The habit that brings me joy
Describe one habit that brings you joy. Being silent brings me joy in the midst of the chaos that envelops this planet. Practising silence opens the gateway to perpetual peace. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Games
All of us from time to time indulge in playing games. People aren’t pieces on a chess board, we feel, we see, we hear. Brutality and barbarity isn’t a winning strategy. We need to ask ourselves what is the legacy we are fostering, is it one of barbarism or humanitarianism? How we will be remembered […]
Emancipation Day
For people who were trafficked to South America and the West Indies, I hope I haven’t excluded anyone, today marks the day we were emancipated. We need to ask ourselves: How can one declare the right to themselves to keep another being chained in perpetuity because they believe it is right to do so, and […]
Spineless
People support a group or groups of people depending on how it benefits them. It has no bearing on whether it is a good cause or an evil cause. Their sanctimonious behaviour is criminal and undignified. There isn’t a scintilla of shame, only a charade of spinelessness. We are all tethering on the edge of […]
Worth
Our worthiness isn’t determined by how people think and feel about us. It’s based on how we feel about ourselves. Knowing ourselves is the passport to living an exemplary life. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Transparency
If we aren’t transparent we would find ourselves having to cover the stench of our actions. The time for regret is before our transgression. There is no culpability just rancour and bigotry. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Caged
We build cages in all forms because we want obedience and conformity. Fear and violence is how we form alliances and keep mouths and eyes closed. Rinsing and repeating edicts is what this world revolves on. The recipe is the same but a different spin is put on the method. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Fallacy
Ignorance can be cured, but arrogance is an hand basket that people clutch to their person because they believe it elevates their sense of superiority. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
Why?
Why are we so blood thirsty? Why do we hate? Why do we steal? Why do we lie? Why do we exude jealousy? Why do we hoard money and resources when there are so many people in need? Why do we make housing unaffordable? Why do we create food shortages when we know others are […]
Accountability
How messed are we that we feel an entitlement to unaccountability. Why do we espouse Christianity when we show no mercy for the vulnerable? Why do we practice damage control when we can’t control our maniacal proclivities? Why is prayer the answer to every man made casualty when all we do is prey? Are we […]
