My South African Experience...

So... I'm back in SA now- been here two weeks and I feel fortunate that I just fell back into the life I had one year ago! I still have my routine of Yoga and Meditation, friends and clients- though much has changed! EVERYTHING CHANGES- that much we can rely on, & some familiarity is also good... The smell on the Spring blossoms and air after it rains, the BIIIIG sky and awesome sun-sets and the happy, open faces of the Petrol attendants, waiters and Car-guards I meet :-) On the change side- things are much more expensive that I thought and the recession seems to have hit South Africa- I feel this is a good thing though, as we are forced to really prioritize, down-size and consolidate! The bigger- better- best attitude of the past must go and I pray that more South Africans realise the BEAUTY in Simplicity... I guess traveling with do that!!

Jean and I went to Earth Dance- on a rural farm, 1 hour from JHB... There we danced bare-food, shared experiences by the fire (just like when we met ;-) & enjoyed the South African surroundings and nature! It was wonderful to see old friends and hear about their happenings, growths and changes... Next stop Cape Town- to connect with friends and nature there!!!
