By Aghogho Ayanruoh This goes out to all of the people who have been broken, but have been strong enough to let go. For the people who have hurt so badly that they felt that they could never love again, but kept their head up. For the people who learn from their mistakes and never stop moving forward, even when […]

By Aghogho Ayanruoh I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its […]

By Victor Emmanuel Uwah At birth I was the joy and pride Of those who for a child had cried – They saw in me a little dear, And soon the news spread far and near. I lay enfolded on the bed While mother still had tears to shed – Tears of pain, but more […]

Rolling stones gather not any moss, But keep themselves clean and free from dross Which would otherwise have gathered round To hold them fast and stuck to the ground. In standing still stones may decompose Since they thus a Law of Life oppose Which demands that things must always move For stagnation always fatal prove. […]

Hush thou and keep still, oh my soul, And let that Power take control, Which the Lord pours down every year To wash away your wear and tear. Be filled, my soul, with peace supreme As show’rs of blessing through you stream, Which this day come down from Above As a gift from the Holy […]

A single earth-life is just not all Nor my progress dares it to forestall, But forms part of an unbroken whole That makes the path of my striving soul. If my threads of fate on earth remain, There will be the need to come again: Or where there is none the Lord might say That […]
