Day 40 - Searching for the Spirit of the Great Heart

And then all of sudden we were there. The face of the people I love. Saying goodbye with immense gratitude to the tree and this beautiful place on the river. The last dawn from inside this experience on the river. I know this is not the end but the beginning. You will be hearing from me. There is so much life for us all to live. I’m not going to try and summarize of sign off well. I have said what I need to say. I will leave you with an anthem by the late great South Africa Johnny Clegg. Volume up, listen to the words:

The world is full of strange behavior

Every man has to be his own savior

I know I can make it on my own if I try

But I'm searching for a great heart to stand me by

Underneath the African sky

A great heart to stand me by

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

To hold and keep me by

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

Under African sky

Sometimes I feel that you really know me

Sometimes there's so much you can show me

There's a highway of stars across the heavens

There's whispering song of the wind in the grass

There's the rolling thunder across the savanna

A hope and dream at the edge of the sky

And your life is a story like the wind

Your life is a story like the wind

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

To hold and stand me by

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

Under African sky

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

I see the fire in your eyes

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

That beats my name inside

Sometimes I feel that you really know me

Sometimes there's so much you can show me

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

To hold and stand me by

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

Under African sky

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart

(Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo)

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
