My Country

Thank You
I am so grateful for what my country has to teach me.  I know that I chose to be here in South Africa and every day I am so humbled by what an amazing country it is, with such a diverse culture and mixture of people.  If we could only all see the good in our surroundings and what each moment has to offer for our growth.  If we could all give love and thanks to that moment.  If we could all realise that all these different aspects are needed by us for us to grow.

Our earth was here long before us, and will be here long after we have gone. The mountains, the sea, the wild life all have their own way of survival, as do we humans - and if we could all live together respecting the differences, but understanding that we need each other, we would all feel the freedom meant for us.

Giraffes crossing the road, these are not scenes that you would see everywhere in the world, these are uniquely South African scenes, and they are what humbles me and makes me grateful to be living in such an amazing country.

  1. Namaste my sister, living here in Canada, S.A. seems so far. When I was 30 I decided to make the trip. I packed a bicycle and flew to Britain then slowly rode my way to the Cape. After 8 months, many trials and tribulations I found myself unconscious in a Congolese ditch struggling to survive.

    I made it as far as Kenya before I ran out of luck, health and money. My consulate aided in my return home everyone thought I was lucky to survive and that I should leave Africa to the natives.

    20 years later I still hunger for the Cape, maybe my sister one day I will visit you. I wrote a blog which you may find a very interesting African story "Africa a Testament to Survival and Love"
