Almost on my way back to the United Kingdom, I find myself at the southern tip of South Africa in a town called Mossel Bay, ovelooking a calm and misty blue ocean. It is truly beautiful here: in front of me the ocean washing over miles of sandy beach, and behind me undulating grass fields ending in the Outaniqua mountains in the purple hazy distance.
It has been quite a journey: starting in Johannesburg, driving all the way down through my childhood town of Potchefstroom to the city of Bloemfontein ('flower fountain'), through the arid Karoo and ending it here at the southertn tip of Mossel Bay in the Cape province. It is a landscape that cannot be erased from one's mind - the characteristic red soil, the yellow grasslands, purple mountains and sapphire blue skies - simply breathtaking.
I so hope and wish that the troubles of this paradise will deminish, so that more people can be touched by it's splendour.
Who knows, maybe if we all focus our hearts and minds on the possibility of Utopia on this beautiful planet of ours - we could succeed. After all - there is such phenomena as the Uncertainty Principle and the Observer Effect, which together could change our world with the right intent...
