From tomorrow onwards, be a happy man
Feeding horses, chopping wood, travelling the world.
From tomorrow, care for food and vegetables
I have a house facing the sea, where flowers bloom in spring.
From tomorrow on, I'll correspond with all my relatives.
I'll tell them how happy I am.
What the lightning of happiness told me
I will tell everyone
Give every river and every mountain a warm name
Stranger, my blessings to you too
May you have a bright future.
May you be blessed with lovers
May you have happiness on earth
I only wish to face the sea and blossom in spring
About the Creator
free man
Thank you for your love
I hope you are happy every day
Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.

"I only wish to face the sea and blossom in spring" Well-wrought! Namaste! I must add this to my CREATION MYTH! https://vocal.media/poets/creation-myth-m8dm0x8d
