About Me

.. ..As we grow up, we learn that this is NOT a nice world. By the grace of God we also discover GOD IS GOOD.
FULBE PROVERBS
If you like where you fell, don't forget what tripped you.
A monkey sitting in the fork of a tree can't understand the one hanging from a branch.
Better to spend the whole day finding a way around than to plunge in and drown.
Calling demons isn't difficult; it's sending them away again.

LYRICS: Lovers In A Dangerous Time, by Bruce Cockburn (Opens in a new window)
LYRICS: King Without A Crown, by Matisyahu (Opens in a new window)
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel
as if your love's a crime
But nothing worth having comes
without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
...Bruce Cockburn, Lovers in a Dangerous Time , 1983

LYRICS: The Crossing, by Johnny Clegg and Savuka (Opens in a new window)

"I'm trying to say what I think brotherhood really is. It begins—it begins in shared pain."
"Then where does it end?"
"I don't know. I don't know yet."
ALFIE
LYRICS: Lily Allen, Alfie (Opens in a new window)
...like all things evil, the rhinoceros is always in a hurry and it always charges in straight lines, crashing over everything, even the innocent. You must know that evil is hot in action and travels always in a straight line. Only the good and wise, such as our lord the elephant, go slowly in and out, round and about, making their way through the bush as the wise among men go through life, like a river seeking that Great Water which 'Bamuthi has never seen. --'Bamuthi, in A Story Like the Wind (Laurens van der Post)
There are two ways of getting home, and one of them is to stay there... (G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man )
..


    The dripping blood our only drink,
The bloody flesh our only food:
In spite of which we like to think
That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—
Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
(T.S. Eliot, The Four Quartets)
