The Hidden Path
O human child,
The world is filled with much evil
And ladened with many sorrows.
Summon your courage to be happy;
Then shall you find the good hidden therein.
Composed by Ruxton ADEBIYI.
Evolution: The Lost World
Like a gentle faint voice calling out to me from a distance, I couldn't tell when or why I left the comfort of my home and wandered outside. There I was, in the cool of the night, relaxing on a soft chair with its back tilted, listening to the low running noise of the electric pump as it circulated water, and made ripples on the swimming pool beside me. The fog lamp on the fence lit a small piece of rectangular lawn in front of me, as I watched the sprinkler spray the grasses at intervals. I said within me: "This is tranquility". Perhaps this was the strong call that led me outdoors; leaving behind the conditioned air, TV sound, chemicals called ingredients oozing from the kitchen, and the black shoes I had to wear all day in pretense of comfort! Out here, I felt more human, ...but it came as a shock to me to realize that there was something still missing, I thirst for much more than this! As if my mind was listening, I was lost in thought to a time of many generations...
Sweet
