My Book of Life (2 Volumes), Oluwadahunsi
As you open each page of this book and look at the pictures and the prose beneath, you get a great sense of who the author is and what he is trying to say. The gorgeous pictures are of nature; trees, birds, water, sunsets, and sunrises, and his words are telling us to stop the senseless killing and corrupting of our world that cradles and nurtures us. In The Sweet Smell of Wonderful, page 37, the picture is a mountain pond with a snow-capped mountain in the distance, and the prose tells us:
Things of this Earth are what they are
All that is owned is within you
Nothing is possessed that you hold onto to
All are utility if the material.
Likewise, his prose also introduces us to the nature of ourselves, and our emotions like hate, envy, and greed:
Resentment is never still
It tries to get even
Temptation has no boundaries
Anyone can fall prey
Trouble knows no rank
It rankles everyone
It’s the world we live in
No one is living.
The last page of this book is the Letter to Maya Angelou, which is a beautiful poem dedicated to Maya Angelou, the great poet, writer, who changed the lives of so many underprivileged women in Africa.
…I know why the caged bird sings it sings to love
Only in love is there life
To Maya Angelou: When you see the face of Truth you
Fall in love! Thank you, Thank you! Many thanks
Love is lovely handle
Love is home
Love is always good.
My Book of Life, is the author’s life experiences and the wisdom that he has gleaned in his years of living, through experience, study, and mistakes, he writes the lessons that he has learned. The prose and the pictures combined tell us what the author wants us to know; that we are all one.
Oluwadahunsi is just completing his next book of seven volumes of the My Book of Life series entitled: My Book of Life: Little pieces of Heaven, this book is comprised of one and two sentence meditations. It is the second of the seven volumes in his My Book of Life series.
The title, Little Pieces of Heaven, describes the book perfectly as each meditation is exactly that, a little piece of heaven.
The author's inspirations for these meditations have come from the New Testament Bible. His meditations bestow us with how we can see Truth, God, and Light in our fellow person while journeying on our physical path to enlightenment.
Differing slightly from Letters to Maya Angelou, this book does not have the full color photo on each page, but the richness of the content is enough to stimulate your thoughts and evoke a sense of wonderment at the mystery of the Universe/God.
Often at times the meditations are quite abstract and demand just a bit more time on them, but others are easily recognizable making this book the perfect mixture of daily meditations.
