We're born
To pass through
The land
Of the unknown.
The promised land
Is our destination.
Whether we creep, walk, run or gallop,
There's only one way out.
Some people are lucky to find theirs early.
No escape... no hiding.
On. On...
We shall leave here -
One person at a time.
I heard about the death of Nikita Pearl Waligwa, a fifteen year old girl who played the role of Gloria in Disney's The Queen of Katwe. I was so downhearted and wondered why death would be so cold to a beautiful princess as her.

One thing came to mind - this earth is not our permanent home. We are just on a journey and those who find their home leave us.

Fare thee well young princess
