Ilha de Mozambique
Sitting in the warm pool at Mozambique Island, Mozambique's former capital and UN world heritage site w. buildings dating back to the 15.century. The light blue & deepblue Indian Ocean sweeping up to their blistering white walls in the hot afternoon sun.
-I realize, while doing some leg exercises in the pool to relax the tired muscles, that Im incredible fortunate to have the chance to take in all sides of the world; and also this, luxury side, at a remote point on africas coast.
-Its not always I realize this. Far from ! There are times when after a hot 30-50k in the sun & seeking up a local hotel w. bucket showers, mosquitos & goat dung on the floor, that I somehow dont appreciate it as much ;-)
But I should !
Sarah reminded me yesterday while we were eating our 'dinner in a can' (peas, b.beans and for my part gourmet chicken sausages canned sometime during the early 90'ties) - that this simple life is perhaps the biggest luxury !
..The Silence, the room for Thourghts and contemplation (she meditates several times a day) and to take in the tiny happenings wich make a local day at the particular place in the world, I happen to be at that day.
A local orchestra rehersing at the village square. A donkey sqealing. A woman yelling. The local soccer team having a training match at sunset, kicking up the dust. Or a strange pair of runners inhabiting the local hotel..
