Editor:
The stormy evening winds hissed and wheezed, as I trudged across the street with a tornado of anxiety rolling in my conscience. I perched my anatomy on one of the seats in the cybercafé to enjoy a sail on the Internet. My mind swung on the hinges of ravishment as my eyes wheeled over each word of the magnificent article "Singing for joy and for Africa" (Coast Reporter, April 23).
The dream of Song Circle has breathed hope into our conscience; it has plucked the strings of our minds that will vibrate tunes of a destiny song on the world stage of our future. Our hope has been recuperated, our courage rejuvenated and our dreams resuscitated.
Our feet are strengthened in the storms to turn our disabilities into abilities, our impossibilities into possibilities, our retrogress into progress, our pains into gains. Today, we stand on the scars of our yesterdays, to reach out for the stars of our tomorrow.
I am reminded of Elsa Maxwell's quote: "Life is like a party. You arrive after it has started and leave before it is finished. But your contribution to the party is what matters more." Elsa's ripples of thought awakens reminiscences of Eleanor Roosevelt's quote: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." In our hearts, we sing along with you, we drum our minds to produce a song of destiny for our people to dance the way to their future in their rains of today.
May the sunshine of happiness keep shining upon your path of life.
