Africa

Somebody in my family has just died. So the whole family including my cousin Matthew decides to go to Africa, south Africa I think. I remember looking down from the plane and thinking how beuatiful it was. Now we are on the ground, in some kind of hospital. There are three guys trying to get me to take a tour - something tells me they are overpriced vultures. I go outside...

I am standing at a railing above some land and water, taking it all in. There is lighting in the sky like I've never seen before in my whole life. Like its alive. The whole landscape is alive and vibrant in a way that is primordial - making all other lands seem like amateur paintings. I keep thinking to myself that this is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The rain is coming, so I am able to give the tourguides the cold shoulder. I just keep standing at the balcony looking across the landscape, great big red sun setting, thinks getting darker, lighting and clouds dancing.
