THE LENS

We were created to experience the beauty, God's beauty, God manifest. Can you express how these photos make you feel? 

If you gasp like I do, take a moment and check when was the last time you gasped? when was the last time you felt the way you feel when you look at these photos? I love nature, I love the way it makes me feel. I tend to just smile, I tend to think about how i will narrate this to someone else, and then i remember i do not have the words. I know it makes me silent, I know it touches me where i'm not usually touched by all the other things that go on around me. 

There is so much more to life. Don't concentrate on the noise and the distraction.

The last time we checked my career status, it is totally different from what it is now. I sat down, went through an overhaul; ok i'm exaggerating, it is not that different but it has some personality now, I must add. Whoever said,  "it is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects." I know in my previous post i mentioned the life and the growth; Now as i write this, i just feel like we just  go round and round. The tip of one thing is the starting point of another, there is always something around the corner. (I have totally digressed). Back now to what I really wanted to write about.  As the days go by, a lot changes, some good, some bad, some hurt, some not so much; I have met new people,

I Love you!

"I love you" A simple three letter sentence that I have noticed I struggle with. I have come to this realization because as my daughter is growing up, I am often overwhelmed by the feeling of love and I want to tell her  that I love her, but immediately I am about to whisper it to her, I break into song. "I love you, you love me we are a happy family with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you won't you say you love me too?" How African and conservative is that? When my husband sees me talking to someone several times he assumes I have become friends with that person. So, when we are talking and he happens to mention, I saw you have been friends with so and so? I am usually appalled and I get defensive, "Who, me? No, we are not friends, we say hi to each other and do small talk but we are not friends?" Let me bring home the connection, this shows I have some major trust issues. It takes forever for me to actually call someone my frie

experiences!

They say the experiences we go through are supposed to enhance character. we, as human beings are supposed to learn from them. but do we? trust you me when i tell you maybe i am among the people that make the same mistake twice. I end up asking myself is it because i don't see it coming or is it because i just didn't learn from the previous experience such that fate has it repeated so that i may, if anything, just learn from it. There is this particular incidence, (allow me to make a filthy comparison) i would like to see it as passing through a lane; one of these hideous, dark lanes that we got. Say i pass there almost everyday and i step on human waste on the same spot, the next day i pas there again and damn! i step on it again. The punishment is spending the rest of the day with a pungent smell on me simply because i did not learn either to avoid the human waste or avoid the lane all together. I say some human beings will pass there and relate it to their friends, and e
