Welcome to Writers Space Africa (WSA)

Dear reader,

In the words of William Shakespeare; “a smile cures the wounding of a frown”. Shakespeare gives the smile metaphor as the antidote of the affronted; under this impression I would add that a smile, is a two-lane stretch, can be a voluntary or involuntary action. It can be a tool to mask or unmask a world beyond your face. It only depends which lane you walk, you don’t have to be happy to smile.

There are many reasons why we smile and there are many ways how people smile. While a smile occurs in responding to an event, stimulus or memory that registered series of happy hours. Some flashbacks are those that we look back at and smile on their perils.

In this 88th edition, we behold a delicate theme condensed with fragility and sensation. Dear reader you will realize that ‘SMILE’ is a word and concept that is pregnant with doctrines so fixed and fluid. You will learn that smiles are everywhere. You will be reminded that they are in the celestial dance of the moon, in the nurturing embrace of the earth, in the empathy of the human heart and in the divine wonder of the universe. You will finally understand that each smile is a piece of the divine, a manifestation of love and light amidst life’s intricacies.

Furthermore, one of our admired writers contends that a smile is a bonus, not a right. But if you pay a little attention to the human condition, you will know it can’t resist. Today some heroes are remembered as protagonists who lived a fable of laughter, kindness, and the power of their smiles have erected the sanctuary for the living despaired.

Wishing you a happy reading.
