Day fifty four: searching for a spark
One of those mornings
when I woke up with Bruce Springsteen in my head singing "I ain't
noting but tired... man, I'm just tired and bored with myself", I
realised I can't go on like this. I MUST sew something or I will snap. I
had just scheduled lunch with my friend Olga who had her birthday a
month ago, so I couldn't resist making a little gift for her. Olga is an
amazing lady blessed with lovely smile, sharp mind and courageous
heart. She also was the one who introduced me to Dobet Gnahoré - a
singer from Côte d'Ivoire. Olga knew her from the time she spent in
Zambia and suggested I should go to her concert in Luxembourg in 2012. I
did and I am still so happy and thankful for it. I remember myself
crying like a baby in this concert. Dobet's music is so powerful, gentle
and tough at the same time, I had this feeling of a dam being broken
inside my heart and all the trapped streams were suddenly free to run
wherever they pleased. She saved me from burn-out and exhaustion then.
So I listened to her CD* again that very morning which started with me
being "tired and bored with myself" and felt the life flowing back into
my veins. Thank you :)
