Real-ize that the we Are All the same

one family of Beings of same name

discard shackles of divide

and disempowerment behind which we cannot hide

Love comprehended and Shared for Free

will ultimately Empower thee

Re-store the Connection that Humanity can achieve

tapestries of Wonder & Peace to weave

on 19th of July 2012, a "Work Day" organised by AFRICA FOOD FOR THOUGHT,
FLYING CHILDREN and EMERALD RISK COVER

SUP was sub-contracted to assist with the renovation work at the 2 kindergartens we worked on.

On 11/12/13 I got news from a mutual facebook friend that Joseph had passed away.  Going through old correspondence, it was at the end of October 2013 that he said "..The thing that has been ailing me is a lump under my left jaw. Started off small a few months ago but has since grown quite unmistakably, buldging the side of my neck. Stiff too. Been told it could be AIDS, blocked lymph nodes, TB, lymphoma cancer and, more recently, a witchfraft curse..... Going to Johannesburg General hospital this morning for a more accurate assessment as even the sonar scan was still not conclusive.. ..(after a laborious days' work)..Anyway, most of my body is very sore and stiff; just turning in bed is a mission Mel.."

...gosh, I am still at such a loss for words.  I just can't believe his life ended so swiftly so young.  It's just so unfair!!!  Though I never knew him personally, we had a good online connection and quite a few common online friends.  He was such an inspiration to so many ! May His Good Works Live for ev'r on ..¸.•*¨`*•~♪♫•*¨✿~♡*❥
