I first heard my #ThemeSong today when I watched The Power of One, written by one of my favorite authors, Bryce Courtenay, and starring Morgan Freeman (one of my favorite actors). Since first hearing this song, my ears perk at any mention of African musical influence, and they are far better off as a result.

#ThoughtForTheDay:

It's not just Covid.

Life itself is a series of calculated risks.

Add the words "Intention"

And "Desire" -

And now you see the violence inherent in the system.

Human will is not a calculation.
