Excerpt - My African Rose

The world is going through another of her transitions, just like those we have witnessed before. Not something new or more evil than past growth spurts.
The universe carries on.
It’s our responsibility to create our own path towards our goals.
Time does not wait; nor are we owed anything. - Rorke Wilde (My African Rose)

We make of it as we will.

Never give up.

That is why we are here.

“The purest of the arts where scribes develop a distinctive tone of their life's work whilst exploring nuances for the next project. Having to produce intricate webs of subtle flows, maintain focus and striving relevance.”
