Keep this peace!
Read more: Keep this peace!Today I will write the most low esteem lines ever spoken. Write for example, ‘I am confident and not my fault you mistake my confidence for something else.’ The winds will blow and eventually a day will force me to rewrite the lines as this. “No one who knows they are confident speaks loud. The…

Keep dreams heavy.
Read more: Keep dreams heavy.That time I thought tough times last, I went closer to the edge without falling over. Surely God had a hand in this as well as Papa and mama Ocha and of course the one named Onyelo. So, I stood and my stance as the one with the golden hair said, is like no other.…

Keep wisdom following storms!
Read more: Keep wisdom following storms!At the end of the storm, you will wonder whether to cry or simply sigh. You will wonder what remains. The proof of wisdom after all is the desire to learn. And your chi would say you, always you, for no one who lives by the river will ever wash their hands with sand. So…

Keep enjoying the little things in life…
Read more: Keep enjoying the little things in life…I have heard these words said often; “We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we react. These days and in pushing past storms, I am choosing to enjoy the little things I love, the glimpse of a glowing moon at night, the songs of birds in the morning. I am…

Keep words!
Read more: Keep words!Words are living. I am leaning on this every day. Their hold can be strong. Forcing you to dig deeper than the surface of what they seem. I am making sense of words these days. Making sense of all the ways they burn like fire, then blow like wind, touching everything until you become one…

Keep walking through your storm!
Read more: Keep walking through your storm!We don’t get to pick our storms but we can choose how we go walk through them. Choose the armor we put on to battle the storms. Choose the legion that stands with us to defeat the storm. I am walking. I found myself in a storm recently, found myself reading and reading the reminder…

Keep telling your dreams!
Read more: Keep telling your dreams!Tell your dreams to anyone. A child, a tree, a bird. Tell Say where it clicks, it swells, it falls. Tell. And if no one understands, not the bird, nor tree, nor the child still Tell. For nothing is as important as the freedom your dreams bring. Otherwise you will be like a bird with…

Keep the freedom of dreams!
Read more: Keep the freedom of dreams!The invisibility of those free are odd and beautiful. They bear the same relation to dreams, pointing the way up. Only few wake up to the hidden potentials of dreams. Only those free. The power of making. The power of affecting reality is powerful to those who dream. Those who shape the future with their…

Keep singing this song of freedom!
Read more: Keep singing this song of freedom!I had a date with Ms Toni Morrison yesterday. It was at the Nobel Museum. There I watched as my greatest teacher’s words were used to imprint this song of freedom I sing today. Emancipate yourself. Really, there is nothing more important than choosing freedom. Nina Simone once sang about how she wished she knew…

Keep this freedom
Read more: Keep this freedomSome seasons bring gifts that glow beyond darkness, underneath skies that announce the arrival of thunders, the fall of rain. I am in a season, flooded with poetry, destined to humanize all life’s experience. To be radical they say is to begin at the root. It takes time to tear down people and systems not…

Keep the point of struggle!
Read more: Keep the point of struggle!Today and always, poetry with their stirring words will serve, nouns will choke verbs used to describe any action. Diagram this sentence too: Those who know themselves, those named before anything named them, those Igbo, those brilliant, all those that belong to Onyelo, will burn a tune you will hum forever. Wait for it… These…

Keep moments of gold!
Read more: Keep moments of gold!We are some of us made of gold. We pass through fire and never fold. Not when the fire was expected, the deepest kinds. We saw it, circled it with all our might, then let it burn us. If we don’t burn, we stay. If we burn, we let all the pain seep deeply within…
