Rising From the Ashes of Hopelessness – Part 2

Rising From the Ashes of Hopelessness – Part 1
May 21, 2019 The rooster crows, and that was when I realized that i was awake all night; and at that moment, the bedside clock was reading 4:07 am. It was a night of restlessness, and only God knows for how long I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling of my room. I have…

April 28, 2014 Hope was what I was searching for in the city, and the journey took me all the way to the village as if it could be found in the farms. I know it may not be found there, but the atmosphere in the village offers some kind of relief. It reduced the…

Let Your Conscience Be Your Judge – Part 1
December 18, 2013 It’s indeed like one of those nights that I lay in bed for hours waiting for the slightest sign of sleep but to no avail. Usually, I experienced those sleepless nights when something is troubling my mind, otherwise by 9:00 pm, I call it off for the day. And like those days,…
