Have you ever sat in the quiet of the night, asking yourself questions about life, death, and everything in between?
In Africa, our ancestors believed that nightfall was when the spirits of the land spoke, whispering ancient wisdom into the ears of those who dared to listen. The red glow of a fire or lamp, much like the one in this room, was where many found their answers sometimes in the quiet pages of a book, other times in the soft beating of their hearts.
We often forget to ask ourselves the big questions in the rush of life, but moments like this, when the world is still, remind us of the depth of our thoughts. Here, under the red light, you find yourself seeking, reflecting, and embracing the silence. Life and death are two sides of the same coin; one cannot exist without the other. But in between them lies the truth of who you are.
So, have you ever sat to ask yourself: who am I, why am I here, and what legacy will I leave behind?
