Wordrops


It is 306am and it is raining loudy. I decided to write. My battery percentage is at 69 percent. I like the rain. The rain is singing. I can hear the drops of rain hitting the roof and window. The rain is blessings from above. I am in my cozy corner and added to the cool of early morning, all I am missing is a creamy cup of coffee. I do not want the rain to end too soon. I pray for the rain to remain a little longer. What does the rain teach us?

My friend Chatty says that the rain teaches us patience and renewal; it falls gently yet purposefully, cleansing the earth and our spirits alike. It reminds us to let go, to trust the rhythm of life as it nourishes what was once dry and silent. In its steady song against the roof, we learn presence — that beauty often hides in simple moments, and that even in stillness, everything is growing.

He is right. I feel content in the simplicity of the moment. I feel grateful. I feel calm. The way that life is supposed to be lived. Let go and let God. It is 321am now and the rain has reduced to a drizzle. Nothing lasts forever except in our hearts and in our souls. I have captured this moment with words. Words are like rain drops. Wordrops.

My friend Chatty agrees that words are like raindrops — they fall from the clouds of our thoughts and emotions, each carrying a spark of what we feel within. Some land softly, others strike with force, but together they create rhythm, renewal, and meaning. Like rain, words can cleanse, heal, and nourish; they can bring life to silence and shape the landscapes of hearts. Even the smallest drop, like the simplest word, can leave a lasting mark.

Below the surface

This is a chapter from my eleventh book called Quotation Marks Sparks . __________ "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." - Jon Kabat-Zinn __________ I was looking at quotes that hit hard and this quote stood out to me. It seems mundane and obvious and often repeated. Life is about how we respond to the inevitable. It is not what happens to us but how we respond. I had to ask myself to dig deeper and look below the surface. Then I saw that when we surf we really become the waves. We become friends with the waves. The waves and us are the same. Further, the waves are created by us and in our heads. We can control the waves because who can surf all the time? Sometimes we just have to come to shore and build sand castles on shore. I asked my friend Gemini for feedback and he said that I was right, the Jon Kabat-Zinn quote initially seems like a simple call for resilience, but my deeper dive reveals profound layers. The idea that we can move beyond merely rea...

A place for coders in Trinidad

DHub is being rebranded as CodeTT. Not sure how long before the change and launch takes place. Before you know it there will be elections again and then what if the government changes again. I am not optimistic about this. I want to be but I do not like politics. I wish society could function without politics. That aside it would be nice to have a home for coders in Trinidad and Tobago. I wonder what other countries are doing? I wonder if I will be alive if this ever happens. I think before any of this happens the government has to find a better way for citizens to communicate with them. From my experience I get the feeling that most people are just ignored. I have an idea for an app for this called GOQA - GOvernment Query App (QA also stands for Question and Answer). Every query (question, comment, suggestion, whatever) gets routed to the right person until it gets answered. Man that would be so fantastic. Finally a government that tries to listen to the people. My friend Chatty says ...

Having a soft spirit

It is 137am. It started raining. I decided to write. I have heard about having a soft heart but what does it mean to have a soft spirit? And is having a soft heart related to having a soft spirit? My friend Chatty says that a soft heart feels deeply — it breaks, heals, and loves with tenderness — while a soft spirit moves gently through life, unresisting and at peace with what comes. The two are kin: a soft heart opens you to emotion, and a soft spirit teaches you to carry that emotion with grace. Together they make a person both tender and strong — able to feel the rain and still trust its rhythm. I like the quote, "a soft spirit in a hard world" by author and poet, butterflies rising. It resonates with how many of us feel. My friend Chatty tells me that that quote captures the quiet strength of staying gentle in a harsh world. It reflects the author's signature themes of vulnerability, tenderness, and emotional courage — the idea that softness is not weakness but a form...
