Cape Town Supernature
There are always so many spectacular attractions in South Africa, any time of year, and you can see some of the liveliest festivals and street fairs anywhere. There’s also fantastic shopping opportunities, where elegant and intriguing new items of great personal interest can draw your attention, and you might find yourself suddenly charmed by the objects you’re seeing, and the place begins to speak to you in a way you don’t even recognize. But it’s still lovely, and somehow feels more profound than it did a moment ago. And even though you’re shopping, even though it’s only shopping, there’s something else coming through, and it’s making you feel simultaneously fascinated and fascinating, and you’re part of the scene you’ve been observing. It can be a very heady experience, and Cape Town is one of the most appealing cities in the country, with beaches that are probably ranked on nearly everyone’s list at the top. Cape Town hotels can offer a splendid sense of luxury here, a place away from the place, as it were. There’s a spectacular effort to make things perfect for your relaxation, so that you can unwind and really enjoy the rhythms of another place. The rhythms of this place are old and new all at once, drawing from some of the original rhythms that turned the human heartbeat into the sound of a drum. These rhythms have evolved over the centuries into something entirely other, with multiple rhythms playing simultaneously in some of the most advanced musical forms. Interestingly enough, the polyrhythm is still as complex and sophisticated as it was 300 years ago, suggesting that culture reached a certain peak, and is still waiting for the next movement forward into the next beyond. It’s still connected to the heartbeat, however, and some of the most sacred rhythms connect the heart to the rhythms of nature, and in the liveliest of festivals, the line between human energies and rhythm becomes inseparable from natural rhythm, and these moments are utterly transcendent, and though they come from nature, are given the word supernatural, although no one can remember exactly why.
