VISUAL IMPERFECTIONS



In the process of conception of dreams, the point of fertilization is most vital; the rooting together of the basic elements that add flavor to our life aspirations. However, birth in itself isn’t defined solely by fertilization. A host of other factors contribute to the making of our dreams and realization of our visions- and as the process becomes more and more elongated, focus diminishes in a progressive fashion, almost perfectly plotted against time.
Even when all we have is relatively insignificant- especially in our own eyes and when it seems to be totally irrelevant to our obvious needs; let us place our trust in the Lord to lead our steps and to guide our paths.
We could ask, why exactly did the widow (1 Kings4) have a jar of oil? It seemed conspicuously irrelevant to her and not until Elisha pointed her to it did she know the inherent potential of that jar of oil.
In life, it becomes very easy after a while to lose respect for our special capabilities, for our talents, our hopes and dreams. We begin to then tread primrose paths which in themselves lead nowhere. After a while, we are all but lost in the fog of time and the only thing that can bring us out of that misty gathering is a re-awakening…a re-pointer to whom we are and what we have.
Some of us might be short-sighted, some long-sighted, some astigmatic; but at those moments when it seems really really easy to throw away the dreams of yesterday in the thrash can of today; let us remember: Yesterday’s pot of oil might have been sent to deliver us from the debts of today.
Respect your dreams; they define you!

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

#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...

DOKITA

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ . Linda pointed to the area around her umbilicus. ‘Have you had any episode of vomiting?’ ‘No sir’ Felix answered spontaneously. ‘You must be her boyfriend, right?’ Dr.Brown asked, with a mischievious grin ...
