Oswin Chin Behilia - Zikinza
One of our greatest troubadours urging the People to wake up and mature.
He sounds like a parent admonishing his child : "Just go on drinking and
wasting your time at parties. Just go on and see where you will end."

Emotional independence.
Out of the margins , into the light...
Free of limiting thoughts and toxic relationships...
This state of independence SHALL BE ♥

This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
