The views from outspace of the great continent of Africa
They're so beautiful. Browsing over Western Africa, the Sahara. It's so ancient. So unheard of to our Western ears and unseen to our eyes. Rejected by the palate, it's just another desert to most. To me, it's a fascinating triumph of God's glory... and the programmers of Google Earth. It's beautiful, really. I wonder what secrets lie in the sands of the ever changing wind dependent enviornment. Sands wash over centuries to form dunes and mad desert people with their ancient ways crawl among its interior, a life style so distant from ours. Lounging their tents drinking goat milk and tea, their lifeblood is water and salt. What a truly interesting way to live.
I'd love to go to North/Western Africa for a while to live. Perhaps just six months to a year or so. Just to get a taste of such a distant world. See, I've never been to a desert. Let alone Africa. Africa just seems so fascinating to me. So much there seems undiscovered. Corn and agriculture as a whole seem to be the staple for living and mining. Capital is generated by simple things. I have no idea what they would generate capital from in such seemingly desolate places as Niger... salt? Beats me.
All I know is that from space it looks so beautiful. I'm sure some people could tell horror stories of those ruthless niggers who hacked up innocent people with machetes, but what about the land itself? Did they ever wander ancient gullies on camelback? Or how about thrash the sands of the Sahara hundreds of miles from any town our outpost in a four by four and happen to come across a band of nomads or Taureg? How fascinating would that be? Imagine you're in the desert, by yourself. And you come across a single person also by themself. How bizzare would that be. So many wonders await me in this world on Earth. I'd love to see it all, but life is short and I am poor. Lord, if I could have one thing right now, just one thing: it would be the money to travel abroad this planet earth for a prolonged period of time. The rest after I get back I would be dedicated to make for myself. Something tells me though, I've gotta make it all for myself, though. Can't just expect a miracle to fall out of the sky. I don't think the blessing of kings, if that's what's for me, would even garauntee that.
