The sky was blue yesterday eve and the day before that too. Real blue. Because even though the sky was practically overcast the blue seeped through otherworldly like and the tiny patches without cloud were so … blue. And facing the west there were splashes of burnished bronze, bubblegum pink, the colour of sunset. It was so blue, I still tried to quantify it, periwinkle, forget-me-not, cornflower, cobalt blue, iridescent teal; anything other than sky blue. That was just too bland for the colour the sky was. I have landed on azure today. Refiloe had given me a lift home and we ended up talking about how pretty it all was, soothing peaceful and how I want a home in the country or on a big enough estate to be in touch with nature and the African sky and the African blue sky. And to be close to that awe filling God-is-real-in-the-beauty-of-nature feeling.
It made me think of India Arie’s ‘God is Real’ song, coz fo’ sho’ all of this is not by chance… and me being me I went and put it on my playlist and it’s been on a constant playback loop since! Just that sky made me feel better coz it’s God who’s been making sure I don’t’ despair whilst I wait for my permit to come out. Lord, that there be another prayer ๐
Been reading from this blog conversion diary and it’s profound! Hope my blog becomes that eloquent one day. We’ll keep praying why don’t we ๐
