Observing Observatory Part 2
Finally, words come up with me. Is it that kind of journey?
I have 6 printed texts about opening up to surprises. Warnings to shy from prophets. Beware of they who transfix us and then fix our future. The lesson should be learned by now. (tempted to preach about Dune, but I withhold)
I sit at Stones in Observatory. I overlook a sign advertising NOMAD AFRICA ADVENTURE TOURS. What a crock! What a joke! In this country of ours, we have see the stifling and forced removals of nomadic cultures. They have been forced to use money and their lands given away or sold. So now, it's only the privileged that can use the word "nomad." They pay to move from Cape town to the Karoo. A San tribe cannot move as freely any more. Their hunting and water prospecting land cut. Their living territories are out. What to do? for the policies of the past constrict them still. we have a few people vying for Black land policy but what about the originals of this land?
There is a zone in my ear that has no Khoi Metal stimulating it.
The future is locked in, not by prophets, but by puppets this time. The future is locked in by politician's policies and we end up travelling to it, as it is firmly bound and evidently marred by them.
If we decide to alter one part of the system, we must inevitably alter every other part. Otherwise, we will alienate the oldest of this land. the Nguni and Khoi have not suffered the same future, even though they both were suffering the same past. If we unite, we can grow sustainably, safer than the past and present of our mistakes. If we do not alienate our own people, we will build fewer enemies. Surely, i have dabbled with the idea that we can build a world with no enemies but that's not very feasible nor realistic. Counter-balances will form. They're a natural response to energy moving. Plus, we can't annihilate every greedy person absolutely, for now.
All around me are signs of colonial damage. and I remind my self; damage is dialogue. There is a message being sent here. From history to the present eye. We must constantly view and review the past.
