Support . . . so needed everywhere. It took me many years to learn that asking for help is never a weakness. Created a few years back, this mural is so relevant in a country where the current administration seems determined to set cultures and communities against each other. Artist credit Helen Bur.

Quotes can be uncertain and often credited inaccurately. The following words were supposedly said by Bruce Lee. Whoever their source they are precious:

“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”
