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 structure of love

Is 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

Lost

Thankfully there is no life 

Without at least some love

So we must

Learn to find the love

That surrounds us

As well as the

Love that lives

Within us

So that we might

Once again

Fly free
