Get the inspiring diary of my journey
through life !
Learn from the challenges I have to overcome.
MOVING HORIZONS is the account of a very personal
journey - my journey, the one on the road named Personal
Growth. We are all on this road, although it never looks
crowded. Maybe that's because most people don't know they're
on it, being busy speeding down the highway to places far
away.
The articles I write on the way will give you guidance
for your own progress, offer food for thought and inspire
you to see the world in a different light sometimes. I'll
direct your thinking inwards more often - that's where I
think the new frontiers for this century are to be found.
Yes, I have also seen the corners of the globe from the
highway, and for a long time I didn't realize that I had
embarked on another voyage to destinations I never even
knew existed, closer to home - a road full of potholes and
spiked with a myriad of new challenges I had never planned
to travel.
Having left Germany in 1984, it was in South Africa where
I gradually discovered that life is not a destination, that
horizons travel along with us wherever we go and that the
mastery of life seems to be an act of faith rather than
the skilful application of our modern technology we are
so proud of.
We've seen a lot of Africa now, the beautiful and the ugly
side of it. Some of that you will find reflected in the
articles you are about to read, since many of Africa's facets
only surface when you have lived here long enough.
The articles I write are not about Africa, though - they
are from Africa about human joy and dilemma from another
viewpoint than the limited European one I grew up with,
and therefore a mixture of both.
They hopefully add an exotic flavour to what I come across
in my world - and maybe open some eyes here and there. We
have so much to learn still, and so little inclination to
actually do it.
