Keep what you fear!
Fear is a child after one’s heart. It will pile stones, pile bones, and leave you in ruins, if you don’t undo what you fear. I saw this book when my team and I visited J Randel Museum in Lagos last month. I took a mental note and promised I would get a copy as…

Keep this state of emptiness!
I have been in a state of emptiness. Scott Peck in his book a Different Drum described emptiness as making room for the other, whatever the other may mean to you. It maybe something different, unexpected, new and maybe even better. Most importantly, it maybe for the community. We cannot let the other into ourselves…

Keep imagining this life!
Imagine being the hope that is not split by time. Imagine being the seeds of light. Imagine being born of this earth. Imagine being the center of beginnings. Imagine triumphing over night. Imagine all this as you remember who first planted the seed. It’s been years with you gone but every 8/6 is a reminder…

Keep days full of dreams!
Some days are rich. Not only will you gaze at the skies and see a rainbow, life would remind you that everything for you starts in yellow like a goldfinch and ends in grace like rainbows you see. This life you live, this day and onwards, requires only dreaming…

Keep the beginning!
It was simple to begin. Hard to continue. Even harder to not give up as we suffered. Wanting more for this life, wanting it for others, silent and alone. But the simple beginning, all that it laid bare, is why we celebrate the end, even in silence, knowing we are not alone. We choose to…

Keep breathing!
Even if you never intended to breathe, there is no use wasting air, so breathe. Be as urgent as a knife and breathe knowing each moment is a lifetime, with so many stories to write, no matter how you slice it, breathe. Some moments will force you to breathe, force you to remember to bless…

Keep dreaming always!
I was wondering out loud the other today, what my legacy would be when it’s all said and done. I hope my legacy points people back to the reasons why they dream, how to dream and who is always at the helm of their dreams. It’s God, always God. We are dreaming again, building too…

Keep Zobam’s Day!
Love looks like you, anchored, vibrant and alive, surrounded by those who call you love. You are love, with your human light that mimics roots beneath soil. You are our foundation, beginning and primary. You give fresh grass joy, that even a day is like a tulip full. To celebrate you, is to arrive at…

Keep love!
Love so beautiful, oozes with joy. Today we witnessed love, witnessed beauty, witnessed joy, that we too professed love, and so does the moon, and souls, and people in search for love.

Keep those that guide you!
It’s been over 20 years since we met and everyday seems so sterling. I am learning to recognize and respect the place where I feel so cherished and secure and in my academic life, it’s in his presence. I am able soar because he told me I could. Told me too that who was I…

Keep being a child of blessings!
A child becoming better than you is a blessing. Today, I learnt about the blessings I bring. Keep this. Edo language.

Keep the big wins!
I was so happy for a friend recently. I am for all my friends but this one hit a bit different. See with the massive layoffs happening I have known not one or two or ten or more that have lost their jobs so every single news of anyone I know rebounding following the storms…
