For those of us who dream…pay attention to what sits inside yourself and watches you and is you…It may take time, but sit, smile, and watch.

Keep life!
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. With forest we see dreams, see things aspire to their greatest potential all with beauty. I am learning these days that everything, every experience is…

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…

Keep all your failures!
Failure, don’t talk to me about failure or what I am capable of. When I wanted jewels for health, I wanted jewels for health. I trained girls, one school at a time, and took jewels to them to end the HIV epidemic and we failed without warning, without wining and without any wind blowing our…

Keep don’t worry!
If what you do imitates your mind, if it does that in service to your light, then destiny is yours, patience too, plus a deep, generous cycle of goodness, excellence too, all woven like knots tied around your neck and your hands, these images born out of your mind, all in service to the light…

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…
