Keep all you see!
As if looks were everything, she walked in sure that what eyes see where enough. Only they weren’t and everything depends on where you look in places where air seems hopeless. So she looked for spaces full of possibilities, she looked for where music flowed like branches in the wind. She looked for invisible places where…

I am learning that this life is what you make out of it. Good or bad. We only have one life. So dance. That’s all!

Keep beginning again!
There is something sweet about beginning again, like a mysterious birth whose purpose is to reveal. The way things emerge in the beginning, ideas come into being, as if they have always been there, how they leap from your soul too and become their own is the reason why I would always begin again. Always…

There are moments where your heart skips a bit, you stay motionless, only moving as reality returns. In those moments, I hope something sweet and kind, crosses your mind. Today was full of those moments, full of gratitude too that all that I can say is to keep moments that let your heart skip a…

With butterflies, we see dignity, see the idea to of transcendence, with life extending beyond its limits. With water we experience eternity, experience what life can be when lived endlessly.

Keep what is deep for you!
Some of us love deep. Some of us hate deep too. Some keep their circles deep, some their words too. I’m thinking too deep, hence the head but this life will force you to realign what matters the most and sometimes it will require deep thinking that scatters your brain. Where you are going, so…

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 looking at fear!
Since it’s good to be afraid, but not to paralyzed by your fear, I say fear even while you dream, fear when you begin any journey, fear even if the journey takes you through sloppy paths or shabby hills, fear when things seem under control, fear when things seem out of control, still fear through…

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…
