Peace - Love - Unity

While thinking about the concept of 'being free', three themes come up very strongly in my opinion which are the universal philosophy of 'peace, love & unity'.

Saturday, 21 Sept. 2013  marked a day when Kenya was hit with one of the most devasting major terrorist attacks in its history and I write this in memory of those who lost their lives and as proud Kenyan that my fellow brothers & sisters showed that through adversity Kenyans are united regardless of creed, race, religion or social status.....(during the attack Kenyans helped each other to escape the attack, men carrying babies and children out of the scene,onlookers volunteering themselves to holding the wounded to safety and after the attack paramedics rushing to the scene and doing their level best, volunteers in numbers arriving to donate blood, security forces working jointly with other agencies to maintain calm). Solidarity, unity and oneness was evident throughout the ordeal which reminded me :

' Freedom comes from within.... In the heart of every human being is that one space which is free, which is filled with peace & which is full of love'.....

 Peace lights the way... Love bridges gaps & brings colour into our lives (the prescription that in its unlimited doses is a magic formula that cures all problems)...and Unity enables us to live in peace......

And together the three allow us to be free.

As the first night of the year draws near I'm reminded of all the possibilities that await as I turn the first page of a new chapter today.  While reflecting on the last one year and looking towards the next, I'm also reminded of my countless blessings and the many things I should be thankful and grateful for. As I cherish deeper what I have a part of my soul bleeds for the many who are facing suffering, str

Place to Call Home...

 During uncertainty trial tribulations and chaos the best place to call home is where we find peace and glimmers of hope/ rays of light ! Wherever that may be ...with family, pursuing passion, hobbies, travel ,nature, seeing a sunrise .and sometimes it is in simplicity of comradeship and companionship.  Sunrise is born from this idea.                                                        Sunrise - oil on canvas - March 2021
