PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

  Going Hip! Sometimes it is good for a man to just ignore all life and the buzz going around his sphere. After all, this man has nothing to lose if he’d just let it all hang out. Who cares about what people think if nobody gives a hood if you are dead or alive? One day in my lifetime, I just want to go haywire and let loose and wear my heart on my sleeves…. It will be nice and oh, so fulfilling to see those open mouths gasping for air! In a mall fully packed with shoppers going around in all directions… with some even recognizing this crazy guy as Me, Myself and I. Others will be like... what is wrong with him, has he gone crosswire? Now, here is the thing. Why blame honest onlookers when they see this guy gong all the way down to the music only going hip in his own head. Oh, what a feeling it is, to hear all this music inside my own head while others can just imagine the beats these feet, hands, and hips are swaying! Going hip without feeling all that hippy… is ...

  Through The Eye Of A Needle Trust not in oppression and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. These profound words were pronounced by King David himself, in one of his many Psalms. It is not even worth repeating and needless to refute the lies of misquoting the Scriptures when it comes to material possessions and becoming rich. Money is the root of all evil… all the least informed and uneducated individuals, like to puff out this vain dust. The love of money is the root of all evil. Do not set your heart upon riches when you get even richer… this is the Gospel you will find in every page of the Bible. Believe me when I say to you…there’s nowhere in the Scriptures where God says… thou shalt not prosper! Interpreting the spiritual with the spiritual… verse to verse and within the context of the message… the safest way to understanding God! Through the eye of a needle… is the most quoted proverb in the world today because of the ...

  Counting My Tears! Ever since day one, after breaching the safety net of innocence… I had more in this world than my eyes and mind could frame. To simplify and break it all up into small comprehensive atomic sizes for my mind to digest. Is it not the reason God expects every single parent to stand twenty-four seven guard over the lives of their innocent children? Prevent, protect, or even kill the intruders when it becomes necessary as the last throw of parental defense. What happened to all the one hundred thousand things which used to fascinate me as a baby? Come on, someone help this poor boy … what made me laughed out aloud at the ceilings when I was all alone? What made this baby clap his hands even before knowing the meaning of joy? Just when did I break out from this cloud of pure innocence which shielded my heart and soul from feeling the corrosion of sinfulness? Who and what am I? After all these years of decadence and degeneration! Would the baby ins...

    These Old Talking Shoes! Who said humans or animals are the only rich environment for comfort? There are more ways to kill the cat… too many ways to survive. One can find solace and comfort for peace in different forms of nature God surrounds us with. Nature, unlike people… is the most reliable form of detoxing. Birds chirping and singing early in the morning is the most priceless way to interact with nature. I once heard and listened to one bird in my garden one morning… singing and changing tunes like fifteen times. What an impressive day this was for me! I have incalculable reasons in my life to be grateful than regrets… never wear a sulky face every day as if the world owes me something. I believe my life alone… costs God to slaughter a thousand cows, five hundred pigs and ten thousand trees to colour all these fabrics extracted from these kills. The Proverbial Children of Israel would share my sentiments and testify with me. Just how God for forty year...
