The Crossroads

ByMoyo Okediji

I went into my garage and found a harvest of forgotten canvases waiting for me.

This corona break has given me some time to look at what I already have produced.

This is the last painting I did in 1992, just before leaving Nigeria.

You will notice that it is made from gouache.

WHAT DIDN’T YOU SEE?

ByMoyo Okediji

Plenty to see and ponder,

so very much to read and wonder

in a half-penny newspaper.

First, you must see the three Magi

Looking to find the Messiah

At the throne of Herod?

The Three Mega-Pharmacies

Looking for the Corona Virus

didn’t start their search

in the manger scenes of Bethlehem.

Life

ByMoyo Okediji

Life, when lived properly, is like playing in this giant park called Earth.

Find the thing you love to play with, and turn it into your work.

Then you can start playing.

I play with words, to enjoy the miracle of sound.

I play with images, to savor the magnificence of sight.

Playing is the best way to give thanks to the Creator of this giant park, and to fully enjoy the fruits and drinks that the park abundantly supplies.

METAMODERN VISION OF TOLA WEWE.

ByMoyo Okediji

I am joyful today that I gave birth to a new baby.

As a writer, I am always very happy to see my new book in print.

A book is like a child: it takes a lot of work to raise a child.

But the credit for raising a child doesn’t belong to the parents only: the community also supports the parents as they raise the child from infancy to adulthood.
