when the words won't come...

Was it Kojo or Rethabile who reminded us of this just the other day? Been trying to write.For the longest time(it sure feels). Did not manage to come up with anything. It's been weeks; months, even. Closer to two years, to be exact. Yet there is so much that's been going through my mind. How can I find my voice,again?

The thing


Is there a difference between

knowing what we want

in life and actually going for it?

is this difference the very act

of going for it? The thing maybe

crystal clear in our minds, but the

going for it on a day to day basis

renders it a bit elusive.

at times, it actually seems

to be ever sliding farther

and farther - the more we

attempt to get it!



How can it be then, that our getting

the thing or not, is largely

up to us?



Do we need to factor in

the friends, weather, mood

and chutzpah that can

always influence how far

we stretch to get near

the thing on any day?



But now, seeing that

when we look around us,

we conclude that

the great sportsmen, actresses

and successful professionals

among us, have got their thing,

we feel we see that the thing

is within reach.



Maybe then, the key is

to find the thing,

firstly, inside us,

then live with and by it.
