"Arise, Africa, Our Motherland — Let the Earth Hear Your Song"
O Africa, cradle of kings and queens,
Your rivers shimmer with untapped dreams,
Your mountains hum with ancient songs,
Your soil, rich with the blood of the strong.
Arise from slumber, O Mother divine,
Awaken the wealth that lies in your spine —
Gold, oil, diamonds, fertile lands,
But greater still, the strength of your hands.
Let the deserts bloom and the cities rise,
Let knowledge and courage light up your skies.
No longer bow, no longer plead —
Stand firm, create, plant every seed.
Use your treasures, both seen and unseen,
For progress, for dignity, for a future pristine.
O Africa, hear destiny's drum —
Arise, our Motherland — your time has come!

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace.
A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being
that places harmony in one's life.

To love. To be loved.
To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence
and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated
or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch. To try to understand.
To never look away. And never, never, to forget.
- Arundhati Roy

A cool breeze.
A golden sunset.
A quiet walk on the beach, or the neighborhood street.
A furry friend snuggled next to you.
A cool drink of water.
A lick of an ice cream cone.
A loving hand on your shoulder.
A butterfly enjoying the flowers.
A rainbow after the storm.
Appreciate Small Pleasures.

The wise man in the storm prays God,
not for safety from danger,
but for deliverance from fear.
It is the storm within which endangers him,
not the storm without.
