Errors upon errors and the consequence thereof

Looking back at this past week it seems I have been having incredibly early mornings, regardless of the lack of sleep, my heart rejoices that I got to at least accomplish set tasks for each day. One may feel exhausted after completing set duties, but that up-to-date charged-up feeling, always welcome.

Brings to mind days waking up early morning during school days, such as memories of junior high school where we would have weekly tests based on that chapter of learning during the week. I didn’t favour those weekly tests because if you failed on some of the questions, one was given the chance to go back and do the corrections. Not that it changed the initial mark record. I’m guessing it was a way of making sure you get to fully understand what has been taught and hopefully gain some sort of knowledge through those exercises.

To Err is human.

The remainder of the line, “to forgive divine.” But I don’t want to dwell on that part of forgiveness just yet. We all have made mistakes in this life that has probably brought upon us great loss, sadness, along with much regret. One thing is sure, It is not often that life offers the opportunity to make corrections, go back and do it differently. Although I am a true believer in correcting mistakes where one recognises and acknowledges their errors, and where one has erred, one must make amends. 

Many times we have faced situations that have left us to deal with unwelcome consequences that could result in major losses and changing our lives forever leaving us drowning in a pool of regret.

Sometimes we make choices at moments thinking the best of the outcome yet only aids in future difficulties causing much chaos not only to oneself but to those around moreso loved ones. Still, we have done things and made choices that cause much grief and confusion. As a result, we gain a loss of appetite, many sleepless nights, wild and crazy thoughts fill the mind, and it has been known that in such situations we could then commit desperate acts in those desperate circumstances only to end up burning on a hot seat to now face unsavoury consequences.

There are times we not aware we are creating errors, there are times we commit errors in the hope no one will get hurt, or maybe we can find a resolution before dire penalties become the result. There are times we try to rectify these errors but only seem to dive deeper into a mass of confusion and create an even worse and unbearable situation. The pain and shame as a result of any unfortunate actions or words expressed.

We learn we grow, we hope, and we pray for the strength to know better and to be able to do better.

It is what it is, we are here to stay.

   In the year 2024, I find myself reflecting on the enduring misconception held by many people who identify as heterosexual that homosexuality is nothing more than a sexual desire. It pains me to see how some have convinced themselves that those who are homosexual are incapable of anything beyond their orientation. Despite knowing that homosexuality has existed long before the time of Jesus, there are still those who view it as a mere choice that can be switched on or off at will. It is important to remember that homosexuality is not a new phenomenon nor is it something that can be eradicated or changed at will.  Throughout my own journey, I have witnessed the struggles faced by individuals who identify as homosexual, including the need to hide their true self and endure the hatred and discrimination of society. It breaks my heart to think of the centuries of denial and secrecy that have been forced upon those who simply wanted to be true to themselves.  Homosexuality did not start wi

A Journey of Continuous Learning in an ever Changing World.

I am reminded of my primary school days, after the school holiday breaks we would be required to write up compositions about what we did during the school break. Those who were fortunate enough to have been travelled out of the city or even the country, wrote fantastic stories while others, even though they wrote fictional stories still managed to use their imagination and write good stories.  I always struggled to complete one paragraph, I found it difficult to transform my thoughts onto paper, as hard as I tried it was clear writing stories was not one of my strengths. Over the course of my school days, I had a dream of becoming an author. Verbally I could tell good stories and I had a wild imagination, but the challenge of getting these words from my head on to paper seemed difficult.  I enjoyed the school library and spent a lot of time exchanging books to read, I loved that feeling of being immersed into other worlds as different authors told their stories with such amazing brilli

In The Silence of Night.

  In the stillness of midnight's embrace, Under moonlit skies, miles apart. Missing you, my love, beyond measure, Longing for us to be together. Each moment lingers, time stands still, yearning, Hoping for love so true. In the quiet of night, I silently plea, Hoping you feel the same for me.
