This morning I woke up in a frenzy. I heard my alarm, and it startled me! All I saw was bright light and I didn’t know where I was. Then my vision cleared and I realized that I was in the second floor room of my grandparents house. I agreed to go into town with my grandfather after discovering he needs a new part for his stove yesterday. I was given strict instructions...
Amsterdam
First leg of the trip done.
Amsterdam has got to be one of the prettiest cities in the world. So many waterways, so clean, so ehhhh awesome.
Also, it’s amazing how much Dutch I understand. It’s kinda scary. I look around and I can understand everything.
Newsflash
20 hours from now I will take flight back to South Africa. An upgrade to first class across the board, already turning into a pleasant trip. But to be honest I’d take a horse and donkey to see my family again. We have ALL been through so much this year. I know we all have families, I know we all have family issues. Watch me practice perfect oblivion, and pursue Blinding love.

He felt dead inside.
No matter how hard he tried, he could never escape that simple fact- inside, dead.
And that was his life.
Running from a feeling.
At least until he could run no more.
Exhausted, spent, and beaten, when the end finally came he welcomed it.
With life ebbing from his wasted body, he was suddenly swept up in a transcendent state of joy that was pure and complete.
Moments later...

The Garden
Peace, joy, happiness, success, love…
none are born out of perfection, but blossom through the growth.
Clouds hover, the grounds get wet, muddy petals reach to an opening sky,
and oh, the bloom…
the beautiful messy, messy, struggling, stretching, courageous, glorious bloom of our imperfect lives.
Welcome to the garden.

An Invitation To The Deepest Depths.
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you...

Venni, Vetti, Vecci.
Random Mumblings about one of my favorite quotes. “I came, I saw, I conquered.”
Venni, Vetti, Vecci.
I arrived, it was all that was asked of me up until that point; just to show up. It wasn’t difficult, but it was a blessing nonetheless, because even waking up in the morning is a blessing worth being thankful for. So there I was, present.
I surveyed the day, i imagined it in...

Why I Miss My Mother.
The phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder” is one of those phrases that makes sense only in a particular context. Its greatest educational asset in teaching us its most profound lesson lies in its timing. That is to say that by the time you learn its truth, there isn’t anything you can do about it.
I miss my mother, she is one of my pillars. My inner structure feels...
Chaos Theory
A summary of all the things that flow through my mind at any given moment would look like a chaotic mess. There would be no obvious rhyme or reason, not to you at least. You see, it only makes sense to me.
“Is it possible for chaos to make sense?” you ask. “Isn’t chaos by nature impregnable by organization?” you insist.
In theory that is true, but we all know its...
Solace optional
There is something about days like this. It feels like a rumble in my soul, a quiet but noticeable jitter within. It feels like something is coming down the pipeline, and the only thing I can tell definitively is that it wont be good. Where does it come from? it comes from a place I cant identify. That place is the source of much introspection, but I cant tell exactly where it resides. I dont...
