One of the many perks of having a 40% glass-walled corner bedroom on the 11th floor of a Jo'burg high-rise apartment building, is that I get to sleep and awaken to one of the most breathtakingly beautiful views of the city. It's one of those things you could easily take for granted if you don't appreciate the splendour of simplicity. Not me, though. I'm constantly reminded how each day -- regardless of routine and its similarity to the previous day -- will never be exactly the same as any other; there's always an element of change. It's also unfathomable to think that each day is a priceless gem no one will ever own.
You can be possessed by it, but you can never possess it.
Remarkable, isn't it?
