Does
this post mark the return of Da Poet? Nope.
Why
not? One may wonder after all this while. To put it plainly, I've always been
doing me. Thank God I'm still doing me ☺.
Be proud
of who you are.
The
fact that I haven't posted anything for all those years doesn't mean I had
left. This only marks my resurfacing to the blogosphere and not necessarily my
return.
So,
what have I been up to?
Time 'Driven' (From 2011-2017)
That's
quite a long while.
Which
reminds me of a Schopenhauer quote, ‘the common man is not concerned about the
passage of time the man of talent is driven by it.’
From
one adversity to another, I went through tough times. Had a really bad luck at
some point- especially when I became homeless- I was totally on the skids. Yet
as tough as it may sound, my social sense of responsibility kicked in at that
moment; not only as a Third World Writer but also as a New World Writer.

Thank God I realized I wasn't just doing it for
me. Not
getting into details for now, what matters most is the fact that God gave me protection through His
unconditional LOVE.
More so when I
was out there in the cold at night with nothing to eat, my empty belly
grumbling. Yawning every moment.
Later having my spirituality mutilated and
being subjected to psychological trauma for six months. And even worse.
Endurance
From living a life supposedly scripted by a sorcerer or a spellbinder to walking free.
How
I weathered the storm? Only God takes the credit. I had already fallen off with
no promise of a restitution or recovery.
I
believe in blessings and miracles. Contentment is key though. Contentment is a
factor. For instance, I've never been afraid of being broke, as long as I can
touch the lives of others through certain gestures.
You
have to keep on walking, life is one big road. Faith, Hope, Strong Affirmations and Prayers kept me moving.
Music & Poetry reserved my sanity.
No doubt.

Love
The
long overdue silence wasn't a result of a 'bad break'. On perspective, every
situation I faced only made me stronger. I wouldn't change a thing if time was
to be taken back.
Love
has been recognized in the teaching engraved on the Sphinx: "Love is the
secret of life; in the cave of the Anchorites near Mt. Sinai, “Love with wisdom
is the secret of life," and again at the doorway of the great rock near
Deir, Petraea, "The torch of life is fed by the oil of Love".
A
book I once read by Al Quran (How to Bring the Magic out Your Mind)
suggested that we should say to self always, "I'll try to be always in
love. In love with everything.
When you love your life you are able to say, “This
is my happy day."
I've always in the moment.
Call
it a come up, 'cuz I'm about to turn things up ☻☺
