Ranpono has begun! Laborers, let’s put our hands together, Let’s join together, The work has begun! Little by little, the bird makes its nest. My brothers, my sisters, Join together, let’s move forward! Heads together, in harmony, We will come to see the navel of an ant. With perseverance, we will see the navel of an ant. The load that you bear on your head falls on your shoulders. Little by little, the bird makes its nets. [ Yele maoulo! ] Wasting time is not part of the game. We must work today to harvest tomorrow. Work is over! The sun is setting, The workers are dismissed, A job well done. Ranpono brings life. Truly indeed...    less

Guillaume --Nou Se Limyè-- (We Are The Light) Children of light, do not stay in the dark; Truth and Love are stronger than the law. From the beginning of time the word was spoken: Darkness and evil had invaded the earth; Everything was functioning in reverse. The Lord decided to put order in disorder. "The Lord said, let there be light: and there was light" Light in the universe, light in the depths of our hearts. So many good things in the beautiful flame of this light: Awareness, development, Understanding and compassion, Truth and dignity, Wisdom and justice, Liberty and hope, Love and happiness. Children of light, do not stay in the dark. We must shine for all the earth. We must shine in all darkness. We must shine, we ...    less

One of the best WhatsApp messages I received!! "The Secret of Life" by Santiago Veros Lyrics by Matthew Silver Lyrics: Enjoy, enjoy a little more. Live in the moment. Don't get old. Don't judge people. Because you can't be free if you judge people. To live and to live in a mystery and to find purpose and to live in the now. the magic is now! Enjoy, enjoy a little more Live in the moment. you can't get away from your heart. because life is a paradox, It is a mirror of confusion So love now! I Love all of you.  less
