Which was me and which was mine? We become what we eat. Dance to the music of time. The music becomes the dance. Much to chew on there Gordon, thank you. 🙏
I am so 'with you' on this concept Gordon. We come from similar cultures and what you've described about your family seems so close to my own. The only time I feel a little proud to be South African is when the Boks beat the shit out of the All Blacks, the British Lions or Wallabies. Which counts for f*&k-all really. The new South Africa with its rampant corruption is almost as disappointing as the old and it needn't be so. I am not surprised that my Hare Krishna mate sees the necessity to morph himself and his entire life into something weird and different and indeed pretty basic with very little comfort. I couldn't do it myself because he's just so strange and he has other problems in his life that I could not tolerate. This is why I enjoy watching Ben Fogle's 'Where the wild men are.' I reckon we all need our own space, boundaries and challenges. Maybe Alaska is the answer? My mate from schooldays managed to import a banned seven single and the words are still fresh in my mind. 'What we need is a great big melting pot, big enough to take the world and all its got, keep it stirring for a hundred years or more, turn out coffee coloured people by the score.' Maybe that's the answer??!

Thanks, Rob. I love that thing. Very cool.
