South Luangwa, Zambia

I’m in heaven right now or paradise or somewhere not so far away from it. I keep wrinkling up my nose, lazily blinking my eyes as I look around, trying to fully believe that I could be somewhere else besides just there. I’m sure I’ve never seen anywhere more beautiful. This is serenity as we are all supposed to see it; in the way that upon seeing it, it makes you feel it. It absorbs you. It forces unintentional smiles and chest tightening reassurance that peace is amongst us. It’s not something we plan but something we fall into, if we are open to it. I need the world right now to witness this. I need the world right now to drop their guns and their ill intentions and their greed so that they can feel what it is I feel right now. As I look around the beauty of South Luangwa Park in Zambia, I realize that it is all for me. I can’t help but selfishly feel like it’s been a moment waiting for me to walk into. It’s my moment of fulfillment.

What is my prayer or my hope or my desire for this world? It is that every human being may experience a moment deep into love. If my prayer may go beyond that then it would have people living for moments where this love is returned. It would be for us to understand that if it can be felt once than it can always be felt again. It is my desire that we can realize that this is all there is to live for; these little moments that come and go and fill us with everything that we need to be filled up with.
