MYSTREY

The Heart is a Mystrey we never know what is in the Heart, we never know what people keep in their hearts, we always want to know and we sometimes will never know, its a mystrey, no one knows, not even the owner of the heart knows what they sometimes feel, out of it there is love, hatred, happiness, sadness, pain and joy, all of this are in the heart it is truely a mystrey to me. A friend of mine One day told me, "Haryet, always follow your heart, your heart will never lie and do what your heart tells you" boy i took it and it is true, your heart will never lie, but if i myself do not even know what my heart is saying how then will i know the truth, its a mystrey, my heart is a mystrey but i have choosen to listen to her anyway, and the few times i have, or rather many i have know how true it has been and how true my heart has always been, i will follow what she says even when my mind does not understand, and right now, she knows the right direction but she is scared, and i will follow her anyway.
i have trained my heart to Love and they say "Love never fails"i have let her walk in love, i have let her take me where she wants me to go as long as it is in love. one of my favourite quotes it "you can close your eyes to the things you don't wanna see but you can not close your Heart to the things you don't wanna feel" it has worked for me and it has helped me open up, it has helped me be a better person, it is in my heart. At this point, am griped with fear, but my heart tells me it is going to be alright if i can let her rule, and let her be and let her lead me, she is up for a "wounderful friendshp" and am going to side with her, i never want to do what she does not want and have to regret all my life, how she works i have no idea all i know is when i do what she wants am at peace. there is one thing i say that has somethng in common with my heart. Father(GOD), he is a mystrey, the bible says he is love and when you recieve him you recieve Love, i guess i have that mystrey in my heart, Love, no body understands it and everybody wants it, everybody thinks it will all be smooth and they forget it can sometimes be rough, but the heart understands and it is still a mystrey to me how she understands all these, i choose to follow my heart i choose to follow the mystrey.Three things are beyond me, four i do not understand, The way of an eagle in the sky, the way of the snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the sea and the way of a man with a young woman.MYSTREY

AM LUO, Who are you?!?

On the last Day of the conference, we watched a documentary titled " the Gorvernance Gap" it forcused on northern Uganda, made me Proud again that i was an Acholi, Pround to be part of them, When you are born, you never choose who you want your parents to be and in the same way you never choose what tribe you want to belong to or which country you want to belong to, i am Ugandan i i was born in Uganda, i am proud to be coming from the tribe of Acholi, watching this documentary made me remember my grandparents and all the people in northern Uganda who suffered the war, made me both sad and Strong in a way that i can do something for my people, that i can restore the hope that they once lost can be restored, i prayed and asked father what can i do, how can i be of help to the people who speak my mother tongue to the people who are crying out there, they are afraid, they do not know what to do,they are hopeless and yet they still stand everyday and hope things will get better, some resort to alcohol to hide their fears and frustrations, some commit suicide and others run away from hoem, some join the army not becausethey want to but it it the last resort they do not know what to do or wehre to go they have lost their culture, their childhood and their youth, they have lost their gender identities in terms of providing for their families when it comes to the men and the women have lost their values due to being raped,they do not feel like they are part of Uganda, they feel neglected and rejected, they do not know their crime they cry out for forgiveness and do not know what wrong they have done, they are my people, they are Acholi People, they are Luo.
the life they once know is now gone, they gracefully danced in circles and lifted each other in praise, and now their songs are sad even as they dance in circles their songs now is about how many loved ones they have lost and how hopeless life is .Can i change the songs again, can i help them compose new songs of restoration and hope, can i help then still dance in circles and maintain the culture, can i help them in anyway, whether we like it or not we can not change the past but i am sure we can change the future, What can i do for the future Generation of my people in Northern Uganda, Kitgum district? what can i do Father Help me Help me God, its not my fault that i Am LUO.
