Dedicated to the News industry… So, here we are: Dwellers of the concrete jungle, Prisoners of our own, man-made environment; the physical outside distorting the vision inside: work in boxes, live in boxes, think in boxes. Force-fed your vision of the world we inhabit, Conditioned to accept the barrage of … More You suck!
I like rooftops because they are freedom; Every building has one, And every person knows this – yet most don’t give it a second thought; and don’t know what lies above. A world of freedom, An escape from human-kind, The biggest wide-open space in existence: open sky, endless horizons, indistinguishable layers expertly constructed by the … More Rooftops
Forget not the writer in you. He’s still around, just off in his own world – neglected by your husbandliness, your constrictingly-employed state of daily affairs, your life which has moved so fast to a place you always wanted to be, yet didn’t think to imagine the effects on him. In days gone by … More Remember me
When did life get this complicated? When did the innocence and ignorance and bliss of childhood depart? How is it that grown-up stuff, responsibilities, duties, mature expectations, are all second nature now? How did everything become so serious? When did carefree summer days, of playing in the yard, being fed, sitting on my auntie’s lap … More Childhood
To every soul still searching for their companion, a sincere dedication: to your strength, your patience, your faith. Maybe you’ve been on this quest longer than you think you can bear; Or maybe you’re just starting out – early days, in an early daze, hoping your Prince or Princess will appear very soon. Wherever you … More Dedication
Rise, Rise. The dawning of a new day. Suburbs lay quiet, resting under the blanket of morning clouds, only the tree tops and buildings remain visible. Morning flights, begin slowly. Birds alone, birds in flocks. People in flocks, gathered in the single, man-made vehicle of flight. Doves coo, while the geese, University residents they are, … More Rise
This one’s for all of us who are waiting. I hope you take something good from it. “Reliance” They tell you to be patient. They say your time will come: what is meant to be will be; And all that lies between now and then is a trial of Faith, a lesson in patience, a … More For the single people out there
Breakfast in the ‘Bosch, out on my makeshift porch – electric failure, none but a small bother to me. Yesterday’s breakdown, now part of History. But its all over, and why cling? A new day brings a fresh start: a chance to think through a positive window. There are pictures I want to blow … More “Floating”
…and back in this meeting room. Same subject, different people (partly). People spend many years at this place: years, decades. some even a quarter of a century (and more). There’s stability in the workings here: exam times, orientation, start of the year, summer school(s) – each year, the process – the events … More “One year on”
Keep the world away. Don’t turn on the radio. Keep yourself away from the ideologically-tainted programming that entrenches itself in your home via the TV. Reject their news media. Their sensationalism. Their obsession. Their unhealthy fascination. Be free of their poison. They feed it to you: slowly, constantly, unrelentingly; Headlines; top stories this hour; chart … More World-view
