A call to adventure 🍀

Take more time Cover less ground. Thomas Merton 🐋

A P R I L 💙 ~ “in harmony with the natural order. Virtue and ethics cannot restrain his will. Naked and free of social conventions, he follows the natural path of the heart.” ~ Liezi, Lieh-tzu

Following the sun this morning, from home to the sea, from the darkness to the light, I had a flash of a moment out on the salt pans of the Makgadikgadi in Botswana with @tinaaponte and @t_and_sons when we rose from our sleeping bags on beds laid out across the flat moon-like pan and glimpsed the white hot glimmer of the sun rising from another world below, slow slow slowly, getting pinker and redder and I, like a fool in a moment of frenzy, picked up my tripod and camera and ran toward it! To get a closer look. To get closer to it! I kept running and running and not once did it enter my head that I would never get to it, not until I turned around and saw the faces behind me. It took a moment and then it dawned. I ripped back around to see the sun. Which now rose full and plump into the sky and all I could do was photograph it before it got away from me entirely. I realise now that I’ll never see the sun up close, not the way I do in dreams, but I’ll never stop chasing it. 🌗🌤🌙

“‘We are thankful to come here for rest, sir,’ said Jenny. ‘You see, you don't know what the rest of this place is to us... It's the quiet, and the air... And you see the clouds rushing on above the narrow streets, not minding them, and you see the golden arrows pointing at the mountains in the sky from which the wind comes...!’ cried the little creature, smiling.” ~ Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend

“At moments of wonder, it is easy ... to entertain thoughts that span the universe, that capture both thunder and tinkle, thick and thin, the near and the far.” ~ Yann Martel, Life of Pi

::: now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly Into the mystic :::

Renzi, whale whisperer. 🐳

The bay was full of excitement last night. Great Southern Right Whales waving their tales all around us, a flash of dolphins darting and diving and leaping and swooshing beside the boat, penguins! Penguins! Pitter-pattering in the big blue far from land, Robben Island (first time!) up-close (from the sea). Sunset above deck with friends, and a feast braaiing below, with prawns and yellowtail. Fireworks shooting off from behind the homes in Clifton, twinkling lights floating up Lion’s Head and Table Mountain in the dark, and the final return indoors for a dash back to land and seals barking us a goodbye!
