Having tired of my previous profile page, I have restyled it… injected it with some current affairs, thrown out some thin clothes (and fat clothes) and decided to paint one of its walls a ‘daring' colour.   It's all part of my (r)evolution you see.   I have been dreaming differently.   I used to dream of the past and even the future… looking upon it as a photo album of ‘future' memories.   Now living has become the action and not the goal.  

Serrated winds rage through the country uncharacteristically right now.   Winter here has always been dry and cold, but never very windy.   Jo'burg winters are about stark blue skies, blinding sunlight and freezing nights.  

Contradictions pervade politics and the rat race has everybody competing for all the resources at exactly the same time every day.   We live expecting power failures at peak hours.   As my life changes its course and adopts a more realistic pace I marvel at the neglect I have practiced unintentionally.   Misdirected attentions moulded my life into that which did not fulfil me.

I am:
- A South African… female… educated (I think)… opinionated… emancipated… satiated…
- In love with: bold speeches; kindred conversations over coffee; singing in the bath and 3am journal entries…  
- Determined to make a positive contribution to a county of which its own speak as most women speak of their bodies: as something with endless flaws and the need for reconstitution.   

South Africans are living inside a miracle of human proportions i.e. of their own making.   A 'miracle' with the capacity to spiral across the continent if all within it saw the potential to make a positive contribution toward the whole from within their own sphere of influence.  

I am still trying to identify my sphere of influence.   It is not where I thought it would be.   How very curious (to quote Alice).   The people I expected would be there aren't.   The infrastructures I thought I would inhabit, I don't.   It's all quite puzzling.  

I have gone from being resigned to resigning.   I thought I might feel somewhat destructive in the process, but the bulldozer only moved in to make way for something new and I am enjoying the construction phase.   Welcome to my profile page.  

I hope we can be friends:)   Namaste!
