“Like you, we all gather regularly to hail our King… it is a congregation of the elements filled with awe, humility and submission… And we are blessed with Light to help us to determine right from wrong, and we are blessed with Peace to allow us to fulfil our duties happily, and we are blessed with His Presence and then nothing else matters! – Majestic Sunset off the western coast of Mauritius

“The doorway of mercy exhorts you to look upwards… perhaps to the heavens in search of spiritual succour and benediction… however, it is incomplete without the need to look ‘sideways’ – all around you – in search of people to forgive and to be compassionate towards so that there is festive cheer all around!” – Door at La Cathédrale, Port Louis, Mauritius

“As I go about my daily play, isn’t it liberating for you to stop by and observe my way of life? As you go about your daily life, I find it liberating to stop by and watch you play too… If separate species can afford this respect to one another, why can’t human races, cultures and religions do the same? – Curious spider in the car, Mauritius
“I hear He is coming… He is coming indeed… Oh what a sweet vigil it is to keep a look out for His arrival… A labour of love indeed! And when He is here, I will purr with pleasure…” – Anticipating cat at Gold Coast, Flic en Flac, Mauritius
