My last night in South Africa has finally dawned upon me. Two years in the planning and it will all materialise very soon.I feel excited yet simultaneously apprehensive and nervous. I guess a little bit of fear is always healthy. I have packed and unpacked my bag several times,each time contemplating whether I have forgotten something. I guess I should just follow the travel philosophy and loosen up: passport check, credit card check, flight ticket check....SORTED!!! I can barely sleep with all these overwhelming emotions flowing though me. I will miss you South Africa. I will miss you my friends and family.
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,
Listening to others, considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
- WALT WHITMAN, SONG OF THE OPEN ROAD
