LAND MINE OF THE GREAT TREK

“I will be a dear friend to your allies and your antagonists’ worst nightmare…”

Sometimes, the less one knows the safer it is for them. I guess this was the one message ringing loud and clear in the luminary’s mind at the end of the most eventful episode. And what a dramatic encounter this had been! It is one thing knowing what is right… a different matter all together, one of absolute contrast, making an intentional choice to do it…harder still, doing it. It comes as no information at all the hostile tag of war in progress between these two worlds: Knowing and Doing! Even with the writing clearly on the wall. The battle terminally rages on, even now as we speak. Continue reading “LAND MINE OF THE GREAT TREK” →

VEILED 2

Continued from last week…

He frowned at the contrast between the beautiful glowing face and the image depicted by the tattoo. How could the two exist together? Talking of discrepancies, this day seemed to present more than just one illustration on the matter. He felt like one lost in a hostile wilderness going round and round in circles of motion with no progress.

“Are you okay sir?” Came the gentle voice underlined with delicate innocence that caused his heart to race fast. Continue reading “VEILED 2” →

THE SPECTACLE OF THE NATIONS!

We quickly gathered around a visibly distraught Joe as he narrated his sensational ordeal.

“What an embarrassment. What ~~wastage~~ squander! My moment. The glory that never was. I have no idea what happened right there. Everything backfired at the very last moment. All my senses crumbled at the countdown. I just couldn’t keep my head when it counted most. It seemed all I could think of was the idea of elephants drinking water!” Someone within the room struggled with much difficulty to hold his laughter. Continue reading “THE SPECTACLE OF THE NATIONS!” →

WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE

Every espionage operative knows one of their most dreaded moments: The day their cover is blown off! Nothing matches the feel of this one! It’s not always easy to predict the how and when of this often inevitable spine chilling instant. It’s the complex web of multiple players and roles, compounded by an array of intrigues…one thing leading to another in a swift spiraling progression that heightens the tension, fuelling the one breathtaking enigma: The element of surprise! At the grand finale. In the face of an empty sausage shelf at the City store! Continue reading “WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE” →

“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.

ON EAGLE’S WINGS

When all hope is gone

When reflections are solely on the hind

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” →

IN THE FLARE OF A POTENT CAPSULE

News on the tragic turn of events at the battle field began streaming in the early hours of the evening. The Commander-in-Chief had already been flown to hospital, with reports on his progress remaining a tightly guarded secret. There was heavy security presence all around the precincts of the state of the art medical facility and the city. Continue reading “IN THE FLARE OF A POTENT CAPSULE” →
