The nights in Victoria falls come with a lot of noise from the dwellers of the bush. Elephants, maybe dogs or hyenas can be heard through out the night. The skies are so clear that you can see the starts splattered all over. Reminds of Temons comments referring to the stars as a bunch of fire flies. They are so clear.
Waking up to the sunrise was a quiet affair. Nothing is more soothing than the quietness and the coolness and the beauty that surrounds you. It’s a perfect place for meditation or even a monastery. Nature literally absorbs you. I find that so refreshing. I feel like my mind and body is healing with each breath I take.
It’s also a great place to bond. In fact traveling to remote parts in the world and of nature has helped Ranil and into strengthen our relationship. We aren’t just people who are married, we are also each other’s best friends, guides, coaches, critics and a shoulder to lean on. It is also helped by the fact that we travel by ourselves and hardly ever with anyone else and certainly not in groups. It’s difficult to spend a few weeks removed from everyone and everything and enjoy one another unless there is a strong foundation of love, trust, companionships than is mutually enjoyable. Also you do not have distractions to take a hard look at each other. Your are forced to deal with another human as much as your own self. Only a meditator will understand what it takes to learn to live with yourself in a profound and compassionate way.
We feel our travels have greatly contributed towards the well being of our relationship. It’s has deepened it and broadened it. I feel that we’ve been blessed in so many ways. I feel life has blessed us and we always make it a point to give back to it. Be it through the work that we each do the causes that we work for and contribute toward we feel it’s necessary to give to life in one way or the other.
