When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight..for me but not for so many

i want to apologize to my blog viewers all over the world..lol… for not being able to write these past two days. Truth is, i have been begging folks for cheese like crazy…i have been running the streets..you know what i mean.

Its been a very sad tuesday and wednesday. As per keeping my promise,I made sure to talk to a couple of homeless guys that came by our shanti. Love defientely conquers all.

like the subject of this blog says, it ends tonight but my heart goes out to so many who have no hope for an ending of thier plight in sight.

i have seen so much love and generosity from the hearts of so many people in our university and community and i only wish that they will see the truely homeless as they see us  and shower them with the same kindness.

Tuesday night was a bit interesting. i got so cold at night because i couldnt find my blanket. i had just a blanket to cover myself with. i decided to hop to the university 24 hours study center to warm up. In not less than 20 minutes a security guard came in and kicked me out. he didnt know i was part of the 5 days group.he actually thought i was a real bum. for some reason or the other, i didnt tell him. i wanted experience the pain that homeless people who are kicked out of warm spots feel. honestly, i went back outside to face the cold and indeed, i wept on the inside.

Ritchie and i…….(just lost my train of thought)…

i hear it will snow tonight…..i hear a homeless guy might die tonight…..i know you have the power to change anything. oh “humanity, awaken from thy slumber”

I am starting to detest the body odour that is been created by a lack of, what dou you call it?, hygiene.  i woke up quite angry today. i am ot sure where the anger came from but it disturbed me. i am very tired of begging. it hurts when people actually say no to donate to a cause that in someway affects each of us. A real homeless guy came by today and to be totally honest, i felt fear arise in me. it made me question why i was involving myself in this cause. how can i despise the one i wish to help to get better? maybe despise isnt the right word but the fact remains that i didnt talk with him. i will introspect tonight and try to understand the reason for my behaviour. I wonder the kind of heart Mother Theresa had. She must have been in a constant state of love to do the things that she did..

i feel a sense of disenchantment about my encounter with the homeless chap but i will fight on to begin a change in myself. i will remove fear and replace it with genuine love.

This is my humble submission

for some odd reason or the other, it feel like i am camping..i think it’s the fact that i’ve got friends with me. on the other hand, i do wonder what it would be like to find myself suddenly without any support. The level of boredom can kill a person. There is an addage that goes,” an idle mind is the devils workshop”. i am finding this to be very true because i was thinking about certain things that i normally. i would say i was sorta looking for an excuse to do bad things just to excite my life.

i am pretty hungry. i already kinda stink but i will push on till the last day….
