LET'S PRAY by Sybil Saber

Let's pray
Bow towards a holy land
Weep on the walls of a holy city
Let blood on a sacred ground
Pin a staff by a riverbank

Let's pray
I've found a spot in a crumbling fortress
I've made an altar on Mount Vulcan

Let's pray
Make it fervent, make it calm
Make it subtle, make it fire
Give me freedom, keep me bound
Give me chaos, give me salvation
Call me child then, make me the enemy
Tie me down with a banner of peace
Cuff me in chains and tell me "damnation"!
When I seek
Show me a path called mystery
When I ask
Give me a potsherd to ease my inquisition

Almighty, all-being
Divided amongst men
Each brings a portion and call it only
Each shows a path and call it true.
Each way is upright, the rest, the fate of Babylon
Each is just, all others are iniquity

Let's pray
That when I see, I'm forever lost
That when I'm lost, I'm forever free
That when I'm free, I'm forever found

Ooin! You Are Doing Well.

I wrote this especially for you. Yes, you! These are hard times, the economy is slowly turning upside down, there is a virus out there, your lifestyle has been in a way restricted, so much happening in, so little time. But, here you are alive, breathing, reading this and happy I believe. Ooin! You are doing well. The past few months has tested my will to live, when the lockdown started I would sit and complain about being bored, sometimes I would pray for it to end and sometimes bouts of depression threatened to take a hold of me. This is me appreciating myself and everyone in a somewhat similar situation for calming the raging storm in your soul, for being alive and keeping your head above the water. Dear You, there is a lot to celebrate about you, you have and are making progress, I applaud you for starting that project, I applaud you for finishing that project, for sending in your résumé, for taking on that job, for volunteering, for starting up your business, for being ...

The Adulting Dilemma; The Redundant Growth Phase.

  They did tell us many lies about this adulting thing. Many lies I say! One of the many things they "forgot" to mention is the Redundant Growth Phase. I don't know if you have experienced this but I have and still do. This phase is as weird as it sounds. It doesn't even feel like it's just a phase that will pass, this goes on from your teenage years to your adult years till when it feels like going away. Will this stage ever outgrow us?? I honestly have no idea. I'll try to explain this annoying phase. Imagine this: You, a fine young person, you know you have achieved a lot, you look at yourself in the mirror, a million and one dozen times and try to say how much proud you are of yourself but you just can't. Scratch the mirror. There's this constant feeling that the world has moved on and left you behind. Nobody wrote an official letter telling you the world is about to move. Nobody told you where it's moving to, but the world is moving and you ar...

  H eyyyyo !! Yard Girl here! It's a new month! Happy May!  So, I was going to do the new month new me thing but Nah! Scratch that. Same old. Same old but a whole lot of things are going to change with this new month. This girl is going to be a graduate! Big news, no? Massive news, yes? I'm excited, you know.  First off, there's something I just recently discovered, it's called The Post-Pandemic Effect, you know me and my theories. Lol. I'll explain.  The Post-Pandemic Effect is mostly common among students, it occurs when you've been temporarily uprooted from a certain routine for an unusual period and you're suddenly forced back into that system. Then it dawns on you, how do you adjust? Studying? Social life? Friends? Finances? Are you still going to fit in?  I had to leave my job when school resumed. I admit I got used to the money. The money was good. I loved that place. I still can't get over that money and my daily routine. Lol. Surviving on a mont...
