Hanging in Black Limbo -

“You belong to you”

still circling around the same issues

a spiritual  drought 

Siyababa Mtshali 

“trying to connect the dots”

Siyababa:  is zulu slang and when it is loosely translated to english it means we (or better yet) I am hot 

Behold! Siyabonga SIYABABA Mtshali. Please memorise his face because he’s a creative force to be reckoned with.

When was the last time you yearned for “the good ‘ol days” ?

Within Without

I don’t know. I’m yet to discover why I find solitude so alluring presently. I can’t imagine a better chance to experience oneself without limitations. Could you conceive anything better than doing nothing but just being. Being present and mindful and by yourself. Just within without. Yes. within without. I like that.

There’s a treasure trove I’ve discovered in the CBD, it’s an old CD shop. The owners still use calculators to work out the sales and they have an old school cash register that makes a ching sound when it closes. When I walked into by chance (looking for directions) , it literally felt like I’ve stepped back into the early 2000’s/late 90’s. I love finding spaces that induce nostalgia, not sure why yet, but I find it sublime and time-travel-esque

A storm is brewing

So I took these pics of my little sister today.
One time for the beautiful black youth.☁️✨
