Sunset, YES!

Sunset view from the Livingstone Park in Zambia
One of my favourite moments in life is seeing the sun set in its rightful place.
Oh, the joy that brews in my heart is incomprehensible 
I get teary anytime I miss that moment 
It is so precious


Words are insufficient when talking about the setting of the Sun
I feel the goosebumps especially when I believe I am on that seashore
The sight of the big reddish-orange ball hanging in the sky as it flashes its sparkling rays over the wavy sea is just soothing
But in my village, I smell the hope that comes with the dusk
And that’s the beauty of twilight 


I believe it is evidence of the Lord’s goodness
The calmness it brings is therapeutic 
It gives me a sense of assurance that tomorrow is a treasure vault 
A wise man always whispers to me, aspire for greatness
In recurrence, you will rise and set


You're the son of the Sun
Captured through a bus window while I was crossing from Zambia to Zimbabwe.

  2. The sunset has a very beautiful yet sorrowful literature representation in my culture. "Splendid is the setting sun, yet the dusk is near," my ancestors wrote.

    When the sun sets, that is the moment when it manifests its utmost beauty. Too precious to vanish, too precious to last. Splendid is the sun, yet it is ready to fade. Like a tangent graph, an unavoidable void called night is doomed to split the radiance of the sun. If one closes their eyes in the twilight, they would discover nothing but mere darkness surrounding them when they open their eyes again.

    My ancestors lamented over the set of the sun, and so do I fear the dawn never comes. But I hold on to one belief. When I open my eyes again, you will be there in the light.

PEN

This isn’t an acronym. It is a powerful tool. It is blunt but has altered the patterns of history with unequivocal writing success. It has survived all the defining moments through the centuries Ranging from the early reed, quills, and dip pens to the contemporary ballpoint, fountain, and felt pens. History has it that, all users demand a special pen based on the pending purpose of use There is this status symbol attached to any kind of pen that has ever been manufactured. M. Klein and H. W. Wynne had received a US patent for the fountain in 1867. But as early as the 10 th century, the pen had existed.  And until this day, it has metamorphosed through many phases and designs. One of my favourites and most used pen from the 20 th to this century has been Michaels Bich’s Bic pen that was invented in the 1950s. It is simply elegant and mighty. The sword could see itself sharp but the pen is supreme. Talk of brainstorming sessions that led to generati...
