Shoe less! Shoes galore!

 

Self examination and soul searching can be done upon reflection on ones past and examination of the present.  How one makes use of his shoe less days and his shoe galore days is left entirely up to him or her.

It is positive to relish in the belief that truth sets us free. And that to become a chameleon would only bind us to the prison of fickleness.

My morning’s musings;

There stands a little biddy girl of 3 in front of her home which she considered the best in the world. Even when the wind blew its wrath through the slats on the walls, and she was cold she just didn’t exist but lived.  

Even though she knew then and now that being shoe less was due to poverty she still with fondness tenderly enfolds these moments in her heart.  

Her feet were bare and she remembers crunching autumn leaves underfoot. She felt the splendour of nature then and still fondly remembers those moments with much zeal today. Some days she yearned for her feet to be dressed in shoes, especially when crunching went very wrong and her feet would be blistered from the rough ground.

She remembers a day not long ago when she crunched beautiful autumn leaves. She looked down at her feet and smiled a sigh. Her feet were not blistered anymore. It was warm and cosy. With the cosiest leather boots that kept them toasty. But she never forgot those days of crunching autumn leaves with bare feet that ended up bleeding and blistered.

Her past is what motivates her to be wholesome today.  She thanks that which was broken for within the breaks light shone through making the path forward easy enough to see. She is what she is and will continue to be who she is. Body, mind and spirit a whole.

Life Giving Sustenance

The life giving sustenance  ‘’water’’

We take this life giving force for granted whilst right around us there are millions of people left without. I sometimes wonder if humans will ever douse the flame of thirst suffered by their fellow comrades.

Ceiling on Desires

Ceiling on Desires

We live in homes with ceilings over the rooftops which protects us from all sorts of hazards. Our bodies were made to withstand a certain limit of good and bad. If the roof had no ceiling it will be an ill thatched roof and the harshness will pour in and in time our bodies will be consumed by ailments.  Likewise humans are a bundle of emotions and desires. We were created to consume only so much of these bundles. When there is an overload an imbalance will occur bringing about disharmony between body, mind and spirit. The ultimate creator of harm on one self is the ‘Mind’. I have reached an awareness that by placing a ceiling over my desires I can bend the ego, mend the mind and bring an end to the disharmony.

Another Year Gone By

Another Year Gone By!

Time ticked away

In life’s sway.

Here I am, gone no where

In love I thrived

Wisdom I imbibed.

Common sense never forsaken

Values being the essence

Life’s experiences never for granted taken.

No excuses to make

None to fake.

 

In life’s game for me it’s fair

In truth to bear, any crosses may come my way.

A sturdy journey one of fulfilling humbleness I shall undertake in life’s sway.

With Love Nelline Naidoo

No Charge

"No Charge"

Our little boy came up to his mama in the kitchen this evening
While she was fixing supper
And he handed her a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' her hands on her apron she read it and this is what it said

For mowin' the yard 5 dollars
For makin' my own bed this week 1 dollar
For going to the store 50 cents
For playin' with my little brother while you went shoppin' 25 cents
For taking out the trash 1 dollar
For gettin' a good report card 5 dollars
And for rakin' the yard 2 dollars
Total amount owed 14 dollars and 75 cents

Well as mama looked at him standin' there expectanly
And I could see the memories flashin' through her mind
And so she picked up the pen and turnin' the paper over
This is what she wrote and I read it to him

For the nine months she carried you growing inside her no charge
For the nights we sat up with you doctoring you praying for you no charge
For the time and the tears that you've caused through the years there's no charge
When you added all up the full cost of our love is no charge

For the nights filled with dread and the worries ahead no charge
For advice and for knowledge and the cost of your college no charge
For the toys food and clothes and for wiping your nose there's no charge
When you added all up the full cost of our love is no charge

Well when I finished readin' he had big tears in his eyes
And he looked up at his mother and he said mama I sure do love you
Then he took the pen and in great big letter he wrote Paid In Full

When you added all up the cost of real love is no charge

Hunger Hurts

Raw is the pain of hunger
Fighting with you like a serpent
Energy depleting that of the hungry
A blackness, a bleakness beyond the imaginable.

The Best Business Is To Mind Your Own Business

Over the year’s life’s lessons have taught me a powerful truth. This holds firm in my value system which I have passed on to my own children and many people around me. ‘’The idle mind is the devils workshop.’’
We come with a source of energy which when used correctly can manifest in great inner and outer successes in life. When this energy is manipulated in the incorrect way you become a failure in both the spiritual and the phy...sical life.
One tends to stagnate like a putrid over congested river and eventually this river will stagnate and dry out. And we are aware that life cannot take growth in a place that lacks nourishment.
If this energy is manipulated in the correct way and is projected towards one’s self, growth will take place in leaps and bounds in the spiritual and physical sense. You will never cultivate anger, jealousy, hatred and greed which are the four fast friends’ of evil which when given life will entwine itself entangling you in disharmony, bringing with it much dissatisfaction which will be labelled by yourself as failure.

Let me tell you that this is not simple to attain. 'Discrimination' is the master key to setting us free from all negative aspects which will enable success and disable failure. So take that step to use up your most valuable treasure of energy to discriminate, mend and bend the mind-thoughts which will help you to control your senses, thus preventing you from minding and tending to the business of others.
I wish you in this precious moment many successes in both the spiritual and the physical. With love nn.

Falcon

Sharing An Experience;

This Was One Moment In Time For Me Exactly Two Years Ago When The Falcon Decided It Was My shoulder That It Wanted And not It's Masters.
Thus I was curious about it's symbolism. Upon reflection of the two years which passed by I see the absolute truth.
...

Throughout history, culture and myth, Falcons symbolize superiority, spirit, light, freedom and aspiration. The Falcon is a solar emblem for success, victory and rising above a situation.
At its core, the Falcon represents visionary power, wisdom, and guardianship. This powerful bird awakens visionary power, and leads you to your life purpose. The Falcon carries with it a message of transition and change – perhaps in your vocation, work, career, etc.
The fact that this Peregrine chose to show itself to you is a powerful message in itself. This is a call for you to pay attention to the your performance, your function, your actions.
Falcons encourage us to calculate and strategize. If we have a goal, Falcons beckon us to make plans and strategies to obtain these goals. Falcons are all about focus – strong, one-pointed focus. When they show themselves to us, we are being called to focus on our desires and our goals, and do what is necessary to bring our desires into our reality.
Manifested itself perfectly in my life! With love nn

Get Connected

Get Connected!

The moment you open your heart to the acceptance that you are a blessed miracle in life, you will feel connected to all that is. And all that is, is your true reality, is within you.
Allow it's embracement, bask in its love, happiness, peace and harmony.
Look at yourself daily and say to yourself;

I accept my beauty inside and outside.
I thrive on my true reality, that which is infinite love.
I nurture that which will create positivism in my life.
I cherish the miracle that I am.
Thus, you will begin at the root of all beginnings.
In doing so your hearts door is open to receive.
I do not accept negativity of any sort.
I will do everything possible to feel wholeness, for wholeness is holiness.
I will embrace peace within me and all that is around me.
I will focus on self love, for I firstly need to love myself before loving anything else in creation.
I am.

A Journey Which Leads The Other Way

In this foreign place
I continue my personal race.

In the desert land
As a woman I stand.

I am not here to stay
My bridge is built and
leads the other way.

I shall leave the dust and sand of this land
To go to the land where
I will hold my lovers hand.
