amen. i know i've said this before, but thanks for putting into words all that is so overwhelming and most challenging in SA. it kind of lets me off the hook of publishing like this for my family to read. :) you interested in writing a thesis on theatre??
Ulixoki Sarah, I wish you wouldn't lie on your blog page.
To all of you poor innocents who have never climbed table mountain--sarah is a liar. it's not a fun experience that makes you feel alive. it makes you want to die. six hours of hell on earth, albeit with a great view.
take the cable car.
More food for thought Current South Africa is a legacy of a horrible system
What is going to be the legacy of the current attrocities being committed?

yup, i'm jealous. thoroughly so. but i guess i could say i'm happy for you too. funny how a landscape can bring out the words in you, huh? beautifully descriptive writing. good to know you're alive and well. miss seeing your face around here! ~peace~
from your long lost campus minister Sarah, so I have not even checked in since you left. So sorry. But now I'm reading your blog and seeing you still are the queen of adventures. I hope it's all good. We miss you in CCM-land and are saving all our stories for you. Love, Anne
now that's a hike! HolyCrackamolie what magnificent beauty!!!! You've developed quite a skill with the camera hon. To get the full impact of your Table Top perspectives we turned out the lights and marveled for awhile. As beautiful as the pics were I'm sure they only captured a fraction of it's true beauty. Thanks for taking us along on your hike-heck I didn't even break a sweat!!!! Much Love sweetie
damn girl, i sure do miss the fing hell out of you--wish you were here so i could lay all my thoughts/burdens/aspirations down and see your perspective on them all...I love you.
srh
Nice sun glasses! Are they Pink?!! How beautiful! Your words are so capturing...."feeling as if I could step out onto it and walk off the edge of the world, out into the nothingness." I can tell how alive this place makes you feel and as much as i am enjoying seeing it through your eyes, i wish i were there! Frankly...i am jeleous! Love you!
WHoah!!!! Sarah~~~how incredible! I mean you had a straight up “spring break!” Geeez, the traveling, ocean, hand gliding, hacky sack in stopped traffic?! I love it! I am so impressed with the people you are meeting too, they seem really fun-loving and free. SO, let me know when you go Bungee jumping I would be too much of a chicken. Gosh I miss you and it is so good to see that you are having such an experience.
I love you!
so you Sarah,
Your journal made me smile, laugh, and think as I read your accounts (some of which were so Sarahisc). I must say, I was very surprised to see my name within your journal entry. Moreover, how can you blame math on human evolution??? Really, do tell. I'm so impressed with several of your pictures and know you are growing so much from this part of your journey. I anticipate more great stories upon your return (like when you bungee jump the highest distance in the world!) but really to hear how your reflections on the trip have molded your spirit further. I admire your adventurous spirit and wish to share in it again with you sometime on another trip. Enjoy the rest of your time!
Purple Elephants! You never cease to amaze me!!! Seems you had the most amazing spring break a human- or monkey-could ask for! Love the blogs! Keep um comin!
Can you ever have too much Fun??? Sweetie, your journal was incredibly entertaining and the photos absolutely beautiful!! You really pulled me along on all your adventures! I'm glad that you connected so well with your spring fling buddies - much merry was definitely had by all!!!
PARTY'S OVER GET BACK TO WORK!
Love ya
Wow, that monkey is really hideous and fairy FREAKS. Please tell me someone called them out. I'm jealous about the flying go-cart thing. Enjoyed your book.
Wow.. I don't know how I missed this entry until now. But now was the right time evidently. Your writing is powerful as always, and I look forward to learning even more as you continue your journey in South Africa and afterwards. I miss getting to talk to you in person, but that will come soon enough. God Bless!
Ok, you know, The Secret Garden.. children´s book, one main character, Colin, is that kid who just lies in bed all the time, until the little girl discovers him and then teaches him how to walk? Little jerk could have been walking the whole time, but no, he had a hump on his back. Gah.
why wasn't I invited?! Sarah, i am glad you are making new friends with out me and all, and i know we have a few thousand miles of distance between us, but it wouldn't hurt to still send me an invitation every now and then. The Mexican joint looked amazing, and tha margaritas...BTW you look like you are too young to drink in that picture. I mean like 12. I like how your hair is growing out, it looks pretty hot! Well! Keep me updated love!
Sarah! Your pictures are beautiful and it sounds like you're having an amazing time down there. Holy cow! you get mexican food?!? You are obviously hanging around quality people :). South Africa looks absolutely beautiful and so different from Ghana (duh). Keep blogging--I'm eating them up! I love you and miss you so much!! (is there going to be enough time to catch up when you get back? :) )
What a Blast ! Well it looked like a perfect day to get with a few buds and play hard. You certainly look happy and healthy with your big grin and rosey cheeks or is that the margaritas shining through. No matter, its just good to see your beautiful smile and to know that you are having fun.
Missing you tons-Mom
Finally, I get to see some of the cool folks that you're hanging out with. Have you been to your garden lately? Have you spoken with Colin recently? You know the whole wheelchair thing is just for attention.....
Mexican food, sounds delicious.. I sure do miss Mexican food.
Lets just say I am proud to know you!!!!!!!!!! You really are kick ass person!! I am also a little bitter, because I am stuck in little ol' Pegram. Boo!!! Anyways I LOVE YOU and I am gald to hear that things are going well for you. MWAHHHHH!
This whole blog thing...
I have come to see the power in expression. But not just any expression, rather received expression, communcation. I see the amazing prospects for creating a space where the people I know and love can enter into these experiences with me--to learn and grow too. And to continue the dialogue I begin here. To challenge my own forms of expression and observations. And my words come to life when they can see a bit of what I see...
I owe this blog to Rebekah Luhrs. She has taken so many risks and through her experiences she has become a stronger, fuller person. And bec... full info
