I'LL WALK

I'LL WALK

 The road has been rough and tortuous
Checkered with Daunting tasks and worrying realities
A smile here, a pat there
On and on I plodded 
I know this walk will one day be applauded

 Sneering, jeering and a smirk
Was all I could get from my admirers
'Keep the face straight' I told myself
Even they have got a heart heavier than mine
For help you could turn nowhere 
As every man has got his own load to carry

 A problem shared is half solved they say
Now it looks like a problem shared is worry doubled
Looking ahead is what I always do
Hoping this maxim will hold true:
The best days are yet to come

 So in all these I've told myself
The road to go may be arduous and tortuous
If I have to, I'll drudge it
But there is no way I'm ever going to give up

It is in Gen 34, about Dinah, Schechem and the Israelites Ok. So this guy had a crush on Dinah and could not wait to marry her, he decided to have his way with her. Note that he actually lived her. in verse 3 of Gen 34 "His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her." The problem is that he put the cart before the horse. In some rape cases, this is what happens. Going after the cochies (as @solaadio will...

BIRTHDAY MUSINGS

Every November 2 is no different from any other day. It has the same 1440 minutes. However, it’s always special for me because that’s my January 1. Always a new beginning. My circadian clock revolves round the onset of autumnal   equinox . As always, I’m grateful for life, and all the privileges I’ve has the pleasure of sharing with other creatures on earth.    It’s soothing to know that one is not a freak happenstance. I mean, that puts being alive in a totally different perspective. As I try to unravel my purpose for being here, I cannot but notice that the business of being me is a full-time job. Keeps me occupied from November to October, year in, year out. But one cannot be or attempt to be anything all by oneself. Therefore I’m eternally grateful to all those who have made life happen for me so far. You people are too numerous to mention now. I’ll do that as the year progresses. As far as I’m concerned, you are all servants of God. That I’m here is a testimony ...
