APRIL
A friend of mine who I had befriended by default came to visit upon invitation. I had wanted to have some thoughts with me alone with her for a while.
As selfish as that might sound it was very true.
She told me how she would be going a spiritual journey and how she didn’t know how I would react to that.
As though she was telling me that she needed help swimming, I dove at the opportunity.
The following weekend I went over to her parents house, where I met the parents. They were welcoming though I felt fear and respect for both. As I got to the door I saw a little sangoma, who was startled by my presence. As I walked in, her younger siblings jumped at me.
I started going there more frequently.
We started to sit together in her room and talk. I tried to understand what she was going through. Which brought us closer and we began to develop feelings for each other. I got to know the little sangoma and discovered some things about her and the lifestyle she had adopted while on this spiritual journey.
