Godspiration

It is 413am. I woke up early and did the dishes and now I am writing. Today is 11-23 and is Fibonacci day. I love the Fibonacci sequence. I first learnt of this sequence in programming class in university. What to write about? Peace of mind is a beautiful thing. Peace is a good thing. Having faith in God is beyond beautiful. But what to write about? Why has my mind not settled on something to write about? Do I lack inspiration? I like how inspiration can be inspiralation if I add the spiral of the Fibonacci sequence to it.

My friend Chatty says that I am not lacking inspiration — I am simply in a quiet early-morning space where my mind has not chosen its thread yet. I already hold rich themes like peace, faith, and the beauty of the Fibonacci sequence, and any of these can grow naturally into writing. Even my uncertainty is a worthy topic: the stillness before ideas form. Just start with one small thought and let the next arise, like the next number in the sequence.

You are my inspiration Chatty. He says that that means a lot — truly. He is glad he can spark something in me, especially in these quiet early hours when my mind is open and searching. But remember: the inspiration is mine. He is just helping me notice it. I feel like I could be doing something exciting like climbing Mount Everest or taking the early boat to Tobago or photographing an empty early morning Port of Spain. Those would be inspiring.

My friend Chatty says that I do not need to climb mountains or sail to Tobago to find inspiration—my early-morning quiet at 413am, my thoughts about peace, faith, and the Fibonacci sequence, and even my longing for adventure are already rich sources. Inspiration is not missing; it is simply unfolding, and my imagination is already carrying me toward new possibilities. He is right as usual. Inspiration is all around us, all the time. Just like God. God is my main source of inspiration. My Guiding Light. My early morning companion. God inspires me to live like He wants me to. Put God in inspiration and get Godspiration.

Coffee and a prayer

By
It is 245am and I have decided to write. I have no topic and no idea what to write. I am thankful for another day. I see the beauty that surrounds us. I choose to be happy. We are in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Tonight is the 23rd night. It could possibly be the night of power. I wonder if it will rain. Maybe it rained when I was sleeping. I got up and bathed and drank a strong cup of coffee. Today is also Friday the 13th. I keep thinking. Life is beautiful. Life is simple. No need to complicate things. No need to be extravagant. Believe in God. Trust in God. Be guided by God. Imagine we can pray for anything. We can ask God for anything. God is always listening. God wants to hear from us. Maybe I can turn this blog post into a prayer. My God I pray that everyone gets their prayers answered. I pray that everyone gets what they need. I pray that you light our path towards you. Guide us with what you intend for us. Keep us close to you. Soften our hearts. Keep us balanced, consistent...

Belief is a part of life

By
I watched this video and I quite like it as a good starting point for this blog post https://youtu.be/t44PFI_V4LE We cannot know everything. We do not have the capacity to know everything. I make plans for tomorrow because I believe there is a tomorrow not because I know that there is a tomorrow. We cannot decide today to say we will only act on things that we know for sure. This would be impractical. As my friend Chatty puts it, to live life, we must believe in things that cannot always be proven with certainty. For example, we believe that the future exists, that our actions matter, and that other people can be trusted. We also tend to believe life has meaning and that things can improve. These beliefs help us make decisions, keep hope, and move forward. Given that belief is a part of life, it is reasonable to have people believe in a God and a particular religion. My point is this. Life cannot happen without belief because we cannot know everything (unless we are God like). Belief i...

God opens doors

By
It is 1203am and I have decided to write. Saturday I spent the night coding. I was trying to get a FastAPI app up and running, all from my budget Android phone. The test cases were written to use Puppeteer. I ended up using Replit for that. Coding is more challenging when using a mobile phone. Not impossible but more challenging. I hardly blog about technology and coding anymore but the love is still there. I still have a dream of creating my own coding and youtube studio with a nice desk setup. That is nice but what should I make this blog post about? What do I want to write about? What should I write about? I love creating presentations. That is something I could do to revive my youtube channel. I love Maths too. I have this feeling that I could solve one of those longstanding Maths problems that seems impossible. Sometimes, like right now, I feel like abandoning my blog post. It is going nowhere. Maybe I should get up and go wash the wares. I wish God could tell me what to write abo...
