I woke quite early today feeling good all over. I prayed The Lord to aid me perfect my role in today's script and I think i'm doing just fine.
I just had a good meal of eba to go with a combo of afang spiced with some egusi soup, a great meal. I'm well-fed, relaxed and at peace with creation.
There's this lady who served my meal, she's dissatisfied with her present job and seeks to change it, she comes to me, she needs my help. Here I am in search of a job myself and this woman comes pleading that I help her get something better, she shows much faith I can help her.
The irony of it all flashes through my mind, her faith rouses an instinctive human reaction, and like some pre-programmed benefactor, I begin to make contacts in earnest, fortunately i've gotten a couple of assurances that she'll be considered, I tell her, she's ecstatic.
That done, I walk a few yards towards home but the bright colours of fabric from my regular boutique catches the eye and alters the course i'd set my steps upon. I'm in, checking her latest additions, those two Tshirts would look real cool on me, they'd huh the body accentuating my lean sculpts.
Well, one thing leads to another and I find myself deep in conversation with the proprietress. She's in a foul mood, she's talking to herself and it's like someone just touched the button of my curious nature. Some guy, yeah always some guy, only this time it's her good neighbour, a friendly and close person spreading rumours. Something to do with her friendliness with the opposite sex. Word gets to her and she's furious, and hurt.
Why would a guy go about doing that to a lady he's so close to? why dont he confront her subtly with his observations?
I marvel at the guy's game. What's he getting at?
I'd bet a grand the dude has am incurable crush, is too timid to make it known, keeps it tucked away someplace and it's eating him up. Love has just crossed the thin line of sanity into resentment.
I'm now playing counsellor cum confidante - a role I must confess gives me a giant kick. Soothing words of comfort spewing forth with practised ease, i'm gently nudging her further in a bid to help her release the pent-up rage that had neared implosion, and the result is gratifying.
I see the shadows of a smile creep up her lower face once again, the dark creases on her forehead gradually fades like night to pre-dawn, the fiery embers that had become her pupils take a picturesque evolution into warm lustred orbs right before my eyes, and the lady is transformed back to a radiantly beautiful woman.
The effect of this whole event takes fervent emotional grip on me, a sense of affinity with nature pervades my consciousness. I begin to feel a sense of power welling up in me, and with it a satisfaction that only comes with the successful performance of duty.
There is no seen audience present to appraise my stage performance so far, but in my insides something tells me I couldn't played my role more laudably.
Today has just begun yet I have given hope, promise, comfort, gladness and a cheerful spirit to mankind.
This day has only begun.
