Virgin Africa

"Africa is still the 'dark' continent and so Yoga is still a phenomenon we know exists but haven't yet come in contact with. CNN and the rest of the foreign media seem not to consider it as an evil/idol practice. They claim it's some form of exercise which helps relax the mind and body. My suspicion was kindled some time ago(.3yrs) when I heard the practitioners were considered enemies of the State of China by the authorities there. It then sounded like a cultish thing. America and Americans!! If only you guys knew the amount of influence you have on the rest of the world especially virgin Africa, you'd be more careful on what you do. We all look up to you as the land of hope, a sort of Utopia a.k.a God's own country." --ZZ's reply to my whining about Yoga.

BRAVO!!! I can't believe you still have taht memorized. But it's lovely....
I think your poetry is even better though. Was this originally written in Yoruba? Or just English?
What is that line about: "I have never known you"???

I hope you're thinking about those important questions I asked you before you had to go yesterday. I can't stop thinking about them....


LOL Cindy remember us at the train station in the middle of the night in the UK? With that Argentinian dude?
