Returning to a time and place that reminds me of another me is a revelation of what is true and lasting or that parts of me that no longer serve me have fallen off like old leaves. It's a practice of remembering who I am becoming. Growth means accepting mySelf while letting go of what doesn't matter anymore.

What I think about is what I am creating! What I am experiencing is what I have created; and all this has come about by the thoughts that I think. I have imagined things that have knocked me out of play only to realise that they were of my own doing. There's no one to really blame but myself. This book is challenging me to give my undivided attention to my thought life because I am a thinking centre. It's from this thinking centre that I form and impress the Universe with what I am imagining. Nothing happens without the power of thought. It's a rigorous training to undertake; if more of life is sought after. I am choosing to think in a Certain Way, so that my story changes according to the laws of increase and advancement. The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles is a great guide toward realising one's wealthy Self. © zari olawale 2019 #blackpoetboy #thinking #AWordWithMyself #thescienceofgettingrich☀️ #remembering #truewealth #thinkforachange #capstonepublishing (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/B499r17pBOo/?igshid=1o5zrpn9053od

Men in Love It's not all about what the eyes look at It's not what we have been told That men are hard and flat Or that they are rigid and cold When love stories are narrated The prince is typecast And the princess suffers the frustrated Because lies hang to the past Men are loyal too Some are deeply lost in the loving Wild stories tell of history broken by two And the wisdom of males solving They say a women loves hard Whilst a man cannot love but many They say that a woman carries a card And that she must be won Who created this game? Who constituted the cage? Who built the bag of blame? Who prowls in a fitful rage? Some men know their heart They revel in the romance They smile in joy from the start Many will admit that they value their most their bromance They play like boys They take risks in love They know something deeper than toys They embrace each other without a glove Cultures have misconstrued men Religion has overdefined men Social mores have maligned men And sexual miseducation has toxified men All men are lovers at play Ask them and you will get a million yeses They love in a billion ways every day Truth knows that there are no guesses A new man is emerging He is not afraid to touch He is happy to laugh deeply with surging A new man in whom many can vouch Especially black men Who deconstruct the myth Brothers with cosmic acumen They come in varying tastes without a plinth Pure sexual energy Understanding and patient Definition inside synergy Speaking in tones so latent Whether he loves a man Or cares for a woman Or both He is true to his divine plan He knows his place in his clan The picture is not the same The old cannot compare Men in love will not fall for shame Because they stand and prepare Men in love will not fight They know something deeper These men will not take flight Until they choose to be their own keeper ©zari olawale 2019 Photo Credit: Pinterest #blackpoetboy #meninlove #newman #deeper #change #upwardmanhood #blackkings #mypoetry #consciousman #malesrock (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvTuTy-AzQz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8x4b7n129vnj

"Source loves me. Source constantly guides me. Source cares about me. Source provides for me. Source is one with me. Source is me. I Am ready to manifest my greatness now."-zari Oneness is always the truth of us. Any other idea or concept is contrary and absolute hubris. Aquifers are deeper than the surface and they never fail to produce when tapped into. We carry aquifers within us that incessantly irrigates our soul gardens with a life affirming source of being and power. It is always there. © zari olawale 2019 #zee3peo #blackpoetboy #actsoffaith #iyanlavanzant #spiritoflife #highestSelf #goingdeep #Sourceof all (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcJyJzH5VH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jk6lmwhjr8g4

Stress in the number one killer in the West. It's a silent killer because of its stealth like ability to coil up inside its victim like a serpent and then inflicts its deadly bite with surgical precision. This happens in ways that the host is unaware of. Stress of the the deadly kind prowls in modern life in a manner that even the most astute miss. It usually starts with a mismanaged thought pattern, then progresses into actions that evidently carry the venom to the body. The best way to create a life worth living is to take care of the inside job. Clear the debris. Sift through the rubble and take healthy options to build a strong Self. The gift of choice is a massive tool that we all have. Our acknowledgement of this gift is the beginning of a really rich way of living. Thoughts are like seeds. Be careful what seeds they are. Choose what serves you. The difference between first thought which is cosmic and a thought that doesn't make for constructive living is key. Know yourself. Be yourself. Listen to your bliss and let your joy carry you. The world is not the arbiter of truth, your soul is.

A prescription worthy of note. Too many people are so stressed out, distracted and sucked into unfulfilling living that they miss the beauty of natural and created art in the many forms it presents itself. Art is what Life is all about. The smile of a baby. The touch of a loved one. The breath of life that cross pollinates in close spaces. The solitary flower sprouting from a crack in asphalt. The wave of the wind on a summers day. The rising and setting sun. The undulating oceans. The flora and fauna in close proximity. The aroma of baked cake. The look of a friendly soul in a crowd. The air of joy in the morning. And the painting that calls your name or the installation in the city centre that speaks. Art is all around us. Even we, as a species, we are practical art on the move. Being aware makes a huge difference to the experience we create when we bring attention to the art among us. The universal art gallery we live in is free to enter, free to contact, free to interact and always changing our lives in ways that we cannot explain. This is the power of pure and cosmic art. Art appreciation belongs to all of us and not just to a privileged few. Be intentional. Be aware. Be art hunting. It's really life affirming. © zari olawale 2019 #bpbabstrArt #blackpoetboy #zee3peo #artislife #attention #appreciation #abstract #colourdance (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvRRca1BDto/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uo44mqx22q2w

Fragility Part 1 Art has way of using a visual language to convey a plethora of subjects.The power of the creative process is everything. We live in a time of relative fragility in daily life and this is causing many to foam at the mouth, whilst some choose to be easily offended and others simply let the hate fall like acid rain. As a creative observer and producer, I feel the responsibility to share what I see and feel in bringing our collective consciousness to bear. We are all experiencing symptoms of fragility as we circumnavigate the choppy seas of social media, moral compass, choices and the popular gaze. We are twitching with nervousness because no one wants to rock the boat so to speak. But to rock the boat is what Life is all about anyway. Isn't it? In the political arena, tweets are causing a shit storm because sides are drawn and wisdom is shunted aside in favour of vitriolic sound bytes. In the case of religious beliefs and cultural biases, war is waged with and arsenal of arms amassed without any concrete proof albeit that everyone is easily offended. The talk of love is heard but only hate seems to speak...very loudly. Prudish attitudes are rife because the political, the religious and the cultural frown on the most natural things about being human. We don't touch anymore for fear of reprisals. Sexual energy is suppressed and relationships are shipwrecking. Laws are crafted to squelch all fun and then we wonder why we slink about in the dark trying to satisfy our natural curiosity about our sexual and sensual identity. © zari olawale 2019 Photo Credit: Pinterest #blackpoetboy #blackpoetboywrites #zee3peo #fragility #speaktruth #openness #art #change #evolving #society (at Planet Earth!) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLmo6nnpMC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=am1c59td0e5y
