Just a list of people who have inspired & enlightened me
in no particular order
vho Noria Mbasa A living legend, an artist,
a wonderful creator
of wood carvings and pottery
from the land of the vhavenda.
I only know her via some mutual friends
but mainly by her art which I look at every day
depictions and interpretations of traditional Venda life & struggle.
dedication page & pics coming soon
John
Peel
(1939-2004)
Here was a man who would not take it any more: the playlists, the smoozing, the pop.
"For 37 years, John Peel effectively ran a pirate radio station from inside BBC Radio 1."
"John Peel was one
of the greatest Englishmen to ever draw breath
words don't exist to describe how missed and irreplaceable he will be"

Carl Sagan
(1934-1996)
A multi-dimensional person, astronomer, scientist, gifted communicator
with a lot of interesting things to say, a source of immense 'cosmic' inspiration
"We
wish to find the truth, no matter where it lies.
But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both.
We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish
speculation from fact."
