An African Tale: "We've come a long way, many roads, many miles travelled. Triumphed, failed, explored and marvelled, Wonders of Nature's Mother, Her burdens carried, Her offerings tasted in such abundance, almost drying Her eyes, meant to weep. Tampered-with Traditions and Contemporary Cultures have altered our thens to nows, naturally leaving her composition changed. Change is good. Change is inevitable. Change creates change. An author can change a dark novel into enlightening words meant for change. Added brush strokes of vibrant colour to canvas, can do the same. What we do with our words and our colour is ours entirely. Seconds fly, time passes by and in return we do the same. Moments lost or captured will never resurface perfectly again, they are also interpreted in a different light individually. Once again a choice is laid out before us, to pass by or to hold, within our minds that moment as we saw it, forever. Whether accepting small change from a fruit stall in Thohoyandou, or passing by the bead lady, or giving sweets to the too-afraid-to-ask child in the homeland. Admiring the East Coast fisherman providing for his family & friends or the mollusc-filled basket bags, collected by the women for boiling. Whether acknowledging the boy's grasshopper playmate for what it is or to step back & shriek is entirely ours to do. To share with you these moments and more are interpretations of interactive glances, smiles and frowns, each one enfolding an African Tale of their own, today." - Camdon Juby
