Warning: Potholes, Next 9 600Km: Contemplating Life After Birth

In Africa, potholes are a given, it's just the size which is variant so the saying goes: If you can see a giraffe's head sticking out of a pothole, then you know it's a big one! Hence the dire warning sign: 'Beware Potholes: Next 9 600 km'. But Africa's roads can imitate life and life's journey can be the same. Hard times, crippling sorrows, persecution, betrayals, and natural disasters hit most of us occasionally, and they can leave us devastated. We don't always have the wherewithal to rebuild, restore or reconcile broken relationships without help.
