The end of suffering.

Hope in 2023

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Happy and Blessed 2023!

Happy and Blessed #2023!

This message was not yet ready on the 1st (New Year's day), so I was working very hard to get it out by the 22nd (Chinese New Year).

@Windows was however not playing along

- but here it is!

The Philosophy of Water

What would water do?

Water flows in adaptability - what lessons can water teach us?

Mike Posner - Nothing Is Wrong

I say I am not my haircut,

I'm not my body Not my clothes;

I'm something much more beautiful

Deeper than even I know

Nothing Wrong With Me...

Unlike Pluto - Nothing Wrong With Me (Live)

Nothing Wrong With Me

"Why do we care so much about what everybody's thinking

Everybody's thinking too much about everyone else

I'm tired of believing that there's something wrong with me

Who cares about what they believe

Cause there is nothing wrong with me

No, there is nothing wrong with me"

Ek Sal Staan

Ek sal staan
Ek sal staan, jy kan maar lag
Ek sal staan, stuur maar die nag
Maar ek sal staan

- Amanda Strydom

SA women - let us remember Women's Rights = Human Rights. If we are not treated fair and just, our children are not being treated fair and just. If our rights are ignored, our children suffer. We cannot keep quiet for the sake of the children - when we keep quiet it is at the expense of our children.

And then, if the last couple of years has been tough, remember - There's Something Inside So Strong!

Lira -

The higher you build your barriers

The taller I become

The farther you take my rights away

The faster I will run

You can deny me

You can decide to turn your face away

No matter, cos there's....

Something inside so strong

I know that I can make it

Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong

You thought that my pride was gone

Oh no, something inside so strong

IT'S NOT ENOUGH...

"It's not enough to just feel the flame
You've gotta burn your old self away"

What if you are enough?

What if you are enough and may let go of what no longer serves you?

What if you are enough and might be who you really are, without the trauma/drama, labels, hurts etc, which you carry around like a cloak?

"When the wolves come and hunt me down
I will face them all and stand my ground
'Cause there's a fire burnin' in me
They will see my strength in this love I found"
