The Man Who Watered His Lawn

The Man Who Watered His Lawn gently but powerfully fuses the raw emotions of a teenage love story into a blended tragedy of grief, sorrow, violence, philosophy and healing.

It is a true story that is raw, caring and emotive, allowing the reader to enter the epicenter of the experience. The Man Who Watered His Lawn is a rare glimpse into the mind of a teenager riddled with confusion well into adulthood but with a message of hope and beauty.

The life we lived until then was magnificent. We learned that joy, like the joy of the intellect, is to feel itself alive and the aim of love is to love, no more and no less. We were building our young lives one memory at a time, one joyous experience built onto another. Each experience filling our senses as pleasurably as happening upon a mountain meadow covered in dew at the dawn of a new day.

It explores in heartbreaking reality the complex world of trauma and sorrow and contains the full atmosphere of human emotions, including the interconnected but misunderstood revelation of post-traumatic growth.

It’s within the confines of our internal garden that healing begins. The seeds of healing sprout into flowers and bring meaning to our lives, but it’s only in expressing this meaning through love and gratitude and in healing our hurts that give power to them. This power informs our purpose, which gradually allows the waters of happiness to flow gently into the arid cracks of sorrows desert.

Humanity in Trouble and Our Failure to Act

Mankind is on a crash course with destiny and doesn’t seem to have a clue! We are witnessing rapidly accelerating global warming of our own making that could potentially result in species extinctions, including our own. Witness widespread signs of the impending disaster including super storms, record drought, floods, forest fires and climate refugees. Dangerous nuclear saber rattling by Russia and North Korea is on the upswing and the Russian invasion of Ukraine threatens to expand to Western Europe. The increasing number of fascist, autocratic, dictator-run states such as China, North Korea, Turkey, and Brazil are snuffing individual freedoms, denying social justice and fanning the flames of global conflict.  The world’s population is rapidly approaching eight billion and is well past the point of Earth’s ability to sustain us. Crushing poverty, starvation, and dozens of militarized religious and ethnic conflicts. We have polluted our planet with toxic chemicals, oil spills, reckless dumping of trash on land and sea, contaminating the oceans with fish and fowl killing plastic waste.

This book is the result of overwhelming outrage and disappointment with our species, our failure to adequately address worldwide problems that threaten our very existence. We (if there is a ‘we’) should be embarrassed and ashamed. Nature has endowed us with near perfect bodies and amazing brains and for the most part we squander our evolutionary inheritance. And the greatest gift of all, consciousness, is under-developed in most of us. In this collection of essays, the author offers insights into the human condition, the reasons we have run afoul of the natural order, along solutions to alleviate human suffering on an individual and global scale plus some playful jabs at our human folly.

Long Waka with Jesus

In Long Waka with Jesus, Dr Gaston Nyabul di Kanza Mabaya retraces his steps from the days when he was a young lector and altar server in the Church in Yasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo), through the academic halls of Belgium, to the pulpits of the Roman Catholic Diocese of London in Canada.

It sometimes happens in our lives that we wonder about God’s presence. We ask ourselves a thousand and one questions. Why, for instance, does God allow this or that to happen? In Dr Mabaya’s case, the question arose several times. On each occasion, God proved to be present and faithful. Like most of us, he often asked himself this question again and again: “Where has my God gone?” especially when knowing how difficult a situation could be.

Long Waka with Jesus brings to light all the blessings which have encompassed the world of Dr Gaston Nyabul di Kanza Mabaya throughout his life.

Whatever stage you are at spiritually, you need to examine your life with God in a private moment of recollection. You will discover His marvels. He is among us, His children, waiting for us to make ourselves available and take His hand, which He offers us graciously. He will show you what is most meaningful in your life.

He loves you. In His company, none of you would feel alone. His love is unwavering.
