RE: Into the Desert

in #afrikaburnlast year

I can certainly see how the unwell factor could influence the perspective of time. Being present is important. So is being happy or at least content in the present. I hope you find balance soon.

I do my best to follow my own version or YOLO... YORTL. You only remember this life. Changes up my perspective of time a bit. A little less final and urgent than you only live once but still encourages exploration and adventure for me.

(YOLO always makes me think of a bunch of college kids shouting Yolo! and snorting a bunch of cocaine before hitting the clubs.)

Sort:  

😆 Well snorting Coke and hitting a club is a surefire way to avoid yhe present!

Yolo. I like that.

I don't believe you only live once anymore. Maybe only once as the you that you are here and now. Yolo makes sense 👍🏼

Thinking of maybe a silly tattoo of a YORTL the Turtle on wheels. Tiny. And orange. Like my landship...

Are you moving to Thula Thula yet???? lol

You know what Thula Thula means, right?

In South Africa.

I only thought of this yesterday and meant to let you know.

Not yet. I took that as sage advice from the universe of amazing synchronity

In the book it mentioned something I think like quietly in Zulu?

I can't remember what we were talking about in regards to boys being aggressive, but yeah, they definitely can be. Especially in the peak prime testosterone pumping stage. Were we talking about crows? About Bo being a greedy bastard when it comes to sharing food with his wife? He's young. Pretty much a boy compared to his mellow dad, who's probably at least a decade old.

Bo? What do?!

That was sexist if me. OOPS.

SOME boys.

But yeah... some boys and their fucking wallets for sure.

I blame Capitalism. Of course!

Zulu yes.

I thought it meant "Hush".

But it's more like "peace".

Very beautiful lullaby that is very well known out here.

Thula, thula abantwana ❤️

Ahh, sweet lullabies. I could use some of those lately.

Hmmmm... TRE.

I know it. I've used it. And now I forget to use it. It puts me to sleep super fast though. 👍🏼

Hope you got some rest 🪷

But it's on my radar for sure!

I bet it's safe and warm. And peaceful. 🪷

Boys can be so aggressive 🙄
