This last week has been manic. Some huge fights but mostly huge fun. I have managed to catch up with so many people and also make some pretty important life changing decisions.
During my travels over the last week I was dozing off on a flight when suddenly I woke up with a start. It was my own little epiphany. I registered something deep down inside. Something that has been manifesting for some time and something that I have even spoken about more and more recently but not truly understanding it. What I came to see clear as day was the realization that for the past 6 or so years, the only real peace I have found is when I am asleep on an airplane. My phone is switched off, there is no-one to fight with, no real stress (unless there is a screaming child but you cant have it all now can you?) and my life is in someone else’s hands to get me somewhere safely.
I am alienating everything on the ground. This must change. This will change. Soon. Watch this space.
This has been a wonderful trip. I managed to get so much accomplished. I got to walk my Magic Bean down the isle, I got to catch up with good friends, I got to renew my pilot’s license, I got to see my folks in Durban and most importantly somewhere along the way I managed to see a new route for my life and I am very excited about it.
For the mean time, I am back to my life of travel again tonight. I fly to London for the sole purpose of submitting my passport for a visa in the Angolan Embassy. I will stay in London for 5 days and then fly back to Luanda next week Friday via Lisbon. Then things will start to change. I need to plan carefully. God I am so excited about this.
Opportunity Opportunity!
