What If Tomorrow Never Comes?

-

Like a sunrise,  we too rise to respond to the duty of life.
And as sunsets, we either retire from our roles or return to our rooms and roots.
It's a fact that in between sunrise and sunset or daytime and nighttime a lot of things happen.
Sometimes the burden of our worries, struggles and lamentations often diminish the reality that life itself is a gift.
Somehow, we forget to appreciate the little blessings in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
Many a time, we take for granted the fact that we are part of the same humanity and that our actions and inactions affect others.
We fight each other and disturb the sanity of others just because our interest is not being served.
We sometimes go to every length to bring down others because they don't belong to our camp. 
We often peddle half-truths about others and deploy wicked machinations to hurt or kill the dreams of others.
We occasionally cheer up those squandering our fortune and goodwill and crucify those struggling to save our ship from sinking. 

But what if tomorrow never comes?
What will happen if our time elapses tonight?
Perhaps in responding to the duty of life, we should care to be kind and respect others.
Perhaps we should remember that we are the linkages between our Ancestors and our Children.
In rising to walk in the sunshine of each day, we should be mindful of being our best and daring to serve each other.
In waking up to live, maybe we should be willing to inspire and reach out to others in our little ways.
Maybe before signing off for the day, we should endeavour to be at peace with ourselves, others and our Creator.
Maybe beyond striving to thrive we should remember that one day we may return to wherever we are coming from.
Maybe in living our mission, we should care to plant lasting values and virtues that will inspire others.
Maybe we should try to listen to ourselves and others more and be HUMAN BEINGS AGAIN.
If the sunlight doesn't pass our way again,
Will our rest be pleasant or unpleasant?
Will our rest be peaceful or unpeaceful?
Will our biography motivate or demotivate?
Will we be proud of our legacies?

Best wishes to you
Greetings

In the 2023 Class

With Thanksgiving we crawled to crossover to this year. We entered the class of 2023 with renewed expectations, We joined the class with hope and resolve to inch higher. We stretched our yearnings in our white gear with glee, At the permission to exercise the gift of life in 2023. With the epiphany of the inceptions, We had the baptism of some pleasant unpleasant news. There were some unexpected expected goodbyes. There were economic downturns that touched our smiles. All in the process of the 2023 class. With some miracles here and there, We trekked the evidential path of experience of liveliness. We learned lessons through our encounters and engagements. There were low-high or high-low important rewarding moments. All in the vicinity of the 2023 class. With the melting pot of people, culture, influence, power, We remember the flooding that overwhelmed our comfort. We recall the vulnerable tears and the solidarity of our people, All in the memorable 2 023

Honouring the Elderly

In the library of living legends your name is recorded. In the library of borrowed hearts, our connections still live. In the library of our common history, a society of experiences still breathes. In this library of hope, are shelves of lives that still thrives. In this library of human resources are many with miles of smiles, Entrusted with a priceless collection of ancient folklore. In this library of pages are those with ages who guide us through the reality of this perilous-fun loving matrix of life. In this library of changing scenes of adventures are memories of moments worth keeping. In the present library of our future are the pillars and linkages of our common heritage buried in our bloodlines of our ancestry. This is why it's proper to revere the elderly in our society. This is why it's vital to honour and celebrate their contributions. This is why it's necessary to listen, learn and leverage our connections with the elderly and become better. Greetin

A Blessed End of 2023

Several years ago, I went to town not to crossover or watch the might of the last day's night but to feel the air of the last day. It was somewhat noisy, phony, and funny but I just didn't like the depth of creativity in the way Christians were using to cash in on the last day of the calendar. Today is D-Day or call it the mother of all nights or the Climax of all the overs: in Crossover, Climb over, Crawl over, Jump over, Scale over, Scream or Shout over, Sprint over, Run over, Pray or Push over, Watch or Walk over, Take over, Limp over, Jet over, Dive over, Lift over etcetera. It's not just enough to do the watch night and the so-called crossing-overs but to soberly reflect on our lives, and our attitudes in the past 365 days. We need to interrogate our efforts, our Care, our thoughts, and our actions or inactions so that we will individually and collectively access ourselves. Even in our reviews, overviews, and counterviews of our efforts in 2015 we can&
