Accra - Airport.

Expecting the unexpected I swiftly found myself on paved ground infront of many people getting off the plane. The plane however seemed to have disapeered along with Canada and all the time inbetween. It was as though I had been sleeping for a long long while and suddenly someone had picked me up and placed me right there and that was all there was. All there had ever been. The moon remained of course. I was on a journey, the moon knew this. I was a newborn in a new world, parrallel universe really. The moon understood this too. Yes..beautiful, loyal and understanding , there is was. Warm above me. And there I was...in Ghana. Just standing there in an unpainted sea of uncertainties.
Bringing myself out from the drift in my mind was a mad silence amoung my compainions... Four other new borns straight from the womb to the world. Thier faces frozen... with thought, with fear, with uncertainty. A window to thier solitary minds. I could only imagine mine looked the same.
From the plane, through imagration, past security to our lugage was a slow thick proccess. A proccess that made me uneasy. Like cold air on your skin when coming out of a pool on a slightly too cool day.
Once outside again, I felt comfort in the moonlight bath. The ora was a dark purple; a little hecktic yet solid. Standing infront of us was a crowed of what seemed to be a million people. This is where we met with three beautiful people; Dina, Jackson and Eric. There was a sence of wisdom and protectivness about them as they greeted us with great joy. "You are Welcome,.. Nye hyee"
