Please never let me take this for granted
Far from the cities
And far from the streets
Far from the people
Is where my heart beats
It beats in slow time
In the vast open space
It beats out the rhyme
Of an African pace
With the sun baking down
And the buzz of blue flies
With chirping cicadas
And gentle breeze sighs
There’s no need to rush
No deadlines to chase
Just the slow steady pulse
Of an African pace
The cool of the morning
The heat of high noon
The balm of the sunset
The silk of the moon
The stars’ steady march
The rivers’ etched face
The life loving rhythm
Of an African pace
( “African Pace” by Wayne Visser)
You have such an open grateful heart, I don’t see you ever forgetting the beauty around you:-) Wonderful photos, and I adore the poem. It resonates with my experience of living in the Australian bush. Now I live on the fringe of farming – nice but never as good as the real bush.

Coming from such a great photographer I will take that as a HUGE compliment, thank you. Thanks for popping past to read my blog too. It’s nice to chat to someone who has felt the bush too 🙂
