These three just fill my life to the brim. The proprotions vary each day but they are always present.
The threesome are present when u want them to be there.
Open your eyes and you will see what I mean.
They don't happen by accident.
The third one is a given- without request- bestowed on us by The Almighty.
The first is seldom experienced except by those who've learnt to love life- their life.
It's easy to love your life.
OK maybe not that easy fro everyone.
I've just had a flash of people in differing situations and they cannot just love their lives just like that. That's what I think.
Hope will be in the biggest proportion in these lives. Hope for a better life. Hope for a life they can love. A life they can love so that they can be joyful and at the same time love their life.
I think without loving your life one can still find joy in their life.
I'm now writing this from a third person perspective coz I'm just not sure what I've gotten myself into.
This threesome.
We all need them in our life. I guess with prayer we can make all three be present in everyone's life.
I'm doing it one by one.
Each person I befriend I try to make a difference in their life. A positive difference.
I'm still trying and praying.
Yes, I do pray for those I come across and sometimes get to know better.
Yes, the threesome are sometimes difficult to talk about, but they are a necessity in this life.
Do you see what I see?
I see a smile,
You see a smirk,
I see joy,
You see pride.
You never ask,
I always seek knowledge,
I seldom judge,
Your word is final.
Neither of us like correction,
But we don't detest it.
Our principles are similar,
We just present them differently.
I seek the fountain of love,
You seek the fountain of life.
We say what we need is different.
How can we live without love.
I say 'I need you'
You say 'I love you'
We say we're good together
We're always apart.
Maybe I'm not getting this right,
Maybe it's not you
Maybe it's me
Will it be ever us?
Now I'm confused
You say its very clear, I started all this
Yet you asked the first question
I've never had the final say.
Maybe I'm too quiet
Maybe I never ask
Maybe I never asked
Would it be different if I'd asked?
I believe in talking things over
You prefer sleeping over them, then decide
I prefer agreement from both sides, compromise at worst
We seem to always not agree.
We never fought
Yet there was always a war
No one got hurt
We both felt the pain.
There is a wound showing
I say it's a scar
You say it's definitely a wound
Who hurt who?
You see a smirk,
I see joy,
You see pride.
You never ask,
I always seek knowledge,
I seldom judge,
Your word is final.

Mask? Reveal?
Sometimes I smile, Sometimes I want to frown
Not that this is really what I want to do,
Or better still, not what I should do.
I feel I need to own up and just shout it out.
My facial expressions should reflect what I truly feel inside.
I cannot frown for long, neither can I not smile for long,
Thus smile is what I mostly do
That’s why I like the word smile.
There’s something I miss so much,
I miss as once had it,
Now I’m not sure if it’s gone,
The tell-tale signs are not there.
The way I miss it I sometimes thought I’d go crazy,
I had been so much used to it,
I think I sometimes took it for granted.
I still miss it so as I feel I need it .
As there’s something missing,
Then this could be the reason I smile often,
Though at times it ends up being a mask,
Closing off what I feel inside.
Do not get me wrong,
I do not wear this mask often,
It almost feels part of me,
For I feel I can no longer do without the mask.
Deceit is far from my intentions,
Pain is nearer where I stand,
I used to have something,
And now it’s gone.
Maybe it’s still there,
Trying to show it’s light through the mask,
How can I know unless I take off the mask,
Yet how can I reveal all this to everyone?
I will unmask one day,
To reveal what I am,
Maybe by then,
I truly will be smiling.
Love is all around
Last time I was charged & I went to read a book. I practically did that. took two days away from work and just chilled. Back now & I'm reading Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
This world indeed is full of love. Was reflecting on it yesterday and true there is lotsa love around us. It just needs one to truly appreciate what love is and see it around us.

- How many “I love you” s have you received in your life?
- How many same sex friends drop a call, e-mail, an sms yesterday just to wish you a happy valentine's day each year
- How many "happy birthdays" do you get each year from people some of whom you don't even know which month THEY were born in.
- How many friendly e-mails do you get in your INBOX each day. How many of these are seldom replied. Of those you don't reply to, how many keep on clicking the SEND button with your name. Most of those who send you e-mails don't mind that you don't send them back as many e-mails as they send you but they'll keep on sending.
- How many friends keep on pestering you with calls to hear how you are feeling when you take a day off sick
- How many actually come over just to keep you company when you're not feeling too well
How many reassurances do you get when things are not going the right way round - How many “sorry”s do you get when someone’s kept you waiting for them even if you were two minutes ahead of them
- When was the last time you said “OK” to someone who thought they’d stepped on your foot
- How many hours have friends, relatives & colleagues spent with you grieving over a loss
- How many “just wanted to check how you’re doing” calls have you received
- And actual gifts & tokens….
The list may be endless for many of us. Just to keep it all in check, ask yourself how many times you’ve been on the giving side. If you feel you cannot give, start with a simple “thank you” with a smile. It all goes a long way and will be appreciated much.
I'll end with this;
" If music be the food of love, then play on"
Patience
Got this from a friend & thought it worthy of sharing especially for those of who are impatient.
Not my origination.
"There was a legend of a woman who had a faithful dog. This dog was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it and go out to attend other matters. She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him.
One day something tragic happened. The woman as usual, left the baby in the "hands" of this faithful dog and went out shopping. When she returned, she discovered rather a nasty scene. There was a total mess. The baby's cot was dismantled and his nappies and clothes torn to shreds with bloodstains all over the bedroom where she had left the child and the dog. Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby. Presently, she saw the faithful dog emerging from the under the bed. It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as it had just finished a delicious meal.The woman went berserk and assumed that the dog had devoured her baby. Without much thought she clubbed the dog to death. But as she continued searching for the "remains" of her child, she beheld another scene. Close to the bed baby who, although lying on bare floor, was safe. And under the bed the remains of a python torn to pieces in what must have been a fierce battle between it and the dogwhich was now dead. Then the reality hit the woman who now began to understand what took place in her absence. The dog fought to protect the baby from the ravenous python. It was too late for her now to make amends because in her impatience and anger, she had killed the faithful dog.How often have we misjudged people and torn them to shreds with harsh words and even with physical assault before we have had time to evaluate the situation? A little patience can drastically reduce major life long errors. "
Right now I'm very charged so I'll call it a day and go read a book.

Old friends & forever friends
I came across a friend of mine I hadn't seen for a decade.------(that's like 4eva)
We were class mates for 6 years and after high school we were not in touch and didn't bump into each other till today. It just sparked the friendship we had and we'll carry on from now. We chatted for a long time disregarding all the people in the banking hall. Were it not a closed environment I'm sure we'd have been making such noise at just seeing each other. It's really important for the child in you not to die as that's what keeps you smiling.
Reminds me of a quote of what one would want during their last days and it all boils down to friends. It's them that matter most and it's their company you'll want when you want to look back the years.
To friendship!
Still alight?
Yes!
Though this may not prove that indeed I still am afire.
Seven months off??????
It's this energy zing that I sometimes go on about and I make so much noise about it to myself that I decided to shout about it ALOUD.
Drab thsi site may seem but just give me time and I will put on my writing cap on and I'll amaze myself and some people.
Later.
