Let's start

Finally here! First post!, I've been debating on what my first post should be about. I've had so many ideas, so much inspiration on some days but here it goes; Let's start....

Stroke by stroke, line by line, shadow by shadow a masterpiece is brought to focus. Incomplete but not formless a splash of colour catches the eye. But of course to seal it,the final details that tell a story. Framed and packaged, the art.

Let me drive the mind image I've  given you home. For any great exploit, masterpiece, prodigy, enterprise, you name it, there was always one brave enough to start and act on an idea.
I've been prey to so many ideas but I find myself dismissing the idea  because of so many conflicts I have within myself; What if I am not good enough? What if this isn't for me? What if?
I've come to realise if you don't start you'll never know. Rejection is an answer but regret leaves you scarred by 'what if'.
So in view of this I decided to give my wildest thoughts of things I found interesting a try. In current progress is water painting, I've realised a new love for water painting (hence my mind image).

There’s a quiet beauty in a prayer whispered by a child—a faith untainted by doubt, a belief that even the smallest voice will reach heaven. I was that child once, whispering secrets to the sky, believing God would listen. Yet, for years, it felt like those prayers floated into the vastness, unanswered. But God hears whispers too. I still remember the ache of wondering if I could ever truly belong. Camps in the big city were always bittersweet. While others laughed over shared jokes and lives, I clung to my book—alone in a crowd. My whispered prayer was simple: Lord, don’t forget to give me a tribe of my own. And then, I think of another prayer, spoken through tears: “If I’m not saved now, I don’t know.” Conviction weighed heavy on me, yet assurance felt so far away. I wrestled with whether this God I read about truly wanted me. Love, in those days, felt like a distant story sprinkled through the Bible and strung together by Sunday school lessons. Life moved forward, and with it came d...

365 days

  Yes you will rise from the ashes but the burning comes first. For this part darling you must be brave." - Kalen Dion - " How will I tell my mother and my sister ?" Alot has changed, nothing is the same, 365 days. I have always been quite the cleaner, dust to my broom and under the rug it goes. It takes me back to my early childhood when I just couldn't get around to finishing my supper.  I have been seated at the dinning room table for a couple of hours now.  Heavy eyed, taking in a recurring booming voice in monologue reading out the headlines in another room as I continually will my self to eat but to no avail. Looking left, right, back and forward, no one in sight. Off my plate and under the table rug my food goes. All smiles as I present my "clean" plate to my parents. I finally time to sleep. "Wanangwa!" It's crack of dawn. ........... It had been a whirlwind of anticipation met with excitement. The count down to finally seeing this fam...

Stance

Stand for something else you'll fall for everything. In the wake of people standing up for what they feel matters, from protests against police brutality to the mother land's disgruntled youths, I dared to evaluate what I really believe in. Can I fully knowing the consequences of what I stand for purposefully lead myself to the slaughter; accepting torture, beating, imprisonment and yes, even the cost of my life for the good of it? I, at this point in my life, can't say I've been faced with having to back my beliefs on the spot. But knowing myself, I probably would play the 'I'm here but if it gets hard I'll be in this corner' game. I'm grateful for the still in that we are finally being made to see our different situations raw. "Putting something on twitter is not a movement. You can inform people through Twitter. It is very useful for that. But you have to be present in the moment. You have to do something yourself. You have to be...

Letter to the past

 Past, I stand today gift in hand, the present, eager for all the infinite possibilities within reach. Besides fear, the common and inevitable inhibitor, I'm crippled by what I left entrusted to you, with hopes that time would heal old wounds. Out of the closet, my past self, my past mistakes, and the trail of broken hearts I left behind, while evolving to who I am now, have continued to haunt me. I see them in a stranger's eye, a familiar scent and even old places I once visited. Despite the ' new me ', I feel chained by my old name as if my deeds marked my whole being. "Traitor! Liar! Phonicator! Thief! Lazy! Greedy! Murderer! Drunkard!" The voices in my mind chanted in between its walls.  Had I not been freed? "I am new!" "I am new!" I had to repeat to my self amidst the accusations and pointed fingers. My audience grew larger as the hearts I'd broken stepped out of the shadows. Ones I'd back stabbed, framed, lied to, manipulated...

I wait for the applause

Welcome to another post but before I dive in like nothing happened, let me explain. I have been off for the month of July mainly questioning my carrying on writing to you because of the feedback along the way. I saw great growth only for it to come crashing down. I am back nonetheless and in that line I thought to write something related to me almost giving up on blogging. Let me start here.  You never know your audience.  Just the other day while pouring out my heart to my mother, I learnt she reads my blogs. The thought still amuses me particularly that I was sure she didn't even have a clue that I write, bless you facebook and hi mum. Some months back, I also found out the blogger behind a blog I closely read, ' Suzyo was here ', has read my blog before. *I'll leave the link to his latest post at the end of the post if you're interested. Besides me being extremely thrilled, well the point is you never know your audience. This is applicable whether or not you do a...
