Hi all!
This week has been flying past and there was a lot to do. Not only on the writing part, but in real life as well. Lucky, I got around to everything with no outstanding tasks.
Here is chapter 2 of “Let the River Run.” Enjoy. Just remember the big story will start soon. On the moment we are just easing into the environment, meeting people and doing some flying.
In the real world: Later in the story there will be some scenes where the flooding at Sirheni Bush Camp will be inspected as well as the dam wall at the camp. Well, in real life that dam wall was demolished by the park rangers and SANDF Sappers by blowing it with explosives. This was done between the 9th and 12th of March this year. (A few days ago.)
Also in the real world: Today the Pafuri Gate to the Kruger National Park was closed due to continued rain and flooding. The border gate to Mozambique was also closed due to flooding and continued rain.
A reader from Kansas City in the USA emailed me to say that there was a big hailstorm in Kansas that send canon ball sized hail stones through some house roofs. I can relate to that as during December golf-ball sized hail obliterated my sister-in-law’s patio roof. And still there are some world leaders that deny the fact that global warming is just an old women’s tale...
Listen carefully to the song by Carly Simon: “Let the river run. Let all the dreamers wake the nation. Come, the New Jerusalem. Silver cities rise. The morning lights the streets that lead them. And sirens call them on with a song...We're coming to the edge. Running on the water. Coming through the fog. Your sons and daughters...”
All the best and God bless!
Bye 4 now!
