MOTHER AFRICA How do you say goodbye to TATA MADIBA

How do you say goodbye when there is no one left to emulate Such a great force has departed from us today 15th December 2013 Who or whom can you even compare his nature and nurture to? He is gone and departed leaving a huge footprint The heart, my heart feels likes its been stung and prickled with a trillion needles The heart, my heart is filled with deep sorrow and sadness There is no way to compare the events of today He has departed with huge footprints to fill Although he rests in a peaceful place, will the world continue to be as peaceful? Will we learn from today and not yesterday,in order to shift towards becoming greater people We will continue to carry the torch he has passed onto to us, or will we let it fall? Will we feel courageous enough to keep going with the same magnitude? Will we be strong enough to continue to carry his strong force? Will we continue to be passionate enough to learn from today, in oder to succeed and become his successors in life? Will we be generous enough to stop still and realise, we do not need to look for another person to emulate, because we already had that person? Will we understand what he has instilled in us, to be able to achieve greater good? Will we feel comfortable to just be watchers and none active participants in our own discourse in life, as well as in our communities? Can we MOTHER AFRICA take a moment to stand still, feel the stillness of our hearts, and feel the deep deep sorrow? Now MOTHER AFRICA with all that you have felt look outward and beyond yourselves and recognise the OTHER By recognising the OTHER can you, we, us become one? Can we the people stop just being the ME & I and become a WE & US for the greater good Feel him deep down in the core of heart in order to shift the YOU, into the WE & US There is no one else who needs to be or do for us, we need to do for ourselves There is no need to be looking for others in order to do and become greater MOTHER AFRICA please do not drop the torch he has handed to US today. Yesterday is gone, today matters the most, tomorrow does not exist MOTHER AFRICA, hold his torch with all your might and do not let it falter, or waiver for generations to come MOTHER AFRICA recognise you need not to look to anyone, for you already had him and still have him in your souls to SHIFT THE WORLD MOTHER AFRICA, we your children are responsible for becoming greater from today MOTHER AFRICA although our TATA MADIBA has departed our earth today, his soul remains with us eternally and forever. Lets not let his vision, love for his people-US die

MADIBA YOUR LIGHT WILL SHINE FOREVER

When a man dies the first thing we want to do is talk about him We want people to know and understand how good the man was We talk and talk, and tell stories of the man. The man lived so he could pave the way for us. Let's not prolong the talking for too long and do just as he did As much as he would like us to talk and remember him endlessly- he would want us to do Now just imagine if we became just like him for the greater good Now just imagine if we emulated him He lived so he could pave the way In death he would only be smiling, if we stood up and did something to achieve greater good Now imagine if we turned the world upside down and did something to achieve an equilibrium Imagine doing good for the better & greater good He valued things we at times take for granted- in Freedom he wanted to enable access to education, food, clean water, better health and shelter He legacy needs to remain- I found myself becoming angry and saddened by what the world has lost The only way we can continue his legacy is by demonstrating that we can continue to achieve greatness in the best interest of humanity - In his death we can learn to be better human beings. Today I cry for the fact that we still have a long way to go and have yet to achieve an equilibrium level of goodness We have yet to reach a stage where all human beings are entitled freedom of basic needs which we at times take for granted such as food, clean water, shelter and medication. And better yet the freedom to achieve an education to enable people to achieve goodness for themselves, their families and communities Today I cry for we sat for so many years and did not choose or try to emulate the life of a good example Today I cry about how we talk about how a great man he was. What an extraordinary sight it is to see us reaching out in various forms -in communities and in various social media forums Today I cry and wonder how long we will continue to talk about how great a man he was, by playing over and over videos of him, by sharing images of him, and splashing them on various social media platforms The day I stop crying and start dancing will be when we start doing and continue his legacy to achieve greater good for human kind The day I stop crying will be when every person has the freedom and access to basic human needs The day I stop crying will be when greed becomes history and corruption becomes a myth which once excited The day I stop crying will be when youth in Africa are entitled their civil liberties to become greater leaders The day I stop crying will be when older and traditional politicians drop their pride and embrace, cherish and value their own people The day I stop crying will be when a girl child is valued as a human being and encouraged to focus on being a child and her education The day I stop crying will be when girls bodies are respected, cherished and worshipped and not abused in any shape of form through cultural rituals or forced marriages The day I stop crying will be when poverty becomes zero and none existent, then and only then will a family not feel the need to sacrifice their own in order to survive and not die from starvation The day I stop crying will be when politicians realise that their own people are of value and stop being greedy at the cost of their own people The final day I will stop crying and start dancing non stop will be when Nelson Mandela's legacy has been actualised by every human being on earth How great would it be to know that his life was worth living and his freedom was sacrificed in the end to achieve goodness How great would it be for Madiba now departed to have achieved the aftermath of goodness through us The day I will dance forever is when we have learnt the basic lessons of humanity and achieved goodness. Wouldn't it be great if we achieved the basic lessons we repeatedly continue to fail. Wouldn't it be great to ultimately achieve an equilibrium of goodness for the greater good of humankind by each and everyone of us taking ownership in a good cause The day I will dance forever, will be when I see it and hear it -MADIBA RIP forever loved, your light will shine forever

Chatting with My Gilfriend.........Paul Walker (R.I.P.)

It is clear to me for the first time. I have been stuck and running from something for a long time. The only person and thing I have been running from is me and only me. There is nothing else and no one else in this world that can achieve and make things come true for me but only me. I went walking in London yesterday, Satuarday 30th November 2013; and got lost in the world of the rich and richer. I walked into a street which did not symbolise me, and a world which appeared so out of reach. I felt as though I was an intruder into a life that was not mine. I walked by kids that symbolised wealth and felt not wealthly and felt as though they could look through me. I felt as though I may not be ‘good enough.’ I felt as though I was not entitled. It seemed like a life so far out of reach from me, a world which would never belong to me. At the same time I wondered whether I would want or desire this world to belong to me? Would I want to belong to this world, where material things cost an extraordinary amount? For me its about obtaining a freedom in life, where I do not have to feel or regret being or doing. I am at a point where I have reached the peak of lifes frustrations. I am frustrated by what is far out of reach, yet so close to me and in reach. I am the non active participant in my own life. Instead I have opted for assuming, consuming and admiring in others what could be my life. I am envious for what many have worked tones of hours and sacrificed for. I wish for the easy way into life; for my life to change for the fact that I want it to change. Why should it not change, for me? I feel entitled for it to change willingly with me being a non active participant in it. I admire the doers for they do, I admire them for the ‘freedom,’ they have obtained. So today, Paul Walker (Actor and Director) passed away. We were informed for some of us, who didn’t know that he had a fifteen year old daughter. You start to think and ponder what life means, and what a tragic loss it is; for someone so young to have died in such a tragic way. You start to evaluate life and what it all means. Ironically he died, as though a script was written in advance of how his life would pan out. Not only was he an actor of the same tragic fate that would take his life; that being race cars. Who in the world would have determined his discourse of life would end so tragically? The only difference is that he lived. Or one can assume he lived and pursued what he wanted in life, destined or not destined to. My friend and I want chatted today about, and concluded what we wanted at this stage of our lives.We have seen it and learnt from it (them-men) and decided where our head space is now (in the here and now). We have been schooled in the mastery of what men want at some level. They have spelled it out to us, a million of times whilst we have been in some of transitional relationships. We redefined what heard and wanted to hear and made the excuses, so that we could rationalise in our own heads that it was okay. It was okay, because we were not in the appropriate head space. At the end of it all, we concluded we are at the stage of where flings have become meaningless, where a males ego about what they need without giving a second thought of communicating commitment to the other has become meaningless. We have become skilled at deciphering the messages in the subtle tones of men to know what it is they really want; and to hear it loud and clear. When you reach that stage you begin to understand what is of value in life. What is of value is you and what you ultimately want in a relationship and being able to define 'IT,' and spell it out to the other. Life is too short for playing along for the sake of playing along and to please just of the sake of pleasing. Life is about being true to what one wants in life and in a partner. Life is too short to be playing games, of cat and mouse. Life is too expensive to make it too cheap at the sake of fulfilling a cheap thrill only to come down from it. In the end we concluded, WE ARE IMPORTANT. So in being important, we can define that we do not need to dress up to show up, in order to be spotted as an easy way in. We do not need to spell, out what we want in order to get what we want. A man who is ready to commit will commit, they will know and understand what is important to a woman they are ready to commit to. They will not take for granted what they have and value it as gold, that no longer needs to be a treasure, cause IT (SHE) has already been found. We have learned today by the tragic loss of a beautiful boy- young man, a treasured soul that life is too beautiful and too bountiful to take it for granted. May your soul rest in peace beautiful soul and thanks for showing up and gracing us with your presence – Paul Walker "http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25173331">
