a well of words (madnessthe-spur) original

Sisters dwell unearthly hell spellbound fell into a well, of words concentrated on connection down there an angel appeared with a rope in hand, she lifted me just by the sight of herself, pulled myself up, cold, shaking and in love, her wings spread once I reached the top, I said how'd you now that I was down there, how'd you know that I was lost, said nothing, handed me a coin than she flew away, and I followed her the best that I could, as if the mundane hallowness of my heart was worth her time, I figured she could help me change, forty miles into the forrest she turned into a microscopic dot in the sky and I praised her master with a sense of awe and remourse, twelve years later I met a woman who identified as this angel, though she hadn't no wings I noticed her from across the street, walked towards her three inches away from her face she was a stranger in life of what I take, excuse me can I help you with anything? It wasn't her so I walked away, the next two years were difficult a friend of mine introduced me to music twelve days after that I've been rhyming ever since, the brick missed my rant he tried to introduce me to a woman he knew, I said I can't faint hearted the lyrical muses who dance, theres not many of those out there Im so dirty Im so ugly I need to change my pants, the old switchroo the who, line is it, anyways.

TEDxBayArea - Thor Muller - How to Make Serendipity Work For You and Your Business

Regardless of our best-laid plans, it's often the ideas and events that we least expect that end up mattering to us most. This has never been truer than in today's chaotic, highly uncertain world. Serendipity—looking for one thing and finding another—is consequentially the root of much discovery in business, science, and the arts. Harnessing serendipity means being willing to follow unplanned paths when they emerge, yet by succumbing to opportunism we risk undermining all the work that got us to that point. This challenging paradox — how can we stay the course and also take new directions at the same time? — paralyzes most organizations as they grow beyond the nimble startup stage. The solution, as demonstrated by businesses as diverse as Foursquare, In-N-Out Burger and the TED conference, is to stop seeing these contrasting skills Nof divergence and commitment as opposites, and instead marry them together. Being rooted to an overriding purpose is the only meaningful way we to decide which of our many possible paths are the right ones to take. The interaction between these seeming opposing approaches leads directly to the best kind of luck: When we are fully committed to something we serendipitously run into new directions that fall along our path, and recognize opportunities uniquely suited to us, even as others miss them completely. Thor Muller is coauthor with Lane Becker of Get Lucky: How to Put Planned Serendipity to Work for You and Your Business (Jossey-Bass ...

Hunger, malnutrition threaten Africa's economic gains, UN development agency warns

United Nations, 15 May 2012 - Sub-Saharan Africa cannot sustain its present economic growth unless it eliminates the hunger that is affecting almost a quarter of its people, according to a new United Nations report launched today, which calls for new approaches to empower local communities to ensure food security in the region."Impressive GDP growth rates in Africa have not translated into the elimination of hunger and malnutrition," said the Administrator of the UN Development Programme (UNDP ), Helen Clark, at the launch of the report today in Nairobi. "Inclusive growth and people-centred approaches to food security are needed." UNDP Africa Human Development Report 2012 Website: www.afhdr.org Full story: www.un.org =

African Human Development Report 2012

Sub-Saharan Africa cannot sustain its present economic resurgence unless it eliminates the hunger that affects nearly a quarter of its people, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) argues in the newly released Africa Human Development Report 2012: Towards a Food Secure Future. "Impressive GDP growth rates in Africa have not translated into the elimination of hunger and malnutrition. Inclusive growth and people-centred approaches to food security are needed," said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark at the launch today, attended by Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki. Arguing that action focused on agriculture alone will not end food insecurity either, the Report calls for new approaches covering multiple sectors; from rural infrastructure to health services, to new forms of social protection and empowering local communities. Ensuring that the poor and vulnerable have greater voice through strengthened local government and civil society groups is also needed to ensure food security for all. The quickening pace of change and new economic vitality on the continent make this an opportune time for action, the Report says. "It is a harsh paradox that in a world of food surpluses, hunger and malnutrition remain pervasive on a continent with ample agricultural endowments," says Tegegnework Gettu, Director of UNDP's Africa Bureau.
