tabula rasa is translated as clean slate. i have not been doing my personal blog cos i wasn't sure if i wanted to change my blog into a political blog...and then just before writing this i thought of pressing a delete button and send the two years writings into a recycle bin... how sometime we wish life to be like a clean slate. having a chance to start over again; be like a child, learn to speak languages, flabbergasted by the past, in Namibia, we say shocketed by the present [supposedly shocked] ...five months down the line i had a funeral of the last member of my family of seven. actually i am the last member. i was the last to leave the graveyard, deep in thoughts paying my last respect to my lovely sister. life did not have a meaning. it was much easier to die than to live. but then there were orphaned nieces and nephews. i thought they were all looking at me as their only father, uncle, older brother in whom they have found a unit of family. such is my recent past...
after the not-so-pleasant past, i moved to Switzerland. my new home away from home. i have settled in well and am pursuing my master in peace and conflict transformation at World Peace Academy [University of Basel]. it is hard to have all you have dreamed for and not share it with your loved one because you look around and they are no where to be found, wishing to call them yet there is no one at the other end of the phone. when i share this, almost nobody believe what i have gone through but i have learned not to care, just smile. so far, i have had the honor to meet highly esteemed people from all over the world and i continue to have great life. i am learning Swiss-German at a very slow pace. such is my recent present...check PHOTOS.
why care so much when i cant change the past? the future belongs to those who have its vision [unanimous]...im off to a BBQ with friends, uhuuu! [MORE PHOTOS]
