WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

The relevance of your works, And the quality of your efforts, Will be acknowledged one day. Indeed, when you're inspired and fired up to execute a task, there's no room for laxity to relent until the goal is accomplished. This energy or inspiration acts like a boiling action in your bones which makes you restless, and propells you to surmount any obstacle, till the job is done. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿26/7/21

People matter and you matter. People are unique and different, just like you. It is wrong to expect everyone to be like you and do the same things you do.    However, since tomorrow is never promised, please let us learn to appreciate every moment we share with others, because they are priceless.  Let us learn to appreciate each other once they are alive, because we will all vacate this space one day. To those who greive, be consoled. To those who rejoice, be glad. To those struggling with one challenge or the other, may you be strengthened. Times may not permit us to recount how the people factor has inspired or affected us in many separate sequence. But for making time to read these pieces, I appreciate you a lot because you are valuable.  Greetings from me to you ©KYB ✍🏿10/07/21

Funny waves of odd practices still lingers, amidst the blessings from sunrise to sunset. We hear credible and incredible news from various news rooms across the globe, featuring facts and fallacies. From many countless narratives of our time, we see many fault lines of departure from what ought to be. From one incident to another chaotic one, the world seems to be reeling under a stubborn spell of indiscipline, hatred, greed, impunity and a state of anarchy. The absence of authentic care for one another, the reduction of everything to monetary value and disregard for basic precepts has eroded our collective human value. The equation of success to the capitalist and socialist view points, places less value on holistic human development. The era where everything goes just because of one's richness or affluence and influence is worrying. The situation where one's close affinity to power gives them some aura of invisibility to act with impunity is a deadly

A lot happens within a day; A lot more things unfold in this simple complexities. With the demands of each moment, We often forget some details of what ought to be done.  But if you must forget anything at all, Please never forget whoever loved you when you were a child. Never forget the one who blessed you with the gift of life. Never forget the one who taught you how to walk and talk. Never forget the one who watches over you every day and night. Never forget whoever cares to wake you up every morning. Forget not the one who feed you and heals you of all your infirmities. Forget not the one who still warmly guide your steps through the day. Forget not those who stood by you when you were struggling. Forgot not those who went the extra mile for you. Don't forget your teachers. Don't forget your helpers. Don't forget your enemies. Don't forget those who neglected you. Don't forget those who were good to you. However busy you maybe

Why do you do what you do daily? What stirs you to do what you do? Are there reasons beyond monetary gain or material reward? You are witnesses to the enormous pressures, uncertainties and disruptions, with the intolerant altercations jeering at us in recent times.  You might have seen or heard about the insolent treaties of pockets of violence within and without our borders. With all the possible variables in this inquest, we cannot ignore these crucial push and pull factors and pretend all is well. We cannot hide behind the glory of being an oasis of peace and only pray for the situation to get better.  However obscure, obvious or subjective our motivation, passion and the reasons for which we do the things we do, they are no doubt anchored on some values. Inspite of the various layers of our complexities, the subject of revisiting the subject of values keep coming up in various quarters.  Today, it's not out of place to purge ourselves of our excesses and recloth wit

I greeted Junior and Julius this morning. Then it occurred to me it's 1st July. In wishing Juliets Julies, Julius, Jumais, Jumbos, Julas, Judys, Judiths, Judes and even Judas on this corridor of July which was named after Julius Caesar, may God empower and fill you with strength. May He who has brought us this far continue to keep us on the right path so we make the best of the Joules in July. I wish you a blessed moon with new possibilities. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿01/07/21

We envisaged a beautiful June in May, Blessed with some rains of hope. We embraced June with hope, But got embroid in this jaundice theatre at this junction of June-July. It's jingoistic to entertain this thoughts. It's sad how we now kill our own. It hurts to see lives wasted daily. It's becoming unfunny how these trends keep repeating in these short space. We cannot loss focus on the locus of the prowling hawks in the subregion. We cannot handle ourselves in this manner and smile at each other. If was bad yesterday, it can't be right today. Violence is undemocratic. We cannot continue like this. We certainly can do better, In taking care of each other, Instead showing ourselves where power lies. Stay safe. Take care.
