YOUNG BASADZI - these fears, tears and the blues...

So YES - most mornings I wake up in a state of clarity, purity and harmony-'sattva' in karmic terms - my mind races with such light energy as Young Basadzi plods on even stronger and more determined.

I give thanks to God now and then, I often wonder if I do it enough to keep all of my fears away.

'A horrific car crash kills Sello and Adel Tebello Mokhosi in the remote Harrismith. A daughter, member of YBP unable to comprehend the whole freak accident, dies inside…'

'A 15 year old girl is raped and a horrified sister, founder of YBP can not believe how this could happen as she believed that her sister still had so much to offer. So she dies inside…'

'A member of a recently formed women's forum - was found on the side of the road preaching to a homeless mother at corner of Argyle and Stanger Roads, Durban that she had the equation to a better fulfilling life - she had to be taken into psychiatric unit at Sterkfontein Institute for the Disillusioned. She dies inside…'

'A certain believed-to-be-soulmate gentleman goes off, gets married and has 10 children - a distraught young lady, member and founder of a certain women's group who thought she was over this, realizes that she wasn't - she dies inside…'

I can not predict what lies ahead - I sometimes am terrified that I could wake up one morning and… and things could be different. That I might not want to go all the way with the journey ahead----- now that is a scary thought!

But until then - I guess I just keep moving, positively with little room for these fears, tears and the blues. After all, there is MUCH work to be done…
