The human battle

Inspiration to re-think one's existence and one's purpose can come from different sources. I'm a big believer in finding joy in small things but i also occasionally seek something bigger, something greater. Sitting in listening to Wole Soyinka give his tribute to Wangari Maathai and delivering his challenge to us, i returned to that well where my spirit was invigorated.

In a world where we seem to be caught up in more suffering than celebration of life, in spaces where we no longer feel so safe, in wondering about what we can do to make it right...the words of Wole Soyinka couldn't be a more powerful reminder: "Perhaps it is high time we declare ourselves fundamentalists of human liberty!"
