My Heart in Africa

Every second my heart skips a beat knowing that I am in wonderful Tanzania, Africa, sharing the best of myself. Being in a totally different culture and experiencing peace and love as I wave to a stranger; I become aware that love is happening every second.
I experience deep joy as I saunter right next to a complete stranger; stare into there eyes, speak a foreign word and watch as instant chemistry is created. Everyone here in Tanzania is thrilled about everything they do. They do such organic and natural tasks that I can allow myself to relax and enjoy the moment.
I have learned in just 4 days to lovingly accommodate the rhythm of their lives. The devotion to breathing, laughing, working and playing is contagious and I want to keep Africa's contagious symptoms as long as my heart beats; and beyond.
