We all often have thoughts which we hesitate to share because of the fear of being judge by others. Here, I share my raw thoughts about life, nature and how I believe we as the human race can improve as a species to live more in sync with nature.
Extremes
Keurbooms strand, Western Cape, South Africa Appreciation comes from experiencing the extremes. We can not truly appreciate the softness of the sand if we have not experienced the pressure of the sharp rocks. In the same way we have to face difficult challenges to realise how beautiful life can be when at peace.
The essence of nature
When in doubt, I often turn to nature for answers. Many have judged me over the years for not seeking answers through prayer. Today, I smile because I know that my connection with nature is a far more intimate spiritual experience than I would ever gain from a visit to a man-made temple or church.…
The Ocean
A slave to the pull of the moon That governs the timing of its showers However, the perfect embodiment of power Because to the world it does commune The power to give life The power to destroy In it, all shapes, all colours Harmonized to the rhythm of the ocean strife Its beauty, I can…
