Unequal

There was one, then came number two. Number one was relegated to being the despoiled child, while two became the spoiled child. If you were one or the other would life for you devolve into an incongruous state of being. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Time

Time travels like a train, its load of passengers changes at every station, there are people getting on and people getting off. As we journey on that train we call life, we have to be cognizant of the fact that everything passes, and that our journey continues until we exit. What matters is what we […]

Enough

There is always enough in our lives, we just have to tap into it. Just like the world that was created by nature, all things were created to satisfy our every need, fruit trees and vegetation, water cascading off mountains, flowing from streams, rivers, and seas, absorbed into the sky for purification and falling on […]

Interconnected

All life, regardless of the form it takes is aligned to all other forces on this planet. Every life form is part of the universal recycling of energy. Our cycles follows the moon, as does the streams and rivers. The moon is elemental to all life whether we are conscious of it or not. The […]

Living

What price do we put on life? Do we understand our motivations? Is valour our obsession? There is no permanence in our lives, we will all transition. Fear does not draw people to us, it drives them away from us. How we live in the space between conception and death is how we will be […]

Characters

Some of us aren’t who we profess to be. We wear camouflage as a form of pretence. Our word has no value. Some of us are sadists, deviants, thieves, monsters, and murderers. Accountability is what is lacking in our lives. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Imitation

We have to stop walking the path of imitation and accept the fact that we are perfectly crafted. There is no need for enhancements, we are perfect the way we are. We will continue to be the living dead until we take the blinders off and reimagine a life that is full of acceptance and […]

A Stage

Life is a stage, we are all actors in the theatre we call life. We have to craft the life we want to experience. Leave nothing to happenstance, everything has to be sequential to the our plan. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Resignation

Do we resign ourselves to the role or slot that is designated for us? We all have a choice to make between living a pecuniary life, or a life that affords us dignity, fair wages, a place to call home, provide food for our family, health care and the necessities of life. There is no […]
