Longing for Africa

I am having one of the melancholy days where I inexplicably feel like I'm not home where I am. I have these days occasionally, where I feel like I am far from the place where my heart is at peace. Sometimes it is for Germany, sometimes for LA, sometimes for a place I'm not sure I've ever been. Today, I am longing for Africa. I have been so blessed to spend 2 months in South Africa, a place so far away and exotic that I never imagined going there, and yet I have been, twice. Today, that is where my heart would find home. I wonder always if it is because someone or something I love or encountered has thought of me, or there is somehow an emotional connection from the other side of the world. Either way, today, I feel very far from my heart's home.
