Letters to Juliet

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that love had an expiry date." - Sophie responding to Claire's letters.

Letters to Juliet is a fantastic romantic comedy and this maybe one of the best love quotes ever.

Quote about the future of South Africa

"The future of South Africa isn't going to be white, it isn't going to be black. It is going to be African." - Chief Albert Luthuli
The man was a prophet.

Excuse me Ma'm

The bird dances over the soothing blue and rolling white. The waiter asks whether I have been assisted.

The sun kisses the sea. Mist flutters over the distant waves, just a little above, as though for some beautiful purpose as it brushes the sandy green cliff. I look at her: "Of course I have been assisted."

The first shall be last

The first shall be last and the last shall be first, said the First and the Last , the Beginning and the End, the Author and Finisher (Perfector) of our faith. So don't worry about those who are first or richly endowed with other kinds of worldly wealth, you do your thing, finish YOUR race, sukuqalaza, don't look around. You are your competition. Don't you dare compare or you will miss the entire POINT of your life and you will live a lie. Ndiyekeni ndihambe imini iqalile magwala ndini ( allow me a bit of Xhosa poetic license)

The Voice

Let it cry aloud 

Let it be heard

Let it sing

Release the voice

Release the sound of freedom

Let it ring in the streets

Let it be heard

Cry aloud

Call wisdom

Recall joy

Release the Voice

Let it rule us once more

Rule us with freedom

With Joy 

With singing

It is time for the true voice 

The Voice of voices

Speaking among a clutter 

of billions of vices pretending 

to be voices speaking at once

Voice of the sound of many waters be found 

Confound the learned with Your wisdom and grace

Peace of Nature

I took this image at a moment where I was actually a little anxious because things did not turn out as I had expected. It then felt as though I wasted my time. I saw these peaceful creatures watching this mucky water. Even the mucky water and the birds somehow captured my imagination as beautiful and peaceful. This image gives me that peaceful feeling every time I look at it.

Beautiful Friendships

What is any girl without beautiful friendships.

What is life without solid relationships? It is no life at all. My blog is about life as a sum of conversations. I maintain the theory that without conversations life is not life. In order for life to be meaningful it is necessary to have relationships that have been following your conversation as much as you have been following theirs. If such consistency does not exist that one's life is much like a conversion through a broken telephone. Conversations are lost and the true meaning of the original conversations is distorted and lost. Distortion is dangerous because everyone wants to be heard and acknowledged or else they do not feel a part of life.

This image represents a very significant conversation. It is a sum of something much larger than one conversation. It cannot be contained and so it continues into the future as it connects the past.
