Oh time, along with your favorite accessory...

...Omonoba...
Our people say:
Yoruba:Ohun tí ajá rí tó fi ńgbó ò tó èyí tí àgùntàn-án fi ńṣèran wò.
English: That which a dog sees and barks at is nothing compared to what the sheep contemplates in silence. - Yoruba proverb.
......................................................................................................................................

Incense is burning
Tea is warming
Letters are piling
...yet, nothing has changed.

Oh time, along with your favorite accessory - distance, please have mercy on me. Lend me but an inch closer   and let the piling letters be fewer.

Amen.

  2. Time... that's the 'T' that makes the difference between 'here' and 'there'.

    Don't worry, be patient. Time cometh..
