For the first time ever, I find myself able to laugh at my own vanities.

WHY? is it so challenging for us to always remember our common humanity.

I’m fortunate that this Summer of Structure has brought ME back full circle to Pascal & individuality.

Blaise Pascal, "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."

Since my hero's passing 3 years yonder, I’ve subscribed to the dogma that:

- our collective task as a people was to make sense of the world objectively, however channeled from a subjective perspective;

- that everything submits, to a form of providence & universal law,

- that a restraint in living & emotion is free will,

- and that living life fearlessly is paramount.

YAMBUKA is over 2 years old now, and she has helped me experience the unity of self & purpose, and because of her, I’ve have soaked myself in contemporary enlightenment, battling to unlearn the false ideologies that govern the miracle of our naked existence.

Shy but full of life, YAMBUKA is always smiling & giggling the cute way toddlers do. As one of her many parents, I too tear up as I 'chalk out' her uncertain future. I hope she grows up to be a strong and independent universal entity, that reminds ALL that even when the moon loses its light, or the stars seem nor longer bright, that the human spirit is capable of overcoming any obstacle.

It’s clear to me now, that, whilst I, in my hubris, believe I can (and must) come up with new ideas in order to make for a good world, the truth is there is nothing new to ponder. Simply live, love & OVERCOME.

If you cannot serve the ones around you; and if you cannot add measurable value to these lives, then you cannot make the world a better place; the sum of our thoughts, the fundamental nature of your universe, is inherent in each fleeting moment.

YAMBUKA is ALIVE !

Onwards. Upwards. Always !
