As I was out the other day, I stumbled upon a bike boldly labeled “Desert Is Not Die" - a literal translation of the Chichewa proverb "Mchipululu simofela." It stopped me in my tracks, not just because of the creative English twist, but because of the profound truth it carries.
Life often feels like a desert—a place of scorching challenges, scarcity, and seemingly endless struggles. But just like this bike's message, it’s a reminder that the desert is not the end. Survival, resilience, and hope thrive in the most unexpected places.
Perhaps the owner of this bike wanted to say: “Keep going, even when the path is dry and tough." Or maybe they just wanted to make us laugh while still getting the point across! Either way, it’s a message we all need.
No matter where you are or how hard it gets, remember this: Deserts may be tough, but they are not where we end. Stay creative, stay hopeful, and keep pedaling forward.
