Be Still
I practice stillness today. All that I am resides in the stillness of my mind. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Corral
Are we independent thinkers or can we be corralled into thinking and acting in accordance with the dictates of society. The question we need to ask ourselves anytime a proposition is put to us is: “Does my co-opting serve my best interest”? And the question you need to ask of those who are […]
Limit
We are conditioned into non excellence by a society that frowns on the excellence of the other (the fringe). No one is born into classism but we perform under par because we so badly want to be liked and not to be cast as a trouble maker. We are all endowed with gifts that […]
Gracious
Kindness, patience, love, hope, gratitude and fortitude are virtues worth putting into practice. We rise every morning to a new day, a new beginning. Let’s travel lightly and leave behind, self hatred, greed, hopelessness and jealousy. Rebirth is an everyday experience and for that I am grateful. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Sharing
Life is more than festivities and having an abundance of friends. Ours is a mission of self discovery. When we unearth our true mission on this earth and we live and share it with all of life’s inhabitants, we can say that our work is done. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Snapshot of Life
There are things which are constant, like aging, sickness and loss, although not in that exact order. These occurrences are part of our lives. We cannot suffer sorrow when we know and accept that life revolves. Everything that happens to us is not a secret, we see it happening all around us. Let’s celebrate […]
Time
Time is always in motion. It up to each of us to catch its momentum and work towards bringing our desires to life. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Entitlement
All of us at one time or another held the belief that we were entitled to someone else’s love, affection and resources. The only one that owes us an entitlement is the one that stares back at us in the mirror. We are our own benefactor. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
Denial
Living in a world of denial inflicts carnage on our body. We refuse to see that which is before our very eyes. Excuses becomes our daily litany and life for us is akin to being stranded on an island populated with zombies. Let’s lift the veil and live in reality rather than denial. […]
Tears
Tears are the never ending flow of a waterfall. It cleanses and it heals. It takes us on a walk within the garden of reality and reveals to us the sanctity of life. Tears are ever present in our happy moments and in our sadness. It is like calm waters over troubled seas. © Norma […]
