~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

reaching is not an easy matter

surrendering to lofty ideals
made while climbing over difficult shores
leaves one exhausted and unapproachable

especially when the stairway
is twisted and precariously unstable

so my willingness
to probe through unseen circumstances
leaves me vulnerable and unsure

but it’s the “not knowing”
occupying the ridge over distant cliffs

that keeps me climbing

climbing over what I refuse to imagine
or pretend not to see

Hey Jude,
Nice to see you posting again!
Sometimes the unknown can be exactly what the doctor ordered!
Much peace, light and love,

You have laid out the path to greatness. It never comes easy, and it may not com at all. But it is the process itself that is the most rewarding.

Sometimes we just have the ignore the small details of petty people and look towards the bigger things in life while climbing.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
