It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed. A man who takes away [...]]]></description>

Sometimes the stories around here are massive and mind-boggling, tributes to big money and breathtaking ineptitude, sometimes they  are small stories about stubborn determination.
Welcome to Africa.

		<description><![CDATA[Seagulls pivot and pinion on the edge of the wind
Draw quivering wingtips through the air
Soft fingers through Tawhiri&#8217;s hair
stitch sky to land
and brand the morning light
with blue and golden promise.
Messengers all,
envoys,
bearing Rangi and Papa&#8217;s pledges
To each other.

Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
 Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
