After saying good-bye to the good folks of Kyotera -- and after a long and fruitful (actually, so inspirational) board meeting -- Jimmy (my Ugandan brother by another mother) met us and took us to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Unbelievable. Endless sky meets mountain, meets sunset, meets greens and yellows and oranges and earth. The stars at night so close that after an evening safari where our guide Matthew (who came from the same Gulu village that my friend Jimmy came from!) led us directly to the old female lion, Anna, that is in the video, I found myself needing to sit on my hands so as not to literally reach towards the sky to see if I could grasp this light for a moment in my palm.
The view from our place is of the open plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park. The Rwrenzori Mountains and the distant Congo guide eyes east and west, while the green carpet of the park, dotted with trees the hundred of elephants haven't managed to topple yet, finds the south and the mood-shifting, colored and clouded sky cradles the sun as the north is met in the upward glance. Just enough and then an overwhelming abundance.
And now, after magic and majesty, we go east to the power and passion of the River Nile.
So fortunate.
Much peace and love,
