In the wake of the eye.....

In a wake of the eye.....

New York 'the city that never sleeps' is filled with a deafening silence.
In Paris the 'city of romance ' even a pin drop could be heard. London & Rome 'the eternal city' is quiet.
And Nairobi is still....
Our cities have turned to ghost towns
Churches, mosques,  parks,famous  monuments sites, restaurants and stadiums are silent.
Mecca is empty!.
Disney is not showing its Majic.
The busiest places are now hospitals and cemeteries.
Famous football leagues, global fashion shows, festivals all put on stand still.
Businesses are going online , major meetings cancelled and the line the developed and developing is blurred.
Celebrities have stopped celebrations. Our titles and status do not matter right now but what matters is humanity and staying alive.

Regardless of some of our multiple nationality cards and citizenship we cannot go outside and our savings are being used  to purchase the bare necessities.
Our outdoor clothes are now gathering dust while we get used to wearing our indoor clothes that have become the latest fashion statement.
We went to watch animals in cages but now as we are caged up the animals roam freely watching us.
And with all this happening the sun is still rises and the birds still sing, plants still grow and animals still feed. Life carries on if not just very differently.

And when all this is over and we reflect on it let's reflect with a lesson learnt that Life is precious, living is a blessing  and nothing matters more than life itself. If health is good everything will be good.  Health of the earth and all its inhabitants.
One lesson I take forward is to never take life lightly and live every moment in its fullest.

Life is essential , everything else is just a frilly decoration.

Every one of us starts the new year with contemplation of everything we want to achieve, goals and inspiration for the new year and as we do that we need to remind ourselves to be easy on ourselves and experience every day as it comes, be in the present and avoid over thinking, remembering always that every single drop makes the ocean.  Today, the first day of the new year started for me with optimism, hopes and wishes for an even better year than last. As the first night of the year draws near I'm reminded of all the possibilities that await as I turn the first page of a new chapter today.  While reflecting on the last one year and looking towards the next, I'm also reminded of my countless blessings and the many things I should be thankful and grateful for. As I cherish deeper what I have a part of my soul bleeds for the many who are facing suffering, str

Place to Call Home...

 During uncertainty trial tribulations and chaos the best place to call home is where we find peace and glimmers of hope/ rays of light ! Wherever that may be ...with family, pursuing passion, hobbies, travel ,nature, seeing a sunrise .and sometimes it is in simplicity of comradeship and companionship.  Sunrise is born from this idea.                                                        Sunrise - oil on canvas - March 2021
