Worth A Thousand Words

This is a photo of an indigenous African musical instrument. I love it because it tells a million stories. Imagine how many songs were played on it, how many fingers touched it, and what those hands did besides play music. Imagine what the eyes of the musician saw in his lifetime and whether that affected his music.

Here's another picture that makes me smile:
I will never think about Napoleon again without picturing how he looks as a black man!
