Hold me as if for the first time

Hold me as if for the last time.

Hold me like you've never held me before.

Hold me like you'll never hold me again.

Hold me now

Hold me forever

Hold me as your life's treasure...

But please, just hold me.

Within the beautiful abstract adventure that is our mortal lives, walks our ancestors. In every way and day, they offer us guidance and wisdom even as they speak to God on our behalf.

This ancient transaction is what must be acknowledged and maintained if we are to have inner peace and not lose our bond with the blessings of our past.

Do not be overwhelmed by the joy of the present and the hope of the future without the sobriety of the past.

Live long in laughter and love.

The Ancients not only walked before us, but they walk within us.
Their wisdom is our intuition.
Their love is our desire to be our best.

Africa will always find its children, no matter how many generations afar they are from her earthly womb.
No matter how contemporary they become.

No tree grows tall without deep roots.
