What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
They're really sayin......I love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.
Oh Yeah................

May God bless you all always!

I also send you my love,

Wondering Where The Lions Are?

Sun`s up, uuh huh, looks okay
the world survives into another day
and I`m thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.

I had another dream about lions at the door
they weren`t half as frightening as they were before
but I`m thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.

Walls windows trees, waves coming through
you be in me and I`ll be in you
together in eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
and I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
Wondering where the lions are...

Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake,
thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take,
pointing a finger at eternity
I`m sitting in the middle of ecstasy

Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun,
polished as precise like the brain behind the gun
(should be!) they got me thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
and I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
Wondering where the lions are...
Wondering where the lions are...

Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days we`re going to sail away,
We're going to sail into eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
and I`m wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...
I`m wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...
Wondering where the lions are...
I'm wondering where the lions are...
Wondering where the lions are...

Impi - The 1879 Battle of Isandhlwana

Impi

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

All along the river Chelmsfords army lay asleep
Come to crush the children of Mageba
Come to exact the realms price for peace
And in the morning as they saddled up to ride
Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
The general told them of the task that lay ahead
To bring the people of the sky to heel

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

They came to the side of the mountain
Scouts rode out to spy the land
Even as the realms forces they lay resting
Magebas soldiers were soon at hand
And by the evening the vultures were wheeling
Above the ruins where the fallen lay
An ancient song as old as the ashes
Echoed as Magebas warriors marched away

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Impi! wo nans impiiyeza, Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Sir Richard's Amanzimtoti Beach Front Waves

Hello,

This was taken by me on June 11th 2008 at 7:45 AM, to remind me of what the Indian Ocean sounds like.
I hope you enjoy.

From Sir Richard,

May God bless you and your families!

Hello Folks or Sanibonani!

Hello Folks or Sanibonani!

I am back and very, very tired.
So I will rest for the next coupe of days, as after a 22.5 hour plane ride, I now know the real meaning of
Jet Lag..
I took 1200 pictures and I have attached this one for your pleasure.
For it is a pleaure to be back,
The CSC Mission Team to South Africa/08 did very well in my humble opinon.
Many stories from each of us to share.
As for my pictures, I have yet to copy or upload them all but I will soon.
So until then,
Salani kahle = Stay well. :)
