THE “LIGHT” FACTOR

There was this jackpot syndrome playing games at me all along my path as I grew up. If the ultimate breakthrough was not going to be at a lottery, then it would be among the gamblers in a casino some place or a lottery at another. I was always expecting it, anxiously so. It felt this close yet elusive. I burnt my fingers a few times with con men, tripped and bruised my toes often in hostile terrains. Continue reading “THE “LIGHT” FACTOR” →

“I CAN SEE!”

It gives me much pleasure to accept the Illuminating Blogger Award Nomination courtesy of Organized Living Essentials.Her sense of detail will clearly leave you inspired. http://www.organizedlivingessentials.com/.I’m grateful to her for this honor.

In keeping with the rules ,the nominee should visit the award site (http://foodstoriesblog.com/illuminating-blogger-award/) and leave a comment indicating they have been nominated and by whom. (This step is so important because it’s the only way that we can create a blogroll of award winners).

Next , I have to share one random thing about myself. Light!! It’s all in the distinction that lies between looking and seeing…better still perceiving. It truly stands out for me as a major spectacle of our times.Back at the drawing board,it’s always offered such great fascination just how so much could have turned out differently if only I had been able to see and perceive at the point of looking.

In the same breath arises the aspect of form-Indeed the various forms of light.I figure this alludes to a constant reality of each form depicting a picture.Some pictures are genuine,others false but all are pictures-right?And pictures give direction.They inspire vision.The vulnerability of walking in deception, worse still finding myself in the wrong destination sends shivers all over me! Finally, I reckon not all light is visible with the naked eye.This ushers in the possibility of the ability to see the invisible!I guess this forms a coveted combination of sight and vision…it’s got to be genuine though! My daily strive is in pursuit of the perfect light,my ultimate dream proclamation: “I can see!”

And now here are links to five blogs I follow. It’s been a joy interacting with these.Each one unique in their own respect.I recommend a reflective stop over while acknowledging the great posts by many others in our great community.I look forward to even more wonderful times in days ahead.

Doh-Ray-Mi

The spokesman walked brusquely up the wooden stair case in the wee hours of the morning brandishing his half eaten roast Tilapia. The bone framework was a vivid display of the excellence with which he was undertaking the surgery. He slumped to his seat, his eyes casually looking round the room where his friends spoke in low tones with others drifting to sleep while others still like him, the love balm and the stethoscope reflected in solitude.

A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH

Growing up wasn’t always easy, especially walking at night! Such dreaded moments were synonymous with unique first hand encounters with the world’s extinct and mystical species such as the dinosaur, angels and demons. Strangely, I was never armed with a camera any of those nights so I was unable to prove my point to any one! A flashlight presented a magical touch in a moment like that; tranquility, order and clarity instantaneously restored. Continue reading “A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH” →
