Performance

Life is not a performative state of being, it is a life time of remembering, and honouring who we are. We are repeatedly cast on the operation table because we are indoctrinated into believing we are the patient instead of the healer. Self love and compassion for ourselves and all living beings in the Universe […]

Owning our Toxicity

Accountability is amoral to sociopaths. They have no moral compass, and ascribes to deflection and negation. They are duplicitous in all their ways and the only thing that can bring them to their knees is humiliation. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Satiated

Can we reach a state of satiation? The acquisition of things is temporal. We are layaway entities, eventually everything we own is inherited by someone else. Money is a vehicle that can be used for good or evil. Nature offers a picturesque rendition of a satiating lifestyle. We can create that same atmosphere in our […]

Devious

Some of us who call ourselves humans behave as though we can control the lives of others. We deploy tactics of division and derision. We forget that seasons are at play in our lives and the lives of every living entity. Nothing lasts forever, change happens whether we invite it or not. There is no […]

Personal Belongings

What personal belongings do you hold most dear? What is dear to me is my sanity. As for belongings everything we own is temporal, they are assigned to others after our demise. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

The enigma of youth

We were all there, the phase of baby, toddler, teenagers, adolescents and finally adults. What is our obsession with maintaining a youthful appearance? People age differently depending on their lifestyle choices. Instead of honouring each phase of our life we misuse it and when we have ripened into old age we go on a quest […]

Obsession

Obsession equals stress. When we are preoccupied with putting our thumbs on other people’s pulses the only one who is left with an acute headache is the one trying to keep scores. Life is too short for us to be following lockstep after our perceived competitors. We are all here on a mission to fulfill […]

Stratification

We are comfortable with living in a stratified society. Our reliance on the crumbs keeps us in docility. Life is symbolic of an earthquake, in the midst of serenity chaos ensues. Living a life of paucity isn’t a given, it is a form of containment. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

A Clean Slate

Our life began as a clean slate. When we write our desires on that slate, through our thoughts and actions, we create the perfect permaculture that facilitates our growth. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Character

We tell on our selves through our own character denigration. Words have no value if our actions betrays it. Alienating ourselves from our connectedness to the Universe is petrifying and ignoble, not only to ourselves but to our enablers as well. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
