Life.

"Life, which is what we call it, Life that is how we say it…"

That part of us that we’ve never understood; often more than once, we confuse it with many things, I vividly remember instances in life when life meant eating, sleeping and playing. We eagerly waited for the chance to execute all these steps, never quite understanding what it stood for. And as I progress deep into the realms of real ‘Life’, I can’t help but smirk at how ignorant about the meaning of life I was.
The journey of life is a complex tapestry interwoven by a master craftsman whose skill is beyond the unimaginable capability ever seen. Life stands for many things, some we know, and some we don’t have the least inkling about. More than everything we’ve ever encountered, never questioning it, ever living it to the fullest. Many progress in what they are doing, some falter, some make it big in it. Life can best be described by the word ’game’. Why? Life is a game, we ask it for oranges, and it gives us mangoes. We plead for mangoes and it gives us oranges. Often times, we don’t see the meaning of what life presents us with, steps that life presents to us, are stepping footstools to greater achievements. Someone said, when one door of opportunity is closed, another is opened. It all depends with how we react to each and every opportunity life offers us. Giving up is at its best, the worst blow we can give back to these opportunities. Life is love and Love is life.

I came across this collection of colors and its psychological meaning and found great references that I can relate with.  " Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. - Oscar Wilde .

The prime of life ;Grasp it.

By
I created this "concept" video three years ago, the words are not my own, credit goes to the pearly and lustrous voice, of a great mentor, and a motivator, Mr. Johnson Mwakazi. I hadn't sat to really take in the words; today I did. Well, that was quite a befitting piece, for the times. Of course, motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis. We look up to our mentors for various reasons, one being to always strive to achieve like they have. To the words, “The prime of life may be great, there is up and there is also down, one may reach the summit, but where else can one move on, except for descending again.” 01:12 Listen on. Gerry

If we wake up.

If today, that little veil covering the small steps of our lives is lifted, will we have enough of face to show the scars of time or stand tall and proudly display the plaques of amazing feats that we've achieved? Will we be able with unwavering demeanor, show the world the number of skeletons in our closets and those silent achievements earned over time? Or will we cower in abject shame as all is laid bare for everyone to see? Today, under the fluorescent dimness of the yellow reading lamp, he slights his palates with the sweetness of condiments sourced from random walks around malls, albeit the cold; a mix of frozen vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry sweetens this 1 am circus. The halls are silent, except for some occasional slow and sometimes fast patter of a random night owl, going for a tinkle.  The new year is a bit laggy, maybe because of a long-awaited break from the normal constantness of haunting lecture halls, and the dreary atmosphere surrounding midterms. It's a re
