Closer to Heaven…!
And now you stand here in awe…!
And you kneel down and kiss the red-dusty ground you stand on. And you honor an entire continent, peoples, and cultures. You honor the wildest animals, the greatness and the vastness. And in this one timeless-endless moment, you kiss Africa. Behind you stand the Moran. The warriors of the Maasai bow their heads in reverence. Their faces so full of dusty-hot pride and their song so bitter-green. And so they join in the Adumu. The dance of the young Morani warriors. And so they begin to jump in place. So high as if they want to kiss the sky. All the tribal women beautifully painted in cinnamon-spicy hues. Adorned with the oldest, inherited beads. Colorful, shimmering, and full of splendor. But in their faces, the smoky-sweet pain of history and suffering. And so they cry tears. And they became crystals. Woven into precious-shimmering and protective garments. And so behold the Maasai! How with every jump of the Adumu they come a little closer to the sky. They dance to the heavens. So high, so full of fervor and infinitely, unbroken pride…!
Conclusion
Crystal d'Afrique
How bitter it begins. And how beautiful it ends!
Here you can smell the bitter-dry savannah. The sour-green herbaceousness of geraniums and sensitive-green mimosas. You can feel the heat of the steppes where the hot wind mingles with sharp ginger and dark-spicy cinnamon. Actually, it shouldn’t even be here. But it is! And it is the most beautiful I have ever smelled. And I have smelled many! Here, the cheetahs gently lay down to sleep in the lap when the night slowly blinds in smoky-green incense. And if you smell closely, you can catch the dust that the Maasai stir up with every jump of their dance. It smells of freedom stretching proudly towards the sky.
How beautifully pure can pride smell…!
Unique!
I had actually said everything in my statement back then. Actually? There are very few perfumes that have managed to move me to tears. This one has done it. Right into my heart and completely pure and disturbingly raw. The depth of the notes and the ingredients is overwhelming. Here is Africa in its unfiltered version. Everything, but really everything is born in Africa. And it dies slowly on the skin full of beauty, greatness, and pride over hours. I may not be a Maasai,…but I feel a whole lot closer to heaven with it. It is a great honor for me to wear this perfume. Rarely has it been so! And thus, I also kiss the African earth with gratitude. Or perhaps better said,…the SKY!
And so my dear friends,…do me a favor!
Take all those who can no longer jump so high by the hand. And jump with them as high as you can for them. Just like the old Maasai do. Their eyes may be dull, blind, and old. But if you look closely, you will be closer to the sky than ever before. And so look closely…!
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas. The dearest wishes, my friends. Stay healthy and kiss life with every jump. And here it doesn’t matter how high like with the Maasai. Here, the will and gratitude count. Life is a pearl…!
With the fondest thoughts…
