I was
hoping I could crack some “expensive jokes” (this week with my pen),
But Selah
said to me “You aren’t off beam… and can illumine even better than what you up
for”
So I paused
and thought, “Could Selah be right by her thrust?”
She was as
always a good source of my inspiration after all.
And may be
today again, she will but brain my hand.
Everyone has a source of inspiration, which may be
“he”, “she” or “it”. Just as everyone has a God.
Every soul has a body with which without, it cannot
live successfully and steadily in this ephemeral host.
Thus, the
earlier the unearthing of one’s source or sources of inspiration as the case
may be, the better the chance of one’s sojourn would be better for it.
Be ye not
a dreamer, building castles in the air,
Be ye the
dream builder, with all sense of seriousness
Like a
spider on its task to web.
Be ye not
a pessimist, tired of trying.
Be ye an
ant: neither retreating nor surrender,
To the squash
and scorch from man and sky.
Be ye the
proof of your Maker,
By your
deeming self.
Be ye not a
dream marauder!
And there is
another one Selah failed not to leave me with:
“When
everyone continues staring at you,
And the
sky was not by your side,
Pause and
think.”
Like Selah, I
am leaving you with inspiring pieces from intellectual minds. So ponder over
every drop of ink (like this write) in them and don’t hesitate to drop yours today
for everyone’s reading delight! PEN CLUB; Practice to Perfection.
