Awesome reflection!

Interesting and artistic photography and comment. The Marula Tree at Sunset reminded me of a Lyonel Feininger painting.

Hi Sam! So many critical words and concepts in your writing jump out at me…..mysterious, openness, patience, stillness, nature. Paying attention to the natural world can be so transformative and creates powerful opportunities to really live in the present, in the moment. Isn’t that when we feel most connected and alive? You really make me miss life in beautiful Kenya! ‘Til next week, enjoy! Ox Karen

Oh so true! the bush is definitely a healer & I cannot wait to go to Addo in December for 2 weeks just for that reason – to commune with Nature!!! Thank you Sam that was wonderful!

I often wonder how many folk notice all the different trees whilst in a game park, their different shapes, the flowers on them, their leaves in Winter and so much more! All have their own beauty ! Love your story !

A brilliant read with stunning photographs. The bush really is a spiritual place.
