So much was learned during my journey back to Africa. The first time I visited in August/September 2015, I felt myself dissolving into the land. This most recent trip in May/June 2017, I felt myself expanding into the sky.
I’m not sure I can explain the connection I feel with everything when in Africa. Maybe it’s because the animals are so honest. The focus is on the now. Even the experience of a kill is not dwelled on long after. It is part of the cycle of life. The predator has only one motive in its killing: food needed to sustain its life. The prey does not feel it did something to call upon itself an attack. And those left behind may mourn their fallen mate, however, they do not dwell in the past.
