Independence Day

Last Thursday, we celebrated the DR Congo's independence.

Yesterday, I celebrated my own.

Saturday, we will celebrate South Sudan's very first independence day.

I truly believe the best way to remember those who fought to make us free

Is to work as hard as they did for the freedom of others.

"As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free!"

What does it mean to be human?

I've lived my life so passionately in love with the human soul;

With art, with music, with literature, with connection.

Driven by the obsession with getting a glimpse into another human mind,

Of sharing and seeing the overlaps between us, in every venue of life.

Wanting to see the bigger picture,

Consumed with a fascination with the human condition.
