Chilling on Clove Island

You know when you have one of those aha moments of exquisite clarity when perspective is so spot on, it fills you in awe of your very being in this time and space. I have had a number of moments like this in the past few weeks while reading a series of remarkable non-fiction insights from evolution to the history of man to the mother-daughter relationship to the meaning of death. It is so important to keep the mind working with new information, stretching your understanding and growing...

However, I am now packed and ready to leave for our 8 day trip to Zanzibar...no deep-thinking, just loads of chilled exploration!

I had so wanted to go to UCT Summer School this year...but the dates fell over our trip to Zanzibar...so the Clove Island wil be my summer school this year. And I have left behind all deep-thinking reading material and packed instead some good mindless books - my sister just gave me a proof copy of "A discovery of witches" by Deborah Harkness...looks juicy.

Will write all about our trip on my return...
