Have you ever asked yourself if animals get emotional? It sure seems so when you watch a lioness gently cleansing het cubs. When a leopard gets wildly frustrated by a hyena who tries to steal a kill. Or when a group of elephants mourns a lost family member, gently touching the body of a deceased one with its trunk, standing around it in silence. There is something very intimate going on there.
The elephant is getting close to the little ‘koppie’ we are sitting on; all of us are sitting incredibly still. We have yet to since our instructor shooed us up there when he realized the big bull—that we quietly observed only a few minutes before—was heading in our direction.
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to sleep in a tent in the middle of the African bushveld, falling asleep to the sound of a lion roaring in the far, some jackals playing, hyenas laughing? Have you ever asked yourself if you are “made” for a life out there? Well, I did! Doing the 28-day course in Mashatu was more than just a break from everyday life. It was a deep dive into the core of life itself.
