Dearest King of the North,After reading the newspapers, FAD is overcome:
Statistics indicate that soon the mass murder in the
Congo will reach the same numbers as the Nazi’s
slaughtering the Jews in WWII and Africa is proving
to be totally inept in dealing with their own problems
of power corruption; simply solving the problem of
mass murder by getting the ruling despot to accept
the opposition party as part of the Government –
not a good solution at all.
FAD believes in diplomacy and loving African peoples;
she works with the kindest, most generous people on earth;
and cannot understand that spirit of conflict and manslaughter
lose in Africa; she cannot fathom why her lovely, beautiful
continent is going down so terribly.
FAD read the books by an Afrikaans author called
C. J. Langenhoven when she was young, and he wrote
about the “Hope of South Africa”, a young, mythological
girl in a long green gown with a golden anchor at her waist,
and talking to old Father Time all the time; explaining the
history of South Africa to come – and FAD dreamt of being
the “Hope of South Africa” herself – yet the conflict is
never-ending.
There once was an 80-year war on in Europe – does Africa
still have to pass through the same phase? Does Africa still
have to live through 80-year wars to reach the same level
of beautification as Europe today?
Oh dear King, suddenly FAD feels overwhelmed, not sure of
anything. Please send her a message to keep her diplomatic
dreams strong, give her HOPE; give her trust in the goodness
of the universe; and belief in the various probabilities in which
she meets the King frequently!
Each time FAD contemplates a sad story; such as Marie Plessis
dying of consumption and immortalized as “La Dame aux
Camelias” in “La Traviata” by Dumas; she thinks of the
probable universes in which a myriad happy endings
occurred, and feels better again!
Please let FAD know what is your opinion;
Warmest regards;
The Southern Scribe –
on behalf of FAD.
