WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

It is sobering to realise how people affect  lives. And like Albert Einstein we must realise that we are what we are based on the labours of others who may be living or dead. We are therefore indebted to our parents for bringing us into the world. We are indebted to the Traditional Birth Attendants, Herbalists, Nurses, Doctors orderlies, aids among others who played a critical part in making our arrival here safe. We are also in debted to all our parents, friends, teachers, priests, imams, and other mentors who taught, intructed, inspired and helped us understand certain qualities of strong character and about the essence of life. The list is endless but the intent to acknowledge the most high and people for being what they were or are to us the better it is for us to serve each other and be good to others. Stay blessed.

As you live this day, remember that your actions, inactions, reactions, responses and silence will be judged, interpreted and analysed. Thus, NEVER underestimate the little efforts you can make with the gift of the moment. Greetings.🦚 ©KYB ✍🏿23/06/21

How do people describe your father👴🏿? Who do people say he was/is? How would you describe your father👳🏿 and the fathers in your life? We are told some fathers are expert at goal scoring, while others too are active providers, protectors and pacesetters. We are also reminded of some fantastic but absentee fathers who have vacated their post, and those who generously missed the green smiles of our growth. Time and again, we hear of fathers who's gallant toils and tears still stirs us. Truth is that some have long kissed the ghostly ashes of eternity. Some still stand like pillars of discipline and foundation in our lives, while others still inspire fear through their uncompromising postures and fiats. For whatever they were or are to us? For whatever they have been in our lives? One thing is clear, that our Fathers are responsible for something in our lives. They're either directly or indirectly responsible for we being where we're today. We may li

We sometimes feel uneasy or restless with noise within our minds, hearts and noise from our environment that obstructs our ability to carefully listen to the rhythms of nature and time. But the celebrated Raggae Icon Robert Nestor Marley reminds us in his song: Natural Mystic, that "There's a natural mystic blowing through the air, if you LISTEN CAREFULLY you'll hear. This could be the first prompting, might as well be the last. Many more will have to suffer; many more will have to die don't ask me why? Things are not the way they used to be, I won't tell no lie..." Similarly, William Arthur Ward opines that "We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead." Maybe to live through the Epiphany of our Renaissance as a people, we need a continuous effort of transformation, the same way we nee

In the estimates of time, We have near equal. In the estimates of our affection, We have a paired measure. In the estimates of our work or worth, We are blessed with results. There is an untold estimate in our truths, In our socio-economic, politico-religio-cultural space. And in the estimates of our beliefs and attitudes, There are benign deficits of our interest.  But in the estimates of this day and its glamour, And in the exercise of our discretion today, Never underestimate or overestimate your estimation.  Just be in tune, do your best and be your best. I wish you well. Remain blessed ©KYB ✍🏿10/06/2021

It's time to recalibrate  Whatever makes you happy and strong, Whatever helps you thrive in this space, And whatever strengthens you. Whether it's your achievement or influence, Whether it's your efforts and love you spread, And whether it's your unique challenges and how you have survived, I still appreciate you.  I wish you a wonderful Wednesday.

The news of climate change is no secret. The effects of our actions on earth are known. The fact remains that we are responsible in a way. We are aware of the vileness of what we have done, or what we have not done in avoiding this. We are witnesses to the erratic weather patterns and the gradual decline of rainfall. We know the discomfort in the uncertain seasonal tunes. And we do know the dangers if nothing concrete is done. The fact that we cannot turn back the clock doesn't mean we cannot act. We can each take up the task of planting and growing trees, and making our cities green. We clean our rivers and reclaim our wastelands. We can grow gardens, change our diets and be intentional in saving our ecosystem.  Whether as culprits or saviours, the time to act to restore our ecosystem is now. Since we are the generation that can make peace with nature, we all should take an active interest in working to making our natural habitat breathe again. As stewards
