Kwanele Nyembe (Tory Saint) - Benedictions.

May you find peace within
For when you have to go without
May you find ease in being
Living in a world thats leaving you out
May you find strength
To breathe
To accept the next breath even when nothing is left and the current state feels indefinate
May you find new ways to live
When nothing around you feels heaven sent so you hold on to anything thats dying for the hell of it
Remember,
That those who feast on decay become the host and it feeds of its environment
What you take in gives either life or death
With that being said,
You need to be more cautious in what you partake in
And if you find your plate already made,
Be sure to have only ate that which is in agreement with your spirit
Deception is an acquired taste so learn to say no to yourself no matter how long it takes
Being equally yoke means being in unity with those who help heed the divinity you habour in your bones
Don't be afraid to be alone if need be
But if you need me,
Just know that you abondoning yourself to build a home in my skin, may you find yourself
Even if it means going missing
Because trust me,
No one will miss you as much as you have missed yourself.

❤️🙌🏽

and think lust will last
and by loving lust will end up with ever lasting love,
but always end up with never lasting lust"
