This Maze Called Life

My name is Paul Obafe. And I am not normal.

My life went into a tailspin a few years ago. It was like a tornado ripped through the land of my life. By the time its fury was expended, there was a solemn quiet and with it was the aftermath of destruction. Ruin.

"So where do I go from here? To the right, where nothing is left? Or to the left where nothing is right." ¿ Unknown

I was tired and well-worn. Then the rains began. They beat me wet. But they washed me; of the mud that had caked around me. They cleaned my rich clothes that had become poor and tattered.

Then the sun came. My rags were dried. I could see clearly once the storm was over. I could see a city so far away. It was my only hope to survive. Was it real? Or was it just a dream of the night? Or was it a vision of my days? A mirage? But I walked towards it. Through the elements. The hot days. The cold nights. The wild animals. The supporting friends. The jeers of frenemies. The battles of my mind.

Till I made it to the City of New Beginnings. The place of fresh starts. Till I made it to success. Which I found out, is a journey. Not a domicile.

My trust in the Divine remains absolute! He will guide me through this maze. This Maze Called Life!

I invite you to share my journey through life. Maybe we can learn about life through experience past and through faith in the future. Maybe we can find answers to questions together. Let us share what is important in life and what is not so important, eventually.

And I refuse to be normal. Still.
