“As a little girl growing up, I always felt I was something more than a physical being imprisoned within flesh and bone. There was a ‘me’ more pronounced outside the corporeal image; a ‘me’ that possessed all the enchantment of the spirit. I spent a lot of time gazing lustfully at all the open spaces, admiring all things holy; I listened to the whispering silence for the peace of God. The world of form never really made sense; there were questions more than answers. I was lost in the divine game. The world around me seemed to be talking or at least trying to convey a message; however, I wasn’t ready to comprehend it. The guises of the world of form clouded the truth in the meaning. I was listening and hearing but could not deduce the language locked in symbols. I could feel a pull of vibration begging for my absolute attention. The elders noticed my eyes appeared forever absent-minded. [9 – 10]”

“I’ve experienced the cycle of birth and death many more times that I care to count. I’ve donned and shredded many skin colours in my lifetime. I’ve lived the lives of many; the lives of the poor and the healers of Bantu and served the divine purpose in countless ways. [3]”

It continues to exist outside the physical actuality and even outside the apparent life; experience has served this divine truth many times and I accept. When one experiences the ‘perceived death’, only to be followed by the reality of another existence, a weird sense if divine comedy sets in; realizing that the end was only the beginning. [8]”

Ours is to release the wise sage in all the walking dead. [18]”
