A new contemplation on the Odu Ofun Meji

We are all
Manifestations of our shifting perspective
Gathering data along the way
Changing priorities like
Clothes with the turning leaves
Nomadic shape shifters
Moving through time
To parts known and unknown
I will never be who I was
I can not know who I will become
Until one day
All that is left
Is a memory
In the minds of
Others
Flickering
As it too
Fades into
Eternity

Further contemplation on the odu Iwori Ogunda

I looked for god in books
But did not find it
I looked for god in people
But it was not there
I looked for god in stones
But they lay motionless
I looked for god in ceremonies 
But I could not see it
God eluded me
At every turn lay another
Dead end
Another unfulfilled 
Promise
Empty and without 
Answers
I sat alone
To watch the setting sun
Waiting for the darkness
To envelope me
As I looked into the universe 
Darkness gave way to a
Sea of sparkling lights
Dancing across the sky
It was only then
Confronted with the 
Insignificance of my existence 
That I was able to
Find God
It did not give me meaning
Or show my superiority 
Those are a fool’s vanity
I was left with a feeling of wonder 

Bathing in the sheer
Elegance
Of the infinite 
This is the
Divine
God is not a being
But the fact that we exist at all
In a universe of infinite possibility
I am in awe 
That I am
Here
That you are too
Is truly
Beautiful 

Inspired by Max Richter's "on the nature of daylight" https://youtu.be/b_YHE4Sx-08?si=1oWvqcDLFUvhYtG_ I recommend listening to the whole song. 

Contemplation on the Odu Iwori Obara

I can not
See you anymore
But I can
Still draw your heart
From memory
Lines on a page
Form shapes that
Remind me of you
Thoughts float
Off sheets of paper
Sticking to the inside of
My eyes
So that every time I
Close them
The essence of you
Becomes the

Backdrop of my

Existence
