GOING POETIC... WOLE SOYINKA

Today being the 78 th birthday of our great Nobel Laureate Professor Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka. Lest we forget our own Kongi was the first African to win the Nobel Laureate in Literature.As we all know, he has written a lot of great works including popular plays like Lion and the Jewel,Kongi’s Harvest,Trials of Brother Jero to mention a few…I have also enjoyed one of his many other works like The Man Died: Prison Notes (1971) which is one of his Memoirs alongside also a vast range of works in Poetry.

On the occasion of his birthday today,I have decided to publish one of his Poems-Abiku-it is my favourite of his many poems.

ABIKU

Written by Wole Soyinka

Wanderer child. It is the same child who dies and returns again and again to plague the mother. -Yoruba belief

In vain your bangles cast

Charmed circles at my feet

I am Abiku, calling for the first

And repeated time.

Must I weep for goats and cowries

For palm oil and sprinkled ask?

Yams do not sprout amulets

To earth Abiku's limbs.

So when the snail is burnt in his shell,

Whet the heated fragment, brand me

Deeply on the breast - you must know him

When Abiku calls again.

I am the squirrel teeth, cracked

The riddle of the palm; remember

This, and dig me deeper still into

The god's swollen foot.

Once and the repeated time, ageless

Though I puke, and when you pour

Libations, each finger points me near

The way I came, where

The ground is wet with mourning

White dew suckles flesh-birds

Evening befriends the spider, trapping

Flies in wine-froth;

Night, and Abiku sucks the oil

From lamps. Mothers! I'll be the

Suppliant snake coiled on the doorstep

Yours the killing cry.

The ripest fruit was saddest

Where I crept, the warmth was cloying.

In silence of webs, Abiku moans, shaping

Mounds from the yolk.

Written by Wole Soyinka

THE PATHWAY TO CREATIVITY

"There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding"*

CREATIVITY: ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN AN ACTIVITY in order to CREATE!

What is creativity? Creativity, I will simply say is the ability to create or produce something new; it’s that which a man possesses which makes him engage in activity that produces new dimension of awareness or reality. Creativity is the result of Inspiration or a higher consciousness of being. This article will take a brief look at how creative thoughts or ideas are formed or obtained.

(a)Thoughts: Your thought stream is a principal pathway to creative ideas. The human mind is the seat of thoughts, and countless thoughts pass thought the human mind every second. The mind is a very potent tool and when trained well to engage actively in creative ideas can generate useful and creative ideas. Great thoughts are products of great thinking; great inventors have been known to have personal thinking rooms.

(b)Dreams: The subject of dreams is of much controversy in different circles yet it is a common avenue through which great ideas have been known to have sprung from. I will not go into theories or works of psychologists like Sigmund Freud here.

In 1861 August Kekule woke from his sleep, and he came up with the structure of the Benzene Molecule the way he had seen it in his dream like a snake eating its tail. As much as dream is a pathway to creative ideas, it is not a must to stay asleep for hours to receive creative ideas.

A Pharaoh in Egypt saw in his dreams an imminent famine and this guided his decision to put in place the first grain storage system the world has ever known through the help of a Jewish youth who interpreted the dreams who was instantly promoted to the post of the Prime Minister of the then world power

(c)Silence: Most creative thoughts are brewed in silent moments. Listening to the voice of silence can reveal it to you. Being quiet in your heart can pave way for the next creative ideas it is clearly obvious that we perform less under much noise and confusion neither can we seem to fathom out any useful idea when we are troubled within us. Calmness and tranquility within us put us in a very good stead for conceiving more refined ideas.

(d)Meditation: Meditating or pondering on an issue can be another pathway to birthing a more useful idea, your subconscious mind could process and relate productive thoughts at this particular time as you reflect on an issue. As you spend more time pondering on a particular subject, you begin to see it from a new perspective and you are open to more ideas on the same issue.

(e)Ambience: The environment you find yourself affects how you come to terms with your creativity. Have you ever wondered why multinationals and other big organizations take into cognizance their environment? They know how it affects their productivity and how it also makes it easy for their employees to be more creative. Spending time to create a more aesthetic environment around you will go a long way to affect how receptive you are to new ideas.

(f) Self awareness: Discovery always precedes recovery; constantly evaluating yourself makes you more aware of happenings around you as they relate to you. You consciously and regularly discover who you are. Your eyes are opened to your strengths and your weaknesses. And you gain new insights to how you can come up with the best ideas in the same situation.

(g)The Spirit of God: This is the most important source or pathway of creativity. In actual fact all the other pathways are subject to this. This Spirit is the main drive behind the creation of the Universe itself, and He is the one that triggers the creative nature within us. When we are in touch with Him He takes us to the unusual frequency where creativity resides. Access to Him activates the other pathways of creativity.

Keep achieving Greatness!
