Conflict

I've been feeling a sense of unrest, of conflict lately and was having a hard time pinpointing the source.  This piece came to me today and I think it articulates the larger human conflict that Africa so poignantly highlights to us all....

Africa

Teeming with life, flooded with death.

Human ability to face adversity with grace, faith, wisdom, strength and joy, a battle ground of the worst atrocities humans can impart on one another.

Old, wise sages bringing forth the wisdom of the ages, the utter incredulousness of babies being plucked from life for lack of basic resources.

Overflowing with riches, buried in poverty.

The intensity and complexities of human life shown to us all in Technicolor.
