LIFE IS A PUZZLE IN NATURE

-

 How faith worked in Abraham remains a mystery. This bible story has become a fascinating and ideal part of my life. Imagine at the age Abraham had attained, he believed whatever a voice had commanded. This is rare in real life situation; a thing which very handful people would sustain. 


I begin to see the whole of Abraham in his frail days- 90s taking two to three minutes before he informs his family about he had heard from the voice itself. I can imagine him taking himself to a solitary place: thinking whether it was worthy enough to do as God had said or not. Sweat of some kind might really come. 


The most intriguing part of this story is that Abraham was a mere person in the society and to say something would be an obvious things that nobody couldn't have lent him an ear. He was at verge of all sorts of riducule: being a poor man living in his father's house, no child with his wife, Sarai and on other side, he hears a voice which also tells him an averse in nature. 


It took only his board step to meet his long awaiting blessing. Against all odds, he chose to listen to mysterious voice from above. I am sure that his father felt that the son was growing mad and his wife, Sarai, was even more confused and fragile looking at what the husband was dragging her to. She joined a husband to a land she doesn't know despite being told how sweet and promising the place would be.


One interesting thing I have learnt here is that; life is a mystery. In life, some people will get their portion of blessings as young as they could be while others grabing theirs at later times. 


To those that they got their blessings at tender age, thanks to Almighty. God favoured them according to his plans and purposes. And those that are, like myself, waiting for the salvation: lets keep our eyes open. 


Abraham became rich in silver and gold upon adhering to a land God told him to be. You might be a person of no name in the society, no partner，with or without school and in short, nothing tangible in life but there is appointed time: be watchful.

UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE AND A COMPLEX LEGACY- DR JOYCE BANDA

-
Image
By Emerson Sam Navaya W hile watching a video clip of Nelson Nkhata’s Yaza Talk Show featuring Dr. Joyce Banda, Malawi’s first female president, I was struck by her poise, conviction, and deep understanding of governance. Her words carried the weight of someone who has navigated the turbulent waters of Malawian politics, serving as a cabinet minister under former Presidents Bakili Muluzi and the late Dr. Bingu wa Mutharika before ascending to the presidency from 2012 to 2014. The clip left me reflecting on what makes Joyce Banda unique and whether she could indeed outperform her previous tenure if given another chance in the upcoming September 16, 2025 elections. Nelson Nkhata’s interview, even in its brief form, sparked a renewed curiosity about her leadership, her past, and the lessons she might bring to the table today.

CLOSED ROOM

-

By Emerson Sam Navaya T he room was dimly lit, the curtain drawn against the late afternoon sun. Dust motes floated in the narrow beam of light that sneaked through a crack. The boy sat on a low stool, restless fingers drumming against his knees, while his father leaned back in the old wooden chair, shoulders heavy but eyes carrying a rare softness. It was not often that the man invited his son into a closed room. These moments were sacred, whispered between silence and regret, where truths ached to be told. The father cleared his throat, a sound both weary and deliberate.  “Sit still, my son. Life is not as long as it looks from where you are sitting. It passes quickly, and in that shortness, you must choose carefully.” The boy lifted his gaze, curious but quiet. He had always known his father as a stern man, a man of little words, and now here he was, spilling thoughts like water finding cracks. “I have walked through choices that shaped me,” the father continued, his voice carry...

Poem Review- The Second Coming

The part of the screenshot of the poem:- photo The Gist of the Poem T he Second Coming (1919) by W.B. Yeats is a visionary and apocalyptic poem that captures a world spiraling into chaos, where traditional structures- social, moral, and political- are collapsing. The poem reflects Yeats’s anxieties about a disintegrating civilization and the emergence of a new, potentially terrifying order. The personea juxtaposes the breakdown of societal cohesion with the ominous arrival of a “second coming,” not of Christ but of a monstrous, ambiguous force. Stanza 1. This stanza paints a vivid picture of a world in disarray. The “widening gyre” refers to Yeats’s concept of historical cycles (or “gyres”), where civilizations rise and fall in a spiral motion. The falcon, a symbol of order and control, can no longer hear its falconer, suggesting a loss of guidance and authority. The phrase “things fall apart; the centre cannot hold” is an iconic, encapsulating the collapse of societal structures. ...
