The leaf lands on a lake, sure, up top it looks like the ripple was ephemeral. But beneath that water, it changed everything. Every fall has an impact on you, or those around you watching.

In the darkest corner of your mind, a door creaks open. It's the key to another dimension-A dimension of shadow, a dimension of fear. You're moving into a land of fractured mirrors and whispering phantoms, of things buried deep and ideas you've fought to forget. You've just crossed over into........yourself.

Without love, and its many mysterious interpretations, there is no poetry. Love is poetry's core element. And a poet is addicted to love: may it be people love, love of nature, science, etc.. Passion, equals Poet. To Definitively define love is folly, for there are libraries full of such feeble attempts -- Why I write more about poetry's driving forces, refraining from any precise clinical referendums.

History is the study of past events, the disasters of the outrageous present and the nuclear apprehension of the next available future. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Extreme pleasure kills as much as extreme pain. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

What you owe your mind is relaxation. What you owe your body is exercise. If you don't workout, calories won't walk out. But make sure you're fit before keeping fit. And life goes on! ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Culture is the heritage of the people, that shapen their lifestyle and behaviors.

One can even argue, that when at our best, the human heart and spirit are pure poetry. That is poetry. Like great music, art and prayer. Like Great God!

We breathe in what we need -- make it our own...then breathe it back to share and thus multiply its goodness. Our importance on the blackboard of every Nature-schooled green plant.

Artists resemble oysters - the uglier the mollusk, the prettier it’s pearls. And each of them - a grain of sand or even just a vermin in the past, that brought the bearing creature pain and suffering.

"Avoid words that blow up the significance of disrespect, and be wary of confirmation bias that reinforces negativity. See the bigger picture and handle difficulties philosophically within yourself. While speaking of grievances may offer temporary relief, it can keep you stuck in victimhood. Choose to focus on inner growth rather than amplifying negativity outwardly."
|
"Surround yourself with people who treat you with decency and encourage your growth. Audit your relationships and limit contact with those who bring out the worst in you. Manage your exposure to negativity, especially from difficult family members. Fill your life with people who resonate with your values and appreciate your worth - they make all the difference."

For sure, all is the mind's illusion -- mental images are substance. Sort of like, the foundation beneath the visible home.
|
Nature is never at fault, nor God. We choose where to live and play, bucking the odds. But no one is to blame -- life is a gamble from start to finish. The heart is a risk taker.

Life is painting. The more you paint, the more you become successful failure.

African literature is so rich that there’s nothing you wouldn’t find in it, including company. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Yep, the night out, is not always the same as morning reflection -- which do we treasure more? A warped fondness for even many of my mistakes -- I say, show mercy to one's own heart.

The heart pure speaks eternal glow.

For sure, see it, next feel it mentally -- then will it into physical being. That is true Free Will. Free Will is not simply making choices. You have it in the palms of your creative hands, needed only to be set free.
|
God lets us choose! The indecisive nature of man's soul why it has taken so long to move on to the the next stage of blessed evolution. Free Will does not mean simply making choices -- 2,000 years from now we will still be in the same spiritual rut, maybe living on radioactive islands, but nothing will change until we decide to change our rebellious, destructive consciousness. Christ never left us...the Christ in us, the Holy Spirit with us, is our salvation in the palm of our hands.

A man’s penis and a snake share some similarities : both are long; both are flexible; both change in shape and in size when roused; both stretch longer and become firmer when in action; both spit out liquid (the former spits out urine and sperm, the latter spits out venom); both cannot do without holes (the former goes into a hole for maximum pleasure, the latter for safety); both recoil after sufficiently striking their targets. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

If life were all questions and no answers, it would be a world of sickness without cure. If the other way round, it would be a world of cure with no sickness. Next to this is the meaninglessness of life, which is palpable to those that read meaning into everything meaningless. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Happiness is a thing of the heart. Pleasure is a thing of the brain. Both are like twins fathered by two different men. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

What you want to be, you’ll surely be. You only need to swallow pills of faith and inject into your system a recommended dose of hard work. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

When everything is taken away, what is left is mathematics, the inherent structure of truth itself.

When there’s no hope in your future, let the future be in your hope. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
|
If you’re passing through pain, endure it. If you’re passing through pleasure, enjoy it. Both are like night and day, which we all MUST pass through. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

If other seasons were to be rooms of a mansion, summer would surely be the party hall. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

What you want to be, you’ll surely be. You only need to swallow pills of faith and inject into your system a recommended dose of hard work. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Literature is more than a subject; it’s a fascinating religion with gospels preached in prose, poetry and drama. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
