. There are many reasons for your heart to lose a bit and also reasons for it to skip a bit. We happen to be searching for answers but yet don’t realise that they are just in front of us given but in disguised by unsuspected package such as an old man in a bus travelling the same road as you with the same destination but different plans and goals. Its amazing where life can throw you and what it can bring to you- in my journey I had the blessing of sharing some time with one of those sent angels; a well groomed and wise white old man whom I did not happen to catch his name, never the less- I managed to gain a lot of wisdom and advise from this old man. I may be using the word old in a more lose manner because even though this man may have been old of age, his heart is young and shows through his interaction with people. We spoke of many and almost everything under the son. Through all this I found myself being rebuilt and fed things that my soul desired to hear and what only I could only imagine happening. My ride on a bus to Cape Town became a great gain for me that is the greatness of living.

Warning

I am Love's enemy-- the pain that never goes away, the destroyer of all that is good in your heart I take it you have now seen the monster that resides within, you have mingled and defined/ told apart the weak points from the good Your views from mine make me believe you to be right and i oh i now look down on myself with shame of the monster that i have become Allow me not to turn you into this beast i have become, run and run as far as you can. Hide and forget about my existence because this beast i so hate myself is still me I can not run but to stand and fight, I am in despair and denial I feel undeserving of anything great and pure For i have seen pure turn to dust and great turn to evil Why is the sun suddenly disappearing from my window- how is darkness falling upon me? Have i lost my guard? Is this pain self inflicted? or is the truth hard to swallow? Wake up rise and shine, the world awaits... no time for frowns and heartaches. why choose this soul out of so many?

I was starting school that year, I was scared as hell- come to think of it now- I have no idea what was so frightening?!? I remember getting lost after break trying to find my classroom- lol; I thought it was the end of the world. You don’t understand how frightening it is, to a five year old (turning six) to be in an environment full of people the same age screaming ,shouting, crying and just running loose. It was chaotic (I think my phobia of being in large groups of people started then) I came back from school that day to find my mom and a few of my uncles and aunties dancing with Joy, I still was in the dark (confused). Whilst at school, we did hear some commotion earlier that day and we ran to the classroom windows to see what was happening outside… I ran to my room to put my school bag down and went to sit next to my mom; they were chatting and drinking in celebration. I played a guessing game in my head “is it my birthday today? No, there’s no cake, hmmm, is it my mom’s birthday...

The System

My heart, why you hurting so? What has brought upon you so much pain? As strong and flexible as you are I think you tried to hard and bent too far. My heart, what troubles you so? What has left you in such turmoil? As brave as you have been in the past, it seems that you won’t last. My feet, why do you drag me down so? What chain and ball is slowing you down? As fast as you have been to carry me through so many fires and devotion you have shown. My hands, why do you tremble so? What fear and pain has left useless? As magical as you have been with a pen and paper but now you are clueless. My hands, why you allow my syllabus leave me behind? What has left you disable? What work can be done if not completed buy writing it down with my hands, they are not able. My eyes, why do you cry so? What has disturbed your concentration and stolen you vision? As sharp and sparkling as you have always been in the past but now you show signs of depression. There is something wrong with the system, the ...
