metro african ligkaribe

I’m a Bantu girl (likgaribe) of Setswana/ Sotho /Shona descent.. Having grown up in Bulawayo I also have a strong Ndebele heritage. Currently I live in Botswana but a part of me will always be Ndebele. I am of the Mmirwa tribe –, my totem is the Buffalo & just like the Buffalo I am very brave, protective, fierce and dangerous when provoked. I love learning about my African heritage, and that of other people, I believe if you stop learning as a person you might as well roll over and die.

A ligkaribe Spiritual Poem; I BREATHE

To attain happiness in our world
is rather like trying to pursue
a droplet of water
in the vastness of the ocean.



We hope to unify ourselves
with oneness,
oneness being the whole
that we seek to become,
And that whole is the
emptiness of oneness
the wholeness of all things
the wholeness of nothing.

I am an enlightened being;

I do not seek enlightenment;
I need only practice it
and seek to remove all
distractions to my practice,
I am perfect in my enlightenment,
whole and complete,
neither fearing nor unsure
of my wholeness,
Unlike the angel,
I am not perfect holiness,
nor pure spirit,
In my enlightenment
lies my divinity

In the midst of darkness,
I posses a shining spirit,
In the midst of pain and suffering,
I am joy and laughter,
In the midst of death,
I am life, I am breadth,
I am purity and perfection
These things exist
but they cannot touch me,
I am an over comer,
I am a healer,
I posses a strong heart,

I am the creator
and the created,
born of energy
forged to perfection
in the bosom of the cosmos
I am truth itself
and therefore I am free,
I have a direct line to the source
In all this perplexity,
I am enlightenment.

I am awake to my true nature,
the fire within me,
the pulsation of life
deep inside me
I am one with it,
why should I seek immortality,
when eternity is here and now,
I am eternity

What am I enlightened?
How am I enlightened?
Why am I enlightened?
Who am I enlightened?
How do I practice and live enlightenment?
What are the results and fruit of practice?
Why enlightenment, why everything, why life?

Don’t be afraid of enlightenment
for fear is the root of all pain,
the purveyor of destruction,
the destroyer of life.

Are you interested in enlightenment
do you want to posses a shining spirit and a strong heart?
Awake to your true nature
Awaken the unborn heart
the search begins here and now
the search begins deep within.
The truth is hidden inside of you
a treasure you have
jealously preserved for all
eternity.
