Anywhere...

I'm writing this from a tour bus in the Middle Atlas (Middle Earth...snicker snicker) in Morocco. It'll only be posted when I hit civilisation again. For the first time in what feels like years (in actual fact it IS years) I am completely disconnected from everything and everyone other than the SEVENTEEN people sitting on this bus and the vast sun kissed African landscape that spans as far as the eye can see. My eyes are playing tennis, left right, left right, don't miss a thing Amber.


I sat with a friend the other day and we discussed why on earth Africa is engrained in our souls. Is it the infectious personality of the people, the sheer beauty of the land or the potential to do good that has us captivated? 

However, jaded by life in London and the idea of earning money to support myself (cause no one else will) I've lost a bit of my sense of adventure and the desire to make this life count for something. BUT it takes just SEVENTY TWO hours and I am more convinced now than ever before that I am gonna have to make a move if there is any hope to find purpose. 

"If you could go anywhere, anywhere what would you see. Take a step in any direction, just make believe. If your mind is always moving, hard to get your heart up off the ground. Yeah your mind was always moving, while your thoughts never made a sound..."

My thoughts need to start making sounds now.

Agape...

So how important is this sleep thing cause I fear it is lost on me now. Midnight my friendly companion, we meet again. Seen too often the last TWO or so weeks.

It helps with getting things done though, bills paid, holiday packing started, practice exam ready to hand in, post holiday to-do lists drawn up (joyous), thoughts neatly filed in sequential order of importance.

It helps less with dealing with daily life.
