Raining glory

Yesterday it rained gloriously and I was seated in bed, next to the window. I starred at the grey sky and the leaves being relieved of dirt, the air become health and mother earth accepted all of it whole heatedly.
Often times we're too sad, too broken, too tired to see the beauty that dwells right there in the middle of our pain. Yes it's raining now but the rain has washed us by making us stronger, cleaned our eyes for us to see better and mother earth, which is our heart has learned to endure.
My brother who was a cerebia Paltic patient taught me a lot in nine years. I'm using was because he died at the ninth year of his life and I hope he is OK with me always using his story to teach some soft persons a lesson. My brother, Samuel was a gift even in agony, couldn't walk, talk, or chew properly but he never forgot to laugh. He knew the true meaning of joy to the full. He was always in pain and could only see things horizontally because he was always lying down and carried around on chairs that couldn't even hold his neck properly. My brother was broken but bright, he knew when to light up the room even in his greatest pain.
Sometimes the rainy days may take longer than expected, don't just sit around starring at the sky and waiting for a brink of sunlight. Dance in the rain, get washed by the rain and accept all it gives like mother earth. That is patience, a good attitude while waiting. I bet it'll rain again tomorrow, what are you going to be doing?

Society: Living for others

 Society : Living  Life For Others  My name is Gladys, I have led the wrong life.                            I often play a little game with myself when I'm feeling bad. The game is a simple one, and maybe one that some people might find slightly morbid, but it cuts to the heart of the matter. I ask myself if this thing that is making me feel bad will matter to me when I'm on my death bed. Ninety-nine percent of the time the answer is no. My answer gave a concluding impact. I worry about things that won't matter later in life. I spend lots of my time worrying  about what other people think of me.  I live a life that is not quite what I want and expect.   I submit to other people's demands all the time and live for them. I live for what people will say or think. I led my life for the universe, to satisfy people's expectations of me. But slowly, I died inside. So, I said to myself...

Peace in Chaos

 There in her chamber, seated on her big gold crested cushion, she felt deep peace. Nothing on earth would compare to this calmness that her heart has attained. She dragged in sweet air, held it tight as if it was her last and let it out gracefully as she rested on her cushion. It won't be long before she looses consciousness.  The events of her life in the past few years felt like dark magic. She shut her eyes to see her loved ones, this was the only way she could remember their faces and feel their warmth for they were all connected only by the soul.  She smelt her youngest son, he was only 9 months old before he passed away. "Strange world" she muttered to herself and smirked. It was hard for her to have lost them but the sting of death didn't affect her anymore, she has lost everything that could cause her pain. She felt like her husband was talking to her, she jerked up with eyes wide open in surprise. But he wasn't there, he had died from lung Cancer. She le...

If conscience was a person....

First of all, you assured me that it wasn't your new friends, that they had no power to influence who you've become over the years. I listened and was quiet for months. I let you explore because I thought I was rather too harsh. You grew in the midst of low thinking human beings and your value started to drop. I watched you become so conscious of the most useless things, even the attention of men that could devour you and leave your soul empty. Again I pricked your heart from my chambers but I realized that your eyes were closed and upon them a Vail. Your ears were busy listening to jazz and hip hop. Your hands were full with bags upon bags from the shopping mall in town.  On the day you inhaled cocaine, persuaded by a man old enough to be your grand father, I shouted from the bowels of your heart. But you didn't want to look stupid in front of him, you didn't want him to think you weren't strong enough. You coughed, chocked and smiled in pain and he watched you ...
