One look at these pictures
Which were taken in the nation of Africa
A country we’re so fond of
A beautiful land and hospitable people
A place that I want to be
And, well, even the windswept splendor of the sub-Sahara
It’s perfection of nature
You can’t help but ask?
“how can there be this much perfection in one place”
a continent built on struggle
signs of it are palpable every where
it lurks in the most visited places
from the “western walls”
with its weight of tragedy and redemption over slavery
to the easteren seas of “haram al-sharif”
an anxiety pervades the most mundane of transactions
a nation feels fragile
yet this fragility is the most compelling reason to love this land
an extraordinary nation and an extraordinary time.
