Muuyu

Chapters of my life have been spent among these great trees, humbly honoring them , quietly listening to their sighs, breathing in the energy they exude. They are my Africa. They symbolize a spiritual place, harsh but breathtaking. These great trees make me acknowledge our own majesty and simultaneously our own impermanence. I am humbled by their seemingly ageless presence and am intrigued by the endless myths that have been passed down around campfires for centuries. The ambiance of these great beings has a spiritual energy and some myths say the souls of our loved ones rest amongst their branches, lovingly watching over us  -so close- a very thin veil.

 Nearly every Baobab I have seen in the wild has evidence of Elephants around it , dung , spoor, bark stripped from the tree and carvings from gouging tusks in the trunk, like graffiti on a notice board. The symbiotic relationship between these two great creatures is a spiritual one, pure and real .

There are few people not captivated by the sheer magnificence of these trees and the aura that surrounds them. They, and the elephants that stand under them, are the quintessential sights of Africa.

So imagine yourself there, and sit quietly. listen to the quiet whisperings of your soul. Feel the energy as it filters through you, and let it bring you to a place where the seemingly impossible becomes possible.
