Filmou – an Enigma or a Mystery

Hi Girls, Guys and those still undecided… Today I start yet a another new chapter in my life, and this time I am inviting you to attend, middle row seats!

(Have you sat in the front row of the cinema? Not the best I can tell you. And those who sit at the very back, you’re missing out on the very best that the cinema experience has to offer. And to those Knock Off Nigels who can’t resist a cheap pirate DVD, its just not the same… SO PLEASE, GO AWAY NOW BEFORE YOU START WINDING ME UP PROPER)

To those who already know me, Peace Up (index finger and forefinger spread apart forming V sign, palm facing away from the body in an inoffensive fashion; as opposed to the traditionally offensive two fingers up yours salute, with the palm facing inwards)

To Those who know of me, Pleased to Meet You with a firm handshake to boot (I was brought up in a good Christian home, or more precisely a Good Coloured Christian home in the Cape Town hinterland of Apartheid purgatory between Township and Surburbia, forever forging a cleft of social divisions within an already divisive society)

And to those of you young and old who have never heard of me, Welcome – arms spread out wide to share an embrace (so that any fear you may have of strangers be immediately extinguished, whether you be an occasional taveller on this cyber road, or a regular journeyman on the path of life, You are Welcome to walk a mile with me, whenever you like)

Today is the start of new chapter, one where I think I am on my way in the direction of Inner Peace. For too long I have struggled with this inner turmoil, as I strive to fulfil my destiny. For too long I have tried my utmost to control my passage of life. Thinking that it was always just up to me, where that journey would lead me.

How wrong I have been! I may have an idea about my destination, or where I ‘d like that destination to be, but the most important part of life, and LIVING itself, is in the journey and travails that lead us there. The road is long, it is hard terrain, and it feels as if it will never lead to that destination. But it is a beautiful avenue beset on all sides, with the most amazing and magnificent places, objects and people, if I just took a moment to digest the delicicious cacophany of sounds, colours and opportunities that surround me. Just Live! Be Alive.

Life is for Living.
