Orange,
Grapefruit,
Lemon...
Spring calls forth the budding flowers.

A reminder to start blossoming from the light within.

And to keep watering!

For without the blessings of the elements, that delicate bud will just become a memory of an opportunity left to whither away.

Call out to artists and crafters

Will you be part of this event whose purpose it is to help artists and crafters show and sell their work with no costs involved?
Space is free of charge (not even commisions are taken); you only have to bring your display table, shade and chair, etc.
If you have no umbrella or gazebo, no worries! There are some areas that have trees and netting for shade.
Watercolour artists can have a small space in the open Hall, so their work is not greeted by sun or wind 🙂.

The Land in Mokatse is just 30kms out of Gaborone, and is a rustic space where nature and simplicity conjoin to create a peaceful and restful place.

Come and support this event and take pleasure in a fun and creative day.

The sun shines like any other moment, today.

There, far out in the depth of the emptiness and fullness of space, the sun shines.

That is what our sun does, it shines. Regardless of what happens around it, it shines.

And here on earth, its rays will light up the shortest day, and it will light up the longest day.

And regardless of the length of shadows that face the sun, or the darkness of night that turns away from it, the sun still shines.

Because that is what our sun does best, it shines.

Who are we?

Are we also like the sun?

Shining our own unique light because that is what we do best?

Regardless of the shadows that follow our footsteps, regardless of the cold winter night that stretches its fingers to us even when dawn seems imminent, regardless of the heat of a long day that burned a dream . . . do we still shine?

Here, right in the depth of the fullness and emptiness of life on earth, do we just shine?
