BETWEEN AMNESTY AND AMNESIA: A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE

As earlier discussed in this blog’s last post, amnesty and amnesia, though similar, cannot be synonymized.

God forgives and blots out iniquity of men; thus granting a form of ‘political pardon’. However, the sin of a man finds him out, the consequences of his folly do not evade him, as laws are set in motion by one’s actions.

This typically shows, that no matter how much amnesty we receive, there really is no amnesia, as the laws set in motion most times, do not respect amnesty. Simple truth.

There is however something interesting about these phenomena; and that is the fact that every noticeable fault is a privileged opportunity to learn and grow. If you survive a situation, get political pardon (even when there’s no amnesia), you get stronger…like a common saying: Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Thus, even if you don’t receive the much sought after amnesia, you get something more valuable. You get freedom. You get to train people. You get strength. Sometimes, you need the experience.

Freeze time…right then, this lack of amnesia means the world to you!

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
