A new rhythm

I realise how for most of us our days are extraordinarily busy and filled with noise and activity and an expected daily rhythm… so it is a peculiar process to just be and allow a different rhythm to emerge… and I have to catch myself worrying about my future and my professional life so that the time here doesn’t dissipate… my drama queen wants to come out and play often… I have to keep her and her tiara in check… And then as if to pacify me there is the view from my desk… one side is Table Mountain and the other Lion’s Head… I had coffee with an ex-work colleague from Joburg yesterday who took one look at me and proclaimed… “You can take the girl out of Cape Town but you can’t take CT out of the girl”… I think this meant I am looking like an ageing hippy in just 10 days!
