The last month has begun and every single muscle refuses to leave or at least to prepare for the long journey home. However, I and every single muscle of my body know that there is no way out. Well then, soon it will be for old long since and Cheerio. What I have experienced in these six months here in South Africa can not be replaced by anything imaginable. The friendships that have been made will last until I’m old and grey and because of age related dementia unable to recognize those who got hold of a place in my heart. If it was possible to start all over from day one, I would do everything the same just as I did before. I might take care that two or three slips never even happened, but in the main I would not change any of my decisions. Back in Germany I will try to make the dull everyday life, which most probably will catch up with me much sooner then I’d like to, more endurable with the help of all the beautiful memories, which I was allowed to collect. Even if it will be good for me to see old friends, family and surroundings of my childhood and adolescence, one part of me will be bound, for all time, to this wondrous country.

ReplyDeleteThanks all the people who went along with you.
Hey big man, your last posting was filled with such emotion. I'll say it again, you need to consider being a writer ! You have a style that captures one's attention and holds it. You should give it some thought. =)
