Vision
"...they are so real it is hard to let them go..."
I am a living vision,
And I can't get out of it.
What I see races by,
Like the blur of a scene from the passenger seat.
They say life is precious,
But I am still searching for that spark.
I see things,
And create them.
I hear things,
And listen.
I feel things,
And live them.
Sometimes,
They are simply existence.
Other days,
They are so real that it gets hard to kiss them goodbye.
I am a living vision.
I found my moon,
When I lost my Sun.
I found my place in the stars.
They dance in my hands and play in my hair.
Some days,
They are just that.
Other times,
They get so real that it is hard to let them go.
I am a living vision,
And I can't get out of it.
My world is flying by,
Because I never treated it right.
They say life is precious,
But I am still searching for that spark.
I see things,
And create them.
I feel things,
And live them.
So, I become a living vision.

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back
Don’t let fear of the unknown hold you back from love. The chance to meet someone who truly sets your soul alight is a precious gift. Not everyone gets to experience that kind of connection, so when it finds you, cherish it. Some believe that the connections we forge in past lives influence our present. Perhaps those unfulfilled bonds lead us to new love in this life, offering a chance to rewrite a story that ended too soon.

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.
