May be I thought I was revolving around my own
headspace, with the idea that I am an egocentric
Universe. But, in fact, I am aware that this is a
multifocal, multi-axial rotation of the circumference of me!
And there is more to the extravasation from the numerous
centres of light, than the mere shedding of light, but an abstract
significant nurture! I know how I miss even your helpless
wheel-chaired vulnerability of old age and frail disrepair, Mother,
even though, I am saddened by it. And I have known you, all along,
as a mountain of duty to love! Metaphors are descriptive even
retrospective; but even all the sincere, honest, eager candour
of words can fail the test of living up to the immensity of the emotion we share.
Mother, you know, we are each of us Ethiopic Neguses in our own ways…
the anti-astringetised gentle undulating dewing of culture and the forces
of civilisation. Because we are all immense teachers, ourselves, as we endeavour
to learn. Mother, you adorn an exalted chair in my mind and soul, that may keep you there
no matter your passing into an ethereal abode! I still live with the everlasting dignity of your
presence! I also feel profoundly the emissary of magnitudinal divinity that is my Dad! I am
humbled in the imagery of loyalties, like great icons enshrined in the Akashic Halls! For all my
endowments, I am trifled and humbled by the magnanimity of love symbolised in
living and passed away benevolent entities! Like my frontiers and regions of love – familial,
ancestral, pets, and patrons, also a great mighty leader from the West (my Captain King)
whose photoframe adorns a special place on the walls of the lounge of my soul! And I am,
at once, kindly feeling the hallmarks of a fecund generosity. If I could only exchange love for
love, without being daunted by the travesties of an imposing treachery sabotaging the civilisation that is
desired for by the righteous! But I think I can let go of hating (though it was never hate but
an inclination to persevere for truth and justice, on my part!), and believe in the
diadochokinesis of honest endearment and the reincarnate photokinesis from, and of, love!
