Contemplating the Mundane

I’ve just returned from a most awesome trip.

My paradigms have been shifted, my focus changed, my horizons broadened, my life enriched.

For a solid week, I was engulfed with pristine happiness.

Here’s my new perception:

It is time for me, not to be fearless, but just to fear less.
Embrace the life and times given. Make the best of every situation. Take the good with the bad, make that lemonade, and wait for deliverance, but enjoy the present.

Chuck off the “drag queen” status.
Negativity attracts negativity. It’s a cycle. I don’t want to become a Cyclic redundancy error.

Learn more, dare more, be more, take charge.

And on new experiences;

I tried sake for the first time ever, at a Japanese restaurant. It is something everyone should try at least once. A clear liquid, served hot. It’s like tea, but with a bit of a kick. I had 2 tots, I believe. And I think sake, as with raw fish, will grow on me eventually.

I recommend taking a walk in the picturesque lanes of Stellenbosch. It is beautifully fragrant this time of year. Also, the days are longer there. Twilight meanders it’s way through the trees and ancient buildings, fading into darkness sluggishly.

I can’t wait to make it my home.
