Only as high as I can reach can I grow
Only as far as I seek can I go
Only as deep as I look can I see
Only as much as I dream can I be
The life and adventures of..
Only as high as I can reach can I grow
Only as far as I seek can I go
Only as deep as I look can I see
Only as much as I dream can I be

I recently got all my notebooks together in which I have been writing down poems and quotes and things that have made a difference in my life.
One of the notes that I love came from a friend that I met while at Varsity.
It was October 1992 and he was Johan van Rensburg. If I recall correctly he stayed in Hartswater in a house that had speakers in every single room. He loved music and I have recollections of Pink Floyd playing over the speaker in the loo. :-)
He had a saying that I kept and today it has a whole new meaning looking back on my life.
EX HOMEO EST NOVUS OMNIS
Meaning: still waiting for a friend for the correct translation, but basically it means that out of man new things can always be expected.
In afrikaans: Uit die mens altyd iets nuuts.
WOW - Latin is a beautifully rich and deep language.
To look for anything special outside of everyday activities is like brushing
away the waves to look for water.
