Everybody should head off the beaten track at some stage or another. Stop in the middle of a Karoo dirt road and switch off the engine. Get out and stand in the middle of the road. Feel the sun on your face and the breeze in your hair. Listen to the cecadas with no car noise in ear shot. Smell the Karoo vegetation. Watch the clouds move across the blue sky. Can you taste it? What can it be? Freedom.
totally agree with you – but how often do we really do it in our rush to get from place to place?
