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
What a difference a week makes! Our first art exhibition took place last week. Exhibition 12 Part One. Fondest memories. Wonderful people. Ridiculous vibrations and a great give away. So thankful. So blessed. To the team and our supporters, a big thanks you. Let's do it again. ©zari 2019 #blackpoetboy #creativeplatformseries #refinedoneangie #sunnysunart #exhibition12 #londonartscene #memories (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2o-y03BYER/?igshid=7brzxk4z17ya
I felt confused and out of sorts. I chose to create even this state because something was expressing itself through me. I felt nothing at first. The truth of my matter is that I have chosen to surrender to the flow of Life and this precipitated my going with the flow of embracing the mystery. And so, I went to that space of openness and then the process came in waves. The result of that process is this little wavy creation. I felt much better just letting my genius express ItSelf.

"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.

Colours of Morning Springtime has arrived With that scent of rebirth That causes the air to sing The dancing realm of daffodils When the sun rises With her drama of colour The honest sky just blossoms Like the largest flower That all eyes can see The birds herald its contents The quiet resonance claps The backdrop is a cascade Of awe and wonder This is Mother Nature Reminding earth of her Majesty as springtime Opens the gallery of the breathtaking Nature doesn't wait For an audience to shine Nature simply basks in his own making unapologetically The sky in the morning It's supernaturally natural As the early sky breathes anew each new day The wise recognise the colours of morning Springtime mornings rock...

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
Climate change is a real threat to the viability of life on earth. The naysayers and deniers of this human induced catastrophe are merely those who choose to be ignorant in their arrogance. Water is Life. Life is water. Mother Nature has taken care of us for so long and now it's time to take care of Him. Polluted water cannot sustain Life at all. The lack of water spells doom. The same goes for us when we don't allow the poignant emotions to cause us to cry. Crying is water from within us released to wash away, wash clean and refresh our lives. This is a spiritual answer for the humanitarian questions that assail us as a species. Any more push back could spell our demise. Water is everything to the earthly experience. This stupid and fear informed notion that everything is for sale is causing us to suffer in ways that no other generation has experienced. We are the answer to the questions we keep posing. Water is a requirement for Life to grow, become and evolve. It's time to wake up to the truth of the matter. © zari olawale 2019 Photo Credit: @ima_marinebiologist, Instagram #actioncuresfear #actsoffaith #iyanlavanzant #waterislife #change #awareness #awakening #answers #ourcommUnity (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvR39eOnSnH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yio65e4kgvtu
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 2 Everything that makes life sweet, beautiful and fulfilling is reduced to a taboo of sorts. The idea of speaking one's truth is lauded but dare to do so and you get censured. The movement for openness and transparency is marching forward, however, the juggernaut of repression is speeding faster than light. Confusion is running the madhouse as those who choose not to remain silent take responsibility to be real and frank. Too much fragility is a deep sign and sigh of fear at work in the collective mind. It seems like everyone is on a tightrope knowing that they will fall because they are heavily invested in the opinions of a frightened society. Personally, I am convinced that courage is that attitude that breaks barriers and brings freedom forth. I pride the truth of openness above all. When a society is open and willing change is then the only byproduct. Imagine if everyone were conscious of their place in life and lived according to this truth, would our world be a battlefield on a knife edge? Alas, we are creating a world saturated with fakery, dog whistling, vested interests, biased commentary, twisted logic, disempowering narratives, racial and sexual discrimination, and the crushing of individual expression and spirit. We must remember that we are sexual, social, sensual and spiritual beings. We thrive in freedom and suffer in restraint. We do not behave well in hate. This then means that we are at choice to change and become better than what we have experienced thus far. The next generation is challenging all that the last has held to be accurate. Isn't it time that openness is really prized in the real world! Balance is the best place to live. The question is; when will we course correct and re-evaluate ourselves? Are not all asking this of ourselves; can I be me? What is stopping you and me? Courage is the reality that when we go within then we discover that the answers have always been inside us all along. © zari olawale 2019 Photo Credit: Pinterest #blackpoetboy #blackpoetboywrites #zee3peo #fragility #speaktruth #openness #art #change #evolving #society (at Planet Earth!) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLnE4NHhoX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aoh8miov7zv3
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
