Favour was sent as an angel to save me from the pressures of life, imminent death, and constant distress. We thought we were knocking on heaven’s door, not realising that we were at the entrance of the pits of hell. Serendipity is scattered all around the vast channels of my soul; little wonder we kept escaping the arrows of damnation.

I am trying my best to preach this message from my present level of awareness, but I must journey much deeper if I am to meet face-to-face with inner peace at the seat of my soul. Will wisdom let me into its humble abode or am I doomed for despair? This message is brought to you from the deepest depths of my sorrow and solitude.

As I drown deeper into the oceans of my soul, my grief evaporates. l am empty and naked on the inside while surrounded by the darkness of creation and the silence of the beginning. Growth on the inside requires the destruction of the ego but growth on the outside requires the ego to be fed. This is the duality of our existence and where can we find the balance to keep ourselves sane?

As I wander inside the building of my soul, all the rooms are labelled with names that seem familiar. Love occupies the living room, sacrifice lives in the kitchen of preparation, peace and joy seem to be best friends because they share the same room, and silence always fills the air.
