I want to tell you I feel incredibly connected to you, my main. We must be soul mates or something. Reading you often feels like reading myself.

@thatdudeyouknow – Thank boet. It was one of those that never got posted. The problem with these type of posts is that each paragraph captures something I want to write. But once it is in a paragraph I feel like I am cheating if I do a whole post on one.

@Toaf – Yes. Too many things. I don’t have the ability to just do one thing. But man, when you write… It comes from a great way of looking at what is around you.

@scienkoptic – Yeah! I want to stay away for a while, but keep on looking. I am pathetic!

@Michelle – Thanks for that post! I wanna go there! I know I miss home. weird thing is that I don’t know what I miss from home. I just miss home. (I’m a Province guy. Sad, but true…)

@Amber – Thank you! It’s weird, I feel loved but empty as well. But recharging…

@vanessaleighsblog – Thank you! The passion is alive. Just in retreat right now…

AA, this made me cry… I feel your longing. I don’t even know you, but I know that feeling of being disconnected from who and what you are. You are African. The soil and the rains and and the mountains and the deserts and the bushveld are calling to you and you to them, but KNOW that they are IN you. All you have to do is close your eyes and the spirit of Africa will find you and she will comfort you. She lives inside you.

Sitting in my little corner of the world, with the soft rain falling outside my window, I wish that I could cross the distance and give you a great big African hug. Instead, I will wipe the tears from my eyes and pour a scotch (it’s Friday afternoon after all) and toast you. Vasbyt boet!

PS. It’s the currie cup final tomorrow, Sharks vs Bulls, I’ll drink to you again while we watch.
