In Between
We have to figure out how we are going to spend our in between time, the time between birth and death. Would we choose to gamble it on hate and greed, or on infecting ourselves and others with love? © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Losing
We lose all the time. We grow old, although that is a positive. Friends come and go. There are births and there are deaths. Seasons comes and goes. We have to celebrate all the seasons in our lives. Every situation is a teaching moment and we are all here to learn. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022
Mysteries
We can’t fathom the mystery of life and death but we obsess over and obliterate people who we think are inferior to us, including animals and plants which are important to the eco system. We have to transition from the idea of predator and prey to one of collective management of the resources in this […]
Broken
Are we willing to own our brokenness? If we are unwilling to look at who we are, why we are the way we are, then we have lost our way and we can’t be transformed. It takes people of courage to do what is right and just. Everyone else though alive are dead. © Norma […]
What do we need to Exist
What is it we need to exist on this earth? Money, possessions and power are illusions that does not enhance our spiritual growth. We call ourselves wise, powerful and unstoppable and yet we can’t save ourselves from death although we are in the business of destroying the planet and it’s inhabitants. We have to ask […]

Sober Up
Why do we drink from the well of pomposity, greed, arrogance, ignorance, vice, savagery, and imbecility? When are we going to sober ourselves up and remember that we too will die? Death isn’t singular, it’s communal. No one is spared. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022
Collectors
Some of us have collections of the things we love and want to admire in our homes, whether it be stones, ornaments, or dolls, etc. We have to be weary about collecting confidants and friends because relationships are not about quantity, it is about quality. We lose people all the time whether by death or […]
Self Confrontation
Every moment offers us an opportunity to reassess how we are living our lives. It is not about becoming the next Politician or Billionaire, it is about aligning ourselves with our purpose. Are we contributing to making the world more free and fair? Are we sympathetic to the plight of people who don’t look like […]
Seasons
We all have our own seasons. Regardless of how much we plan there are going to be seasons of birth, death, joy and sadness. Letting go of our expectations and knowing that everything is only for a season would sustain us in our hour of need. We have to give thanks for every season in […]
