The Peace of Wild things

The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life
and my childrens lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water,
and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief.
I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world,
and am free.
— Wendell Berry

Thina Simunye ~ We are Together

Afew months ago I met this young man called Paul in a small one shop village called Gortahork in the Gaeltacht, the South of Ireland. Little did I know that his film was having such an impact throughout the world. I believe he was still at college when he volunteered to help at the Agape orphanage South Africa. ... this movie is the butterfly effect of what he saw there & filmed.
Thina Simunye ~ We are together
And as for Slindile ~ well.... one only has too look at her smile to see the beauty that transcends and will continue to affect peoples lives for many years to come....
Orphaned by AIDS ~ her story & that of her family, told here very simply but beautifully through the songs of the children of the Agape Orphanage, in KwaZulu Natal, reached the streets of New York and all around the world.

what's Important

It's not about having everything go right;
~ its facing whatever goes wrong.
It's not about living without fear;
~it's about having the determination to go on in spite of it.
It's not about where you stand,
but the direction you're going in.
Remember to live just this one day
and not add tomorrow's troubles to today's load.
Remember that everyday ends and will bring a new tomorrow
full of exciting new things.
Love what you do,
do the best you can
and always remember
how much you are loved.
