This is to you dreamer

This is to you dreamer.
Your dream is just for an appointed time. Wait!  Don’t faint. You would get it
Hold on tighter with the fist of struggle, never to let it go. Hang on when the winds blows.

















Block your ears when the noise in the market is too much. 
Shut your eyes when they display otherwise before your face.
Your dream is just very nearby.

This is to you dreamer,
The path to dreaming is lonely, dark and unknown.
You will need a map always. Please ask for one.

Don’t be lost in your dreams.
Don’t keep your mouth shut. Someone is listening.
The streets of dreams are shady and unending.
You need to anchor on the Dream Giver and His manual.

The air of dreams are clogging, you need the breath of life.
There are many distractions, many discouragements, and many fears.
They are mere false appearances; never real
Hang on dreamer, you are about to get your dream to reality

See. 
Open your eyes and see. 
Tune you ears to the frequency of the giver
You are the dream
You are born of this
You are born for this
Keep on dreaming, dreamer

Out of the Walls 'Get Out of your comfort zone!'

I feel large in this room. It is my space. I feel sad when am about stepping out of it. When am alone, I can do and on do; sleep in XYZ, raise my legs, forget the prim and proper my mother taught me. I can wear any cloth and sing any song without any worries that someone is watching or listening. When I am distressed I rush to my bed and curdle with my pillows. I lie flat all naked by myself. With all the comfort I think I enjoy in my bedroom, when i step out; it's a different game. It no longer seems like the massive king size bed, on queens quarters with royals at my door step. I realize, it’s just the comfort tiny little room with shared facilities on a rented mortgaged improperly surrounded by other little rooms.

What's my point?

Check this out!




Earth compared to the smaller planets (Venus, Mars, Mercury and Pluto.


Earth compared to the larger planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.






The larger planets compared to the Sun






Our Sun compared to Sirius, Pollux and Arcturus


Sirius, Pollux and Arcturus compared to Rigel, Aldebaran, Antares and Betelgeuse





If you were to step out of the walls of your comfort zone. It is just as simple as, “Your world is very small, See bigger." If you think your world is too big to contain others. I must add at this point that it is too small to contain great others. I have a favorite proverb. I like to narrate a story or used the proverb in questioning my friends, who supposedly think, they are better than others. I ll pose the same to you. If you feel your father's farm is the largest, try visiting a couple of others. You would be surprised at how little your comfort zone is. Your world is smaller than you think, friend. You need to step out of your boundaries and expand your world. Quit thinking, me, myself & I. Quit seeing the world with your myopic eyes and see the world with the telescopic eye of God. There is more room for you outside that little comfort.

Beautiful hope-'When dreams fade'

As a child, I had unending wishes,
I wished, I met a genie, who made all my dreams come true, no matter how small or wide

I wished, I snapped reality with my fingers, in a matter of seconds
I wished all the boxes ticked right, no matter the cost
I wished, I finished every assignment, even if I dragged all the way

As I grew older, I started feeling disappointed in a few dreams that eloped completion
And the many wrongs running down the memory lane
And the other boxes that never ticked right

I sought for wisdom
With the little, 
I now know that
It is a fresh beginning,
A world made new, where all failures are past and over,
Friendships lost closed in the diaries,
All the wish and to-do list done
Tears shed dried,
All bleeding wounds healed by the night.

Part of yesterday might have been an error
And some of tomorrow would include failures
Part of the millennium might carry sad days and windy nights
There is hope that when I fall, I will rise seven times.
There is assurance of stillness, where joy is complete and love is unending.
Yesterday is now part of the histories
Tomorrow is my future


This is my beautiful hope this morning.
This is the reason why I want to wake up again
