The Sleep

The desire to rest and sleep is stronger every evening. But what goes on within these silent solitary sleeps and between the moments when we are fully conscious in a day is still a mystery worth exploring another day.  The sudden fleeting sleep of many of our hero-servants and men here and elsewhere tickles a tearful reality of our eminent sleep someday to come. It's a tricky truth we hate to know and shy away from any day. But when our new ancestors still beat the resounding drums of eternity, we all have an urgent duty to prepare to live, even as we rehearse this tall inevitable journey. And as we reflect on our ultimate sleep with each sleep, may we be ever mindful of the needful duty of our walk here. May we ever remember to care and live our call every moment. Good evening. #KYB ✍🏿®#

It is possible even today for us to teach ourselves to do things differently in unique ways for our betterment. It's possible that we are gifted in subtle ways we are yet to explore. It's possible that we are blessed with infinite abilities we don't even know of. So while praying for the spirit to understand this innate call within our make, it is

Simple Reminders

Over the years, we have seen and heard a lot of human stories. We have tasted and tested the care of behaviours of people. This is perhaps the basic thinking backing the axiom that people are people because of people. It's a reality we all have friends and enemies. But its possible that in our hustles and troubles of journeying along the paths of life, we might be disappointed, get bruised or be hurt by our expectations from people. So in trusting in God, and expecting nothing from others, we could learn to walk and preserve our lives. However, it's also true that somebody out there still values and cherishes you. Somebody still cares about you. Somebody thinks of you right now. Somebody misses you and wants to talk to you. Somebody is truly happy for you and wants to share their lives with you. Someone prays for your wellbeing. Someone admires your strength and energy. Someone wants you to be around them all the time and see your smiles. Someone remembers you in
