She walks to the altar and the priest asks what do u fear.?
She whispers, I fear not today for I am happy today. I fear though that I am marrying an animal; wounded in pain and has lost all confidence, whose paws are thorned and bleeding, shaven, broken but a beast nonetheless.
I fear that I will bath and nurse him, pull out the thorns and bandage his wounds, brush his mane of glory, feed him, sharpen his claws with my bare hands. Give him teeth where he has none, hustle and toil, pay his debts, tire my body and spirit while he regains his strength.
Then one day he will stand, shake his body and raise his paws against me and roar."I am in charge, you are lesser than me..everything you own is mine, you are mine!"
I fear I will not be surprised, I knew he was a beast after all.

Company...
I realise that earlier i had said that if I have nothing to write then I will write nothing. However for the past three weeks I have not written, not because I had nothing to write,no, the reason is that I had too much on my mind. Everything I wrote seemed to lack objectivity..it was more driven by the emotions of the day. Therefore I decided against publishing any of it. Now things seem to be gaining perspective, slowly but surely the content of my thoughts is regaining its form.
During my trials I made two observations about company. By this I mean the people you have around you. A lot has been written about the company we keep as human being, what most people do not realize is that it is not always by choice. Some people are forced upon you by unavoidable circumstances. That is one thing. The other is that these people can influence your way of thinking to the extent of altering your perception about the world. Yeah the "world" is too general, say altering your perception about life and the daily struggles.
I have found myself working very odd hours, night hours to be more specific. This limits social contact with people of my choice. I am thereby forced to interact daily with the people whom I am working with. As for them influencing me...No. I have made it my business to keep sharp my thoughts, hold on to my values and be consciously aware of changes in my perception. This I do by regularly going home and sharing my latest* yes latest as ave been told I bubble with ideas, and evaluating their feedback.
I believe that we should at least have the luxury of choosing the company we keep.
