Midnight Motivations and Musings #103

Each awakening moment of our lives offers us two main choices.

A choice on how to treat and relate to others and a choice on how to treat ourselves.

Think about it for a moment and you will realise that everything we do is centred on these two main player’s; ourselves and others.

I’ve found that a bid to make a positive impact on other people’s lives never leaves the giver empty handed. In caring for others, we inadvertently care for ourselves.

The rewards are life changing and sometimes beyond your expectations.

May the lamp that you carry not only cast light on your path. Let its flickers offer some brightness to those you encounter on your way.

Shalom!

Crime, Blood, Offence, Misstep, Face, Eye, Black

Until we let go

of all the hatred

and embrace

the light of love

DARKNESS

will remain a companion.

She is amazing at describing love and life in her poems. She creates such beautiful images with her words. Truly, she is a talented writer and I’m so excited to have her poetry book and to continue reading through it.

When you’ve got somewhere to go, distractions will crop up and pop out from every available woodwork and if you are not mindful and focused, you’ll probably spend far too much invaluable time facing shadows that are not worthwhile.

The truth that you tell yourself in times like this is the truth that you come to believe. If you say ‘oh, I can’t go through this,’ that’s true; if you say, ‘I am going to crack this,’ that’s also your truth.

Whichever way you chose to go, into the light or in the shadows, will determine your reality.

Dark Mystery…

March 18, 2016March 18, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha14 Comments

Nothing creates mystery like the cloak of the dark.

Darkness amplifies suspense and sound.

Even a frog will look princely in the dark. It casts a romantic pall and softens the sharp edges of stark daylight.

For today’s photo 101 theme ‘Mystery and Lighting effect, I couldn’t find the eye of a dog and my neighbours dog wasn’t very forthcoming at looking me in the eyes even after a doggy bribe 😊

Anyway’s I searched in my photos to see if I had mystery lurking around anywhere and I dug up some stuff that I hope are satisfactory.

The dark night and twinkling lights kindles inspiration

I like how it looks like a fortress with behind the shrubbery.

The little doggie was very curious about me as I walked by. He actually yipped at me, then trotted along for a few yards.

I don’t know what it is, but I like the photo.

I captured the picture of the lone worker as the train trundled past some evenings ago. I like taking the trains.

An accidental photo. No idea how it happened, but I like it.

She refused to show her deep brown mysterious eyes 😉

I was walking behind her along the quite corridor and the click-clack of the heels made me take a picture.

Under the glow of the lantern, light up my life…

Today’s theme makes me thank Photo 101 for giving me the purpose to share some of the numerous collections of light pictures that I have taken.

My dear Himself has had to learn lessons in patience when we go out, because I will ooh and aah over this and that, pointing and clicking away with contentment.

Dubai is a trail blazer and a light bulb of a city. They’ve got the lights going in so many ramifications especially at those high end stores, that the twinkle of the lights beckons to us like moths and we are attracted.

It’s as if the luminescent of the bulbs whisper to you to step in and part with some money. The trick is to leave your credit cards at home and take pocket change just in case 😉

Imagine how life must have been in the dark ages before electricity Candles were meant only for the wealthy back then and cost a fortune. For some reason this brings a quote to my mind which says that ‘putting off someone’s candle, will not make yours to shine brighter.’

Even an ogre can look like a prince in the hazy gaze of a dim lantern, but just make sure you get a good look at him in the brightness of broad daylight 😉

Thankfully, the days of our live’s which revolves around light of the day and darkness of the night are made sweeter under the glow of a bright bulb.
