Keep lessons at crossroads!
A burning desire for freedom at crossroads will lead you down a path so vivid and clear. This desire will force you to stripe life to its essence and embrace all you see at crossroads.

Keep the wonders of Naija!
In Naija, or like we call it, home, we think a lot about movement, and bustling streets and buildings tall and straight as trees, and the grey skies we hang on to, everyone happy to see another day, at least there is wonder here, and magic too, for where else will you see blind men, …

Keep lazy rivers!
Today I sat by a lazy river and let the sun and its rays soak me deep. There were purple flowers along the river and children sharing how angle fishes swim slow just like the river. I sat wondering if this is heaven or what else can describe how you prevail through storms. So if…

My dear dad once told me to focus on school, just do all that mattered with school, then my life partner would arrive. I listened. Cut my hair and dove straight into what being a doctoral student was all about, bald head and all with jewelry making on the side. Then my dad died and…

Keep the shining sun after a tornado!
Our friends saw a tree outside their home. It’s was after the tornado that passed through St. Louis, and for them, it left no power, broken lights, and a large tree on the ground. They are okay they said. At least the sun is still shining. I agree. My heart goes out to everyone who…

A baby bird hid underneath a large green tree afraid. One of his legs was injured and he felt safe underneath the tree, until he heard little footsteps approaching the tree. So unaware of the intent of these footsteps, the bird started whistling and limping trying its best to go very far from the tree.…
