A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Sheldon Blackman. This verse from Psalm 19 comes to mind:  "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer."

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
