The African Rains …
Soaking,
the rains settle,
meandering over jagged faultlines of our memory.
Drenching,
the rains settle,
streaming through veins,
the thud-thudding of the heartbeat of Africa.
Absorbing,
the rains that settle,
within each of us,
herald rebirth.
And,
if you listen,
if you strain to hear,
while shedding the raucous noise of your inner turmoil.
If you listen,
the whispers of the ancestors,
speak to us all,
lending us warmth,
urging us to stand,
even though we may stumble,
even though we may fall.

Thanks to you, friend, and to all – I’ve been away from our wonderful WordPress community for a while. My apologies for this “form” message to all. I shall be back soon. Warmest wishes and see you all sooner rather than later.
Once again apologies for this generic message to all friends here on WhatsApp. I shall endeavour to respond personally to all, once again, sooner rather than later.
Needless to say, all is well. The weight of work and life has me rather busy so unable to be more active on the blog.
