The Highlight | South Africadventures

And these rains, they’re wonderful, you know, because there’s no thunder, no violence: they stay for days, he says, personifying the weather. Yes, yes, it is a blessing from God, and a blessing on you and your journey. God is saying thank you. Or, perhaps, because no gesture or speech can possibly carry enough gravitas, does one simply shake hands and take care to shut the door behind them? I wrote...
