Distortion

We notice that things are not what they seem but we practice avoidance, we would rather shake in our boots while shrivelling like a prune. Fear of castigation is what holds us back. Being alone frightens us, it casts a shadow that is reminiscent of death. Inaction is what keeps us chained to misery. © […]

No Secret

Why do we grieve for sickness and death? It is no secret that we owe a debt to death. Our time between birth and death is a space for exploration and transformation. We have to dwell on finding what our purpose is and work on accomplishing it. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Lack

We can be filthy rich but still unhappy, hoarding and sequestering money, gold, homes, land and willing courtiers. If we are in touch with our consciousness we would know that our stay here on earth is temporal, we will eventually die. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Fear

Fear is a weapon used to dislocate, disempower and emasculate. Everyone succumbs to death, no one is spared. We know not when the bell will be tolling for us. In the meantime choose to be a good steward. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Endings

Everything comes to an end, endings are new beginnings. There is no fear when we realize that death and life are companions. If a seed doesn’t die growth ends. Fear not, for all things happens according to its seasons. We all, though we are alive, will only be remembered for how we impacted the world […]

Be accountable

We have to hold ourselves accountable for the decisions we make. The question to ask is: How does my decision impact those whose lives it touches? If we are out of touch with reality we need to check ourselves and employ redemptive measures. This life in the flesh is a short journey. We aren’t here […]

Living

Are we fully living our lives if we constantly cower when we are called upon to use our conscience? Death sometimes is made manifest in us before our physical demise. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2024

Death

Death is part of life. It should constantly remind us that we aren’t overlords. Let’s live our life without wanting to control how other people live theirs. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
