Contemplation on Ofun Meji ( orangun meji )

If I told you today
What will happen tomorrow
You’d think me mad
If what I told you was
Tomorrow doesn’t exist
You’d think me insane
And yet
For all our desire to
Know
Tomorrow is only an illusion
Created to help us feel control
Over something that is completely
Unpredictable
God
Is
Our
Tomorrow
Embracing us
Today

Contemplation on the Odu Oshe Ofun (ose fun)

The structural Dynamics of love
Are such that
In its presence
We can endure the weight of the world
Filled with the warmth of a thousand suns
We are
Weightless
Yet in its absence
Even a feather can seem too much to bear
Chilled through to our very core
We are
Sunken
Thankfully there is no life 
Without at least some love
If nothing else
We can learn to find the love
That surrounds us
And most importantly

Within us
