Faceless

In Amma Darko´s «Beyond the horizon», «The Housemaid» and especially «Faceless», there is a wake-up call to us as Grandmothers/Grandfathers, as Mothers, but especially as Fathers. It is not enough to sow the seeds of human life in quick, repeated sessions of reckless ectasy. Beyond the delight of tears, beyond the passionate intensity of countless orgasms, the future of our children, of our own morality and ancestry awaits our constant vigilance and careful nurturing. No seed grows into harvest joys without the planter´s diligent labour of love.
