Keep your seasons, keep your reasons!
I am in my own season, at last. With my own reasons, for me. They call this the age of reason, I laugh. This isn’t a silly season. I know. Just my own season, for me. With my own reasons, at last

Keep the power of unexpressed love with grief!
Grief is love unexpressed. I learnt that today watching an Instagram video of Andrew Garfield as he talked about the passing of his mom. To him, grief is a beautiful thing. Grief is also unexpressed love. He hoped his grief will remain with him as he never got time to express all the love even…

Keep the serious matter of being together!
Words call us, we go. A blurry thought, uncertain notes, hopelessly we stroll until meaning becomes clear, becomes us. Today we sat patiently trying to wait for words to come. It took a while. Children were crying. Hearts were weary but souls were full from a reunion a pandemic almost denied. We waited for the…

Keep flowing like rivers, loving like quilts!
Nikki Giovanni has a poem called quilts. I read it in her poems and prose book ‘Make me Rain.’ The title first of all is a blessing in disguise, for those hungry to let words flow like raindrops on a cloudy day. Quilts as described by Ms Giovanni to me is like a fast-flowing river.…

Keep knowing your light!
We become light by choosing it. Whether or not we are surrounded by darkness or not, whether or not others share or are indifferent to our light, whether we are open or closed to the idea of becoming light, all the possibilities and hurdles light entails becomes ours when we choose this path. It can…

Keep becoming light again!
The path to light neither begins or ends with me. It’s a path afterall and it’s true destination will remain unknown. Light emits ray and it often falls on people open to its ways. I am open to the journey and all the curves along the way. Those that deflate or drive, alter or align…

Keep ascending clear, befriending air!
May you ascend clear, with friends near, transcend fear, and befriend air, end tears, that tend to appear, then adhere to persevere, with friends that steer you to extend frontiers, through years without end, with air you choose to befriend. My keep for today and always.

Keep doors closed!
I woke up this morning refusing to answer the door. Refusing to let the rays of the day seep in and envelope my being. Then I remembered Lucille. I remembered her praise for impossible things. Blessed things too. You might as well answer the door, she would also say. For truth is furiously knocking. The…

Keep light and grace by design, by Renike!
Light and grace are my inspiration as we round up this year. Light because 2021 has been a year of darkness. A year of death. A year of sorrow. A year of pain. I experienced this kind of pain in 2020. But it burrowed more deeply into my marrow in 2021. I am choosing to…

Keep thoughts on death and a life once lived!
I have been wondering out loud what people may say if they came to my funeral. No I’m not dying. But death is inevitable. My grandma died this past week 25 years ago. Her death is forever in my memories. My first death experience too. The first time I knew death existed was the day…

Keep shooting your shot!
I smiled when I saw a video of Keke Palmer this morning. It was a video, a masterclass even on how to shoot your shot with what you want. Keke Palmer was on the view and she took the time on live TV to ask Whoopi Goldberg if she could be an actress on Sister…
