Soul rebel

It was then, when the storms in my mind had made me a shipwrecker in an isolated coast of Nine Mile in Saint Ann parish of Jamaica. I was waiken from a gentle cheerful music a man was playing.
Don’t “Stand alone” there he said nodding to me to sit by his side in a “Corner stone”.
He offered me a cup of coffe politely.
Come on take it, he said, you may drink from “My cup”, “It’s alright”, I’m not afraid that you might learn my secrets. “Lively up yourself” he continued as he seemed to be trying to “Cheer up” myself, like anything in the world.
You are very nice I noted to him.
Having “No sympathy” for your fellowman is like having “No water” for your soul he replied.
A man of his kind could only bring out “Mellow moods” to me.
Who are you? I asked him.
I’m a man that you would call a monk for his way of living for I have decided to leave near Mother Nature as I believe that the modern way of living kills a man’s soul. I’m a man that escaped from the “Brain washing” and refused to live the life that was built for him by others and to stay in only one place, even spiritually. I would call myself a “Soul rebel” he concluded prowdly.
You find yourself so close to nature that you can call it your mother? I wondered.
I have realized that we all come from her and cannot live if it is not in harmony with her. I have her in my veins, that’s why I feel pain for her. “How many times” the earth needs to yell “Caution” he replied. Somebody needs to hear and respond eventually! “Can’t you see” this world was created to be shared among us but not as a property of ourselves? We should live “All in one”. If we harm nature it is for sure that we have to deal with her “Reaction”.
How did I come here? I wondered.
I have come in your way uninvited but this is what I do when I think a man needs me the man said.
And how I may need you? I asked.
I have somehow realized that your mind was in rough seas, I have even heard you yelling to the wind “Don’t rock my boat”. I say that this is what you should earn from every roughness in your life: Without any rough seas you won’t learn to paddle. Use it as a lesson for every problem that you comes into you. With the oar you can keep the balance in your life. Time is a vehicle that moves fast in one direction only, and you cannot “Stop that train”. This trip isn’t long enough for swinging, cause heavy swinging may sink your boat. Whenever your time comes to leave this life, you must feel full. Whatever brings you joy or fills up your soul with happiness “Do it twice” or keep on doing it but stop it before you satisfy your hunger for it. Keep a little something for the next time. Whatever brings you sorrow forget it and “Keep on moving”, don’t “Back out”....

His words and his music are still hanging around my head whenever I have rough seas in my life. Thank God I have made his sayings my property because I can never see him alive. He’s “Riding high” in the “Rainbow country” while the “Sun is shining”. “Chances are” that Charon took him too early to teach him why life is worth living it with every breath of your lungs, every cell of your body. Charon must have learned by now how rich he is having in his possesion all these lives for all these years.

The words in Bold and quotes are ALL songs of Bob Marley.
