each drive is different
sometimes it’s simple,
sometimes it’s difficult
with headaches, and once you strip the bark and weave it, it makes a strong and useful rope. We move on. And as we near the end of our drive, we stop to enjoy a moment of pause and appreciate the setting sun. The bush is peaceful, but full of the sounds of dusk. The nocturnal birds and animals are stirring. Walter asks, “Do you know why the sun sometimes looks bigger and at other times smaller?” I have wondered this, but had never known the answer. “When it’s setting, and it
drops lower in the sky, there are objects to compare it to – trees on the horizon, maybe mountains or hills. In relation to them, it looks huge. But when it’s high in the sky, it’s alone.” The colours of a sunset, too, he points out, are caused by dust in the near distance, rather than anything in the sky at that elevation. As it darkens fully, we drive on, home to the lodge. And I’m left with the thought that with context, all things have more meaning and value.
Right Under the surface of everything lies something of value.
