Cumprimentos!!!! Como Vai?!!!!
Want to take a guess where I'm greeting from now? (in terms of the language)
It's Brazil and it's Portuguese. Oh yeah, the learning continues.
How are you doing on your side of the world? Progression is the name of the game down here in Tshwane, South Africa.
Right, we are still dealing with the Building block called - Relentless Decision. In the last post we concluded the matter of my bro, Oswald and he is now doing better actually.
Rose is an acquaintance of mine whom I met when I was a cab driver. She went to the Eastern Cape for a four month long Missionary Training Program, called me when she came back to Tshwane and asked that I pick her up from O. R. Tambo International Airport.
When she came into the car she seemed both excited and somewhat indifferent, but I made nothing of it because I didn't know her beyond our arrangement as client and transporter.
I inevitably asked how it was down in the South, the home of most Xhosa speaking people and joy came bubbling out of her, "It was quite life-changing Gabriel! I learnt so much there!"
I however sensed a small, almost imperceptable inconsistency in her expressed joy and asked, "So everything was great then?"
Something about my question made her reconsider trying to avoid what I have caught out to be some reservation with this experience. After a few minutes of cogitation and clear reevaluation, she said, "I feel so exhausted Gabe...I'm just so tired of this. I just hate pretending and I feel like that's all I've been doing."
I wondered how a time that seemed to be life-changing could also be so exhausting for her to bring pretence into it, "What's up Rose?"...
To Be Continued...
Ready?
Within the Building Block of Relentless Decision is an important ingredient that if avoided, can cause us a complete meltdown even though things seem to be going well with us in people's eyes and ears. People can't help reacting to what we give them, so its somewhat unrealistic to expect them to know the truth of our inner struggles that we hide.
