In the bushes of Nahoon On a moonless night Steel blades drink blood in darkness In the valley of the shadow of Death 29 December 2008 ALIVE IN CHRIST IS DEAD IN SIN
oh bitter the day oh bitter the dream beated cheated defeated it’s so sweet it’s so sweet the sisters of mercy washing my feet ain’t it sweet ain’t it sweet
Live hard and die young Feel the heat of the burning sun Swim within my broken tears Dance in the fire of my love Japie K. * * * In fond memory of a wonderful friend and companion
This is very good Richard. Well written. There is gold rush here in SA at the moment, pieces of gold as big as bricks they say. People travel from far but of course it's pyrite it's fools gold it's worthless. Still, the hopefuls come.
Your typesetting ends up very small on my screen I can hardly read it. It's Ok. Good, but where does the "Sixty Year Search" come in? Are you telling of how terribly elusive happiness is? Or/and of the afterlife?
One of my friends still in school also quoted Nietsze: "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger". His dad burst out laughing and pulled of the road and he kept on laughing for a half-an-hour.
The born-frees in South-Africa are young people who were born since 1995 that is Mandela's time and after our first democratic election. That gives you about 23 and younger. Of course they had hopes and expectations.
excellent

Very interesting. It's incredible how much pain and hardship and suffering an individual can cause, in your words "a monster created by the devil."
The opposite is true also, we are blessed with great men like Nelson Mandela, Washington,...
