Insist and Persist

Ntombenhle

A radio show, call to my sister and a conversation with friends lands me in an inquisitive ponder on insistence and persistence. Shall I unpack?

Ntombenhle

I want to believe because I have to believe That this feeling in me is as true as truth could ever be As new as the birth of any original concept has ever been Because in my mind My heart My soul and other parts of me so precious and pristine they go by no name for only the force and source that molded me as I am need call upon it Would know of its need, feel its purpose and be the vehicle to its destiny I want be simply because I have to be this that is enriched … Continue reading I want to…I have to
