Self Realization

Familiar Moment

The Soul

The soul of man is immortal

Few are aware of this

The body is a mode of transportation

Only a handful know this.

Man seeks immortality

But they already are

The soul never dies

But stays alive into the next life

The body does not matter

What goes on with the soul is important

To keep it pure and safe

We only can meditate and pray

Souls must stay with us

Never to be sold for wealth or fame

Secure it for the afterlife

For souls are immortals

The Cave

The Cave is a part of human life where we find ourselves sometimes when we want to be alone. Described as a hollow place of seclusion where a person can hide from others for shelter and protection; a cave is often non-physical but psychologically created.

The cave is a special place to think and be alone by shutting everyone else out. It serves as a comfort zone for many when life seems too difficult to bear. Each one of us has a cave where we run to when in need of space; it helps us breathe, think and meditate to find solutions to challenges.

Some people never come out of their caves, especially when they feel all hope is lost; they remain there and find comfort there; thereby detaching themselves from the world. A cave must serve as a temporary abode for reflection, never a lifetime home.

Fathers Day

"I want to congratulate all the men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are stepfathers, or biological fathers or just spiritual fathers." 
                                                                                           T. D. Jakes

"When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry." 
                                                                                                William Shakespeare

"I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much."
                                                                                            Hedy Lamarr

"A good father believes that he does wisely to encourage enterprise, productive skill, prudent self-denial, and judicious expenditure on the part of his son."
                                                                                      William Graham Sumner

"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me."
                                                                                                                  Jim Valvano

Mothers are Teachers

The first Teacher
Anyone can have
Is a mother

The first lessons taught
By everyone
Is by a mother

The first words learnt
By everyone
Is from a mother

The first love felt
By all living beings
Is from a mother

The first classroom is the home
Where life lessons are taught
Is promoted by a mother

The first rebuke of correction
To put a person in check
Is by a mother

Refugees

Refugees are human beings
They are desperate for survival
They are forced to leave home
For a life you and I dream of.

Refugees are made like us
Their situation is complex
They need help and love
They deserve respect and kindness.

Refugees are brave people
They risk their lives to survive
They struggle with family and friends
Till they find a place to call home.

Refugees are among us
They need embrace and help
Anyone could be a refugee any day
Treat them as you would have them treat you.
