Inspiring Quotes for Monday, April 7, 2025

If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.In the tradition of the Igbo people, an ethnic group in southern Nigeria, the mask, or masquerade, is a sacred ritual involving theater, dance, and costumes, representing spiritual and tribal elements of the culture. Nigerian author Chinua Achebe references this Igbo tradition in his 1988 book ¡°Arrow of God,¡± emphasizing that if we want to experience all of the beautiful dynamics the world has to offer, we have to dance along with it.
