I Visited the Zulu tribe (as well as others) about 9 months ago on my trip to South Africa, it was a beautiful experience, I learned about their homes, their way of life, their culture, their compassion. Today I found this Photo of a Zulu child her blind 100 year old grandmother and I was very moved. WORDS FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER: The child appeared to feel safe and secure at the cheek of her blind 100 year old gogo (grandmother). A week after the photo was taken her gogo passed away. This picture inspired me to write the following line “What remains of you once you are gone? Nothing but the loveyou have broadcast.”

I Visited the Zulu tribe (as well as others) about 9 months ago on my trip to South Africa, it was a beautiful experience, I learned about their homes, their way of life, their culture, their compassion.

Today I found this Photo of a Zulu child her blind 100 year old grandmother and I was very moved.

WORDS FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER:

The child appeared to feel safe and secure at the cheek of her blind 100 year old gogo (grandmother). A week after the photo was taken her gogo passed away.
This picture inspired me to write the following line
“What remains of you
once you are gone?
Nothing but the love
you have broadcast.”

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up becuase if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” ― Marilyn Monroe
