I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my soul.”
Rumi
Hello, I’m Olutolani, and welcome to my blog. I started this website as a place to put all my musings and writings. I started writing from an early age; whether it be creating stories for English lessons or pouring my heart out in a diary that I kept hidden under my bed. Now I write to express pent up feelings and thoughts, to record things that have happened in my life, to explore things that I’m challenged by, to note things that I’m proud of, things that I’m grateful for, things that I want to change and improve. I write to state my intentions and aspirations, my wishes for other people, my gratitudes and regrets. I write it all.
And recently, it has felt like a super power that channels a higher purpose, a higher dimension, or a higher part of me that is above all that I am experiencing in daily life. It serves as a guiding light through the weeds and the rushes that often obscure my world view. And so this blog is my way of expressing what I feel, what I see, and what the higher part of me knows to be true. Of course you will have your own truth, and I must acknowledge that this is purely my interpretation. But I’m sharing it because these feel like important messages that I’ve been asked to share. Little packets of light released into the ether like delicate fireflies to land where they will, because they’re not mine. They are of the universe and of what it means to be human. They are here to inspire, to enlighten, to open the heart. Or maybe not – they are also open to judgement and rejection, and you may decide to turn away. But regardless I will still write, because I am a writer after all, and maybe this is one of the things that I’ve been put on this earth to do.
And so here we are. Look around, see if anything catches your attention, and maybe something you see here will spark the golden thread of creativity within you too.
