You are a bright shining star in a universe that needs you and more like you...the smilea on your beautiful face in photographs captures your illuminated essence and expresses your willingness to give of yourself to make mother Afrika the place of pure love it is regardless of such suffering.<br /><br />Keep up your mission of your awakened spirit of supreme passion. The world is a better place, everyday, for all that you do, which is magically natural to you.

I've noticed there is often noticeable signs of cynicism, isolation, and depression that creeps in on you after being so far from your frame of reference...or when you can't make sense of things. It makes things like blogging and keeping up with your email almost upsetting.

I'm wishing you can dig deep to find that elusive catalyst for change - hope - and continue to find joy and revelations in the small things, like African sunsets and in-car introspection. My time in Malawi still confuses me, so I've given up looking for some sort of lens that will bring it all into focus. The liminal gray is one of the most compassionate and open-minded place in which to find yourself floundering, so I would argue there are worse places one could be. Much love to you on this fall valley day. <br />xoxo<br />HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351318570019342812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816853700167542580.post-39255477578270718402012-09-17T08:23:57.553+02:002012-09-17T08:23:57.553+02:00You are amazing Les!

Educating girls is the ONLY way to break the cycle - bringing population under control, increasing labour force efforts, empowering women...donating money is not good enough anymore. Education is key! I think of the expression: "give a wo-man a fish vs. teaching a wo-man to fish". Women...you are all beautiful; not for your skin, your face, your body, but for what your creative spirits, positive energies and brilliant minds can bring to the world and to each other.Cheryl Mitchellnoreply@blogger.com
