Writing with Juliet Iwelunmor

The power hidden in serving, 

how it may make you look small, 

like a speck, 

as if feeble, 

like a candle, 

all of this, plus, limited time, 

like a river flowing away, 

are the reasons to serve. 

Plus even if you don’t see the river, 

even if it’s directions, 

whether up or down, 

left or right are unclear, 

even if many are thirsty 

and don’t drink from the river, 

for they know rivers are rivers, 

just as people are people, 

still bring your cup to drink from it, 

draw still from the abundant water you see, 

so that what ever goodness service brings, 

rivers too, even if a drop, 

is your drop.

We are curating light, connecting communities, celebrating our connections, while fostering care, love, mental wellness, for these times. My Nnem always, and I mean, always say with this life, our duty always is to learn, but we depart serving. I’m in a phase where the next dream is as dreamy as the word dreams and this beginning, this notion that we are called always to serve is propelling us to our highest calling. Keep being of service and in service to others. Your dreams in service will be as brilliant as the skies on any sunny day.
