Keep the fullness of life.
Remind me of how we got here, how our dreams, became reality, how fullness of life, became our life, how still the dreams moving in us, then shifted, but remained in us, as we watch time go on, and your light still stayed on, this indestructible light you gift us, as days stream into years,…

Keep illuminating your presence!
You do not have to listen. You do not have to wait to hear me speak. You only have to open your eyes and let your eyes see what it sees. Tell me about hurdles, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile, the world will go on, days will go on and everyone will…

Keep being like a broom!
They say a broom has no value, yet everyday, people look around their house for a broom or something close to it to sweep their homes. The depths of a broom are so deep, that when you done using it, it goes back to being itself, a broom in silence and peaceful simplicity. Imagine being…

Keep this light
You will turn into something inexplicable, like the sun and its flowers, the moon and its showers, when you make yourself, light.

Keep who we belong too…
The devil almost as in almost had me that Onyelo reminded me of who we belong to. That and the fact that we have legions. So no weapon formed against us shall prosper. It won’t work. We know who we belong to. They have rosaries. Nothing will succeed. We are protecting our peace…there will be…

Keep reflecting even if on trees.
I saw an exercise on reflection today that asked that you imagine yourself as a tree. It asked that you take a deep breath, close your eyes, open it, then draw the type of tree you represent. For me these days, I am like trees bare and open in the winter. How trees survive the…

Keep imagining them oooh….
Imagine being among creatures of vanity. Imagine wondering what do they even know. Imagine their blindness to a single blazing star, even though they belong to a pleading sky.

Keep Nnem’s scarves…
My Nnem wears scarves that tell stories of their own. Their forms are clear. Every single scarf she has ever worn has a form and structure with colors that arise all on their own. They are what scarves need to be, so they stand erect, when tied on a woman’s head or draped on her…

Keep those older and wiser than you!
When those older than you speak, they do so, not because of the sweetness of words in their mouth, but because they see something, the rest of us, those young, do not see. This new year will find me listening to those older and wiser than me. I intend to stop and listen to all…
