Kindness Matters - Inspired by 'The Beggar's Dance'

Juma and Zakiya from The Beggar's Dance

Inspired by the characters in "The Beggar’s Dance." Zakiya holds Juma’s hand, and shows compassion, love and gives him hope. “You have to believe in yourself, Juma, break the cycle. Yes you can dream.”

Life is You

I was at a funeral this afternoon and could not stop thinking where life could have taken this wonderful woman (in her sixties), who lost a battle with cancer. After everyone paid their last respects, she was carried to another place where she now belongs. The hymns and prayers echoed in the hall that left me in silence within my own inner space.

I believe, in this short journey that we are granted, it's important to follow our passion, because this will make us understand our purpose. Life is not a race, life is not comparison, life is not guilt—life is in our heart, life is love, life is compassion, life is giving thanks, life is generosity, life is discovery.

 Life is You.

May her soul Rest in Peace. Amen.
