About Me:
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.
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 my native county (South Africa) 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. 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, indeed” (to quote Alice). The people I had 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!
