The Great Below

Ek wonder soms ..

In vergelyking met die persoon wat konstant ‘smooth sailing on cloud 9’ doen, of die klei-trappers soos ons nie tóg ryker hier wegstap aan die einde van die reis nie?

I mean, the view from up there on their happy cloud must be exquisite, maar vanwaar hy sit is die oseaan vir hom net een donker kol.

Yet, for those of us breathing under water, a whole new world awaits.

Toegegee, al sny ons ons voetsole op koraal-riwwe oop, al jaag die haaie ons, al brand die jellievisse ons .. maybe, just maybe, those of us ‘trapped’ in the current .. are the ones really living?

Being able to see both worlds, below and above the surface.

I guess .. sometimes the place you’re in .. makes a difference.
