Crossroads: A new book/e-book (er, sorry, "fook") of reflections and memories on the strange twists and turns that is the incredible and fascinating journey of life..."How do I live in this strange, uncertain, yet diverse and exciting place"?"How can I live in this strange,"mal, bedonderde", uncertain, yet diverse, vibrant and exciting country""Either we stayed as we were, trapped inside our fortress of paranoia, deformed by fear and greed, or we opened the door to Africa... and set forth into the unknown."- powerful writing by Rian Malan in his compelling book 'My Traitor's Heart'from Crossroads (The Choice) - a book still to be written!The Road Not TakenTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I marked the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

Dream loftydreams and as you dream so shall you become."- James Allen"No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high."- Harriet Du Autermont"Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the sea-faring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides and following them, you reach your destiny."- Carl Schurz (US General and politician (born in Germany 1829,d 1906)"Since I can never see your face,And never shake you by the hand,I send my soul through time and spaceTo greet you. You will understand."- James Elroy Flecker"Together, one mind, one heart, one life at a time, let's plant the seeds of a better and brighter future."
