The Desert Sings
The oppressive sun beat on the backs of the young children. Three months had passed since their arrival on the cotton farm; kidnapped from their homes by ruthless and merciless slave masters looking for free labour, they had given up hope of ever seeing their families again. Each day dragged on to the next asContinue reading “The Desert Sings”
Down in the Valley
It all started with a single loud shout. In seconds, we were surrounded by angry men waving guns in our faces, yelling and swearing. Chaos followed as I watched my worst fear unfold right in front of me. Moments later, I lay on the cold floor with the rest of my family, hands and feetContinue reading “Down in the Valley”

People have gone from living a normal, every day life of running errands, meeting with friends and going to work, to religiously sanitizing their environment, avoiding public places like the plague and staying home asContinue reading “Another Blog About Corona”
Light Burden, Heavy Reward
When I was small, I really enjoyed “helping” my dad while he worked. I remember one day, when I was about eight years old, my dad was moving bricks from one building site to another.
