A teaser from the latest blog posted by Lion613 in Cape Town which he titled: “The bergies of Sea Point.” It is written in his usual light and humourous style and well worth READING IN FULL!
“I’ve been waiting for the weather to make it possible to do this: when I was younger, I used to get out onto the promenade, winter or summer, in the heat or the freezing rain, to go for my morning walk. But time and circumstance change things, and these days I only do this when the weather is good enough, and now that time of the year has come.
It’s a very “Sea Point” thing to do and not everyone will understand – like walking the mountain: it’s a kind of spiritual thing. If you do it properly you’ll probably find that at the beginning of your walk you’re just – well – walking, getting to feel the air that still has the bite of dawn, and the waves shushing on the rocks below – but soon enough you mentally change gears and you start mulling over the challenges anticipated in the day which is just then dawning over the Durbanville Hills, and you’d be surprised how many solutions the next two or so kilometres will give you for the day which is dawning. Then you find yourself changing gears again, and you’re on a higher plane, contemplating a more distant horizon, and ready to receive the gift of peace which you just won’t get any other way.
One of the things you’ll have to do along your walk is side-step the bergies.
