one road to freedom 2

Saturday, March 22, 2008



Cruising through the different town we are staying in and meeting people is a huge high opener on what goes on here. In our head ideas fuse on how to resolve the problems. As we drive back to Johannesburg I stop on this paragraph of the golden notebook from Doris Lessing:

"Every so often there’s a sort of act of faith. A well of faith fills up, and there’s an enormous heave forward in one country or another, and that’s a forward movement for the whole world. Because it’s an act of imagination-of what is possible for the whole world. Then the well runs dry, because the cruelty and the ugliness is too strong.
Then the well slowly fills again.And there’s another painful lurch forward.
Because every time, the dream gets stronger. If people can imagine something, there’ll come a tie when they’ll achieve it.
Keep the dream alive, because there will always be new people, without paralysis of the will."
