This is a picture of me packing.
In 24 hours I will be boarding SAA flight UA9816 non-stop to Jozi which will be a substantially shorter flight than the one that brought me here. Then I will have a 3 hour stop-over before getting on flight SAA 333 to Cape Town, due to land @ 14h10 Saturday 28th of November. At the airport will be my parents, the same people who delivered me to their doors five and a half months ago. They will load me into their car and ship me off to Jakkalsfontein on the west coast where I will spend the weekend telling tales of my travels to my family and their offspring.
On Monday I will most likely go to Stellenbosch where I will start making some clear decisions about how to re-assemble my life over the next month. On Tuesday I have a dental appointment in town. By Wednesday it will feel like none of this ever happened, like no time has passed at all, and I'll wonder what's happening at the places I've visited in America, and if I've left any mark whatsoever.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Koekie!!!!

ReplyDeleteIf a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? ... we could argue over this for a long time ...
ReplyDeleteBUT ...
If Alice blogs her heart and soul for the world to hear, the echoes will reverberate in the hearts of her readers until they become part of many, many heartbeats.
No question, you have left your mark.
Thanks, and good luck on your continued adventures.

Marfa is nog in die middel van iewers en daar.
ReplyDeleteDit was vir ons 'n heerlike plesier om jou te leer ken en ja ons hoor die boom val.
Ek en Glen is baie jaloers dat jy daar in die mooiste land is en ons hier. Dinsdag sal dit weer sneeu.
Geniet die tuiskoms en al die vriende en famielie en onthou, jy het nuwe vriende hier in die vere. Ons sal jou opsoek as ons eendag weer in Kaapstad land.
Sien jou binnekort
Leana
Thanks Julie, Wanda and Leana. It means sooo much to me that you were there with me. It means the world in fact.
