The Rope

In der Weite des afrikanischen Kontinents im Süd-Westen von Uganda gibt es einige Berge. Inmitten der Berge befindet sich ein idyllischer tiefer See namens Lake Bunyonyi. In diesem See findet man eine traumhaft ruhige kleine Insel namens Bushara Island. Dort steht ein großer schattenspendender Baum. An dem Baum hängt ein langes Seil.

Was soll denn bitte ein Seil
an einem Baum
auf einer Insel
in einem See
umringt von Bergen
in der Weite Aftrikas?

Sonst noch Fragen?

Hier in Uganda treffen wir immer wieder interessante Leute mit den unterschiedlichsten Hintergründen, Geschichten und Lebensansichten.
Heute wollen wir beginnen in unserem neuen Label (Blogabschnitt) "Weggefährten" euch die Möglichkeit zu geben sie auch ein wenig kennen zu lernen. Wir haben sie in eine Art Poesiealbum schreiben lassen und sie um Erlaubnis gefragt ihre Kommentare euch hier (je nach Wunsch mit oder ohne Bild) zeigen zu dürfen. Damit es echter ist, haben wir uns dazu entschieden ihre Beiträge nicht zu übersetzen und auch sonst nicht zu verändern.
Also, seid ihr bereit? --> Los geht´s!
