. i wrote this blog post on the tenth of October twenty eleven .... , and could 'nt publish it .... because life took a left turn ... and i felt like an imposter.....
i wrote a few more blog posts after that too , all these have sat in the blogger archives ......
blogging for me , is an extension of my thoughts ... and being the compulsive thinker that i am ... it has become a very satiating and gratifying experience to realize my thoughts down onto a virtual but set space ..............
............................reading my then thoughts , today , as maybe a stranger or maybe a friend might read it .... gave me an insight to so many various different aspects that jigsaws ones puzzle of LIFE , in its entirety .....
so iv decided to go ahead and share that beautiful sacred space of time ..... which will always
remain special ........no matter what path , fate has planned .......................................................
"LIVING IN A POD"
ten October twenty eleven ........................
....its been a while , writers block , some may say , i don't think of myself as a writer though ........
a thinker , a contemplater , a dreamer , a cook , a mum , a wife , a WOMAN
..so , let me explain
i have been in limbo.......................struggling with the yin and yang of this temporary life
you know , i am so much of either , white or black ..................cant seem to find the GREY ................. its so bloody elusive !! .................. and i am just tired , tired of chasing that perfect fit ... the glove fit of serenity , ease , happiness , peace , joy ...............
is it ludicrous to keep on searching for that GREY ... when you know actually you are predominantly BLACK
what in the world is she talking about ? ......................... i hear some of you say............
just rambling on .................
i had three perfect days of GREY ............ recently
you know the kind of days ,
that are just perfect , perfect weather , no wind , blue skies , even the sunshine is just the right shade of bright ! , yes , those kind of days
.................and like all perfect moments , happen , everything just falls into place with minimum effort .................
, i just happened to mention to A that wouldn't it be fantastic to go to Cape Town ..... its been a few months since our last trip *hint hint* .............. he calls me a few days later .........yip , the trip is on ! ............. work and play again ! .............
and i am really a sucker for luxury , .............. l love it luxe
so i search for our ....pied-a terre......... "home away from home" ........
well , not really .............. a lil more , actually ............and the place that i had been perving for a long long while now , is available ........ yes ................ please confirm !..................
we drive up to Camps Bay .................. the mighty Atlantic Ocean to our right ,
it is a sight so wondrous , so vast and far reaching ..................... and the majestic
Table Mountain , to our left
we turn left into Argyle Road , and drive up to no 3 ........... "POD"...........new kid on the block of boutique hotels ........HOT HOT HOT .....................
ahem .................its little wonder 'POD' appears on Conde Nast Hot List 2011 , and finds its place among Tatlers 101 Best Hotels in the world
POD is a luxury boutique hotel like no other ......................
COOL BEYOND QUESTION.....................
RELAXED YET WHOLLY REFINED
BAREFOOT LUXURY
Cocooned in privacy and immersed in tranquil air ..........................
friendly staff cater to every need and desire .................no need to lift a finger....................
RAW YET POLISHED..................
Frequented by celebrities and alive with culture , Camps Bay is one of the worlds most desirable destinations
sun , sea and nightlife ................. all yours to enjoy
immersed in such a cocooned 'POD' .......... it would be difficult not to feel pampered , sanctuaried , pampered again ............... quiet , soft service .................... the mind , body and soul were in unison ...............
this time most definitely for both A and myself ............ in unison
with two souls now in tandem ............... the oyster was there for the taking
we dined out at our old favourite ' HAIKU '................Asian Fusion Cuisine again .......... with a very spicy edge ................. the food was good ............ the mood of haiku , is exactly like how i like it ................ loud , dark , moody but electric vibe ............... trance like ............
we ate , we savoured the food and each others company ...............
we talked , we heard one another .............
souls have to be in tandem ............ to hear one another speak
so often , so loud are the disturbances of life .............. we speak ............ but .......... we don't hear
the days passed in a haze ............... slow , satiating , sexy
the Cape Coast always turned me on ............ especially the ruggedness and masculinity that it possesses .................
three days of balance ............ a balance that seemed unattainable in fast paced Jozi
yet , so in the palm of ones hand ............. here
not in any way .............. a reality , for ever ........................
a lesson to learn ... maybe
a moment to grab ..................... with both hands ,,,,,,,,,,,, yes
i know what i want ....................... if only it were not so
ELUSIVE
