Marriages fail because they are either taken too seriously or taken for granted. They should be taken rather like coffee – not too cold and not too hot. If too bitter, should be sweetened a little with sugar. If too dark, should be lightened a little with milk. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

The darkest nights are softened by the memory of a steady, guiding light.
|
Some seek to control others, some seek to control themselves whilst others seek to control their environment. A fool engages in one, a wise man two but a truly enlightened man masters all three.

A hidden treasure under the cottoned-garment can only be mined when a knot-rope is tightened by the prayer's-lead before the congregation — and the king will enjoy his moment in the fleshy-throne of his kingdom.

Examples of extraordinary courage can boost our confidence. Some men were tested for their faith, or integrity and faced horrible death at the hands of tyrants. Whoever fights for a good cause can be threatened with hostility, or even death; on the contrary, the power is always given to a dumb puppet who is being manipulated by clever men.
|
A mentor is a caring listener who examines each word with an awareness not found in individuals who are too busy living
in a state of self-denial. They rather see a good man being crucified than honoring his integrity.
|
"Those who try to discredit or shame you, do so because they're threatened by your voice."
|
Envy is fought with astuteness; the slick reason logically, avoiding pitfalls that might entrap them and make them forfeit the scope they fought relentlessly for.
|
I have created the dreariest place of despicable remoteness, keeping loveliest words concealed inside, never whispered or spoken to reach a greater altitude: thoughts tossed to a storm unable to express themselves!
|
Poetry ... it is written to by the pen, then listened to by the mind, before it whispers to the soul.
|
Music is listened to, yet it listens to you. Music is made to express itself, as well as yourself. Music can't be physically be seen, but so many perspectives can be seen. It is something non-living, but it grows along with me, and I will continue to live with it. Lifelong.
|
The careful choice of words, rhythm, rhyme, and meter creates a sense of beauty and musicality that can be deeply moving and enjoyable to readers and listeners.

" They who still live for this world are in Darkness in the Light of the Dying. But they are Enlightened with the Light of The Living, who,despising the Light of the World, return to the Splendor of the Inward Brightness that they may live in that place where they may see, by feeling it, the True Light, where Light and Life are not different from each other, but where the Light itself is Life also." -St.Gregory

Poetry is a place you get lost in to find yourself, to 'feel' something. One could say it is all cerebral. But it is to 'feel' something, whether you are the poet or the reader (in music lyrics sung, the "listener").

We have managed to get through a lot of challenges. Things may be difficult, but there's still hope.
Memories from 2020:
There's a lot of fear out there... And it's OK to be frightened... But let's all try to focus on the positive things in our lives and have faith that everything will be fine... It may be completely different... But it will be fine.
One moment, one minute, one hour, one day at a time... You can do it!
|
I listened to the sounds around me not as an annoyance but as evidence that the world is still full of life.
|
Without luck, intelligence is sour. is similar to unsweetened coffee.
|
You were made to think that,
You can fight against darkness.
The truth is, You can not fight a thing in its domain.
The fact that you see a need to fight darkness,
It is because of the absence of light from within.
Unlearn all that had crippled your light.
Be awakened, be enlightened
and come before darkness, it will disappear
for it cannot contend with light.
|
Now more than ever this perfidious humanity, which has plunged into the tenebrous abyss of hatred and wickedness, needs God's forgiveness and His mercy.
|
If what is seen or heard is untrue ... then just how does a mistaken reality become what is listened to and only viewed?
|
“ Your unconditional love made me happy, strong, and secure. In all the world, there is no mother better than my own. You’re the best and wisest person, Mom I have ever known. Like the stars talks with no words your wisdom Enlightened me, And Forever the angels will sing hallelujah
For they Woe to have someone like you”- Christen Kuikoua

We should always learn from our surroundings by being observant and by being a good listener, but the plight is that we fail to learn and the only reason is our mental capacity which mostly fails to observe and always makes us feel that we are wisest.
Observing and listening is like meditation... If we practise, the experiences instead of becoming painful will leave us with a smile
|
Wait for every stubborn and incorrigible child at the gate of a Prison, those who have landed there wished they had listened.
|
We have listened to the song and we have mastered the lyrics, now we need a cover.
|
Every smile has a story to tell,
All it needs a good listener.
|
Stories are told for the benefit of listeners.
Liars tell stories for their own benefit.
|
"I thought I knew everything when I was twelve, I did not realize then that I knew a lot more when I listened to myself."
|
Don't be disheartened by your talents, even a reflection of the sun is still blindingly bright.
|
I spent most of my life being in the wrong world. I spent most of my life sacrificing for others and denying myself. I've spent a lot of time imprisoned by the reactions of low-level people.Now I understand I'm a high-frequency person. I put out a strong vibration. I'm meant for great things and that causes low energy people to feel threatened by me, but I'm no longer going to play on the outskirts of life, settling and confirming because I'm afraid to make a splash.

The humans were coming together to build a tower so great it could reach the heavens. At this time in the world humans spoke, but one language and therefore could communicate easily and effectively. They were communicating so well god felt threatened by it
