PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

  THE WALKING DEAD! We know them since childhood and even attended the same schools and same Colleges and Universities. We worked for the same companies and even shared the same passion in the same fields of our Professions. We were there when they got married and even became life partners with some. We were there when their first child was born and even became Godparents to some. We celebrated with them when they bought their first car and even warmed their first house. Everything in anything was normal within our cluster of close friends: we talked, laughed and cried together and protected each other with our own lives. Life to us was more than just Life: we became the reason for Life; this World was turning because we were there and made it happen! Us and Them as in People, was clearly defined and we knew our Class and Societal Borders well. We walked on top of the World because we were Top People in Top Class. Success in everything became our Daily Bread! We partied, ...

  MEMORIES LAST FOREVER!   A boy’s Life is usually lived in isolation even though he may be surrounded by hundred other boys almost all of the time. Boys like to play, laugh together and talk all about Life we haven’t seen unfolding yet. We dreamt together and saw the World waiting like a Quiet Forest to be conquered. Playing football and different games, felt like forever. Our days were longer than days in Adult World! I remember so vividly, how I used to stand on top of the mountain as a young boy and look down upon my Beautiful Village in Ladysmith. It sure felt so good.     Watching people and animals walking in syncopation with Life, what a Beautiful and Awesome Sight it was! I was surrounded by Life and feared nothing. I cannot begin to tell you, just how the Heavens used to scare me. Thick black clouds would gather over the Drakensberg Mountains in split seconds. Rain mixed with strong winds would come upon us so fast: as we hurried our livestock bac...

 URBAN JESUS OPEN MIC FOOTNOTE... After chatting with my Uncle Reuben via WhatsApp, I realized there was a need for me to write this Footnote and shed some light to what this message is all about. It's important firstly, to understand the Language and Culture of the People of my Generation because without these fundamentals, I'm doomed even before I open my mouth. Let me put it to you that, Open Mic is not just a Modern Culture; it existed long before in the Bible Days. The only difference between us and them, are the Times and Technological Advancement. Urban r efers to our Modern Times while Jesus becomes the Topic and Open Mic alludes to all the Conflicting Opinions Speakers behind the Mic say about Jesus, The Topic using and interpreting the Bible in contradiction with what Jesus is Really About... Open Mic in Jesus's Day would be interpreted as Public Preaching/Speaking and our Streetwise Lord knew and understood the Times of His Generation. The Religious Leaders us...

  Sunrise To Sunset! The Beginning of All Life is God's Greatest and Grandest Mystery. I can only imagine Life within the Perimeters of my Breath! And believe me, Yes, I don't know what the heck I'm really talking about. Life is what Life is and not what Life has become! We speak only of what we know, otherwise, in reality; one needs to hold one's peace if memory and the tongue cannot pair up! Wow and wow! Human Life tops God's List of All Creation owing to the very Image our crafting is based on. We're not just the living beings but are the very Breath of Almighty God! Yea, I can say it twice: God Breathes through us, and our Heart beats up for Him. In God, we Walk, Breathe and have our Being! Only Sunrise occupied the mind of God when Adam was created! And how's that? Well, you see, when God created Man; He intended for him to live even longer than his fleshy body could carry him through the years! Is it any wonder why the Creator provided the Tree...

WE CAN'T BE ALL WRONG? And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. These sad and heart-breaking words of deep regret were uttered by Almighty God. It always strikes and amazes me at just how God, in more than many times: spoke out His feelings loud and clear for man to hear! Well, for all those of you out there, still trapped inside the Web of Ignorance, I have the Word of the LORD for you to digest! God created man to have the mind, desires and free will of his own: to do whatever he wants! God has always respected all the choices man made even to His own regrets and disappointment. Well, How Can We Be All Wrong when there's so many of us? Power to the People, let's take back our Land, Cities and Villages! Behold and despair; we have in our Movement: Scientists, Doctors, Intellectuals, Politicians, Millionaires and Billionaires. Did I tell you about Religious Leaders fr...

  LET IT   ALL HANG OUT! It is Wisdom sometimes, to simply play stupid and let the other person takes over and own the whole situation. You see, nobody will ever own the Atmosphere because God Above, made it for all to live under. Please, just let the fool own the wind and feel like the imaginary king he’s always been! It's okay, after all said and done; it will always count for Wisdom on your side! Believe me Mate! Hello, nobody in this Whole Wild World, can always put their Best foot forward without fail. How I wish sometimes, I was this Infallible Giant who always scores a Perfect Ten with everybody else and everywhere. To be able to make everyone else yearn to see my face and relish sitting under the Sound of My Voice. Wow, Sydney, do you even think that’s possible in this Life of ours where dog-eat-dog? Hey man, sometimes, it’s not a sin to Dream Out Loud! Your Whole Life Awaits You just around the corner! I’ve got to run, are you coming with me? Let’s Go! We al...
