Starting out on a journey...

 My excitement is currently casing my mind to implode. why you may ask. it is actually rather simple! i am going on a backpacking tour of my favourite city ever. my hometown Jozi!!!

the plan is to go backpacking through the city, contrasting the horrendously poor slums with the sometimes disturbingly rich areas. but that is not just the point. it is a pilgrims walk over easter. a way to connect with yourself and a higher spiritual power. the point of the pilgrimage is to be a:
pilgrim, not a tourist.
learner, not a teacher.
listener, not a talker.
and a receiver not a giver.

as per usual we have to abide by a set of ruls:
don't complain.
if someone asks, give
if someone gives, receive
if you see a toilet use it (get rid of your physical, mental and emotional waste)
SLOW DOWN!!

i'm totally going to lose it with the last one. i rush everywhere. someone save me :)



And so with the words of one of my favourite songs i begin my journey...

life is a road that I want to keep going
Love is a river, I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you!!!!!


peace peeps ^_^
