what it's worth.

"To Shinad

Hi Shinad How are you me I am fine.  I would like to tell you something.  Shinad at first I did not like white people because of aparteid but I have realise that you must not hate somebody just because of the colour.  You must not judge some body the colour of the skin, and since I have relise that you are a good person and you are a kind person.  And even you are not near me I will always love you.  You show me the love that my parent never show.
Shinad I love you with all of my heart

From: Hlengiwe"

thoughts for sunday.

When we arrived here at the house, there were a few magnets on the fridge left by previous volunteers, and this quote is on there.  I read it every time I'm in the kitchen (which is a lot, let's be honest) and I think it's really great.  It'll be especially appropriate when I find myself struggling with clutter, discord, or difficulty during my year here.

Out of clutter,

find simplicity.

From discord,

find harmony.

In the middle of difficulty lies

opportunity.

-Albert Einstein-

Happy Sunday!
