Pearls

I'm lying here in bed, not quite ready to drift off. So I pick up my phone to check the news and find this story about the soaring price of rice.

And by chance, my favorite Sade song is playing on my iPod, "Pearls":

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive

There is an ill wind blowing in the world today...
