The Second Conference of Intellectuals from Africa and the Diaspora (CIAD II) was opened in Salvador Bahia with a warm embrace for Brazil from diplomats, a Nobel Laureate, and international celebrities such as noted African-American authors Michael Eric Dyson and wife/reverend Marcia Dyson and their good friend the beloved African-American music artist Stevie Wonder.

"Wonder revealed to his audience that he'd lost the most important person in his life this past May 31st, his mother. His deep affection for Brazil, he suggested, had helped him deal with that loss and he made connections between the way his mother had inspired him to overcome his physical blindness and the way Brazil had helped him to see the things that are truly important in life. "
He suggested?? Think you could read anymore into that?? The love one has for a place helps heal the lost of a loved one??
Sounds like "sunshine being blowed up someone's ass" instead of in someone's life.
