I am filled with equal amounts of excitement and resistance to the change back busy-ness. Going back to University means classes from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon. I'll be taking anthropology, psychology, research and design statistics and geography.
Happiness about being allowed to include Geography, which will lead to environmental studies, in my degree and worry about being stuck in traffic there and back every day as well as having to find the time to do homework, take walks, see friends, blog, love, dance, swim and make some money .
South Africa's supplier of power, Eskom, did not do their future planning well. As a result some days we are experiencing six to nine hours of power cuts with no improvement promised until 2012. This could lead to more candles and less blogging.
Dreaming of one day creating a space where humans, plants and people can live in wild happiness keeps making me feel strong enough to cope with the changes ahead.
It feels like I have given birth to a new ability to take things in my stride. This opens the possibility for life to turn into a field covered in wild grasses and flowers.
The power will be gone in ten minutes so I think I will go for a walk and take new pictures.
Although my words are not dancing onto the page they are dancing in my heart.

Those words danced in my heart too.
Beautiful as always. :) I could say much more but I will leave it at that. I'd love to hear all about your classes and will definitely read whenever you are around to write.
Your words always dance.
Best of luck with school ... sometimes I wish I could go back. I loved school. I'm a nerd.
Your soul dances too.
Words dancing in your heart.
What a lovely thought.

I love the way you do you.
Whenever you get the time to share will be just right. Like that Elizabeth Gilbert piece tossed out this week, "I was never not coming here."

Bunny chow by candle light, wickedy wack.
I'm so glad you are doing what you want to, following your dream, making it happen.
Good luck with everything! It sounds wonderful and plausible and possible.
i miss you.
Your words always dances and it always inspire me.
it has been such a busy week! the busyness took over everything! the art, the joy in small things, the slow deep breaths! So its the weekend and i'm allowing myself all that again.
It's hard to imagine the lack of electricity. It seems like it would be kind of nice to learn to do without a little bit. But it might just be aggravating.
Enjoy your studies, we all know you will do well.
Your joy comes thru in those pictures.
Classes...oh how exciting, the smell of a new notebook as it cracks open. The flood of ideas. The knowledge that you may affect change in this world.
Dear Hel,
I can't wait to see your space where plants, people and wolves (and please, just one peacock) can live in wild happiness.
