Life Made Simple

Sao Tome, Sao Tome and Principe

The simple life. Life is who you are, what you create, what you become. Life is creativity, what you live and how you present it. It is what you dance to, what makes you, what makes scream the most. It is not about what you can’t have but what you don’t have. It doesn’t take much to make a kid happy, all he/she needs is a toy and if you don’t have one, you create one. You make one out whatever you can find and then zig zag through the hood. It is life, it is what drives you, what becomes you, what makes you happy, a toy made of wire and wood. This beautiful expression of “leve leve”, meaning slow, unhurried definition of an happy and simple childhood emblemises the islands of Sao Tome and Principe in Africa. Yes, life made simple.

The River Runs Through It

Lyon, France

Could not asked for better sky while cruising rivers, Saone and Rhone in Lyon, France. Rumor has it aka, it is true, the Rhone river really runs through Lyon dividing the city into two converging later with Saone river forming a peninsula. It was interesting to witness it. Funny, soon you can’t tell which river is which.
