Your writing, as usual, is beautiful. The word
Utopia is from a Greek word meaning
No Place. A person could search for it forever and never find it for it doesn't exist. It is best to determine to make as near a perfect Shangri-la as is possible out of the place where one already abides.

I was thinking of my own life, and my search for peace. It is a bit like chasing my tail. Thanks for the wonderful comment.

That line:
'Lonely is the wanderer, who seeks but only finds the echo of his expectations' is just brilliant if I may say so.

Thank you very much for reading and I have also taken into account your observations. Hence I wish to respond. The reason why I stayed quiet was that, it was my first time in such gathering made up predominantly of Cameroonians. Another reason was that, since I was a guest, I wanted to mantain a low profile but not for so long , because, at a point I had to come in. One thing with such gatherings also are that, people come there to show off and also look for rows. I am not a coward but I hate rows. On this thanks very much for reading. God Bless.

Utopia, The Promised Land, Nirvana, etc.; where all troubles have ended and peace abides. The unnamed dwelling place.
