Serendipity at work in this chapter for sure! While I am looking at this as more of a get out there and travel chapter, since not everyone (although they should!) is going to make it as far as Africa. That is where chapter four is telling the reader to go. Go on an African safari and see the Circle of Life first hand. YES! If you can go! The trip we have planned for 2020 will be my fourth visit to South Africa. It is the single most incredible place I have ever been. I could write a whole novel about how the African continent has affected my life. I am incredibly eager to share the experience with my husband 192 days from today. I had no idea when I started working with this book that it was going to confirm the need for the trip we had already planned.
You don’t have to travel all the way to Africa to experience the Circle of Life. Watching a bird of prey hunting in a field, or a great blue heron fishing in your local wetlands are great experiences! My husband has even witnessed a bobcat taking down a rabbit while sitting in his blind. Life is all around us! So while I am very excited that this chapter spoke to me, I am a little bothered that the author is somewhat prejudicial. Yes everyone should reach for the stars and push their boundaries, but those boundaries do not have to have such a high financial hurdle. Just open your mind and heart to truly see and experience things anyplace you happen to be.
